Johnny Depp has created one of the most memorable character here: the mad pirate Captain, with a twisted sense of honor and humor. I would love to see more movies with this irresistible character.

I think he has the potential to become a long lasting modern archetype, like Spock, Darth Vader or Goucho Marx.

More? the most excellent Wikipedia on Captain Jack - highly recommended

One of my great heroes: John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester - who is perfectly portrait by Johnny Depp in the movie ‘The Libertine‘ (watch the trailer here).

He was a witty pornocrat - a man of total pleasure and a very sharp mind.

His great poems are hard to top in their eloquent realism and sarcasm - like the famous ‘A Sartyre against Reason and Mankind‘. It’s certainly not a form of poetry you would encounter in school.

So I highly recommend this horny gentleman to you as well as the movie about his troubled life. It will not be an enjoyable experience, but certainly an intense one. Don’t be afraid of obsessions - life itself is one. Enjoy yours …
