The Bloody Musical!

           Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street wasnt really a musical but I thought that was a catchy title. This movie was very good the back story to it was deep. A movie filled with songs and great imagery and a great angle to make the viewer see something and not even realize it, in the core of this movie Benjamin Barker is accused of a crime by judge Turpin and exhiled from his love of his life and wife Lucy and daughter Johanna. Benjamin Barker comes back 15 years later and seeks revenge. the lesson I recieved from the movie was that seeking Revenge only brings destruction. Being focused with the bad things in life only brings badness on themselves.
        Benjamin returns to London and meets Mrs. Lovett a widow that owns a bakery. Benjamin is told that his wife Lucy commited suicide with poison and judge Turpin has Johanna, so he decides to become Sweeney Todd and extract his revenge on judge Turpin, the funniest song is when Sweeney gets his razors and is singing about them being his best friends. this movie is filled with songs and funny ways to keep the viewer watching. I thought the director and cast did a very good job. I realized soon that this movie was so good because it was so wierd, most of Johnny Depp's movies are so good because of the wierdness. Anyways, the story goes on as Sweeney kills people comeing in for a shave and sends them down this shoot that then Mrs. Lovett cooks them up into her cakes. I dont want to tell all the details and ruin it for someone that might read this and have never seen the movie but just know it was a good one.
           At the end Sweeney was so caught up with revenge that he was blind to his own wife standing right infront of him, he had just killed judge Turpin and this peasant lady was in his barber and she says "dont i recognize you" then BAM Sweeney cuts her throut...sad. He then hears a noise and finds a boy (actually his daughter dressed as a boy) in his trunk he gets Johanna to sit in his chair and he is just about to kill her when he hears something, he exits saying "pardon my face" haha crazy. he goes down to the cellar where they cook the people and finds Mrs. Lovett they say stuff and then he realizes she lied to him about his wife dieing. Sweeney thinks she told him she died but Mrs. Lovett said she commited suicide never died. Sweeney then throws her in the furnace and she burns to death. ironic because she baked people into her cakes/pies and now she was being cooked. Sweeney realizes the peasant was his wife and he is kneeling next to her as Tobby ( Mrs. Lovetts assistant, basically like her son) cutts Sweeney Todds throut. such a crazy movie that shows us not to seek revenge, the sadness of revenge is it just destroys anything you value, you become obsessed and blind, and in the end it leaves nothing.
