Amboi tajuk.
So aku nak sokong media mainstream ke untuk bash Johnny Depp?
No.
Even aku macam org gila yang dok tgk trial dia & movies dia back to back just to watch his charming face. Tak, aku malas nak bercakap tentang JD in real life or his trial.
Aku nak bercakap tentang one of his movie. Harap-harap tak panjang berjela entri ni.
Movie yg dimaksudkan ialah "Don Juan". From the cover & tajuk, mmg dh nmpk JD mesti bwk watak lelaki hensem kasanova. So aku macam tak minat nk tengok pd mulanya. Come on, minat JD tu memang minat. Tp aku masih cerewet tntg jalan cerita dan karakter yg dia bawa.
But bila baca full sinopsis, mcm menarik sbb ia bukan tntg lagenda Don Juan, lelaki kasanova kat Mexico tu. Tp ia tntg seorang lelaki yg mengaku dia Don Juan, pakai baju zmn Mexico lama dan guna bahasa Spanish padahal dia sedang berada pd era 90 an di New York (kalau tak silap). Tambahan dia ada suicide attempts sbb kecewa dgn perempuan, jadi semua org rasa dia ni gila. So dia dibawa ke hospital psikatri dan disiasat status kesihatan mental dia. Makanya dia ceritalah kisah hidup dia kat doktor.
Pada aku sinopsis ni dah menarik sbb ada kaitan dgn psikologi. Mungkin sama best dgn movie 'Casanova' oleh Health Ledger.
Tapi hampeh. I mean okay mmg filem ni filem tahun 90 an, lebih lama dr Casanova versi Health Ledger tu. 90 an kan mcm era yg cringe skit tp ada je filem JD yg best mcm 'Benny & Joon', which ckp psl mental illness jgk. Tapi throughout the film aku rs disgust weh dgn filem Don Juan ni.
Satu ,banyak babak tak senonoh dan cringe. Just so you know i skip those part. I dont mind karakter Don Juan tu nak jadi pencinta wanita sbb dia "gifted" or somehow kekurangan kasih sayang wanita. The premise sama macam Casanova.
Tapi karakter Don Juan tu xde perkembangan. Dia disukai prmpuan sejak kecik like all woman fall for him (iyolah tu), dia jumpa first love (cikgu dia yg jgk bini org, having forbidden love), frust sbb the rship gagal, then move on to be the man that fulfill all woman filthy desire.
Disgusting nya.
I mean aku boleh terima how Casanova being kasanova, ia bertitik tolak dr kekurangan kasih syg ibu. And he do want to find love among those woman, cuma dia tak jumpa prempuan yg sukakan dia sbb dia. Bkn sbb dia kasanova.
Dlm Don Juan, first scene weh. Dia nk cari bgnn nk bunuh diri tp stop kat satu hotel. Dia nmpk ada sorg perempuan yg mcm dh tua jgk gelisah tunggu partner dinner dia. Pastu Don Juan ni pergi kat dia, terus mengayat. Pastu having sex.
And the words he said about "woman desire that have to be satisfied".....eww annoying kot.xde maknanya romantik -_-". masa ni aku harap sangat karakter Don Juan jumpa Amber Heard. Hurgh.
Basically pd Don Juan, love tu bermakna having physical intimacy, dgn ayat manis 24 jam dan fikir psl kecantikan perempuan 24 jam. Aiyooo stress pula aku menengokkan.
At last dia end up with Don Anna. Seriously aku harap sgt perempuan ni lain dari yg lain. Macam karakter heroin dlm Casanova.
Tapi tak. Dorang jumpa kat pantai, dia belai2 Don Juan pastu having good time together. Then satu hari perempuan ni persoalkan cinta Don Juan as if tak percaya he can love one woman.
Don Juan frust sbb tak dpt sepenuhnya hati perempuan ni. Long story short they mcm having love quarrels pastu Don Juan bawa diri ke NY. DJ realised he love her alone. Tapi tak pasti if he had enough time to reconcile back with her.
Aku cam...apabenda la konflik engko ni. Konflik cinta dlm cite Gone with The Wind yg jadi ms WW1 tu pun lg best.
The ending si Don Juan mengalah, mengaku dgn panel doktor yg dia sbnrnya bkn Don Juan tp lelaki biasa yg duduk kat Queens. But then itu sbnrnya taktik dia nk keluar dr hospital tu, buktikan yg dia sbnrnya tak gila.
Throughout the story dia dibantu oleh sorg doktor lakonan Brandon Marlon kalau tak silap (pelakon cite Godfather. Wait Don Juan tu watak dia dlm Godfather ke? *aku mls check).
Doktor ni is another character yg aku cringe. Ntah la get a room la kalau nk bermesra dgn isteri hang.
So yeah i dislike cite Don Juan ni. Casanova is far more better. Mungkin sbb pd kbykan waktu aku lebih suka tgk karakter heroin. Dalam Don Juan, woman are just a hiasan yg perlu dibelai sentiasa. Mmg tak salah tp semua karakter perempuan dia xde isi, fungsi. Hanya cantik semata2 dan tunggu lelaki layan mereka.
Tak, aku bkn feminist bila aku ckp aku suka heroin dlm Casanova. Karakter heroin tu bkn semata nk lawan dominasi lelaki kat Venice tp bljr utk percaya pd cinta seorang lelaki yg broken. They fight for each other at the end. Ending dia simple. They being far from the toxic environment of Venice, be with the one they love (family & friends) & just live a simple life.
Aku bersyukur aku tak stop tgk filem 'Ed Wood' (another JD movie) tgh jln sbb that movie lg interesting dr Don Juan. So far my favorite JD movie is 'Benny & Joon' & 'Charlie & Chocolate Factory'. Franchise Pirate of Carribean aku hanya suka Curse of Black Pearl & Dead Men Chest. Yg lain karakter Jack Sparrow dh terlalu cliche (konon dia mati at the end of film tp pastu next film eh rupanya hidup lg) & the fact dia ada love rship dgn prempuan. Tell you what, dalam semua drama atau filem, give a savage cool man love story then boom his character turn to idiot dan tak menarik lg.
Cth karakter Barney dlm HIMYM, Doktor House dlm House. Cer tgk Sherlock Holmes versi Bennedict Cumberbatch (dan semua versi sebenarnya), dia remain jd lelaki cool sbb no woman have the same league. Irene Adler jela karakter yg setara tp they wont go far towards marriage.
