In this movie, the director deliberately filled the world with tragedy, turning the razor in Todd's hand into a just ruling. So when we saw this cruel barber killing people, apart from the rapid surging of blood in the body, we could also give birth to a happy feeling, as if when the whole of London was plunged into darkness, the ultimate justice was in control. Todd's hands. This is undoubtedly the success of this script, and perhaps the reason why this legend has been passed down to this day.
We are all small people living in this great world. This world is full of harmony. When facing this world, everyone will feel a little bit insignificant. We endure injustice and oppression. In this classic drama, the author has portrayed such a sad and hateful Todd. He comes from the bottom of society. He has been unfairly and deeply persecuted. However, in the end he fulfilled his long-cherished wish, although the whole story is full of revenge. But when the movie ends, you can't help but sigh for Todd.
When the revenge is over, the final judgment will come. This is the prophecy sung calmly from Todd's mouth at the beginning. It is also the main theme of the story—justice judgment will finally come. It is also in response to our old saying: good is rewarded for good, and evil is rewarded for evil. For Todd's retribution, the person who wrote this story arranged such a sad ending for God.
This is a beautiful film that retains a strong theatrical style. Tim Burton's musical, as always, re-releases the magical and gorgeous colors of the classics.
