I insisted on reading "Sweeney Todd" last night, and the ending touched the sensitive nerves of my women. When Todd, who was dripping with blood and solidified into a seated figure, embraced his mad wife who had his throat cut, green smoke came out from the baking oven behind them, and it was Lovett's heart that turned to ashes... Among a group of lunatics, he suddenly felt like he was once alike. Lovett, like her, turned into a blue smoke, and like her, she has never been seen.
The beautiful and bright dream of the black widow by the sea is the weakness of that woman. Like the men who have been shaved, she surrenders her life in Todd's hands...Ah, thanks for the electric razor, thanks for the infinite enlightenment and strength in troubled times. .
