Is Johnny Depp Both the Aggressor and The Victim? — His Life has Turned Into a Movie
And this is what we all can learn from it
I’ve seen the movie blow 7 times. There is something about this story that I love so much. There is tons of sincere honesty about life in there.
Blow offers a great view from being on top of the world — and the next moment having your old friends walking past without blinking an eye when you’re in the gutter.
Depp is so incredibly natural in that movie. It is only lately that I start to understand why.
In blow, Johnny Depp is playing out his own life, only years before similar stuff happened in reality
Agree, there is divergence. In real life he isn’t a marijuana and coke dealer. In real life he supposed to have abused his ex-wife. In the movie he didn’t. In Blow, he is adorable, all the way through. In real life, he is probably not in the eyes of the many people he sued.
One thing I am sure of. Both in Blow and in this real-life, he became a victim of circumstances.
Of life, of marriage, of wine, of money.
Both in the movie as in his real life, this makes him lose almost everything.
