Recently, people in the press are increasingly discussing the outstanding actor Johnny Depp. Indeed, due to dishonest partners and incorrectly drawn up contracts, he became very impoverished. Despite the fact that a lot of troubles happened in Depp’s life, including a lawsuit with his ex-wife Amber Heard, for many, he is still a popular Hollywood star. And there are a few films that are especially popular, they are reviewed years after the release.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl”
In order for the film not to turn out to be stereotyped, professional directors and screenwriters decided to turn Johnny Depp into a scoundrel character who has a big heart and bright charisma. Initially, the writers did not plan to call this particular actor. But it was Bruckheimer who insisted that Depp play the main character. And such a choice was the right one, since the film delighted many people from all over the world.
Approximately $140 million was spent during filming. As a result, an amount exceeding 650 million was collected.
“Donnie Brasco”
Preparing for the role, Johnny was going through problems related to the family. And it was the shooting in this film that became a real salvation for him.
The script was prepared on the basis of a memoir written by Joe Piston. The essence of the film was that the man was introduced into the New York mafia. Giving preference to this role, Johnny Depp tried himself in a completely new role. And everything turned out great for him, which was proved by the applause of the audience.
This film was radically different from those in which Johnny Depp had previously starred.
“What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”
In this film, Depp played the young provincial guy Gilbert. He takes care of Arnie, who has certain mental abilities. The guy has a serious illness, so there is a possibility of his imminent death. In addition, Arnie has a dream – to visit the water tower. Therefore, Gilbert needs to make every effort to constantly control the young man.
Many people are used to the fact that Depp always plays bright and charismatic characters. But in this case, he showed himself in a completely different way.
“Chocolate”
In the film, Depp played the role of Ru, who is in love with the owner of a candy store, who is also a sorceress. It is Ru who actively helps Vianna so that she fights evil more actively.
This film is a kind of parable that tells about a simple life, about the joys and difficulties that ordinary people can face.
Johnny Depp has a lot of quite interesting and non-standard roles in movies. Each of them has its own characteristics. The actor makes every effort to make his characters memorable and interesting to the audience. You can see this if you look at the films in which he starred.
