I finally saw Sweeney Todd last night, thanks to an unknown YouTuber, who posted the entire film online, with perfect quality. Excellent! My many thanks to them.
It was an incredibly well done film, with amazing acting and singing, and of course, terrific effects, directing, producing, and atmosphere. However, as expected, it was very bloody and dark.
Basically it’s about a barber (Sweeney Todd) getting his revenge (with help from Mrs. Lovett) on those who wronged him in the past. It’s a lot more complicated than that, but that’s the general idea.
My major props go to Johnny Depp (Todd), Alan Rickman (Turpin), and Bonham Carter (Lovett), who did absolutely stunning work in this. Of course, Tim Burton and Stephen Sondheim must be greatly appreciated as well, since they put this together.
Go see it. NOW.

Haha I may be Finnish, but I’ve lived in English-speaking countries long enough to know that that is a ‘word.’
Yeah, I could see how people might find it too gross! But I loved it too.
