"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it!"~Sweeney Todd~
Watched the latest adaptation of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street yesterday night. Yep, I'm a bit outdated. Being stuck here in Adelaide does that to me. A very impressive performance considering most of the cast are not professional singers. As always, Johnny Depp never ceases to amaze me. He is in every part the malevolent, tortured, vengeful barber who seeks retribution in a world where man devours man. No matter what role he plays, Johnny still exudes that unique charm. Omigosh he's soo hot... And having him play a singing sociopath just makes him hotter! *swoons* The ending was so ironic and sad, yet kinda fitting. Sad to see that in this cruel world, even the kind and virtuous are robbed of happiness, beauty and love. Break them enough, even ordinary people can be driven insane with grief and vengeance. This is my kind of movie. A macabre combination of horror, romance and musical. Artfully woven together to form a brutal, heart-wrenching climax. Yet another Tim Burton masterpiece!
