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 for its entire running time. visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site
