Johnny · Depp, I believe many people are no strangers, his "Caribbean pirates" image, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Among so many classic roles portrayed by Depp, my favorite is his "Edward Scissorhands", but today I want to discuss and share with you another character - "Sweeney Todd", which is also the name of the movie.
"Sweeney Todd", also known as "The Demon Barber", is a horror musical adapted from the stage play. The horror is full of blood, such as eating people's fingers in a pie, but the music makes this movie a bit romantic, so it can be summed up after watching it: dark symphony and the art of revenge.
Todd was framed by Judge Tapin, separated from his wife, exiled, and returned to London many years later to take revenge, and when he decided to pick up a barber knife, it meant that he picked up a butcher's knife.
In revenge, Todd slit the throats of those who walked into the barber's house, and sent them directly to Mrs. Lovett's meatloaf shop downstairs, where they were processed into human meat pies. This cruel method is truly hateful and cruel! So I want to remind everyone, if you faint, then stop, because it is indeed a bloody movie.
At the beginning of the film, director Bolton wisely chose a CG to show the whole process of the devil's barber killing people, bloodletting, and meat grinding. I have to mention that the music composed by Stephen · Sondheim, with a screen full of bright blood, really makes people feel like pins and needles during the viewing process.
The whole film, under the multiple resonances of music, plot and pictures, the eerie dissonance, with a bit of cruel humor, perfectly mixes love and indifference, murder and loyalty, despair and hope, and the absurd and cruel worldview of the film itself, which makes people feel depressing, but also enjoyable.
Of course, the movie is not just a revenge surface, dig deeper, and you will see more of the performance that the director wants.
For example, there was one scene that stood out to me. Todd chooses to be merciful when facing a man who comes with his wife and daughter to get a haircut, and even turns his back a little self-deprecatingly to look away from the happy little family. On the other hand, he also "endures" all the time: he endures his desire for revenge, and he also endures the residual warmth in his heart, and forcibly turns himself into a beast with a throat.
For another example, the process of revenge is also mixed with four love stories. It tells people that love is nothing special, and the red men and green women of the world are just looking for some novelty of love in vain, and real love is tired of it.
Of course, many of the characters in it, such as Judge Ta Ping, are also played very well.
My dear, if you expect a cruelty of the extreme, so cruel that you can forget everything in life, and remember to hold your breath, keep your eyes open, and endure a manic heartbeat to stare at the screen stained with black, gray, and blood; If you need a cruelty that is extreme into beauty, then this movie is your first choice.
