Jonny depp essays Recently I was fortunate enough to see the new Johnny Depp movie Secret Window. It was inspired by the Stephen King suspense novel, Secret Window, Secret Garden. It was about a man who was accused of plagiarism on his novel and comes to realize that his past has some unfinished business to take care of. It is a struggle between a man and his conscience and it is interesting to see how he drives himself mad after a life alternating incident takes place.

I found the movie very predictable at times and caught myself predicting the ending early in the film. The only thing that I felt held that movie together was the performance by Johnny Depp. Most of the movie consisted of Johnny Depps character alone in his house with limited conversation and action. I dont think I would have been able to stay interested in the movie if it was someone else playing that role. Depp does a bril liant job portraying a man struggling between identities and fighting his own conscience as he slowing goes insane. John Turturro also delivers a fascinating performance as he plays the evil identity of Depps character. He has a certain sinister look to him which worked very well for the role he was playing. The movie was supposed to take place in a little American town in the middle of nowhere. Most of the movie took place in an old wooden house, on a lake, surrounded by wilderness and not another house in sight. This worked well to give the setting an eerie feel that builds a lot of the movies suspense. Overall I would give the movie two out of four stars based on its predictability. I would have given even less if not for the performances which kept this movie in line. ...
