Thanks for reading Pavitrata. I’m already getting the shakes and cravings waiting not only for the film adaptation, but parts two and three of Roberts’ life story.

It does pose the question though. are the contours of our adversities shaped by our virtue?

Wow! What a guy! I like that quote towards the end: ‘The contours of all our virtues are shaped by our adversity.’

Words to live by!

Hey thanks Ronny-O! Nice looking personal transformation blog you have there. The squirrels in Wonka were my favourite, although Depp is a long-time favourite film-star. Jaitra Gillespie's last blog post..Beijing says “Too much tricky” to Chinglish

I’ve appreciated Johnny Depp since his 21 Jump St days, a time long, long ago, which in computer terms saw me programming in Basic (10 print “hello”; 20 goto 10 anyone?) and loading games from tape, and in non-computer terms, well, I had just begun High School, so I’m sure you can imagine the rest. All of which is to neither confirm nor deny the fact that I might be slightly off-beam…

I just watched this clip and thought it was excellent. I have read the book but the end did disappoint me to be honest and that kind of stuck with me.

Depp was awesome as Wonka, although to truly appreciate his performance it helps if you are slightly off beam yourself I reckon.

Shardul, it certainly is nice to hear Roberts talk—you can tell almost instantly from his voice that he’s a“jolly good egg.”

Sumangali, I should also admit that it may be 2008 before I read Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, as so brilliantly reviewed by yourself some time ago now. I do wish however that I had remembered your recommendation to steer clear of the 1950s Samurai Trilogy films based on the novel, all three of which I just acquired a copy of the other day…

Yes, it’s true that Johnny Depp’s English accent, as seen in the Pirates films, still needs a little work, although I’m sure the far less refined Australian twang will be a little easier to master

And an outstanding quote—which leads me to… but no, I’d better stop now, and start writing my next post.
