Film review!

"Sweenet Todd (the demon barber of Fleet Street)" Film review.


Sweeney Todd is a Musical and is based on a Broadway play. The director of this movie is Tim Burton. The main characters are: Mr. Todd played by Jhonny Depp(Pirates of the caribean) , Mrs. Lovett played by Helena Bonham Carter (Corpse Bride.) .

The story takes place in London, in the 19th century. It's the story of a man, Benjamin Barker, who gets to prison years earlier on false charges by Judge Tupin. The Judge takes advantege of this and keeps the barber's daughter. After a few years Benjamin Barker comes back to London and decides to get revenge. He decides he will kill all who sit in his baber chair until he gets the Judge. From that day on he will no longer be Benjamin Barker but the Demon barber of Fleet Street: Sweeney Todd. During that time he meets Mrs. Lovett, a young woman with economical problems. She falls in love with him and decides to help him with his killing plan. He makes a series of mistakes and finally: dies.

I think Sweeney Todd is one of the best musicals i have ever seen. The movie is filled with suspence and drama. Jhonny Depp interpretates amazingly his character and sings for the first time in any movie. Helena Bonham is an excellent singer and an amazing actress.
