The many faces of Johnny Depp...
One the first movies I watched where I really noticed Johnny Depp was
when he played "Edward Scissorhands" in the movie with the same title.
Depp seems to alternate playing characters such as Edward who are dark
and slightly disturbing with those who are more charismatic such as
his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. You
have the scene where Edward is cutting the bushes with abandon and
it's eerie yet at the same time in part due to the musical score by
Danny Elfman when you then contrast that to the swashbuckling Jack
Sparrow who in a swordfight scene with Will Turner in the blacksmith
shop clangs their swords in battle in time with the music which also
adds to the alternating humor and intensity of their fight. In Pirates
of the Caribbean, Depp plays somewhat of a villain, yet one with a
good heart.
In his latest movie, Sweeney Todd, he plays a dark character this time
even more disturbing than Edward Scissorhands, with much more murder
than in both of the other two movies and more of a true villain than
in Pirates of the Caribbean. To view the trailer and to learn more
about this latest movie you can visit the official Sweeney Todd movie
site. The movie is being talked about quite a bit on the internet, to
the point where there is a way to visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace to be
able to get even more information on the movie and perhaps have
Sweeney Todd as your "friend".
