Minamata

A Beautiful Movie that no one promotes, I wonder why. It's even sad that people, mainstream media and twitter blue checks don't talk about this movie. Great Performance by Depp and by most of the cast, even by the "real people". Touching story. And of course the photography of this film is outstanding, but that's predictable.

Johnny Depp is truly wonderful in this role. His portrayal of W. Eugene Smith is multi dimensional. His performance brings us to a place not many have known, the victims of Minamata. While taking place in the 70's.. it is still on track for what is happening today.. How we are destroying ourselves. How these people are still suffering even now. With his name power, Mr. Depp brings an uncomfortable subject to the public, one they would normally not see. Again and again Mr. Depp proves why he has been proclaimed one of the greatest actors of our generation. This movie is incredible, with a story we all should know. With a supporting cast of international actors all at the top of their game.

Mr. Depp once again showed what a powerful actor he is. I am not going to write about charm and charisma, I will only note that all actors fall into two categories. The play of the first ceases to be perceived as a game and begins to be seen as life. The character comes to life. The play of the latter can be good or bad, but it is always clear that it is just a play. Depp belongs to the first category.
