Movie Credit To Depp example essay topic

Analysis of Roger Ebert's "Finding Neverland" Film Review " Finding Neverland" is a recently released motion picture starring acclaimed actors Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, and directed by Marc Forster ('Monsters Ball") Personally, I loved the movie and It was hard to find a critic that gave the movie a negative review, so I stopped trying to find someone to argue with and I came across the king of all critics, Roger Ebert. I usually don't agree with his reviews, so I figured we would clash on this one, but surprisingly we came to agree on many aspects. He makes a point to mention Freddie High more and the remarkable job he did playing the angry but sad role of Peter. A very challenging role for a child that even most adult actors couldn't portray.

He can make you feel so sad for him although he is acting like a brat most of the time, but he makes you feel the pain he's going through with the tears and sadness always running through his eyes. He also commends Johnny Depp for his "widely differing roles" bringing up characters Depp has played in the past which gives you a glance at how many different roles he has not only played, but was excellent in portraying. It is obvious Ebert was impressed by Depps performance but it seams he is giving the movie credit to Depp and ignoring the director. "For Depp, 'Finding Neverland' is the latest in an extraordinary series of performances. After his Oscar nomination for 'Pirates of the Caribbean' (2003), here is another role that seems destined for nomination. And then think of his work in 'Secret Window' (2004), the Stephen King story about the author caught in a nightmare, and his demented CIA agent in 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' (2003), and wait until you see him in 'The Libertine,' as the depraved and shameless Earl of Rochester".

He also ignores Kate Winslet's performance and the great job she did. One thing that I noticed he didn't get into very much was the sexual side of the film. I was glimpsing over a few other articles on the movie and a lot of reviewers made comments on how Depps character was impotent, and had a thing for little boys. "And though the film flirts with the suggestion that Barrie's relationship with the boys may have had unsavory connotations, something that has been much speculated upon, the evidence seems to indicate that Barrie, an extremely short and unattractive fellow with none of the dapper attraction of the handsome Depp, was probably impotent, and that was the source of the dissatisfaction in his marriage". -- - Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press. I can see where this statement is coming from since they touch upon the subject in the film, but the director did a good job in making sure that Depp's character was not creepy, but yet like a child himself.

And Depp plays the role with such innocence that you would never question the fact that the boys are simply his muses and he loves that family. He pretends to be a part of it, and it is the only thing that makes him happy. "Finding Neverland" is a great film, and got excellent reviews, although most of the credit went to Johnny Depp and not the director. I feel Marc Forster should have received more recognition.
