Film and Art and two things which everyone would agree are synonymous to each other, and that in everything piece of cinema contains artistic elements to it.

Aren’t you lucky? by Melissa Haggar For many, film is about true escapism; being able to distance yourself from the everyday and find solace in something truly wonderful on screen. For some actors, taking on a new role can be a particularly daunting task, especially when the role is so far away from what you are used to playing, or not exactly the ‘norm’. Often, it is these eccentric and distinctive ‘characters’ that people remember the most, and this is no more evident in the career of Johnny Depp. There is no role too wacky or too unusual that Depp cannot play, and audiences delight in watching his transformation into different characters on screen. With the release of Depp’s latest film, Transcendence, we take a journey back and explore some of his essential roles as an actor, giving you recommendations of what absolute Depp delights you need to watch. by Leah Stone This week, I decided to look at films that aim to grow as its audience does, whether that just by the characters aging, or raising the age ratings to go with the audience, or to try and relate to the lives of the audience on some level.
