Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street


Johnny Depp in musical film.. his performance is great as 'sweeny todd' especially his eye which is full of revenge and hate, his singing skill was impressive too..




This is Johnny Depp, his sixth collaboration with director Tim Burton. It won the award for Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) and Johnny Depp won Best Actor (Comedy or Musical) as Sweent Todd at the at the 65th Golden Globe Awards.. congratulation!!

Before i go for the show i wouldn't know it is a musical film, i just thought it is another horror movie by Johnny Depp which he used to played this kind of role in his previous movies directed by Tim Burton. actually it is a broadway musical theatre which opened in 1979 in Uris Theatre in New York. check this out for more informations about the theatre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd_(musical)

Back to the movie.. as what i have expected in the whole movie the sky is very dark(no sunny day) and always lot of water on the street and rats running here and there.. the singing parts of the actors in the movie are quite impressing especially Johnny Depp and the main actress Helena Bonham Carter, the lyric of the songs really able to deliver what in their mind and express their feeling.. the image and custome are quite unique too, i like the hair style of Johnny Depp which really look cool..

Overall, i quite enjoy the movie.. beside the cutting throat parts which are quite irritating.. especially the final part, blood are like a river.. Johnny Depp performance are always great, i like his eye, really full of revenge and so damn scary, the main actress was cool too.. she really can deleiver her loneliness and her love to Johnny Depp in her songs and eye..

I am sure some of you may like the movie as me, but some may feel it boring or horror as like my fren who went for the movie along with me.. but i still recommended this movie to you guys bcuz it is a good musical show with great actors..
