One bad decision Johnny Depp made during his life was not deal with his stress sufficiently. While shooting for one of his films, Gilbert Grape, Johnny was going through a rough time in his life. With hectic work schedules and his recent breakup with fiancée Winona Ryder, this period was a dark for Johnny. So instead of talking of his feelings to someone, Johnny chose to bottle up his emotions and turn to alcohol and drugs. He talks about this stage of his life and his heaving drinking of intoxicants to Playboy in 2004: “There were drugs, too. Pills. And there was a danger that I would go over the edge. I could have, I thank God I didn’t. It was the darkest during the filming of Gilbert Grape.” Soon after he realized he was not going in the right direction and stopped his actions. If I were in Johnny Depp’s shoes, during this time of his life, I would have gone to someone trustable and close to me, and spoken to them about my emotions. Instead of turning to alcohol and drugs that numb my feelings just for awhile. In conclusion, even Johnny Depp is not perfect and makes

Depression causes many mental effects and in most cases, if not treated or helped, can result in suicide. In What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, the character, Bonnie, who struggles with depression and obesity, died of natural causes in her sleep. Anxiety and social isolation are common results from depression as well. For autism spectrum disorder, there is not cure for the condition. Teaching the child from an early age can help the case and make them a better learner for their future in education. While there is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, therapy sessions are the best help. In the case for depression and eating disorders, therapy is a great help as well. I chose this film because of the way it shows the lives of multiple characters who are suffering with a disorder. It shows emotions, hardships, and difficulty with taking care of another individual. My final thoughts on the movie are that while it is an older film, it still shows many excerpts on mental disorders. Every member of the Grape family had to deal with their mother and brother in their daily lives. The disorders are not diseases, but they are conditions. Conditions that develop from birth, childhood, or from an emotional period in their life. Therapy is the best form of help that a person with depression, an eating disorder, or autism can

This it true when talking about the best actor, however, there may be a way to determine the best actor on a variety of criteria. Though some may think otherwise, Danny DeVito is a phenomenal actor, who may be considered one of the best in the industry, from his range as an actor, to the sheer number of awards he has won or been nominated for, or even his projects outside of film, he seems to have it all compared to all other actors.

Johnny Depp, is one of the most talented physical actors of this age. His unique and often wacky movements make each of his characters stand out. Most famous for his role as the ridiculous pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, form Pirates of the Caribbean, Depp is also widely known for a number of other interesting characters in a number of other interesting films, one of the earliest being Edward Scissorhands (1990). The expansion of Depp's use of physical movement is tremendous between Edward Scissor hands and Pirates of the Caribbean. Though they both differ tremendously in personality and physicality, they still maintain the wacky persona that is so characteristic of Johnny Depp.
One scene that stood out in this regard was when Jean-Do was shaving his dad and you could see the anguish and legitimate concern on Jean-Do’s face when his dad said he should not have left his wife and kids for another mistress. Johnny Depp, although a fantastic actor, probably could not have been as complex in this role as Amalric was. The movie deserved a true Frenchman to make the performance more believable in this context. The director must have realized Johnny Depp might not be the best for this particular role and that makes me appreciate this film
