Cinecism of Sweeny Todd

If you are looking forward to an ultimate cruel that enough to make you forget everything in life, just hold your breath , eyes widely open , endure manic heartbeat,  stare at the black, gray and blood red dye all over the screen ; If you need an extreme cruelty into a beautiful , then this symphonic poem is generally Gothic movie is definitely your first choice.

The beginning of the movie, Tim Burton's opening credits in the form of the usual Burton is wisely chosing CG to present whole process of Todd kill people and use it to make meat pie. The song made by Stephen Sondheim match with the bloody screen, create a horrible vision. The black eyes, tightening the brow, with a wisp of white hair disheveled continuation of Tim Burton's style - dark, strange. The characters are invariably shows interspersed with a lot of cut-throat shot, and blood flow all over the floor. It demonstrates the conflicts and repression of Todd’s heart.

I am using "cruel" the word, rather than "brutal." Deep played this gorgeous avenger is not completely heartless. He is lenient when face to man come here with his wife and daughter. Even a little self-deprecating turned backs and do not look that happy nuclear family. On the other hand, he tolerants his own desire for revenge all the time. Every time he talking about the murder that magic name, Joana, the extreme tender create horror emotion. The most horrible thing is not the crazy of his mind, but a clear-headed killer.

This film is a famous fairy-tale film that made for adults watching, it is not a traditional fairy-tale, it consists by the cruel humanity. However, this film reverses the elements that a fairy-tale should be in the past, and also achieve a successful outcome.
