There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful
A foolish barber and his wife
She was his reason for his life
And she was beautiful, and she was virtuous
And he was naive
There was another man who saw
That she was beautiful
A biased vulture of the law
Who, with a gesture of his claw,
Removed the barber from his plate
And there was nothing to do but wait
And she would fall
So soft! So young!
So lost and oh so beautiful
The cast, which composed of Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Sasha Baron Cohen, and Laura Michelle Kelly, gave a fantastic performance. The actors for Anthony's and Johanna's parts did well but I simply have a distate for their characters. They remind me of Marius and Cosette who I believe are carrying a false notion of love. It's odd to pine for someone you hardly know anything about. It's illogical to hazard yourself for an attachment borne from staring at one another through the window.
Of course, you'd be blind if you miss the famous Tim Burton trademark, a grim and foreboding atmosphere with eerie sets, gothified costumes and make-up, and dim lighting. He made a very bleak London which reflected not only measly state of low class citizens, but also the corruption of man consumed by revenge. I love the visuals of Tim Burton movies!
The songs are infectious! My favorite phrase was 'piss with ink'. It's a shame they failed to include all of them. Some details were also inaccurate, such as the ending. Todd cradling his wife's corpse while dripping blood on her face from his slit throat made a pretty picture but the movie did not show Anthony, Johanna and the constables rush to the bakeshop to find Tobias grinding meat and muttering incoherent strings of words. The thing is, Tobias' insanity (from his discovery of the truth and betrayal by Mrs. Lovette, I think) drove him to kill Todd.
Oh well. Still good. So go! Attend to the tale of Sweeney Todd!
Normally, I wouldn't think twice about watching mushy Jdramas. I can't stand sappy staring scenes with sakura blossoms falling in the background. I had a disgusted look painted on my face while I was watching Hachikuro. A minute longer and I would have clicked on the 'X' button... but they suddenly did a close up on Toma. I have said it before countless times but I will say it again. Toma is the cutest unrequited lover alive! His haircut looks so good. The wait for the first episode of Honey and Clover was worth it. I heart him so. He has taught me the virtue of patience and the true meaning behind the Filipino aphorism, "kapag maikli ang kumot, binti mo'y ibaluktot" or something like that. I find myself resilient lovey dovey scenes in Hachikuro, and moe weirdness from akihabara@deep. They are starting to grow on me, even.
