The Johnny Depp Debate
I've been thinking about a few movies that have come out in the last
few years: "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Finding Neverland". Both of
these movies star Johnny Depp at his finest. They're both fantasy
films, the latter in part and the former in totality, and required
Depp to take on personifications that were completely unlike the actor
himself. I enjoyed both movies. "Pirates" was witty, entertaining, and
embellishing. "Neverland" was beautiful and nearly flawless in its
acting and execution. As Captain Jack Sparrow, Depp literally
transformed himself into a loud mouthed and equally drunk pirate
captain. I remember reading articles about his kids being embarrassed
to go out with him in public during the filming of the movie because
he dressed like the captain and everything. "Finding Neverland," for
me, is one, if not, the ultimate film in the Johnny Depp collection.
His role as Sir James Matthew Barrie, who created "Peter Pan" is
wonderful and inspiring. Check this film out if you have not, it is a
tearjerker, be warned, but it is an excellent film, nonetheless. That
brings me to a much anticipated movie release for "Sweeney Todd". This
also stars Johnny Depp, who undoubtedly will be transformed once again
into a fantastic character that will light up the screen and entertain
