Sweeney Todd, 2007
April 26th 2008 16:59
All I have to say is, " GO TIMMY, GO TIMMY, GO GO GO !!!" What a wonderful movie ! Even though, I have never got to see it on stage. I have to say Tim Burton, Directed this film with such taste and style. I am very big fan of his work. ( BeetleJuice and Sleepy Hollow ) Everytime I see a Tim Burton film I know I am in for a treat and I also know it is, " WORTH THE MONEY ! "
Johnny Depp, ( A Nightmare on Elm Street and Sleepy Hollow ) plays the nortorious demon barber from Fleet street. The plot outline, Sweeney Todd sets up his old barber shop above a meat pie shop. Looking for revenge, he kills off the people who are responable for a certain beloved's death and disposes the body's to a certain shop below. Which to all suprises, generates better Biz for the meat pie owner. HELLO CANNIBALS ! AT THE VERY BEST !
If I knew the words to the lyrics to this show, I would have been singing and dancing like the fruit that I am. LOL Stellar proformances by all the cast. I got to see this with a friend who loves Broadway plays and he even said, it was very delightful. Unlike the others, one had Ben Kingsley. Which was released in 1998. It was made for TV and it was directed by John Schlesinger.
This one had very little to do with a back story and no motive for the Demon Barber, which does not give the audience what they want. No singing, just something watered down. Like most people, I like to know why characters do the things they do. If you read reviews for this film you see why it was such a disappointing movie. There is no comparison.
Back to the Burton Film, like I said before for those who have never seen the Play. Rent this one, worth the time and the music is wonderful. Now even though I never seen the play. I know now that I would love to see this in production. Knowing You and I, would be singing down the rows, GOT TO EAT MRS. LOVETT ' S MEAT PIES ! MRS. LOVETT ' S MEAT PIES !
