Trailer:


E ecranizarea unui musical de succes de pe Broadway, Johnny Depp si Helena Bonham Carter jucand/cantand exceptional. Mie personal nu-mi plac musicalurile, chiar deloc. Pana la jumatatea filmului am avut tentativa de a-l opri de cel putin 10 ori.
"Never forget. Never forgive". Asta e motto-ul si pe baza lui se contureaza si povestea. Benjamin Barker aka Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp) se intoarce in Londra dupa un exil de 15 ani ordonat de judecatorul Turpin (Alan Rickman). Bine-nteles vrea sa se razbune, si, cu ajutorul doamnei Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) infiinteaza o barbierie unde, ghidat de ura isi perfectioneaza skill-ul de ucigas.
Este un musical macabru si asta mi-a placut. Un musical in care vezi multe crime sangeroase, putina perversiune dar suficienta pentru a frapa si un canibalism care-ti taie rasuflarea :D. Si pentru ca imaginea sa fie completa, vizualul are un efect puternic: o Londra gotica, filmata in negru-gri-albastrui cu note sangerii. Impresionant este felul in care asemenea scene de cruzime au fost atenuate datorita cantatului. no...nu mai stiu
