Sam is also a key character in this film. His appearance enters into Joan's lonely world and gives Joan a true companion. His quirkiness also brought more laughter to the family, being a likable character, coupled with Johnny Depp's own quirky childishness, and his imitations of Keaton and Chaplin, made this funny The role is fully embodied. And Sam is actually a bond, making the relationship between the brother and sister who are in the anxiety stage closer and finding the best way to get along. At the same time, it also provides more opportunities for Bonnie and Lucy, so that Bonnie can finally reap the perfect love.
