    Johnny Depp's best movie in the past ten years, although the plot is clichéd, but the temperament is charming enough, the exquisite classicism is soaked in vain alcohol. I've seen so many movies about people who are about to die. This is a deeply felt one, live well and die well, don’t walk into that good night gently, don’t live your life at a loss, and Richard opens at the end. As the car rushed to the field, my chaotic heart was also a little bit shocked.
