Maverick
superstar Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling
anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s
Revenge.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling
the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors,
led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil's
Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack's only hope of
survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must
forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and
beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor
in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and
shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill
fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe
he has ever faced.
Johnny
Depp has played the quirky Jack Sparrow for four successful Pirates movies and
in honor of return of Captain Jack Sparrow, let us walk down memory lane and
have a look at some of the other marvelous roles that Johnny Depp has played
without a hitch.
1. Edward Scissorhands, Edward
Scissorhands
His
best performance had to be when he collaborated with his longtime friend and
colleague Tim Burton. This is by far the best that either of them have done
which can be clearly seen. Apparently Depp is Burton’s muse which helps with
the vivid imagination like paying homage top Frankenstein myth or deliver a
dark fairy tale for ages or just write a love story for Depp and Winona Ryder.
This role of Depp taps everything that he does naturally as a performer and a
person as well.
2. Donnie Brasco, Donnie
Brasco
This role is regarded as his second best
performance in his acting career to date. The best part about this role is the
way he plays both sides of Brasco’s coin so well, one being the dutiful
undercover cop who sacrifices his family and the other being the ‘Wise Guy’ who
need to make inroads with a criminal organization if he hopes to succeed. Depp
tries and dabbles in a genre where he could be conventional in the movie and
puts just enough pressure on the dialogue or scene to instantly elevate it.
3. Raoul Duke, Fear &
Loathing in Las Vegas
A
true performer knows how difficult it is to successfully play and give justice
to a character in a drug induced haze. The movie is definitely a mess but
Depp’s performance is both pretentious and restrained. This is a terrific high
wire walk by a performer enamored with his material.
4. Sam, Benny & Joon
This
is the closest that Depp had come to filming a rom-com only he did not
compromise his dominant strangeness to fit the need of the script. Depp’s role
and performance as Sam is one big beating heart of eccentric whimsy and
starring opposite him is the beautiful Mary Stuart Masterson.
5. Willy Wonka, Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory
Johnny
Depp’s commitment to the role of eccentric chocolatier is weird enough and
weird enough that he almost singlehandedly argues for the reboot’s existence.
He has proper contempt for the brats on his tour. I like this Chocolate
Factory, and I love what Depp does with Wonka.
6. Tom Hanson, 21 Jump Street
This role established Depp as a heartthrob, a
household name and a dependable actor who could explore movie roles eventually.
He notoriously reprised his role in the recent 21 jump street comedy reboot which proved that even Depp
knew how important the authorization was to his eventual career.
