The Best of Burton-Depp, 21 April 2004
Author:
Miles Charrier from London, England
Without question it's Tim Burton's best, most complete work and Johnny
Depp is superb. Perhaps it's the total understanding of his subject
that allows Tim Burton to fly so high here. The beautifully tailored
script gives room for some exquisite character drawings, Martin Landau
as Bela Lugosi, Vincent D'Onofrio as Orson Wells. "When you re-write a
script it gets better and better" tells Ed/Johnny to his girlfriend
with a smile full of innocence. What a performance! Johnny Depp is a
unique kind of actor, we never had anyone quite like him. How can he
manage to disappear behind a character and still bring with him his
full bag of tricks, I don't know, but he does. I only wish he wouldn't
get lost in mediocrities like "Nick of Time" "The Astronaut's Wife" and
"Secret Window" He belongs to the world of real, great filmmakers.
Better to risk with an original idea by Emir Kusturica than a "safe",
tired, Stephen King thing. Johnny, remember, we're looking at you for
clues about ourselves. More Ed Woods , please!
