Sweeney Todd
30 November 2007
No CommentI am a huge fan of horror movies, however, this new movie Sweeney Todd has gone over the top as far as a horror movie. Sweeney Todd, played by Johnny Depp, used to be called Benjamin Barker before he was deported to Australia by a lustful judge who wanted nothing but his wife. Sweeney Todd makes his way back to Britain intent on getting revenge on the judge who threw him into a time of trial and tribulation. For more on the plot, you will just have to go out to the movie theater and watch it. However, my favorite revenge scene is Mr Todd with the help of Mrs Lovett(his wife), then starts to plot revenge on those that have done him wrong, including the sherrif who imprisoned him. The Sheriff is out for Mrs Lovett, Sweeney Todd’s wife.
Reading up more about the movie online, you can click here to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site, showed me that this was originally made a movie back in the 1920’s. I think it would be great to see that version compared to today’s version. Oh, and don’t forget that this movie has now been officially rated “R” in the United States, so that means use discretion when taking young kids to see it as it has all sorts of sexual references as well as some alcohol references. However, it looks like Sweeney Todd will get his revenge and I cannot wait to see it, can you? Feel free to visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace
