Johnny Depp: "It will be people and not governments or pharmaceutical companies who will get us out of the pandemic"

The first Hollywood star who visits Spain in the pandemic embodies the legendary photojournalist Eugene Smith in 'The Photographer of Minamata', presented at the Barcelona Festival

By OSKAR BELATEGUI

"Johnny, from Kentucky," answers Johnny Depp when the journalist introduces himself with his name and medium to which he belongs. Faithful to his reputation as a late after having the media wait an hour and a half, the protagonist of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is the first great Hollywood star to visit Spain in the pandemic. The merit corresponds to the Barcelona International Festival, in which Depp (Owensboro, 57 years old) has presented 'The Photographer of Minamata', a film by Andrew Levitas in which he gives life to the legend of photo reporting Eugene Smith, who in the 70s was sent by the magazine 'Life' to Japan to cover the mercury poisoning of a fishing village caused by the spills of a chemical company.

'The Photographer of Minamata', in theaters on April 30, focuses on Depp's taste for self-destructive characters, put on top of everything, and claims the value of journalism to raise awareness at a time when a cover went around the world. The actor, happy to be in Barcelona, "the city where the 'Guernica' is," observes confused, lays a cigarette and expands in the answers with his beautiful and deep voice. Of course, personal issues about the judicial litigation he drags with his ex, Amber Heard, with accusations of abuse in between and that have caused his withdrawal from the sagas 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Fantastic Beasts' are prohibited.

'The photographer of Minamata' begins with a song that says "I would love to change the world but I don't know how to do it", which is what I wanted to do through Eugene Smith photography. And you want to do it with your movies?

-I don't think a single person can change the world. Although it seems that Donald Trump did a pretty good job by changing it to put us all in a dark pit... I want to keep thinking that people take care of others when there is something more important than their own feelings or their ego. So we are altruistic enough to join thanks to a fabric that can only last if we take care of it. If not, that tissue will disintegrate. I don't want to sound cheesy, but sometimes we judge and distance ourselves from others very quickly. We are all the same. Why postpone the inevitable?

-Put an example.

-The pandemic. It will be the people and not the governments or the large pharmaceutical companies who will save the world. Understanding this is very simple, we have incorporated it, although perhaps it is crushed by experiences that we have suffered throughout our lives. If we do not open up to each other, if we do not pursue the same passions and the same goals, in the end we will all lose. This is a struggle of collaboration and love for life, for the hope of creating a better landscape for our children. In the Chinese 'I Ching' there is a symbol that translates as "the power of the small", it is the representation of people's fight against a monolithic monster, hitting the base with a small hammer until it falls.
