Not much with Johnny Depp, I don't know if he's to blame himself. The so-called strange is only for his performance style. The film "Maragao" is a complete embodiment of this style. Although Johnny himself did not make an appearance in the movie, this is a cartoon after all, but Malaga not only voice came from Johnny, but also the expression was pulled from Johnny's face through the technique of emotion capture. It can be said that Malago is Johnny, or, the captain we know well. Johnny's performance has been difficult to get rid of the captain, even in "Confidential Encounter" he is also a captain's respect.
But this time the captain went to the desert, not the ocean.
Deserts and oceans have one thing in common: survival is incredibly difficult. When the narrator of the movie introduced the desert, he said that it took animals millions of years to adapt to this harsh environment. And you must know that this lizard named Malagao is just a pet that was lost in the desert due to an accident, and he probably doesn't know how to write the word "survival". So what can he do to survive? By his rogue. This is what this lizard and the captain have in common. Only rogues can face all kinds of dangers and survive.
Malaga is a eloquent lizard, and the pinnacle of being eloquent is to speak a big word as if it were true. As you know, the rhetorical character in the movie usually dies the earliest, but there is an exception, that is, if the character is the protagonist, the director will not only not let the big talker die easily, but will also give the big talker a Opportunity for big words to come true. In the director's heart, he still adhered to the old-fashioned belief: Malaga, the lizard, is essentially a good lizard. Of course, just looking at his appearance, with slanted eyes and crooked neck, you can hardly believe that he is a good lizard.
Turning a rogue into a protagonist is an anti-hero, and more anti-hero than an anti-hero like Spider-Man, because you won't even find a trace of justice in a rogue. But all antihero movies, without exception, end up with a new hero, albeit a rogue. Malaga naturally wants to be a hero too. But what does it take for a man (or a lizard) to go from rogue to hero? Without a doubt: courage. Not to mention wisdom, because rascals are never short of wisdom (or cleverness). Rogues have no courage most of the time because they are a little clever - they avoid danger by cleverness, and they eventually become heroes because they show courage at critical moments. So it doesn't matter if you say big words, what matters is whether you can make big words true, then Rango will also become Rambo. Of course, for most people, the so-called "critical moment" does not exist, so for most people, talking big is not good.
The name Malagao translates beautifully. We know that Mala cake is a kind of food, and Rango in the movie is a kind of wine name. This translation name is a combination of sound and meaning. Rango is a kind of spirits in the desert, so it becomes the first element of the rogue. To make up a name for himself, Malaga has taken a solid step on the road of the rogue.
Yes, it's a very common Johnny, but in the animation world, it's an animation with a rare style.
