Our Interview Project

Ayşenur Polat and I listened an interview recording with a celebrity. This project is really challenging for us because they were speaking very fast and we have some problems about listening the speech of native speakers. We listened the recording over and over again by taking notes. However, I have learned a lot of new information in this process.

Johnny Depp was interviewed and the interviewer was Steve Weintraub. Johnny Depp explained one of his films, Public Enemies. It is a 2009 American biographic-crime film directed by Michael Mann. During the interview, Johnny talked about making “Public Enemies” the story in 1930s apart from his upcoming film “Alice in Wonderland” and a lot more.
The interviewer constructs the interview by mentioning Johnny Depp’s and the character, well-known legendary gangster, John Dillinger whom Depp plays.

The first question is related to Johnny’s huge fame like John Dillinger’s. According to him, Dillinger doesn’t mind his fame but living with it is so hard. He says “Oh man, you don’t ever get used to that kind of thing. You just don’t. That’s why I hardly ever leave my house. I don’t go anywhere.”

 The second question is associated with where does he want to go without noticing. He said that is a very good question and give the answer Disneyland with his kids. He added he really wants to let them experience that kind of normal thing. “They don’t get to get daddy…daddy walks through Disneyland with them and things get weird at the moment” [laughs].

 Later the interviewer turns back to the film. Johnny talked about being comfortable in the era of John Dillinger and interviewer asked “Do you think he’d be comfortable in this age?” . Actually I liked his answer “I think he’d probably run screaming. I truly do. It’s so wide, the world, now. I’m shocked at things that I see. I’m shocked at things that are available on the internet. I’m shocked at technology is promising in the next couple of years. So, yeah, I think he’d run away.”

 Later they mentioned about Johnny’s prospective film Alice in Wonderland interviewer was curious about what kind of research did he do to add his role something more. He said the book; the book has some mysteries some clues which the scenario doesn’t include.

Our extra questions :

 What’s so special about your relationship with Tim Burton?
Why did you select this role? Did you find the role close to yourself?

BEARY AND KITTY

Once upon a time, there are two friends who live in the forest town. They are Kitty and Beary. They love each other so much, are classmates and their homes are in the same street. They grow up together.

One day, Kitty goes to Beary’s home to enjoy themselves. They play with toys, sing songs, and paint. While they are painting, mother bear Bearcy called Beary because she prepare cookie and lemonade for children.

Beary goes to kitchen and takes tray to her room. She sees something and is shocked. Kitty is drawing something on the face of Beary’s baby which she likes the most. She puts the tray on the table but Kitty is still drawing. Beary is so angry because that baby is her aunt’s present to Beary and she loves the baby so much. Beary can’t know what she should say.  She should calm down.

She takes a deep breath and says:
-Kitty, that was the best toy of mine, why did you paint it without permission.

Kitty says:
-I thought that it would be better colorful. You are right , I’m sorry about it. Then, she goes to her home.

Then Beary talks his mummy and say:
-I was angry with her however I remember things which you said to me and I controlled myself. I didn’t shout at her and and she apologized to me for what she did.

Beary’s mum :
-Well done, my little beary, contolling our rages is so important. She was aware of her mistake and apologized for it. I will clean the face of your toy, don’t worry, baby. Come on, call your friend and play with her.

Beary say:
-You are right, mum. She excused and understood her mistake. She hadn’t wanted to do it.

And she calls her and they come together again, play together.

Theme : It is important to control our rages.
