In
an interview Johnny Depp talked about playing Tonto in Gore Verbinsky’s The
Lone Ranger and how Hollywood portraits Native Americans
“Since
cinema has been around, Native Americans have been treated very poorly by
Hollywood,” Depp said. “What I wanted to do was play Tonto not as a sidekick –
like ‘go fetch a soda for me, boy!’ – but as a warrior with integrity and
dignity. It’s my small sliver of a contribution to try to right the wrongs of
the past.”
“I’m
probably one sixteenth Native American, but of course that’s hard to trace.
Basically that means it’s likely that, somewhere along the line, you were a
product of rape.”
Starring
Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Berry Pepper, James
Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.
