This time Tim Burton still didn't let me down. Gothic from start to finish has a panoramic view. The cheeks are pale, the eye sockets are sunken, the eyes are dark, the hair is messy, the dark street sky and the characters' clothes. The only bright thing is the bright red blood flowing out of the gurgling.
What surprised me more is that this is an opera. Sing slowly in the terrifying and dark streets of London.
If I can't fly, I'll sing.
I'll steal you, Johanna.
Carelessly sing about people of different identities, priests, poets, tramps, royal navy, squires, lawyers, grocers, dudes, shepherds People, politicians, monks, actors. I'm just talking about their perhaps different taste, the taste of meat, the taste of freshly baked meatloaf.
This reminds me of Li Bihua's "Ren Tou Barbecued Pork Bun". It is also a story of cannibalism. In the context of a horrible story, you can sing a gorgeous and beautiful opera, which is really delightful.
It's still revenge. The story is a bit old-fashioned and a bit thin, I admit, but the grotesque and neurotic atmosphere makes people feel that it is not a fixed routine, and it will be annoying. At least, listening to the cheerful singing of Mrs. Lavitt sometimes slightly ridiculous , Can really make people feel a special kind of invigoration. The song itself also increases the thickness of the movie, making the story and characters more full.
It seems that this way of singing has been reflected in some of Tim's previous works, such as "Zombie Bride", "The Nightmare Before Christmas", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and so on. It's just that this time I sang heartily and heartily on a large scale.
Because of hatred and love for his wife and daughter, Todd finally embarked on a perverted path of unreasonable murder. The process of killing seemed so relaxed and comfortable. Just as he sang his thoughts of his wife and daughter over and over again, the sacrifices were forced to spew out the blood of the aorta, the red blood, which really made people feel like they were watching. Excitement. Sometimes killing is also an art.
The hero and heroine this time are still Tim's queen actor Johnny Depp and his wife Helena Carter. Not only did these two perform well, but they did not expect to sing so well. Very promising ~ 19 of the passages include solo, duet, round singing, etc. Singing plays a profound role in the performance of the film, and the appearance of each passage is also the best way for a character to express emotions.
Of course, in addition to the darkness itself, Tim still adopted his usual style-witty and brisk humor. This is reflected in the new life that Mrs. Lavitt imagined starting with Todd, and the film suddenly escaped from the dull and depressing atmosphere. , Flying to the sea, sunny beaches and blue sky, Tao Deyi is the somber expression, and our dear Mrs. Lavitt, who can make delicious human meat pie, has the aura of happiness of a little woman, she retreats from her black velvet skirt , I changed into Shanghai blue and light pink long dresses, and finally put on a white wedding dress and said "I do" shyly. She loves Todd, but she loves too much, so she is also stupid.
It is worth mentioning that when watching the movie, I heard some clues from the voice of the actors-this time Tim used powerful Slytherins. For example, the judge is Professor Snape, the judge's attendant is Wormtail, and Helena is the older sister Bella Crist who solved Sirius by herself! Ha ha!
Finally, I'm really dizzy...the bloody...
