Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)
The one Walt would have been proud of.
This is a true gem. Call it Disney's "It's a Wonderful Life". A short fantastic story by Charles Dickens with a great message for all of us during the holidays. First of all i want to thank the screenwriters who successfully adapted the story into a Disney setting: Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit, Jiminy Cricket as one of the Christmas ghosts, etc. Great job ! The drawings are perfect again. These could have been easily made by Disney's Nine Old Men. Look at those houses, the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. All beautiful ! And above all there is this heartwarming story with some touching scenes. (Tiny Tim's Funeral)
10/10 Truly, the best Disney short and probably the one that Walt would have been proud of.
The Libertine (2004)
*Do you like me now? Yes,we do!
I am John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester, that is it. Allow me to be frank: you *will* not like me.
That's how it starts.We're in the year 1665.We see a pale Depp surface in the dark,talking to the audience while saying and spreads dirty language in the 1st minute of the film.
Depp has showed he's always the master of the film.That's not a secret.He can play a man with scissors as hands,a director who likes to wear Angora sweaters,a freaky journalist,a crazy pirate,an eccentric inspector and a chocolate factory boss.
Now he play's a sick bon-vivant who likes to make plays about dildo's :p How newcomer Laurence Dunmore has managed to get stars as Depp and Malkovich for this film is unbelievable.Don't forget the beautiful set,medieval costumes and a wonderful soundtrack.
The result is a tremendous drama!! 8/10
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Depp is a GENIUS!!!!!! -->Oscar
FANTASTIC
If you see the trailer then you see a bit of a "childish" film and Depp appears a bit gay! Do Not Believe this!!!
That Depp And Burton are a brilliant combination i don't need to say anymore.That Johnny Depp can do it also without Burton has he in such a way enough proved. The opposite counts also.
The film start with the heavy voice of Geoffrey Holder (i had rather preferred Morgan Freeman ;), the acquaintance with the family Bucket (with woman Burton) and a small mysterious biography about Willy Wonka told by Grandpa Joe. All very beautiful with the necessary beautiful soundtrack of Danny Elfman --> Worship
Then the turn comes in it with the missing journey to the so 5 roared tickets for the visit at that factory. The news about those spoiled children with the cursing of that hilarious other Grandpa and the wonderful invention of the last golden ticket by Charlie.Good! Good ! Good!
Chapter 2: AGAIN A SUBLIME JOHNNY DEPP!!!!
That man can act really everything. Depp this time not with scissors, blond wig only with a high hat, odd package and purple gloves plays his roll with so much conviction as the self yet what childish Willy Wonka. Also giving Wonka some family problems is a brilliant invention.The strict education by Christopher Lee gives you a trauma. Why is there a comparison with Michael Jackson??? Jackson loves children, Wonka hates them! Violet Beauregarde: I' m Violet Beauregarde. Willy Wonka: I don' t care. Good! Good! Good! All those hilarious movements, pronunciations and funny scenes: Wonka throws the ticket of Mr Salt away,walking against the glass elevator, and those insults!!!EXCELLENT!! , Wilder can't get at the knee-height of the performance of Depp.
Could it be possible? After POTC and Finding Neverland,the 3th time in a row receiving an Oscarnomination ?? I hope so!!!!!GIVE IT TO HIM!!!!
The visit of the factory starts with a hilarious moment with those puppets.Also visiting the great hall is a pleasure."Everything here is eatable.I' m eatable, but that my children is called cannibalism and it is frowned upon in fattened societies".Lol,Lol,Lol The travel through the factory is magical, fantastic and especially HILARIOUS
With 5 children in the leading parts,you have to be careful. We know already after Finding Neverland Freddie Highmore is a future Leonardo Di Caprio .But the other 4 with a yet empty CV did also an excellent job.
Not only Depp makes the good film also the soundtrack, the beautiful cares of the set, the songs and it naturally fantastic story!
IF DAHL COULD SEE IT,HE WOULD BE PROUD!!!
