Synopsis:
Sweeny Todd (Johnny Depp) was Benjamin Barker, a barber who was sent away on false charges by Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), who desired after his beautiful wife. After 15 years, Mr T came back for revenge on the judge, working his way as a barber to achieve his goal. Mrs Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) is his accomplice, stuffing her famous meat pies with the flesh of the victims. Her one-sided love for Mr T ended in her own trajic death.
Review:
Another wonderful collaboration by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp in this gothic masterpiece of revenge and love. The gory ways as Mr T conducted his revenge reflected the cold and ruthless years he suffered away from his love ones. Interesting cameo by Sacha Baron Cohen as a rival barber who became the first and most comical victim. Subsequent victims are equally bloody. Credits to Johnny Depp, as usual, for being so unpredictable and talented. A sad thing that his character is so blinded by revenge that he ignored the love by the people closest to him. Watching Johnny Depp in this show reminded me of Edward Scissorhand. Watch the show if you want to see Johnny Depp and if you do not mind the gory scenes.
Rating:
4/5
