Avem un proiect de suflet pe acest blog. O serie de articole care recenzeaz\u0103 toate filmele \u00een care a jucat Johnny Depp, din secunda debutului \u0219i p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een prezent. De ce? pentru c\u0103 Johnny Depp e actorul \u00een care m\u0103 reg\u0103sesc \u00een cea mai mare m\u0103sur\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 o mul\u021bime dintre voi \u00eel iubi\u021bi. \u0218i pentru c\u0103 filmele lui sunt<\/strong> o lume de sine st\u0103t\u0103toare, iar liantul dintre ele e chiar Johnny Depp.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Din episoadele precedente: Aici avem primul film al lui Johnny,\u00a0A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/a><\/strong>. aici avem\u00a0ep. 2<\/a><\/strong>, \u00een care am reunit ce a mai jucat el \u00een anii 80 \u2013 mai pu\u021bin\u00a021, Jump Street<\/strong>, aici avem ep. 3, debutul s\u0103u real \u00eentr-un rol care l-a pus \u00een valoare cum trebuie,\u00a0Cry-Baby<\/strong><\/a>, aici avem ep. 4, capodopera care a marcat \u00eent\u00e2lnirea sa cu Tim Burton: Edward Scissorhands<\/a><\/strong>.iar aici avem un veritabil guilty pleasure, Arizona Dream<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suntem \u00een continuare \u00een 1993, iar unul dintre subiectele dificile ale perioadei e s\u0103n\u0103tatea mintal\u0103. Cu patru ani \u00eenainte, Dustin Hoffman secerase recolt\u0103 de premii cu Rain Man<\/strong>, \u015fi cu un an mai devreme, John Malkovich crease unul dintre cele mai impresionante roluri din cariera lui cu Crava<\/strong>… vreau s\u0103 spun cu Of Mice And Men<\/strong>, ecranizarea textului memorabil de John Steinbeck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m, un regizor suedez care s-a remarcat pe plan interna\u0163ional ca omul care a regizat videoclipurile ABBA – da, lui \u00eei datorezi pozi\u0163iile acelea enervante cu un c\u00e2nt\u0103re\u0163 \u00een fa\u0163\u0103 \u015fi unul \u00een profil \u015fi ABBA: The Movie<\/strong>, dup\u0103 care, brusc \u015fi din senin, a cotit-o spre filme artistice \u015fi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 dea pe band\u0103 rulant\u0103 minun\u0103\u0163ii: My Life As a Dog<\/strong>, The Cider House Rules<\/strong> \u015fi, desigur, dar desigur, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hallstr\u00f6m are o predilec\u0163ie pentru familii disfunc\u0163ionale \u015fi tineri \u00een deriv\u0103, iar familia Grape din micul or\u0103\u015fel fic\u0163ional Endora, Iowa, e de natur\u0103 s\u0103-l m\u0103n\u00e2nce pe Gilbert (Johnny Depp) cu fulgi cu tot, dac\u0103 e s\u0103 facem o glumi\u0163\u0103 care s\u0103 valorifice titlul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Totul e o ruin\u0103. Casa lor veche st\u0103 s\u0103 se surpe. Tat\u0103l s-a sinucis dup\u0103 ce a dat faliment iar mama, Bonnie, s-a \u00eenchis \u00een cas\u0103 \u015fi s-a afundat \u00een m\u00e2ncare p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd a ajuns literalmente c\u00e2t un tanc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(\u00cen rolul lui Bonnie, Hallstr\u00f6m a distribuit-o pe Darlene Cates, care nu era actri\u0163\u0103, ci o personalitate de reality tv care se remarcase \u00eentr-un show despre obezitate. Darlene a fost at\u00e2t de autentic\u0103 \u015fi de emo\u0163ionant\u0103 \u00een film, \u00eenc\u00e2t, ulterior, a f\u0103cut studii de actorie \u015fi a \u015fi sl\u0103bit 100 de kilograme. Ironic, dup\u0103 ce a sl\u0103bit, rolurile au disp\u0103rut. Wellcome to showbiz.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cei patru copii, Gilbert (Johnny Depp), Amy (Laura Harrington), Arnie (Leonardo diCaprio, \u00een primul s\u0103u rol mare, care i-a \u015fi adus o nominalizare la Oscar \u015fi Ellen (Mary Kate Schellhardt) sunt nevoi\u0163i s\u0103 se creasc\u0103 \u00eentre ei, \u00een timp ce \u00eei g\u0103tesc farfurii imense de m\u00e2ncare mamei 100% inutile, \u00een\u0163epenit\u0103 pe canapea. Arnie (Leo) sufer\u0103 de o form\u0103 de tulburare mintal\u0103 nediagnosticat\u0103 care \u00eel face s\u0103 se comporte ca un copil de 8 ani – de\u015fi \u00eempline\u015fte optsprezece, \u015fi s\u0103 fie remorca perpetu\u0103 o lui Gilbert, care \u00eel supravegheaz\u0103 peste tot, inclusiv la munc\u0103 (un mic magazin pe nume Lamson’s Grocery, amenin\u0163at de hipermarketul care tocmai s-a deschis la marginea ora\u015fului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuplul Gilbert – Arnie \u00ee\u0163i aminte\u015fte de Charlie – Raymond din Rain Man<\/strong> sau George – Lennie din Of Mice And Men<\/strong> \u015fi presupune o sinergie special\u0103 \u00eentre cei doi actori. Aici, cu particularitatea c\u0103 ambii sunt foarte tineri: unul de 20 \u015fi ceva de ani, cel\u0103lalt de 18. \u015ei dac\u0103 cel care str\u0103luce\u015fte \u00een mod natural \u00een acest joc de doi e de obicei actorul care are rolul cu dizabilit\u0103\u0163i, m\u0103iestria, subtilitatea, tragedia, deciziile dificile sunt \u00een sarcina celuilalt, \u015fi el aduce \u015fi \u00eenc\u0103rc\u0103tura tragic\u0103 a situa\u0163iei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realitatea e c\u0103 Gilbert Grape este unul dintre rolurile lui Johnny Depp care \u00eemi plac cel mai mult. O interpretare simpl\u0103, curat\u0103, care \u00eencepe cu ni\u015fte ochi mari de copil b\u0103tr\u00e2n, care duce cu sine toate poverile universului. Dup\u0103 sinuciderea tat\u0103lui s\u0103u, a fost silit s\u0103 preia toate responsabilit\u0103\u0163ile legate de \u00eentre\u0163inerea familiei, pentru c\u0103 sora lui Amy, cealalt\u0103 adult\u0103, face toate treburile casnice, iar Arnie \u015fi Ellen sunt adolescen\u0163i. Nimic din ce face nu \u00eei aduce vreo bucurie, \u015fi jocul actoricesc de o deosebit\u0103 subtilitate al lui Depp vorbe\u015fte despre oceane de lehamite \u015fi ranchiun\u0103, strecurate discret sub r\u0103bdarea \u015fi polite\u0163ea de suprafa\u0163\u0103. Lamson’s Grocery e pe cale s\u0103 dea faliment, \u015fi printre pu\u0163inii clien\u0163i care o \u0163in \u00een via\u0163\u0103 e nimfomana doamn\u0103 Carver, care \u00eel dezbrac\u0103 din u\u015f\u0103 pe Depp, \u00een timp ce ochii lui mari, tragici, \u0163ip\u0103 \u201eviol\u201d. Aventura cu aceast\u0103 femeie e \u00eenc\u0103 un mod \u00een care se neag\u0103 pe sine. Tragic, b\u0103rbatul ei \u0219tie de aventur\u0103 \u0219i \u00eei tot d\u0103 t\u00e2rcoale amenin\u021b\u0103toare lui Gilbert, invit\u00e2ndu-l \u201epe la birou\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practic, Gilbert e \u00eentr-o capcan\u0103 existen\u021bial\u0103 din toate punctele de vedere, se ur\u0103\u0219te pe sine la fel de mult cum \u00ee\u0219i ur\u0103\u0219te via\u021ba, \u0219i te tot a\u0219tep\u021bi s\u0103 se sinucid\u0103 \u0219i el, din moment \u00een moment. Johnny transmite asta cu fiecare ripost\u0103 furioas\u0103 pe care o \u00eenghite, c\u00e2nd maic\u0103-sa se v\u0103ic\u0103re\u0219te de chestii pe care ea ar fi trebuit \u00een primul r\u00e2nd s\u0103 le rezolve, sau fra\u021bii pe care \u00eei \u00eentre\u021bine \u00eel s\u00e2c\u00e2ie cu rahaturi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar via\u021ba aduce \u00een micul ora\u0219 uitat de lume o rulot\u0103 care se defecteaz\u0103. \u00cen rulot\u0103 e o gagicu\u021b\u0103 boem\u0103, liber\u0103, lipsit\u0103 de prejudec\u0103\u021bi \u0219i presiuni, ghidat\u0103 doar de bucuria de a tr\u0103i. Becky (Juliette Lewis) face turul Americii cu rulota, \u00eenso\u021bit\u0103 de bunic\u0103-sa, o doamn\u0103 la fel de liber\u0103 \u0219i de relaxat\u0103, \u0219i aduce o prospe\u021bime \u0219i o spontaneitate care contrasteaz\u0103 acut cu sacii de balast din via\u021ba lui Gilbert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur, de cum Gilbert \u00eei acord\u0103 un pic de aten\u021bie lui Becky \u0219i \u00eencepe s\u0103 dea chiul de la \u0219irul interminabil de sarcini din care e compus\u0103 via\u021ba lui, totul se \u00eentoarce cu partea dorsal\u0103 \u00een sus: doamna Carver se crizeaz\u0103 \u0219i creeaz\u0103 situa\u021bii jenante, Arnie e arestat \u0219i dus la poli\u021bie, iar Gilbert ajunge periculos de aproape s\u0103-\u0219i bage piciorul \u00een tot \u0219i s\u0103 i se al\u0103ture lui Becky \u00een interminabila ei aventur\u0103 nomad\u0103. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0218i nu voi spoileri mai departe, pentru c\u0103 filmul merit\u0103 v\u0103zut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O metafor\u0103 gr\u0103itoare a situa\u021biei \u021bapului isp\u0103\u0219itor din familiile disfunc\u021bionale, o poveste despre abilitatea de a \u00eendura c\u00e2nd destinul te face cal de povar\u0103 peste noapte, o explorare a disper\u0103rii \u00een cele mai \u00eentunecate forme ale ei, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape vorbe\u0219te despre t\u0103rie interioar\u0103, asumare, suferin\u021b\u0103 \u0219i speran\u021b\u0103 \u00een moduri care \u00ee\u021bi vor atinge inima. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
