For this paper we are supposed to write a review of something. We are allowed to choose from anything we would like and write about it. I have chosen to do a movie that I have loved since it came out. Sweeney Todd is a wonderful movie that should be praised for what it is. It is a masterpiece in its own ways. You should by no means believe that it is a happy story with a happy ending like all Hollywood movies. It is a dose of the cruel reality that is this world. A man who has had an insane amount of bad luck goes mad until he hurts the people he loved. The movie is about a man named Benjamin Barker who was a barber. He had a beautiful wife and baby daughter when the judge of London saw that his wife was beautiful. The judge arrests Benjamin Barker falsely, so that he may have his wife. When the judge tries to pursue Benjamin Barker’s wife, and eventually goes too far, she poisons herself. Their daughter, now without parents goes into the care of the judge who adopts her. Fifteen years later Benjamin Barker comes back from his sentence to find that he has no wife or child. He wants to have his revenge on the judge but gets interrupted right before he is about to cut his throat with his barber knives. After this, he goes completely mad and cuts the throat of every man who comes into his barber shop and seems as though they have no relatives. The woman who works downstairs from the barber shop, as a pie maker (Mrs. Lovett), uses the men that he kills for the meat in her pies. After a while, everything seems to fall into place for them, until things go wrong. I won’t ruin the end on a blog, but if you are intent on knowing the end, you can either read my paper, or watch the movie yourself. I would highly recommend watching the movie, but I think that you should all understand what work was put into this film. If you read my paper, I will include many facts of how the movie was made that may help you appreciate the movie even more so. There is an official website for Sweeney Todd which you can get to by clicking on Sweeney Todd, but there is also the ability of making your own movie trailor and this is mine
