The prodigal son, the character superstar, the most unruly man in the world, the sexiest man in Hollywood....

Johnny Depp has always been one of the most loved actors by men and women all over the world!

Depp made his debut with his famous "Edward Scissorhands" .

With Captain Jack from "Pirates of the Caribbean" , he became popular all over the world.

And then starred in "Sweeney Todd", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Alice in Wonderland " and a series of masterpieces.

But in the past ten years, Depp seems to have fallen into a mid-life crisis. Scandals such as alcoholism, domestic violence, and marriage change have frequently erupted...

The saddest thing is that he has not come up with a work that is eye-catching and commendable for many years.

Finally this year, Depp came back gorgeously and starred in a death education film "Professor ", which surprised us. It is no exaggeration to say that Depp contributed the best acting skills in the past decade in this film.

The Professor is about a man named Richard who decides to die .

In fact, he is not very willing, but there is no way, because he has lung cancer is still in the late stage.

When he came out of the hospital, he said fuck three times in a row!

Oh no!

When he got to his own river, he made up 7 more, which was a fucking 10 combo.

After that, he calmed down and planned to tell his relatives calmly during dinner, but his daughter told them that she was out of the closet first.

Then, his wife stabbed him again, telling him that there was a lover outside, and he was the boss he despised the most.

Richard was speechless and could only digest this bitter life alone.

As "Forrest Gump" said: life is like chocolate, you never know what the next piece will taste like .

Only this time it was bittersweet for Richard.

But hardship can also be rewarded, he decided not to waste the rest of his life and enjoy the 6 months.

So he began to let himself go, driving away students who neither liked nor liked his class, and drank and smoked casually.

At home, drunk and taking drugs...

In the bar, it only took 1 minute to hook up with the waitress, and the passion was released in the bathroom.

At school, taking advantage of his wife's derailment, he took advantage of the principal's army and asked for a vacation ahead of schedule.

After a brief frenzy, his body was getting worse, and he began to decide: what to leave behind and, most importantly, a good goodbye .

So, he gave the students the last lesson in life seriously.

Saying final goodbyes to his only best friend and wife, telling her he loves him and wishing her: find some happiness!

Finally, Richard drove off with his dog, but he still had no purpose.

At an intersection, left or right, he thought for a long time, and finally rushed towards the field in front of him...

This scene is very shocking. Instead of following the established route that blinds us, he is heading towards the path of freedom in his heart. It seems that at this moment he has found the true meaning of life!

Remember what Richard said in the film: As a person grows older, you will find that life does not develop as you thought, and at this time you need to find someone who can make all faults handsome pot on his head. Of course there are many feelings that are not like this, but unfortunately I am.

The former Richard, who was trapped in the lies of middle-class happiness, deceived himself.

Knowing that he was about to die, he finally let go of all his previous decency, abandoned all routines and established life patterns, went crazy hippie, and released his broken soul.

But the most moving thing is: his calm and unrestrained approach to death, his refusal to go to death in a vulgar and gentle manner, and resolutely choosing to be himself, even if it is a short-lived self, after the final farewell to his life. !

Richard's life predicament in the film also corresponds to Depp's mid-life crisis in reality.

I think this is the reason why Depp in this film is so moving!

Anyway, it's great to see Depp come back like this!

    Claire: That's it.

    Richard: And, in a word?

    Claire: In TWO words, deceptively simple.
