Sweeney Todd♥


Hey guys!! Yeah, I know it's been ages since I've posted anything but, life got in the way again!! Well, anyways! Recently, I saw Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and I love it!! I guess you could say it's my obsession. It's a bit sad for me to be obsessed with a musical. But whatever, I love it! When I first saw the commercial for it, I saw Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in it and I got all excited because I love both of them. You know, they really are great actors. Anyways! Once I saw them, I was hooked. For the next few days, I bothered my mom to take me to see it. Then one day, she took me!! I was soooo happy!! She didn't want to take me to see it mainly because she just didn't want to see it, but then after she saw it, she LOVED it. Now, both of us go around the house singing the songs and listening to the soundtrack. It's quite funny actually. Ok, well, the story goes like this; Johnny Depp plays Sweeney Todd and is a barber married to a blond , pretty woman name Lucy. They have a daughter named Joanna and she's only one year old. Judge Turpin, played by Allen Rickman, is the judge of the town, meets Lucy and finds himself in love with her. Well, with him being a judge, he simply `Removed the barber from his plate', meaning he transported him away for life to get to her. Fifteen years later, Sweeney comes back to Fleet Street, London, and meets Mrs. Lovett, played by Helena Bonham Carter, and lives in the room above her shop. Throughout the rest of the movie, Sweeney tries to `Give Turpin a shave' meaning to kill him with his razors, and find Lucy and the now fifteen year old Joanna, who has been adopted by Turpin. I don't want to give the rest of the movie away, so I'll leave it at that. It's way better then my sad summary and I advise you to watch it. I've already seen it twice and mom said we could go see it again tomorrow!! YAYAAA!! Well, anyways, I hope you go see it and enjoy it as much as I do!! Love you guys!! byee!!!
