Even if Bulger's character was a bit over the top visually compared to the real one, it wasn't a problem because Depp delivered what might be his finest acting job. The dinner scene (+grabbing the wife's neck scene right after) is just outstanding. He came a long way since 21 jumpt street.
Johnny should have been up for an Oscar. He was lost in the make up and just everything. I think Johnny likes becoming lost in the character. Absolutely wonderful. His acting as always is great. Easily a scary guy.
Jim did some shit that was seen as good, in the eyes of the old school Boston Irish. But he was a weak person. Nobody with the resources that were handed to him, should ever have to, or ever should, turn into a drowning rat. I respect some of the things he did, and why he did them, concerning the situation in Ireland, but, even those motives come into question. I'm inclined to believe that he was just a selfish, greedy prick, who hid behind the false narrative of being on the good side of the Irish civil war, and was too weak to keep his head above water, without fucking over those who trusted him. Not a guy I would have anything to do with.
I basically agree with you. Hollywood glamorizes this type of thing, but in reality he was lazy, the kind of guy if you met you wouldn’t be impressed with. His brother got him a job working construction but after a year he quit, and went back to stealing. One can surmise from this that he felt honest, hard work was beneath him. Nevertheless it is still a somewhat interesting story; two Irish boys from southie, one becomes a criminal and the other becomes the president of the Massachusetts state Senate.
Absolutely amazing that this was prosthetics on him. In the movie you would never even know! Everything looked so natural and real! Great performance and transformation all around by Johnny Depp and the makeup artists
This movie was very much anticipated and you knew Johnny would be playing Whitey ..but if you didn't know much about Johnny Nd walked up to you I. Full makeup.you may think.he resembles johnny but he truly looks like a different person.... remember the actress who played Maryann.. his face was literally inches from her and she felt it was a completely different person staring at her.. the makeup for did an amazing job.. this was an awesome movie. I had no idea I would like it as much as I did.
Johnny Depp needs to go see a shrink if he claims Bulger was a "man of honor". He was a thief. There is no honor among them. He murdered and ratted. How in the world can he be a man of honor. Also, when I saw him in the movie, for a brief second, I thought I was watching Linda Blair in "the Exorcist".
@John Dough At the core of it all, a person is either honorable or he isn't. Human character does not pick and choose. His family and friends never tested his bounds. Overall, Bulger and honor were opposite extremes.
@John Dough I am not arguing. It is an interesting question about who we are as human beings. Can a man who may be psychopathic actually be honorable in any way. Do you not think that question interesting?
Man of Honor in a criminal mind.. Johnny perfectly understand the psichology behind the man and the respect that he puts in his portray gives the man a new light.. One of the greatest performances of Johnny
Depp deserves an Oscar for that movie
Absolutely right!
I completely agree with you, and Johnny deserves so many more Oscars. If they don't give them, we'll build them a giant one!
Dude he deserved an Oscar for every single movie
Quite extraordinary he was a heroin addict whilst making it.
@@vajolet1 thanks fan
Blown away by Depp's performance. I'm sure he doesn't care that he wasn't nominated for an Oscar, but he deserved it anyhow.
I agree
Bulger was the most inteligent and ruthless Mob Boss of all time.
Damn right!
Because he did his own hits where people like al Capone had people do it for them where's whitey killed people with his own hands
He was charged with 19 murders but was convinced of killing 11 people personally with his own hands
Including tow women

Wow! Johnny Depp is a PHENOMENAL character actor!!!!!
The best, one of a kind.
Thanks
One of the best movies ever made!!!

Shot out to the makeup team 👍 Loooooove Johnny!
Johnny Depp he was awesome he got Mr. James Bulger prefect down to his laugh♡♡♡

@@johnnydepp3500 we Love you Johnny 😍 ❤️ 💐
@@TheMossey2003 I love you all too thanks for the love 💕
it's fascinating to see the way he talks about childhood trauma and pain in relation to the character that we can now compare with his own upbringing
Amazing job Johnny Depp...and the makeup artist.
I love Johnny Depp regardless but this performance really did it for me ❤️❤️💋💋
Always the best character actor of today's cinema
Johnnny your best role yet your such a badasss!!!
I'd absolutely love acting, immersion into a character must be very rewarding..As well working with other professionals on the set...
I feel like Depp has never really gotten the credit he deserves. Especially his performance in Donnie Brasco...
awesome movie, i watched several times !!
Bellissimo film, Jonny Depp magistrale interpretazione, proiettarlo in Italia TV nazionale please! ❤❤❤❤😂💯💯💯💯💯🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Wow. Like, wow. So that’s how they turn Johnny into Whitey.
Absolutely amazing that this was prosthetics on him. In the movie you would never even know! Everything looked so natural and real! Great performance and transformation all around by Johnny Depp and the makeup artists
so scary behind blue eyes
Benedict cumberbatch did amazingly well changing his British accent to a Boston accent!
Just saw this movie for the first time. Johnny was great but I had to see how they did his makeup.
This film is amazing & Johnny omg fantastic & scary love it
well sorry but Johnny Depp was awesome sorry that you feel the way you do but he did Mr. James Bulger excellent
Thanks
with the contacts he reminds me of Ray Liotta kind of
Very good
The best movies
They overdid the brightness of the eyes IMO
"Whitey" was not a likeable man? He was very liked in South Boston in the eighties. So I am told anyway.
There is a fine line between being likable and being intimidating
Normal folks were scared shitless of “whiteys guys”. Some were off the wall and some were gentleman….
its not like you can't tell its johnny dep though
@Kd6sbr Tom exactly!

Was that Amber at 9:48😂
Donnie brasco old
Besides Depp giving a great performance, the movie wasn't very good. Weak script, mediocre direction. The acting saves you walking out on it.

Looks like Viktor from Underworld.
