Jeremiah S. Chechik, directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, starring Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, Aidan Quinn. A heartwarming and enjoyable comedy. Johnny Depp is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the film. He plays Sam, a quirky, bizarre guy who can make mundane everyday life come to life. In general, we live in an extremely stupid and numb world where the vast majority of people do not understand or accept the "fun" of life. Occasionally, one or two people who discover and enjoy the "fun" of life will be discriminated against and excluded. This is one of the most catastrophic human tragedies. Johnny Depp, or the "fun" that Sam tries to tell and bring to our lives. In front of a movie theater or computer screen, we easily accept this "fun"; but when we leave the movie theater or computer screen, we return to concrete life, and thus feel that this "fun" is incredible, we do not have Courage to realize and practice this "fun". So Bonnie and Joan is a poison to numb our numb nerves; of course, not too much, but too little!
