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. And its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit, and it goes by the name of London.
@Scifiwriteguy In all reality, you're right. Some critics said his voice was harsh and thin, but that it played in well with the character he was portraying. The songs needed that cracking and breaking of sadness and depression and stuffs. Personally, I loved Alan Rickman's singing. It made me hyperventilate and melt!! XD
i love the fact that Johnny Depp can sing but no one knows or cares cause he plays silly roles in his other movies...although i love him i think they should let him sing a bit in some movies.
Actually, Turpin sent Barker to prison in Austrellia. It was on Devil's Island, so when he ecscaped as Todd, he used a raft. That's when Anthony spied him, and since Anthony was going to London already, and Todd wanted to go, it was just convenient.
ST is such a tragic movie... A man who expects to come home to his wife and child, only to find his wife (presumably) raped and murdered. And then he decides to "save" the lower men and women from tragedy, and "save" the higher-ups from being hated by the lowers. Damn you Anthony, Damn you to hell!
I feel bad for poor Sweeney...he himself said that it was a false charge and he was in it for 15 years. I can't imagine how anyone would feel after that, I don't blame him for craving revenge and it really must have been hell for his hair to turn like that (stress can do that to your hair). Johnny has such a soothing voice, I wonder why he was nervous about how it would turn out.
@KuroiKuroudo Dude you're talking about Sweeney as if he was a real person XD the advantage of being imaginary is that you don't really suffer and don't really care what your hair looks like :PXD
@XxKtlostinmusicx17x Well... it's based on a true story. The original event happened in France, though there are several other historical precedents, making it a kind of urban legend. Sweeney Todd is actually a fictional character that first appeared in The String of Pearls: A Romance, published in a London Penny Dreadful.
You can read all about in a few books, or on wikipedia if you hate libraries.
Is anyone in this movie a good guy? Sweeney's a murderous barber, Ms. Lovett is a canibalistic pie chef, the judge is a lustful bugger, his "Beetle" is just a monster, Toby is a killer, and Anthony steals Joanna and leaves the asylum guy too die. I guess Joanna and Lucy are the only real Heroes, and thier only in the movie for, Maybe, 10 minutes combined.
among johnny depp's many roles in movies directed by tim burton, sweeney is most likely the most darkest character. willy wonka was happy, ichabod crane was wimpy, edward scissorhands was innocent, victor van dort was also wimpy, and ed wood was funny
Poor Sweeney. I guess he realised he couldn't run from his past anymore and decided to take a ship back to London. For all it's violence, a touching story.
@kalo118 We can only assume that once Judge Turpin had him locked up, he was sent to one of the prison colonies, maybe Australia. He refers to "many years" away from London, but not all of it necessarily spent in jail. One assumes that since the memories it holds revolt him so (clear in the script and this ironic song), he likely resisted returning for some time. But in the end he was forced to; he couldn't live with his demons / run from his past, anymore. He knows a dark fate awaits him here.
@MediaFilter yeah, he was sent to Australia. and it mentions (although i can't remember specifically where) that as soon as he got out, he left for London. he didn't waste any time.
he was never running from his past. he came back to London with the intent to find his wife and daughter and serve justice.
@kalo118 But I may be wrong, of course. That's just my interpretation. Because later in the movie he says, "Fifteen years of sweating in a living hell on a false charge. Fifteen years dreaming that I might come home to find a loving wife and child."
There are two musics there: No place like London and The Barber and His Wife
