WHATS EATING GILBERT GRAPE

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JOHNNY DEPP OR HIS INVOLVEMENT IN A NORMAL ROLE!!

YES I JUST SAID IT!! JOHNNY DEPP PLAYS A NORMAL CHARACTER IN THIS MOVIE. He plays Gilbert, a young adult who is taking care of his overly obese mother, who let herself waste away after Gilbert's father hung himself in their basement. What makes this even harder is he has a mentally retarded brother to take care of also in Leonardo DeCaprio. Yes, two big names, one small movie, just like how most actors get their first acting jobs so don't be surprised Johnny Depp was once at that level.

Anyways, Gilbert meets this woman and her mother who broke down I an RV outside of town who challenge his thinking as to whether he wants to stay and be the caretaker for his mess of a family all of his life. Gilbert ends up hitting his brother in the climax of this conflict and eventually chooses to stick with his family.

The surprising part is when his mother starts to get her life together after meeting this woman that Gilbert has fallen for.

It is on Netflix so EVERYONE should be able to watch it, ITS GREAT!!
