Sweeney Todd
Movie number two this week: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber From Fleet Street. This time it’s a littlebit hard for me. I am not a musical man. And Sweeney Todd is a musical, a cranky indeed, but still, a musical. Thats why I don’t give points for it. It would be like somebody, who doesn’t like wine rating wine.
But I want to give a brief review. Johnny Depp plays as good as expected, as Nicolson and Freeman, he is among the best actors of his age. Helena Bonham Carter is a great actress too … but most people don’t know her. She played in almost every Tim Burton movie Johnny Depp played too … and she was wonderful playing Marla in Fight Club. Tim Burton is a genius. Nobody understands how to transport emotions and atmosphere by picture as he does.
Well, that’s it. If you like musicals and weird movies about serial killers, go for Sweeney Todd.
