Jonide talks about the starring work "MINAMATA" at an online press conference from France "The government only tells what is convenient"

The online press conference of the movie "MINAMATA" was held on the 2nd, and the leading actors Johnny Depp and Andrew Levitas attended online. Depp looked back on his thoughts on playing Eugene Smith, a photographer who told the world about Minamata disease.

Depp is from France, and coach Levitas is from New York. Depp, who also participated as a producer along with the main character Eugene, said, "There was no hesitation. It was a work that should have been made," he asserted. " Many people in Minamata had a hard time. And now, many people are having a hard time because of Corona. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but now we're fighting an invisible enemy. I think it's a work that should be seen in this era," he said.

In addition, Depp said, "Japanese actors such as Minami and Hiroyuki Sanada intuitively understood this work and gave it weight. Mr. Sanada came to the scene every day outside of the shooting day and supported the young people. I was moved by the fact that I was doing my job as an actor who looked at myself inwardly while doing that. In general, I think we were taken care of by Japanese actors," he said, looking back on his joint performance with Japanese actors.

Depp said, "I felt a sense of responsibility for playing Eugene. Eugene was physically and mentally injured in the war, and therefore he was self-destructive. He was a person who was in pain because he was delicate," the director said, "I think Johnny's dedication and artistrism are similar to Eugene's. I heard from Irene that Eugene always had a radiance of hope in her eyes. Johnny, you have exactly that kind of eyes.
