We all remeber his brother from Stand By Me
(RIP)
Yeah too bad he didn’t turn out like him.
If Phoenix truly hated Hollywood,
he would’ve left the scene for good the moment he held his dying brother in his arms, regardless of his weirdo family pushing them into acting or his brother telling him he’d be big one day.
You don’t recover from something like that,
so to continue to be amongst those circles, has to be some kind of indicator.
Also back in the 1990s,
it was absolutely the cool thing
to hate Hollywood.
All of the young top actors at the time didn’t respect the job, couldn’t care less about attending premieres, promoting their films in the press, half of them couldn’t stay sober long enough to shoot a scene.
It wasn’t about the work at all,
it was about their personal lives and how much attention could they fetch the tabloids.
They liked the Hollywood party scene,
the access to people and resources.
This is what made Depp continue to focus on playing the guitar, he observed the fraudulent nature of it all, so he didn’t respect the craft, the fact that it was his job.
He noticed quickly on that Hollywood wasn’t meant to be art, but a business.
Until he met Marlon Brando.
Also, Zach Snyder’s Joker shouldn’t
exist if his Batman is willing to murder.
Keaton’s Batman killed Jack’s Joker.
