Why Johnny Depp Doesn’t Deserve to be Canceled
The story of Depp in Blow tells the story of his life — This is what we 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 is the story of being on top of the world and the next moment you find yourself in the gutter while your old friends walk past.
Now I understand why Depp is so incredibly natural in that movie.
In blow, Johnny Depp plays out his present real life
I Agree, there is some 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 people suing him.
One thing I’m pretty sure of: Both in Blow and in Depp’s real life, he became a victim of circumstances.
Of life, of marriage, of wine, of money.
Both in the movie as in real life, it made him lose everything.
Twenty years after blow, Johnny Depp’s real-life story is as dramatic as in that…
