Character Evaluation
Johnny Depp's superb acting skills can conquer movie fans, and it can be said that he has reached a real "superior" state. And his tough temperament is not something ordinary people can have
. He is good at creating characters with weird faces but pure psychology
.
In the movie " Pirates of the Caribbean " series, Depp's image of Captain Jack wearing a pirate hat has long been popular. Although the shape of this hat is really "sloppy", Depp interprets it as a masculine temperament, which can be described as the "sharp brother" of the Caribbean. His cynical performance, with a little turbulent temperament, attracted many fans. In addition to the pirate hat shape, Captain Jack also has a headscarf shape, which is also a classic in the hearts of movie fans
. The coachman played by Johnny Depp in the movie " The Man Who Cried " wears a black top hat, but he exudes an uncontrollable handsomeness that can't be concealed. Then he led the white horse in gorgeous costumes and was full of aristocratic temperament. It can be seen that Depp is indeed an actor with a high degree of plasticity
.
Johnny Depp is known as "Hollywood's No. 1 Weird", from Edward Scissorhands with a pale scar face, to the yin and yang weird and nervous Captain Jack, to the Indian "Tangto" who "tops the bird in the west" in "The Lone Ranger", he The image of the screen is almost never normal. Behind these all kinds of weird characters is Johnny Depp, who is a little shy, but never stops pursuing freshness. He has an artistic lazy temperament, and his speech is also slow.
Johnny Depp is a complex contradiction in Hollywood. He has the free and easy way of "everyone is drunk and I wake up alone", and sometimes he is also a "second product" who "everyone is drunk and I wake up alone"; he is a prodigal son in Hollywood and a good dad who values family; he has a weird and sharp temper. Unruly and indulging in love and freedom all his life, but also sensitive and kind, hiding the unknown affection and fragility.
Some people associate Depp's own characteristics with Captain Jack, and they can really see some commonalities: unstable life, wild personality, freewheeling, contradictory and chaotic. And his shaping of Captain Jack is a stroke of the spirit of his "two crimes". But the feedback after the film’s release proved that Depp’s Captain Jack is definitely one of the most charming pirate images in movie history. Captain Jack is the most unique iconic movie character since the 21st century. Just like the characters created by the Groucho Marx brothers, Captain Jack is the original movie. His style and lines are all original, allowing the audience to recognize it at a glance.
