As what I have expected, Johnny Depp would play yet another weird character. From being Edward Scissor Hands to being Ichabod Crane in the movie Sleepy Hollows to being the psychotic killer and has an alter-ego Mort Rainey in the movie Secret Window and also being our favourite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, comes another amazing and unique role as Johnny Depp plays the character of Sweeney Todd, the demon barber who slits the throats of his costumers and makes meat cakes out of their flesh. Plus the addition of the weird lady who owns the bakery Mrs. Lovett, which was portrayed by Helena Carter, makes the movie more interesting and a bit disturbing.
Sweeney Todd was once an average barber married to a beautiful woman, had a beautiful child and lived a normal life until the mayor of the town wanted to separate Sweeney Todd and his wife because the mayor wants her for himself. When the mayor was successful in his plans, Sweeney Todd got separated from his family and he was sent to another place afterwards. That event pushed Sweeney Todd to return to his hometown and avenge his family. He then decided to go to Mrs. Loveen's place and made a barber shop there. This is the part where it gets interesting. Every costumer of Sweeney Todd never made it out of the barbershop alive because their throats were slit and they have some configurations on the chair which makes it drop the bodies to a hole directed to the underground of the building where they make their meat cakes. That's just the beginning of the movie but I'm not here to make a summary or something about the movie so I'll just end to that part.
My experience with the movie was really awesome because it was the first time that I enjoyed a movie like that, which was a musical, and didn't think of myself being gay in enjoying that. I enjoyed it more because I was with a girl who I always wanted to date for like a year or so. I guess this was the main reason why I enjoyed watching this film. And all the gore and stuff made her come closer to me and held my hand because it was too much to handle for her, I guess. So for the guys out there, I recommend you to watch gory films or horror rather than those romantic films with the hunky guys because girls would just talk about those guys and how they want to be the girl and how lucky the girl was because the guy was like this and that. That would like suck a lot, wouldn't it?
Now let's go back to my movie experience. The story is not really that clear and I wonder why no one looked for the guys who were "meat caked". But even though the movie's story is not that awesome, Johnny Depp, who is one of my favourite actors, portrayed Sweeney Todd so I liked it overall. The movie is really fun to watch and I recommend this movie to everyone, specially to guys who's like to spend some time with a girl and no need to add more details. **laughs**
