I enjoyed musical drama since young. Movies like Sound of Music, Mary Poppin and Dancing in the Rain. etc is indeed: classic! Those music + expression are always intriguing. Just watching the actors and actress' singing and putting their emotion into the movie, is really heart melting.
This time around, after The Phantom of Opera; is my fav director and my fav actor, making another master piece together: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street .
I was so surprise when Depp took the challenge to sing. (eventhough he can't really sing well.. haha). But the whole movie, is tragically beautiful. The combination of the monotone b&w +color, is brilliant. The goth style make up and the 18th century fashion, how contrast yet creates the atmosphere. All in all, the movie is bloody, (just see how Depp swing the shaver and cut ppl's throat like chicken, and how the blood spill out like tin of coke after having a hard shake... well... it is quite insane.. haha) and ironically sad. The tag line: Never Forgive, Never Forget, give a clear idea how the story will end.
Anyway, I believe not everyone will love musical drama. But, I believe Burton is a genius when he portrayed the original script in this way. The reborn version of Burton's style is indeed a unique piece and beautiful artwork.
