No doubt it's an entertaining enough life story. But why are we celebrating someone whose contribution to the world was to get rich from human misery & tragedy - then lose many years of his life to prison? That's not any kind of success. Yet George was glamorised by this movie, and his portrayal by the handsome and charismatic Johnny Depp. Does a drug dealer deserve to be memorialised like this? Aside from the amount of cash he made, there's no difference between him and any other low-life coke dealer!
Johnny friggen nailed George. This was awesome. What an amazing talent. George couldn't of picked a better guy to portray him. Turns out, that is absolutely true because Johnny did him justice and some, through the portrayal. Its become a cult classic and always will be. Johnny immortalized George and vice versa, through the movie. The stars aligned perfectly for this one. Bravo. Rest easy George. See ya in the next one.
Christ, Johnny really nailed the part. Shows how versatile he is as an actor and one of the best of our generation. If you don't look directly at George's face and listen to his voice, you hear and see depp. Insane. What a legend Boston George is. Rest in peace my friend. You gave us some of the most beautiful one liners ever and some of the best life advice.
