A pirate called Sparrow

September 26th, 2003 | Published in Films | 26 Comments

I watched Pirates of the Caribbean today. And Johnny Depp makes for an awesome pirate. His mannerisms, his accent, along with his hair — all combines to make him eminently watchable. Do catch it, if you haven’t already.

I admire Depp for the variety of his roles. I’ve watched a few of his films — Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Donnie Brasco, The Brave — and what I like is the fact that he does very diverse roles and brings a lot of character into whatever he plays.

Hey A! Besides ‘Blow’ I recommend an old b/w Depp film called ‘Dead Man’. Not as popular as the rest of his films but one of the best JD films I’ve seen!

Johnny Depp? Diverse roles? Isn’t he always playing the same wacko roles ? Even Jim Carrey does more diverse roles than Johnny Depp. Wanna catch this Pirate thing, but I think its sailed away from Chennai.

Jim Carrey more diverse than Johnny Depp? I wouldn’t agree to that one! Carrey looks the same and acts the same in every movie he does!

I have the VCD at home. Great movie. Depp is really a great actor. I also liked him for his comments re: america, “America is dumb, it’s like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive,” he said.

“My daughter is four, my boy is one. I’d like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out,”
