A visit to the production line of human meat pie---a short review of "Barber Todd"

Xiao Nian Ye watched this play, it was a bit weird.

Shamber Burton mixed a lot of red into the black humor this time, and the effect was even worse.

The plot is basically the Western version of "Madman's Diary" and "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Buns", which fully demonstrates that both the East and the West have a thorough understanding of human nature. In London at the end of the 19th century, it looked like a hell on earth. Priests, judges, lawyers, small officials, etc., could kill and eat without guilt.

"As you can see from the cracks, there are two characters written in the book "cannibalism"", so the barber and his landlord unscrupulously killed, boiled, and eaten. It is not recommended to watch it during the Chinese New Year. .

However, if asked me if I liked, like why look at these names: Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, the two men alone, are worth seeing what the film; Sacha Baron Cohen, while back just watched him play!? Paula, I have absolute confidence in him; Helena Bonham Carter, Shaved Mburton’s friend and strong; Timothy Spall, is also a stage play veteran. With Shaved Mburton at the helm, the atmosphere is extremely evil, and there is a little hope of reunion. No, how can I not like it? I

haven't seen the stage version of this musical, and there is no comparison. Judging from my limited musical experience, "Sweeney Todd" should be quite different. Of course, the singing skills of the movie version should not be as good as the stage plays, but they are all competent in singing. The acting is even more innocent. The best are Helena and Alan. Thanks to Helena's black humor and black gentleness, this film did not degenerate into an accusation and violent catharsis of angry youth. Depp's character is very dark, he has been tensed, but I always suspect that Captain Jack Sparrow is hiding behind and laughing, he may twist and twist out at any time. Of course, the look is really cool. I will also dye a lock of white in my black hair in the future, or when I am old, I will dye a lock of black in my white hair.

Several teenagers have outstanding performances. The young sailor actor Jamie Campbell Bower Beautiful and fresh, Toby's actor Ed Sanders also has a good performance. Both are brand new rookies.

A few laughable details: At the beginning of the film, it was a sailing boat sailing into London, Johnn Depp chanting on it, I couldn’t help laughing. Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall played together for the first time, and I thought, Harry Particularly, the opening scene of Book 6 can be omitted, just borrow it. Snape and Wormtail. Also, when will Johnny Depp join the Harry Potter camp? All the top actors in the UK have been run, and he is no exception. He can play Luna's father in Book Seven.

What is the moral of the story? Although society is cannibalistic, hatred can turn people into demons like other scum. Reading Lu Xun's "Madman's Diary" now, I can fully appreciate his anger and sorrow. A person really needs to be angry to get away from anger before he can write such a sentence. One must also be extremely sad to write "The Little Match Girl." It is not easy to be an aspiring and compassionate writer. The proprietress of the human meat pie shop is a simple character, she wants to be good with Todd, and the business in the shop is good. This woman is very cute.

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.
