Hello Everyone
I will leave Johnny Depp's trial semantics out of this, even if it is the current hot button topic, but this is the battle of titans, the two greatest actors of the 21st century, both with 10 epic movies or more under their belts facing off in the battle of the oscar snubbed legends of the big screen.
Johnny Depp's body of workPirates Of The Carribean - A multi Billion dollar franchise with pokey bois with rum habits who love to sail the high seas in mission of obtaining badassery. Johnny Depp is charismatic, eccentric, and debatebly at his finest in these movies in terms of acting prowess.
Edward Scissorhands - To sell the meloncholy wholesale in a way the view can find palpable is difficult but the man is almost a living Tim Burton illustration, he fills the part but the part merely fills him. It becomes him. It is like art in motion.
Donnie Brasco - Proving Johnny can step out into a more serious and held back role, someone more real to life, obtainable and realistic to a real world. Proving that he can act more than just eccentric characticutures.
Leonardo's body of workTitanic - Daveeer, elegant, the only actor who can make poor look so classy, that can make gutter rats look like pedigree pomeranian dog, he captures the artist love story in ways only he could and he was so young and in his acting infancy while he was doing it. It is obvious a classic.
Django Unchained - Taking the role of a racist enslaver can't be easy but to make it believable? It is one of his best acting achivements.
Romeo And Juliet - His command of Shakespear dialogue, giving a story that is historic a twist without breaking it's literary pelvis is something he handles well. Probably the greatest on screen Romeo of all time.
ConsensusI feel Johnny Depp could stretch himself to play Jack Dawson, maybe young Depp especially, but can I see Leonardo stretching himself to play the mad hatter or literally a british carmeleon? Between accents and range, he covers so much. I feel he might be just a bit more versatile as an actor
Who do you think is better. Johnny Depp Or Leonardo Dicaprio?
