Depp vs. Heard. See how the stars burn

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, two stars, they are emitting a depressing light for the entire galaxy. The purpose of each is already difficult to understand. It seems to me that they are both enjoying themselves with its disintegration, that they like each other in the attack and in the mistreatment received, that they grow up before the compromising audio that the lawyer puts on them, rocked by the cameras. Gestures look cinematic while monstrous recordings from the past are heard. She looks at her nails with fatal indifference, he holds back his laughter with the gesture of a gallant jester. The most ruinous movie ever shot.

They come from accusing each other of mistreatment and crossing millionaire lawsuits. Taking sides with one or the other in that pool of bile is an act of fanaticism for junk TV consumers. It seems clear that Heard took advantage of the waves of #MeToo to destroy Depp’s reputation, who was kicked out of the industry in its heyday. It seems clear that Depp was not an abuser, at least in the way they are conceived, as unilateral brutes, but that the abuse was reciprocal, and more physical in the case of Heard against her ex-husband. But they are insignificant facts before the spectacle of the trial itself, before the suspicion that They don’t know how to separate.

They are sadomasochistic loves. I know several. Couples who always speak badly to each other and provoke the embarrassment of friends at dinners where discomfort is chewed and reproaches are drunk. Who does not know one of those unbearable marriages? Who has not seen how addicted to displeasure? In the hatred of Depp and Heard I recognize the bad love, the hook stuck with the other. And we, why do we look? What we see? Stars emit light as they consume themselves. They fascinate. And all unhappy couples are consoled by crossing paths with a worse one.
