I agree that it's "for sure" but it would have absolutely nothing to do with what Hamada said. The comments were honest but they were also very innocuous. Momoa & Heard lacked chemistry in the 1st film but they still chose to employ her rather than recast her in the 2nd. And I'm willing to bet that she knew about the edits-for-chemistry & rolled with it. It was her first major roll & she was likely just happy that they made it work.

She appeared in several movies and her acting was laughable in each one of them. No wonder Depp had to negotiate both her main Hollywood debut in The Rum Diary as well as her most known role in Aquaman. No wonder the President of DC films admitted (and lord knows how many other people would) that the chemistry with her main co-star was non-existent. Chick can't act to save her life. We can *even* see it in this trial. It's *solely* pretty privilege and Depp's involvement that got her a career. How embarrassing.

Both served the same purpose legally, but in the court of public opinion, very, very, very different. Amber and her team are so far out of their league, it's painful to watch.

@The Amber Heard Playlist!! clearly you support Amber and that’s great but talking under oath in court in front of a judge I believe he would have been warned if he was putting himself in legal Jeopardy and if there is any future issues I’m sure he will manage Ms Heard as succinctly as JD has. As a victim and survivor and having worked for 3 decades with victims both men and women I find her changing stories, lack of evidence, robotic behaviour when relating details that even I myself after 35 years cannot repeat easily to anyone let alone in court and not one tear or runny nose? If she is a victim then all I can say is she is the exception to just about every single behaviour, attitude, speech pattern etc I’ve ever seen and I’ve accompanied a lot of vics to court and seen them torn up. To go from talking about SA/DV/R to smirking and preening is bizarre. It pains me to not believe a victim. It also saddens me greatly that if what I believe is true she is damaging hard work that myself, colleagues around the world and our advocates have fought for long and hard. She lost me 100% when she lied about donations. Victims don’t need to lie to emphasise their trauma or manipulate jurors they are beyond that by the time they have to face their perpetrators and struggle to maintain composure they don’t have time to make up stories or ad-lib. If I’m wrong shame on me but please research victims and survivors there are multiple agencies, people and even channels all speaking out on this and if you are passionate about victims I suggest you could use your time doing much more good than making signs hoping Amber might notice you.

From what I see her own lawyers on putting on a lack luster performance. It's a total difference for Johnny Depp. His lawyers are going at it 100%. Johnny Depp, on the other hand, seems to me to be a nice guy. Whether it be on a talk show, in his films, even when he testifies, Depp always comes off as, if you'll the expression, "just one guy." All of the witnesses seem to have spoken in his favour, even her witnesses helped him out. I get the idea that Depp is nice to anybody and everybody. A waitress, a gofer, the guy who picks him up with the limo, a kid who recognizes him on the street, people who work with him in the film in the film industry.

[@simonbarre-brisebois4684]

Walter Hamada's testimonial was awesome. It really brought forward the reality of moviemaking, which is that there are movies where the main star and its co-actor or co-actress do not have any chemistry and that only through the magic of editing, overacting from the other cast members, and music making can such an illusion occur. It is sad, but it is a reality. And with Aquaman, it was great to hear him admit that Momoa and Heard did not get along at all. This was something everyone saw in the promotion of the film. Even in the trailer, Amber's voice over and her performance was cringing and flat. There were even a few clips of Mera online and in all of them, AH was out of place. Her acting was non-existent and viewers were not impressed by her. There were even posts online saying that Camille Vasquez, Emilia Clarke or even Johnny could play Mera better than Amber and it is true. There are so many people who could play all of AH's roles better than her. And with Aquaman, her performance as Mera could have been done better by anybody. Besides, if the movie made money it is entirely due to Jason Momoa. He was the one carrying the movie, not her. And as Hamada confirmed, she was not and never was the main cast figure. Thanks to him, we see how the goings-on behind the film had nothing to do with the Depp activists or with the lawsuit, but rather due to her terrible performance and chemistry with Momoa. Overall, casting AH was a very bad move for WB. It brought a massive load of PR mess toward the film series. And as we know that the second film will be the last one in the series, this situation occured both because of the situation with AH, but also because of the new individuals in charge of DC Films. As to whether or not AH is still in the second film, or that her performance was recast and redone by somebody else, that remains to be seen. Either way, if she is in the film, the movie will face massive boycotts and lots of boos during AH's short scenes (as Mera is supposed to appear only during 10 minutes of the film). Either way, the revelations here have been strong and showed how much AH was not a good choice for the Aquaman series. And as we all know, the only reason they cast AH is because she was with Johnny Depp when the casting decisions happened. If not, she would not be in the film. After all what happened in Court, AH's career in cinema is not looking good. And I don't think people will be too interested in seeing her stuff. Though this is not a real surprise as everytime she does a film as a main star, it either bombs or her performance is booed.

“What do you mean by fabricate?”. He made it pretty clear to the viewers and I imagine it was made clear to the jury of what he meant. There wasn’t chemistry, therefore the editing team had to make the illusion of them having chemistry by composing specific shots together and in combination with other controlled variables such as music selection. Fabricate just meant “to give the illusion” in this context but for some reason, the lawyer is slow.
