Sweeney Todd settles back into his old barber shop above the shop of Mrs. patties. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter). They help each other with their business, making the patties case is a thriving business. Sweeney Todd lives however but one thought: revenge on Judge Turpin. Comment
With Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street director Tim Burton delivers cody barker another cody barker special piece of visual design off. His trademark in many movies, or rather art, he has already shown. Think of excellent films such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish and Corpse Bride. In each new film director Tim Burton adds yet another dimension. Similarly with Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber cody barker of Fleet Street, or simply Sweeney Todd. In 1973 Christopher Bond wrote the play Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, based on a 19th century fictional character. In 1979 Stephen Sondheim this play a Broadway musical, which in the same year received a Tony Award for best musical. Of the songs from this musical is especially the song "Not While I'm Around" known, partly because Barbra Streisand record them. Song in her repertoire Sondheim has mederwerking granted to the musical cody barker adaptation of Tim Burton. The songs and lyrics for the film somewhat modified, read shortened. Thus for example many choruses extracted from the songs, for the sake of the film speed. Nevertheless, the pace of the film is rather low. Burton explains a kind of sarcastic undertone in the film version, which also has obvious horror features. Because the blood gushes cody barker in this film. Burton deliberately exaggerated this, though you still look as strange as the throats are cut very explicit in a musical and the bright red blood while richly in all directions syringe. For me, this may be had. Less explicitly This aspect made moreover that it took a while before a movie studio wanted to go into the project. It turned cody barker out Warner Bros. to be willing to explain. (large) budget table For some time working with Tim Burton actor Johnny Depp, who once again plays the leading cody barker role. This he does with his wife Helena Bonham Carter. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter also played all together in Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride. For them, every film Burton also a new experience, because in Sweeney Todd they sing the songs themselves. That both have no great vocal quality, is clear. The songs are there as well as on adjusted. The songs sung fit very well in the special cody barker visual design. As often in filming of musicals are pre-recorded music and songs in the studio. The actors had to initially concentrate fully on singing and acting on the set, accompanied or taking into account that the texts in the game it must remain synchronized. Easy is not, because during the vocal recording you do not know what the situation as an actor on the set will be and how the mise-en-scene will be. You imagine while singing things for which the set can turn out quite differently. cody barker Each character in the film sings his own songs. Similarly, the young Edward Sanders, who Toby, the assistant to the Italian barber cody barker Pirelli and later Mrs. Lovett plays. The songs are not immediately easy to listen to. After multiple viewing and listening sessions, the songs more recognizable and therefore getting better. That makes Sweeney Todd a film that gets better after multiple viewing times.
