Glassjaw - Ry Ry's Song

Last night, my friend Chris and I went to see American Gangster. Now, I'm pretty sure everytime I see a movie, I say this but seeing it made me realize how much I miss acting. Acting is my dream. It's what I believe I was set here to do but why did I suddenly get so sidetracked and end up working at Starbucks and doing this concert thing? Aren't I supposed to be working on building my amazing acting resume or something? I mean, the acting in that movie was incredible. It always is when it comes to talents such as Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe. They are some of the most brilliant actors out there in Hollywood. Another brilliance who is my all time favorite actor of all time is Johnny Depp. Now, I know everyone says he's their favorite but usually for all of the wrong reasons. He's attractive or he played a role in one movie or something that people particularly love but does anyone love or admire him for his dedication and time spent developing all of these different characters that he so easily becomes. Or so it looks like he easily becomes these characters from the stiff seats of the movie theatre. Acting isn't as easy as it looks though people instantly think it is. It's not just reciting lines, it's about learning about a different person and actually becoming that person on screen. Not everyone can pull that off and I'm sure anyone who has watched The Disney Channel already knows that. But Johnny Depp will never be one to be typecast because he's never just been that one character. He's been several. He's been a crazy drunken pirate, a dude with blades as fingers, a psycho candymaker, a psycho author, and many many many many many more that I would take all day to list. He is the most admirable actor in Hollywood because he isn't even really apart of Hollywood. To be one of the top paid and top requested actors of our time, he sure knows how to avoid the 'place of dreams' because we all know it isn't everything we dream it to be and he knows that. He keeps himself level and dedicates his time to researching the characters. He adds himself to the spin and we get the most perfectly played roles in Hollywood. Honestly. I love that. I always tell myself that is what I want to be. That dedicated to this career. I want it. I hate that I easily got sidetracked and missed out.

Anyway, American Gangster, even in the three hours long that it was, was a really amazing kickass movie that everyone should see. I hate that even when Denzel is playing the bad guy, I still never want him to get caught but sadly, I already knew the story of the person he was portraying and you can't exactly alter real life... Plus it makes for a good movie when they stick to the realistic factors of the story. Great great movie and the acting is impeccable.
