    Character Evaluation

    Sean Justin Penn was passionate, excited, but witty in his speech, exactly like Harvey Mick . 
    Sean Justin Penn always talks constantly. He is grumpy, aggressive and impulsive when he is young, and always speaks badly when he is old, everywhere accusing Hollywood of being anti-war and caring about politics. But this famous "bad boy" always has the capital of arrogance and arrogance. His acting skills are natural. The older he gets, the more powerful he is. The movies he directed are incompatible with reality, dark, real and different .
    Sean Justin Penn has always been a name that wanders between acclaim and controversy. Many people remember him because of his tearing passionate performance, and many people because of his war-like marriage with Madonna Louise Ciccone. Rather than discussing him, perhaps more easily remembered, and his unparalleled bad temper. Even as the chairman of the jury of the 61st Cannes International Film Festival, Sean has no intention of converging at all. Of course, compared with the fierce attacks on US President Bush and his administration, Sean blatantly violated the Cannes smoking ban in public places, and smoking in front of the camera at the film festival press conference is not a big deal .
