"Sweeney Todd", I don't understand why I watched it on a whim.

In fact, I'm not particularly a fan of Mr. Depp, who is red and purple now, and I even watched an episode of "Caribbean Island" when it was broadcast in my high school class. However, I saw a video of Depp at the Oscars on the Internet. He wore a pair of glasses, and when the camera shot him, he bowed his head shyly and smiled shyly, and I suddenly felt, wow, So charming.

But this movie has nothing to say. Anyway, people who are not dizzy can watch it, the music is very good, especially Depp, his singing is really good, I like the aria where he transitions from just wanting revenge to a perverted murderer. The other jokes are also pretty good, so I actually want to listen to this movie again, but not watch it.

I don't know if Burton's films are all about atmosphere and less plot (judging from his other "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" that I've seen, it is), I don't think the plot of this movie makes sense. For example, it is not clear why Depp changed from hating "Professor Snape" to hating the whole society. It is not enough to simply use the first revenge without success; he also killed his wife; and Why didn't he kill his daughter, "Sister Sirius" called out, and he didn't have time to kill the last witness.

If this movie wants to have a flower name, I think "Slytherin Biography" is very suitable. The female No. 1 is played by Sirius' sister (it is said that she is the director's wife, and the director has her in every film, but This is not a shallow rule); the first male villain is played by Professor Snape, and the second male villain is played by Peter Pettigrew. The entire Slytherin Association. When I watched Harry Potter, I thought it was very talented how the actor who played Professor Snape simulated this tone of voice. Only now did I find out that he himself said so...

This director, Burton, is said to be the boss of the "Gothic". I don't understand what "Gothic" means, so let's just interpret it as the atmosphere of Burton's films. What I think is great about him is that he can make all kinds of stories into this kind of spooky look. You said that "Sweeney Todd" itself is a murderous story and it's a bit bloody, and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", what a fairy tale, can be made like that by him. When I first watched that film, I didn't know who Bolton was or Wang Card was Depp, but it was inexplicable, and I felt a chill down my spine, and I felt very scared, but the picture was so gorgeous and Wang Card was so nervous, I was Can't seem to sleep at night. In this sense, it is also a thriller.

Finally, let's talk about Mr. Depp, I have watched several of his films and some of his own videos, but I always feel that every time he appears, he looks different, and it is the kind of difference that is not recognizable at all, you say If no one tells you, can you think that Todd and Wang Ka are the same person, as well as Captain Jack, and even the prodigal son in "Chocolate", everyone looks too different! ! ! I looked at Wang Card again last night, but I still can't admit that this is Depp... All

I can say is that Mr. Depp is really malleable.
