Tim Burton met the real Vincent, Johnny Depp, years after filming Vincent.
I always feel that Burton's films and Depp's aura are amazingly consistent, dark and depressing, showing the charm of the gothic style to the extreme, like a high concentration of heroin, which makes people addicted.
In the city of London shrouded in darkness, there are rats running around in the streets, and the despair that pervades the air is overwhelming. Dirty and greed have taken over beauty and oppressed kindness. But there's no place like London, Todd said.
As if they didn't think the taste was enough, they hired Helena to be the female lead in "Sweeney Todd". I always felt that Helena was like a female version of Depp, crazy, ghostly, with thick dark circles, messy red hair, like a poppy flower, burning very coquettishly, but it was the most terrifying flower.
Uh... Suddenly I found out that Helena is Burton's wife, well, not from the same family, not into the house.
Helena said she waited 30 years for the role. Yeah, who doesn't love Mrs Lovett?
She's kind, and when Todd starts killing recklessly out of revenge, she rescues poor Tobby, telling Todd that she needs a side job. She is cute, and her biggest dream is to save enough money to go to the beach with Todd to get married, and to invite neighbors over for snacks during the holidays. She was too stupid. She lied to herself from beginning to end and refused to admit that Todd loved Lucy the most. Until the last moment when Todd brutally threw her in front of the stove, she was still fantasizing about marrying that murderer. .
Perhaps it was because of Mrs Lovett that Todd did not become so mad. In Mrs Lovett's fantasy of their future life, Todd wore a cute striped shirt, like an emotional little kid, accompanied Mrs Lovett in a muffled voice The walk, the expressionless nod at the wedding, and that kiss, reluctant, but also lovely.
I always think that Burton should prefer the tone of ancient Greek tragedy. Aristotle once discussed the meaning of tragedy in Poetics. He believed that the purpose of tragedy is to arouse the audience's pity for the characters in the play and the fear of the fickle fate.
I've been wondering if Lucy would have died years ago, if Todd had his hands on the first haircut for the judge, if the goofy sailor hadn't dashed in at such a crucial moment...maybe the story would have been earlier It's over, maybe, Todd and Mrs Lovett can also have a happy ending. Well, the ancient Greek tragedy said that the fate of human beings is fickle, we have no choice but to accept the arrangement of fate.
I have to say, I was amused by such a gloomy movie...Professor Snape and Wormtail actually crossed into this show, but this time the professor's attitude towards Wormtail is not bad~
and Joanna actually After the professor's proposal, he expressed dissatisfaction, and then secretly eloped with a sailor...Professor Snape's proposal, girl, are you stupid? ! Uh... This is just my personal YY, please forgive Snape's brain-damaged fans...
The music in the film is really good, I've watched this film four or five times, and even when I clean up the house, it's still on my computer song. I especially like the passages in which Todd expresses his anger and gloomy mood. Many dissonant notes are sullenly pressing on his heart, which is very distressing, but he can't help listening to it over and over again.
I want to say I don't have a psychopath...just a Burton, Depp, Helena fanboy, hehe.
