Review of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) by Gabriel L — 25 Jul 2017

Something very special happened today. I realized that in three days, I have seen for the first time two Movies that will stay in my All-time favorites. This week is probably the biggest week for movies of my life. Afeter Fear and Loating in Las Vegas, here Comes Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Both with Johnny Depp, both freaky movies. When I first eared of this movie, and saw the poster, I realized how good could ths be. All Dark and creepy, From Tim Burton, with Johnny Depp. My favorite Director with my favorite Actor in my favorite Style. I can almost tell that I knew from the beginning that I could place this film in "my favorite movies", but it could be disapointing. Actually it wasn't. The Creepieness and the Dark estetic is present, and my favorite Duo is at it's best. This film was very Theatrical (of course), very emotional.

I had quite a problem with Musicals before, I don't know, I just always tought there was nothing worst than starting to sing in the middle of a Drama scene or worst, in a moment of Glory of Joy. But with this film, it really didn't matter, I think if you're following the storry, and you're prepared, the songs just are a part of the Art.
