Fair use in Jackal (The Day of the Jackal) edit

The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor User:Joyson Noel to be used under fair use as:

1. it is a screenshot from a historically significant film;
2. it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
3. the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the contract killer practising with his newly customized sniper rifle which is in fact, designed to look like a pair of crutches.
