Todd's story hints at the end of that era

I was stupid enough to think Todd and Mrs Love had a happy ending.
And so, the almost total annihilation of the epilogue suffocated me.
However, when I watched little Toby pick up the razor and walk towards Todd, I saw a kind of determination and relief in Todd's slightly raised face.
Blood gushed from his throat, and the movie ended in our sighs and grief...
Who would hate this murderer Todd?
Who would not mourn his death?
Our dear Todd, it's just that he was born in the wrong era...
Through Todd's story, what we see is the end of that society.

    It can't be regarded as the best work of Depp and Burton. I am expecting too much, and I am a little disappointed. But Depp's acting skills are impeccable, and the heroine is also very good, not to mention the director, maybe... the problem lies in the script!

    It's bloody... I don't really like horror... Just because I love Johnny Depp and Tim Burton so much... The music is still good~~

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street quotes

  • Sweeney Todd: "Don't I know you?" she said. You knew she lived!

    Mrs. Lovett: I was only thinking of you!

    Sweeney Todd: [angry] You lied to me!

    Mrs. Lovett: [sings] No, no, not lied at all! / No, I never lied!

    Sweeney Todd: [sings] Lucy...

    Mrs. Lovett: Said she took the poison, she did, / Never said that she died. / Poor thing, she lived...

    Sweeney Todd: [in unison] I've come home again...

    Mrs. Lovett: But it left her weak in the head, / All she did for months was just lie there in bed...

    Sweeney Todd: [unison] Lucy...

    Mrs. Lovett: Should've been in hospital, / Wound up in Bedlam instead, / Poor thing!

    Sweeney Todd: [unison] Oh, my God...!

    Mrs. Lovett: Better you should think she was dead. / Yes, I lied 'cause I love you!

    Sweeney Todd: [unison] Lucy!

    Sweeney Todd: [in unison] What have I done?

    Mrs. Lovett: [in unison] I love you! Could that *thing* have cared for you like me?

    [he turns toward Mrs. Lovett in anger]

    Sweeney Todd: Mrs. Lovett, / You're a bloody wonder, / Eminently practical and yet / Appropriate as always. / As you've said repeatedly, / There's little point in dwelling on the past!

    Mrs. Lovett: Do you mean it?

    Sweeney Todd: [in unison] No, come here, my love... / Not a thing to fear, my love...

    Mrs. Lovett: [in unison] Everything I did, / I swear, / I thought / Was only for the best!

    Sweeney Todd: [in unison] What's dead is dead!

    Mrs. Lovett: [in unison] Believe me! Can we still be married?

  • Sweeney Todd: What is that?

    Mrs. Lovett: It's fop, / Finest in the shop. / Or we have shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top. And I've just begun. Here's the politician, so oily it's served on a doily, have one.
