With long chestnut red hair, melancholy and beautiful eyes, and an affectionate and helpless smile, this is my favorite Johnny Depp. The gypsy tramp in "Chocolate" and "Edward Scissorhands" are all my favorite Johnny Depps. I only like this unruly decadent handsome and handsome Johnny Depp, not the weirdly dressed Pirates of the Caribbean.
I have never been able to believe that the mentally retarded brother Ani is Leonardo DiCaprio, so young, so immature, yet so real, without any trace of a star. It turned out that he was only 19 years old at that time, and he was not yet a big hit. I personally think this is one of his best roles. No wonder some people say: DiCaprio's charm is that no matter if he is a prince, fat, liar or lunatic, there is always someone who loves him. Even if he is a fool, you will really like him like his mother, brother, and sister. When others bully him, he doesn't resist and doesn't hold grudges, so he can always live happily, as long as his brother Gilbert (played by Johnny Depp) is by his side.
For young Gilbert (Johnny Depp), the town of Ndola, boring and uninteresting but inescapable, has to be busy with family responsibilities as long as he opens his eyes. He experienced hardships growing up. His mother couldn't face the fact that his father committed suicide. As a result of eating constantly, her weight increased sharply, and the whole house was about to collapse due to his mother's weight. In addition, Gilbert also needs to keep an eye on his mentally handicapped younger brother, Ani, otherwise he will cause trouble and attract the police. Gilbert's sister resigned to take care of her mother and family in order to take care of her disabled mother and family. The youngest sister, Ellen, was willful and rebellious. The burden of living in Nepal fell on Gilbert. Gilbert endured everything in silence, letting this burden eat away at his young life. This kind of life is hopeless with no end in sight, and it is also the helplessness of seeing the head at a glance, and can only bear it silently, day after day, year after year...
Until he met Betsy (Juliet Louise), who was traveling and cheerful and lively, his eyes began to shine and his smile began to have sunshine. When he realized that he and she were two worlds, all the luster faded at once, and all the sunshine immediately retreated. Betsy was just a passerby for a short stay. One day the car was repaired, and she would continue on the road. And he could only be in this small town, he was tied to his home, he was nailed to the cross of responsibility. She was destined to leave. The love between them is destined to have only a sad ending. Her free sky is the beautiful other shore that he can never reach, an unattainable dream.
Can we have the same dream in different sky? Can different skies finally cross and come together? Can reality be as tender as a movie?
I cried anyway, I liked this movie anyway, I like this Johnny Depp, this Leonardo. Unable to hit the road with you, let my eyes bless you. God should bless those kind and good people who have dreams.
