It's not good to be a fool!

Why don't many idiots understand the merits of this movie? Because they didn't know that this movie turned out to be a Broadway opera. As an opera, singing is the soul. Without singing, it would be called a P's opera! Therefore, this tradition has been preserved even after it was turned into a movie. Depp gave a rare try and sang very high, and I listened very high too.
The background of the whole plot is gray, dark, and murderous, so the blood is particularly dazzling in the picture. The same picture sense can be referred to "Sin City", giving people a very depressed and masochistic feeling. But think about it carefully, what was it that forced Todd to be mentally deformed? Is it just the judge who covets his wife's beauty? Do not! It's those chaotic times and an unfair justice system that we need to master.
The last thing I want to say is that Joanna is very beautiful, I like it~
