Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is one of those movies that we could call “one f it’s kind”. It is a musical, horror and also gothic story. No one else but Tim Burtin himself constructed unique view of 19 th century London with all its dark alleys, common problems and social unrest. Vision of the demon barber himself is more than just a story. It is another movie where the magic vetween Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is visible in every single scene. Those two guys probably understand each other without any words at all. Johnny is in my opinion one of the most talented actor of twenty and twenty first century and with this role he shows that there is nothing he could not play. Acting is very strong part of the movie, I supposed that Helena Bonham-Carter was born to play her part here.
The visual side of the movie is trully amazing. The London is so dark and sweaty that we can’t doubt that what we see is really “that London”. The story is a classic so there is no point of spoiling the fun of watching newest adaptation.
One thing that makes all of this taste bad was a way the movie was advertised across the world. From trailers people could think that they will get another bloody horror with corpses and body parts flying around. They could feel dissapointed seeing Johny Depp singing the whole movie. I guess that someone just wanted to earn more money from this piece of art and that is why many people were just misinformed.
