10 years of Tim Burton's dream of a barber

Tim Burton is like a playful kid,
but this kid always likes to wear a black shirt and touch his beard to talk.

He is such a horror movie-watcher.
In his movies, you will see the dark castle vicious. The woman and the first three big aliens,
they fight and frame them, they wear dirty clothes or have crazy behaviors,
but we are never afraid that there is always a bright side behind even the darkest story as he said.
And Tim Behind these fears in the eyes are emotions that are more precious than all the so-called beautiful things that can be seen by the world under the sun. It is not difficult for sensitive audiences to find that he has injected musical elements into this legendary story since

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005
.
Then came the musical cartoon Corpse Bride that was produced at the same time.

When people see Sweeney Todd, a real musical movie, they may say that
after so long, they finally made a musical.

In fact, it is not only Burton's Sweeney Todd of Broadway. It’s love at first sight
as early as 2001. Tim Burton took Helena Bonham Carter
and an Angela Lansbury version of the Todd musical CD to Depp’s house.
At that time, he hadn’t said his plan but just let Depp listen to it. The play must be impressive.
In fact, Burton's Todd plan dates back 10 years ago.
In 2007, he waited until his own right time and place and

Stephen Sondheim, the author of the musical Sweeney Todd.
This time, it is logical to be responsible for all the compilation of the film music. The
original soundtrack album contains 20 paragraphs. In fact, the full version of the opera is far more than the 20 tracks. The
audience and viewing styles determine this musical to a greater extent. It meets the criteria of the movie,
so the relationship between the secondary characters is weakened.
Of course, these secondary characters are beautiful and you sing and sing are inevitably deleted from the script.

If you want to comment on this movie
from the perspective of watching an opera From my personal point of view, it’s like waiting for the Man-Han full-seat

heroine Helena Bonham Carter at a cocktail party to confess that she has always dreamed that she can sing one day,
but in fact she can only hum when she is in the shower at her own house.
So this time she has such a chance. In the preliminary preparations, a personal vocal guide was specially invited to practice the passages in the film.
As for the topic, Depp, who has long been too topical, said carefully in an interview with CNN-
I don't expect the audience to think that I sing how well, as long as I don't Just make my family too embarrassed
(it’s well known that his "wife" is a famous French singer)

Tim Burton makes a film for happiness in order to fulfill his dream,
so whether you like this musical or not, respect his 10-year dream.

    This movie is not here to sell the plot, more than 95%, including me, are all for the singing and dancing of Johnny Depp and Helena. Of course, cutting a throat by the way and making personal meat pie can also attract. Less cult film control.

    It takes a lot of courage to make it into a movie, praise Tim. I brought together the surprise of the first time I listened to the original sound of the musical and the first time I watched the changed version of the TV movie, and decided to give it an extra star. Bold editing and music reconstruction once again proved Tim’s genius

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street quotes

  • Mrs. Lovett: So what are we gonna do about the boy?

    Sweeney Todd: Send him up!

    Mrs. Lovett: No, Mr. T. Surely one's enough for today. Besides, I was thinking of hiring the lad to help me run the shop. Your poor knees aren't what they used to be.

    Sweeney Todd: All right.

    Mrs. Lovett: Of course, we're gonna have to stock up on the gin. Boy's drinking like a sailor.

  • Judge Turpin: I have news for you, my friend. In order to shield her from the evils of this world, I have decided to marry my dear Johanna.

    Beadle: Ah, sir, happy news indeed.

    Judge Turpin: Strange, though, when I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance.

    Beadle: [sings] Excuse me, my lord. / May I request, my lord, / Permission, my lord, to speak? / Forgive me if I suggest, my lord, / You're looking less than your best, my lord, / There's powder upon your vest, my lord, / And stubble upon your cheek. / And ladies, my lord, are weak.

    Judge Turpin: Stubble, you say? Perhaps I am a little overhasty in the morning.

    Beadle: [sings] Fret not though, my lord, / I know a place, my lord, / A barber, my lord, of skill. / Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord, / Some eau de cologne to brace my lord / And musk to enhance the chase, my lord, / You'll dazzle the girl until...

    Judge Turpin: Until?

    Beadle: [sings] She bows to your every will.
