Sweeney Todd
Thursday, November 29th, 2007I think that Johnny Depp is easily one of the most talented actors out there right now. He’s been in countless movies with each role more interesting and less expected than the one before. It’s hard for me to pick a single favorite movie moment of him.
I think that his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy is one of my favorite roles he’s taken, but of the three movies I think I’ll always most enjoy the scene in of the first of the three films, Curse of the Black Pearl, where he’s stuck on an island with Elizabeth Swann. He wakes up the next morning to a fire and discovers that she’s used the rum to fuel the fire. The line that always gets me is “But why is the rum gone?” I think this moment is most memorable just because of the way hilarious way he delivered the line.
I think my other favorite movie moment would have to be from Edward Scissorhands where Johnny Depp played the character by the same name as the movie. I’ve always adored this movie because it had such a surreal feeling to it, and, surprisingly, Johnny Depp really didn’t seem to have a lot of lines, yet I think that was what made the character so endearing. I think my favorites moments are the awkward ones when Edward is just trying to do something completely normal, like get dressed, take a drink or eat his food. The whole movie is about a man who is just trying to fit in, and while it’s entertaining to see him struggle with every day tasks, it’s also a bit sad and disheartening when you look at the bigger picture. Yet Edward almost seems unfazed by it.
I really don’t think that I could narrow down my favorite movies between those two movies. Just narrowing it down to two was hard enough in of itself. Now with Johnny Depp’s latest role in the movie Sweeney Todd, I’m sure that it’s going to be, no doubt, yet another fascinating role. Just from seeing the trailer, I can tell that it’s gong to be quite interesting. If you haven’t already heard about it or seen the trailer then you should most definitely either visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace or visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site to find out more!
