If the US regime starts burning coal again, Canada will sue. A byproduct of coal use is the release of Mercury into the atmosphere. Then it precipitates out in rain, flows to the rivers, then the lakes, and bioconcentrates in biota. End result - poisonous fish. Minamata disease is no joke.

Saishu Satoru 最首悟 has passed away. He was a was a biologist/philosopher. He was a Todai 助手 Zenkyoto leader, arrested at Yasuda. Later a Minamata-byo expert. Wrote widely about scientific and medical ethics, became an advocate for handicapped people.
最首悟さんの訃報が流れてきた。
現在の状況に対してSNSで果敢に発言されているのを目にして驚いた記憶がある。
『水俣の啓示・上』（1983年）で、市井三郎が優生思想を肯定するような文章を書いたときも、はっきり反論を寄せている。このときの市井のつまずきから私は学ばなくてはと思います。

『MINAMATA』
まず前提として映画としてのできがいい。映像、音楽、演技が組み合わされた総合芸術だという前提に立っている。セリフは抑制的に、演技や人物の行動、画という演出によって語るというスタイルが徹底しているので私好み。
同時に、そうした場合には、視点や物語上の脚色などには疑問なども生じなくはないのだけど、日本人俳優側の熱が十二分にそれを補っているように感じる。俳優を始め、製作陣に怒りが共有されなければこれは成立しないのではないかと思う。

けど一方で『MINAMATA』という水俣病を題材にしてる映画があって、ここに出てくるとある母子は完全に保護と被保護の関係でありながらもまったく別の関係性を築いていてめちゃくちゃ美しいなと感じたんだけど、たぶんそれは「母が子の世話を自己犠牲だとは一切思ってない」からなんだろうなということに書いてるうちに気づけたのでこの話は終了です
