Hmm.. weird movie.. singing musical while slitting throat.. theres also this dark theme in the movie.. not a movie for those who dun appreciate art. Johnny Depp plays Benjamin Barker, a "naive" barber who was framed by local judge who was jealous of his wife and family.. Affairs of the love, i guess. When the wife poisoned herself due to tis, the judge then proceeded to "adopt" barker's daughters as his own. =S
When Barker finally escaped frm the jail term, he came back as a vengeful devilish barber using the alias Sweeney Todd. He den put up back in his old home at fleet street abv Mrs Lovette's meat pie shop. This mrs lovette happens to haf a "crush" of some sort on barker last time.. So, barker/todd used her as his pawn as well as a "reason" in his quest for vengence.
They killed many in the show, unsurprising given the "bloody" introduction of the movie.. the meat of those who died, are made into meat pies. O.o well.. in e end he finally got his revenge on the judge... after massive killings.. but he oso ended up killing his wife (who didnt actually die from the suicide attempt) and getting his own throat slit.. Weird ending.. but okay lar... nt bad a movie..
