Hello =)
well.. I really need your help!
I am planning my film studies course work for A2. and my hypothasis is
'Does Johnny Depp develop a similar persona across a range of Tim Burton films?'
My focus films are - Charlie & the chocolate factory & Edward Sissorhands.. & i was going to do Edd Wood. Im not sure I have never seen it. Do any of you know any films of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton that you feel would be good to focus on showing johnny depps quirky roles. Also if you could just comment on how you believe Johnny Depp acts within Tim burton films.. etc.. anything will help just your input on my hypothasis.. thankyou as im a little lost, and my teacher was mean 2 me today lol i wanna prove him wrong by coming out with a good presentation.

I can't profess to have seen a lot of Tim Burton films (But I'm always trying to see more!) but I see where you're coming from in your hypothesis. His characters are often very nervous (Ichabod Crane, Willy Wonka, Victor Van Dort...). If anything, this is probably because of Burton's on style- often his films include characters that aren't quite comfortable in their own skin, or that are outsiders (Edward Scissorhands). Johnny is also a relatively shy man, so I guess that, in a way, he brings a bit of himself into the characters.
I can't say about Ed Wood. I've never felt any deep desire to see Johnny as a cross dresser.

First, a "hypothesis" is a statement for an inquiry which, presumably, will seek an answer; it is not an inquiry itself. So, presumably, your hypothesis is, "Johnny Depp has a similar personna across a range of Tim Burton films".

Second, I cannot see the point of submitting such a narrowly-focused question for your film studies course. I can't even see it being a decent homework assignment. I would be stunned if your teacher accepts it (I'll also bet it will make him/her angrier at you!).

Third, your "hypothesis" is more of a rant. Again, I would be surprised if any teacher in any subject matter would accept it.

Fourth, you desperately need to use a dictionary or, at least, a spell-checker. You'll lower your grade just for bad spelling.

Fifth, the phrase "HELP ME PLEASE" in your question is completely unnecessary, and will actually deter people from answering your question (I wish I hadn't!), because they will believe it to be inane or unimportant (I do, now!), and that you are only trying to draw attention to it. Likewise, the word "Hello" is unnecessary. This isn't a blog; it's a question and answer forum. Also, nobody knows what you mean by "A2".

Sixth, you - - and quite a few of you other youngsters - - use the word "LOL" (Laughed Out Loud) as if you had laughed at the statement which preceded it. Well, we don't care if you had a chuckle at your own statement; aside from the fact that a teacher being mean to you is not funny (and I seriously doubt that your entire question is anything more than a rant about Johnny Depp, thus there is no class or teacher, etc), it is up to the reader to decide whether something is funny or not. So, stop using "LOL"; it's inappropriate and useless . . . LOL! (now THAT'S funny!).

Ed Wood is one of Depp/Burton's best films. I've never seen anything like it before. Edward Scissorhands is also a really unique film as Depp only says 100 words or so throughout the entire film. Only other films I can think with the two of them is Charlie and The Choc Factory and Sleepy Hollow, also, two very good films..
