Seeking the film review of Sweeney Todd

Benjamin Barker (played by Johnny Depp), an Englishman, lives a simple and ordinary life with his wife Luxi and his daughter Joanna. Benjamin is a barber, and his business is good on weekdays, and his family's life is quite happy. However, beauty is always short-lived. Because the local judge coveted Luxi's beauty, he exiled Benjamin Barker on trumped-up charges (charges: stupidity) and then expelled him from Britain. In this way, the fate of Benjamin's family was completely changed ... Many years later, he returned to England and joined hands with the pie shop owner Lavit (played by helena bonham carter) to start a bloody road of revenge ... Finally, Todd killed his wife by mistake, which led to the tragic ending of the film.

Edit the introduction of this story.

The film tells that in Fleet Street, London, barber Benjamin Baker has a beautiful wife and lovely daughter. Erzheng

"Sweeney Todd" stills (20 photos) When he was immersed in all this happiness, the judge took a fancy to Benjamin's wife Lucy. Under the design of Judge Turpin and his accomplice Deacon Bendford, Benjamin was unjustly imprisoned. 15 years later, Benjamin successfully escaped from prison. He returned to Fleet Street, where he once lived happily, with his alias "Swinny Todd" and a young sailor full of hatred, rescued him from prison and jumped into the sea. Downstairs of his former barber shop, Todd met Mrs Lovett, a widow who owned a meat pie shop, and learned from her that the judge could not take Lucy. Lucy committed suicide by taking poison. The judge put Benjamin's daughter Joanna under house arrest in the name of guardianship and planned to marry her when she grew up. With Mrs Lovett's help, Todd found his pure silver razor and rebuilt his barber shop. By comparing with another barber, Pirelli, he approached his enemy, Deacon Benford, who promised to go to Todd's barber shop. When Todd waited impatiently for the arrival of the deacon Bendford, the unsatisfactory Pirelli recognized Todd's silver razor because he was his apprentice and knew Todd's true identity, so he blackmailed him. Todd had to kill him and start Todd's wonderful stills "Todd Barber"

A person's career. Todd couldn't dispose of the body, but Mrs Lovett saw that the pie shop across the street could make cat meat into patties, so she thought of making human flesh into patties. Both of them think that this is a "cannibal society", and their own practices are no different from those of decent gentlemen, so they start their own businesses together. Besides, Mrs Lovett took Toby, a little apprentice abused by Pirelli, and asked him to help in the shop. Judge Pinter came to the barber shop on the recommendation of the deacon, and his unexpected arrival made Todd overjoyed. Just when Todd wanted to kill Pinter and get revenge, Anthony rushed into the barber shop to let Pinter know that Joanna was going to elope. Turpin vowed never to go to Todd's barber shop again and sent Joanna to a mental hospital. Wonderful stills of barber Todd

Todd installed a mechanism on the barber chair. From then on, as long as he killed someone and stepped on the organ, the body would fall into the underground drying room in Lovette. Lovette chopped up the meat there and made it into patties for sale, and business began to flourish. So Lovette, who has always loved Todd, began to consider marrying Todd. Todd, bent on revenge, began to find another way to get revenge. On the one hand, in order to save his daughter, Todd arranged for Anthony to join the madhouse as a wig dealer. On the other hand, he asked Toby to write a letter to the judge, informing Judge Turpin about the sailor's rescue of his daughter, and inducing the judge to come. Todd fired Bendford, the deacon who came to the store to inspect the goods. He saw the deacon go into the barber shop but never came out, so he went upstairs to find the deacon, and Todd moved the crazy woman away again. After Anthony took Joanna out of the madhouse, he put Joanna in Todd's barber shop. Joanna was frightened and hid in the box when the crazy woman rushed into the barber shop. Hearing the voice of Judge Teping, Todd killed the crazy woman at a high speed. After Turpin came up, Todd killed Turpin for shaving. Joanna made a noise and Todd found it. Todd almost killed his daughter together. Fortunately, Lovette's scream drew Todd away. When Todd cleaned up the body, he found that the crazy woman he killed turned out to be his wife, so Todd took it out on lovett and didn't tell his wife that he committed suicide but didn't die, so he pushed Lovette into the barbecue oven. Toby, a coolie who thanked Lovette for saving his life, ended his career as a hairdresser when Todd held his wife in his arms sadly.

Wonderful stills of barber Todd

The soundtrack of this film was made by Stephen Sondheim, who made great contributions to the music industry. At the same time, he also arranged music for 1979 "Crazy Barber Broadway", and created numerous classic musical stage plays and movie songs, among which famous works include Visiting the Forest, West Side Story, After the Rose Dance, Serenade and Spring in the City. His personal works have been affirmed by many awards. Since his debut, 1954 has won an Oscar, a Pulitzer Prize, two Grammy Awards, seven Tony Awards and the Rainbow Medal Lifetime Achievement Award specially set up by Kennedy Cultural Center to praise national treasure artists. At the age of 77, he can be said to be one of the only remaining great songwriters in contemporary American musicals. Stephen's contribution to musicals is almost equal to that of his spiritual mentor. Johnny Depp, in particular, can rarely make a splash in the play because of the need of the plot, performing songs such as My Friend and London Everywhere in the form of opera, and the actors in the whole play will also sing songs created by Stephen Sondheim in the film. There is no place like the worst work in London, poor thing in London, my friend bluebird &; Rinnet bird gives alms to johanna pirelli's miracle medicine contest, waiting for ladies and their sensitive beautiful women to have an epiphany, a little priest johanna God, this is good!

A brief review of movies

Wonderful stills of barber Todd

Sweeney Todd is adapted from the Broadway Tony Award-winning musical of the same name. The prototype of the hairdresser in the play is a "serial killer" who once appeared in London (it is said that the bodies of the people he killed can be piled on the ceiling ...), together with a strong lineup of directors (tim burton) and actors (Johnny Depp), which has attracted much attention. We can still remember Edward Scissorhands' funny style more than ten years ago. This time, when director tim burton took over the film, he specified that Johnny Depp must play Todd, which showed us a new spark between the old groups. Just because black heart in the role of Todd doesn't have many funny performances by Johnny Depp in this film, there is only a short performance in the fantasy that widow Lovette marries Todd. Satchell Baron Cohen plays Pirelli, a barber. Although there are not many scenes, there are many effects that make people laugh. I have to mention helena bonham carter who plays the widow Lovette. As the owner of the meat pie shop and a supporter of Lucy's rival Todd, she performed very well in all aspects. The whole movie is dominated by gray with bright red blood, which reflects the dark psychology of gentleman Todd. It continues the opera expression of Broadway. Although the singing skill is average, the combination of the beating of the hammer and the flying of the razor makes the picture closely combined with the music, which is refreshing. The film continues the tradition that European and American thrillers only rely on bloody pictures to scare people, which greatly reduces the horror of the film and is suitable for all ages. However, he is still very careful in depicting the details of the characters. Todd's gray and gloomy face, black eyes, and a wisp of white hair in his unkempt hair exudes the devil's breath; Lovette's eyes changed from bitterness to happiness, which conveyed the whole process of her life expectation change. Many places in the film set the stage for the development of the plot. For example, Lovette complained about the high price of meat (it is estimated that the CPI at that time was almost the same as now), and some people used cats to make meat stuffing, paving the way for themselves to make meat stuffing with human flesh in the future, making the plot more reasonable. Barber Todd contains many elements of horror, singing and dancing, comedy and love. However, the film is not scary and the singing is not professional. The plot also limits the funny degree of the film. It may be difficult for you to watch Sweeney Todd with an element in mind, but you will find that it is a rare blockbuster in the near future.

media comments

Both singing and dancing are great, and the performance is perfect, but tim burton seems to have misplaced his sense of humor. -"new york Media" is flawless from beginning to end, with horror, grotesque humor and intermittent fright. As for Johnny Depp, he is as good as ever. -Rolling Stone is the most elegant psychopath killer movie in history. -"Northwest Messenger" Burton makes the film fluent and vivid, which is no less than other excellent works (including musicals) released this year. -America-Today's Sweeney Todd is not only a horror film, but also a musical, even close to a masterpiece. -The New York Times

Edit this wonderful tidbit

Anne Hathaway was originally decided to play the role of johanna, but director tim burton thought that the role could be played by a completely unknown actor, and he finally chose jayne wisener. The film was originally directed by sam mendes and starred by Russell Crowe. This is the sixth cooperation between Johnny Depp and tim burton, which has been preceded by Edward Scissorhands, Edward D. Wood Jr, Sleepless Valley, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride. Johnny Depp suggested to tim burton that Tom Becker should play the ghost. For this film, helena bonham carter not only specially trained his English pronunciation, but also learned to bake. Annette bening and Toni Collette were both very vocal when they played Mrs Lovett, but they both lost to helena bonham carter in the end. In the first month of filming in London, Johnny Depp had to leave 10, and his daughter Lily Ross was taken to the hospital because of a serious illness. In order to alleviate the delayed progress, director tim burton selected some unnecessary John.

Barber Todd premiered (20 photos) The scene of NiDepp was shot for the first time. In order to fully prepare for the role of Adolf Pirelli, Sasha Byron Cohen specially hired his hairdresser as a guide to teach him haircut skills, and spent 16 hours learning how to control the razor freely. Meryl Streep, Cyndi Lauper and emma thompson are all considered to play Mrs Lovett. Christopher lee was supposed to play one of the ghosts because he had professional vocal training. However, due to several revisions of the script, christopher lee had to give up this role. Under the pseudonym of "skunk", it was transported to major theaters. This film intercepts several songs from Broadway musicals, but omits the chorus. At the beginning of filming, there was a scene in which the ghost who died at the hands of Swinny Todd sang "The Ballad of Barber Todd". In addition to the aforementioned christopher lee, Anthony Head also played ghosts, but tim burton later deleted these songs because he thought they were too dramatic for movies. When Mrs Lovett invited Toby, the little boy, to eat meat pie for the first time, he took a few bites at first, and only half of the meat pie was left. But when the camera cuts to Mrs Lovett's speech and then cuts back, the patty obviously becomes a small piece. When Mrs Lovett and Todd decided to use human flesh as stuffing in the meat pie shop, they danced in the song. At first, Todd put his hand on Mrs Lovett's waist, but after the camera switch, Todd put his hand on Mrs Lovett's shoulder.

Edit this paragraph and look back at Todd in 200 years.

Barber Todd first appeared in Thomas prester's horror novel A String of Pearls: A Romantic History of 1846. George Dutin Pitt produced the musical "Barber Todd: The Devil in Fleet Street" with Todd as the protagonist, which was a great success in Britain. The film version of Sweeney Todd came out in 1926, and so far more than 10 films have been adapted from it, including the TV series 1 just released by BBC this year. 1973, Christopher Bond moved it to the Royal Theatre in Stratford, England, which was a sensation and lasted for a long time. 1979, Sweeney Todd landed in American cinema for the first time, showing its crazy charm. Broadway Boiling, which won eight Tony Awards, has been shown continuously for 16 months. The story of Sweeney Todd has long been a legend used by adults to scare disobedient children. Many people don't know whether it is a true story or a complete fabrication. The real barber Todd really existed in London at the end of 18, and he killed countless people. The victim's meat was taken down and sent to the famous Mrs. Lovett's meat pie shop in London at that time and sold to Londoners. Still fresh bones were abandoned in the forgotten tomb in the basement of the old church St. Dunstan, and there were so many bones that they could be piled from the floor to the vault of the tomb. The disgusting rancid smell of the meat left on the bones filled the whole church. Todd the Barber and lovett the Black Widow were killed when they showed their deepest fears to others. And the delicious food I just tasted turned out to be the bodies of the same kind. But there is no record of this person in the court file, and there is no record of this person in the new prison calendar. The entry atlas more atlas barber Todd poster (6)
