i'm among those who are very much fascinated with romantic atmosphere of France.. the elegant and proud stance of the eiffel tower at its core.. it being the hub of classy art museums/galleries as well as the glitz and glam of the fashion world, films, cuisine , language, culture..  
these are only appetizers, however, what i love most with France is.....
Johnny Depp.  
 
Johnny Depp the Unexpected Actor  

when he was a kid, johnny depp would often come home from school school, flip on the TV and watch old silent movies - mostly comedies, especially Chaplin. he didn't know it at the time, but he was learning the craft that has made him the most admired of the movies' younger male stars - in the industry and among the knowing audience.  
in life, he's a shy, soft-spoken man who, when he's not working, lives quietly much of the year outside Paris. onscreen, he has frequently played versions of himself - perhaps most notably as J.M. Barrie's Finding Neverland, for which he was Oscar nominated. in these roles, he sometimes hints at a mysterious damage, some ineffable pathos, that he chooses not to explain- perhaps because he does not himself fully understand their sources.  
it is, however, when he lets his body language do the talking for him that Depp, 41, is at his most arresting. he once impecabbly imitated Chaplin's immortal Gold Rush roll dance (in Benny & Joon), thereby openly announcing that rooted his art in the great lost mime tradition of the silent screen. his great comic performance (also Oscar nominated) in Pirates of the Carribean is said to have been based on a close study of the Disneyland ride that was the movie's nominal aspiration. the touch of herky-jerky in his work was an imitation not so much of life but of audio-animatronics--a brilliantly imaginative choice.  
but he was equally astounding that same year as a casually murderous rogue CIA operative in Robert Rodriguez's Once Upon a Time in Mexico - as merry an embrace of psychopathic darkness as the movies heve ever offered. and recently with his favorite director, Tim Burton, remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, kids' ultimate favorite. over the years, depp has run for burton a rich gamut of grotesquerie: the wounded animal shyness of the prosthetically challenged Edward Scissorhands; the booyishly Ed Wood, gleefully making his cheapo classic camp movies while maintaining enthusiastic normality amid his casts of outcasts; his postmodern gloss, at once horrific and comic, on Sleepy Hollow.
