Moreover, concerning the tone, the film held it way better, at least because of the fact that some people with much more experienced ears than yours (although yours do not seem to be good at all because many rhythm problems occurred on the scene which do not bother you at all apparently) worked on this movie to make it perfect.
Seriously, shouldn't the judge or beadle recognize the location? I mean, supposedly they stood outside it looking up at the window at Lucy all that time. And not one of them says, hmm, what a coincidence that there is another barber in this exact location?
i love this but i love that tone alan rickman lends to this scene. aging, and venomous. his usual ichor is so well controlled it really creates vulnerability. this just feels like an old man warbling.
QUESTION: Why are so many people dissing Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd? I seen EVERY Sweeney Todd movie, even one that is older than this play. NONE of the Movies/ Plays are the same. But they are ALL good. I , for one, LOVE the Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. Don't take it in a bad way but, If people think that Burton's Sweeney sucked, than you may be closed minded to all of the diff. ways Sweeney Todd can be told. P.s I hate Johanna in ALL of the Sweeney Todds Lol
It's not that we are particularly closed-minded, merely that we find one version superior to another. I personally dislike Burton's adaption, but that need not mean I despise all who think differently!
This isn't real opera, old guys don't have to be basso profundo all the time. And while we're on the subject of convention being ignored, the male lead (the title role to boot!) is a baritone as well. By the way, I think more contrast should have been made between Todd and the Judge, vocal-wise (i.e. cast Todd as a dramatic baritone and Turpin a bass-baritone. After all, Todd goes up to G flat above the bass clef, which is (for the latter voice) an extremely high note.
@xxkewldudexx Oh what a bunch of hogwash. This was an amazing performance as is. The casting was pure perfection. I've watched this scene many times and love the hell out of it. You have over analyed this clip, BIGTIME! No disrespect intended!
@xxkewldudexx Oh dudexx, usually people go balistic in response to my comment. Thanks for an honest appraisal. Loved when you confessed, "I do that a lot" Anyway,Hearn, what a broadway legend. I saw him play the Italian vintner Tony in Most Happy Fella here in Chicago a few summers ago. Unforgettable.
Thank you for that. People need all the positive reinforcement they can get, and quite frankly, I've been a bit lacking in that regard lately...I suppose we all are sometime. The trick (as I'm learning, just in the nick of time) is to think on the up side as much as one can. Am I right?
@xxkewldudexx Are really only 16? If so you lucky dude! You are seemingly well educated musically. I'm a singer/pianist in Chicago but I trained some in operatic technique. Look up Joel Barry on Tube and watch me sing an Aria, Nessun Dorma. The vid is 13 yrs old. I'm 66 now and have enjoyed my career in music. And yes, I think you're right. Bye Bye
Thank you for the compliment! Some of my musical knowledge (operatic conventions, vocal types, and so on) is from reading a *lot* of books and visiting almost as many websites. Although I do have quite a bit of practical knowledge in there too...one gripe I do have is the fact that the high end of the male vocal range is eluding me so far. It seems like I just need to train more... am I right ?
"Now, then, my friend..." That part sounds cooler all deep, not like Depp's pseudo-rock voice. Though I'll admit his Final Sequence (after he discovers Lucy's body) is awesome especially "What have I done?"
haha Turpin falls asleep, bad idea when getting a shave from Sweeney. Seriously tho, Sweeney should have cut him then, but then there would be no more storyline or struggle for Sweeney, so that would pose a problem. lol
I love the evil smile Sweeney makes as he points to the chest...
