Sweeney Todd













After being sent away by Judge Turpin, Sweeney Todd a.k.a Benjamin Barker returns to London with the help of a sailor, Anthony Hope. He opens a barber shop above Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie Shop, where she sells "the worst pies in London." With the help of Mrs. Lovett, Todd means to rid London of the corrupt aristocracy, and hopes to be reunited with his daughter, Johanna, who is now Judge Turpin's ward. Written by Anonymous
After hard years in exile for a crime he didn't commit, Benjamin Barker now Sweeney Todd, returns to London to find his wife dead and his daughter in the hands of the evil Judge Turpin. In his anger, Sweeney goes on a murderous rampage on all London, with the help of Mrs. Lovett, he opens a barber shop in which he lures his victims in with a charming smile before casually ending their life with a flick of his razor across their neck. But not one man killed, nor ten thousands men can satisfy Sweeney's lust for revenge on those who've caused his years of pain. Written by O.G.
In the Victorian London, the barber Benjamin Barker is married with the gorgeous Lucy and they have a lovely child, Johanna. The beauty of Lucy attracts the attention of the corrupt Judge Turpin that falsely accuses the barber of a crime that he had not committed and abuses of Lucy later. After fifteen years in exile, Benjamin returns to London under the new identity of Sweeney Todd, seeking revenge against Turpin. Sweeney Todd meets the widow Mrs. Lovett and owner of a meat pie shop that tells him that Lucy committed suicide with arsenic many years ago, and Turpin assigned himself as tutor of Johanna. He opens a barber shop above her store, initiating a crime rampage against those that made him suffer and lose his beloved family. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


First picture- Character name: Anthony, real name Jamie Campbell Bower. He annoys me in the movie because he walks in as Sweeney Todd is about to slit Judge Turpin's neck and ruins everything. I don't like him much in the movie, but he does do one good thing. (You'll have to watch it)
Second picture- Character name: Judge Turpin, real name Alan Rickman. He's nasty, he weird, and he's cruel. He makes the movie.
Third picture- Character name: Beadle, real name Timothy Spall. He's friends with judge Turpin, Nuf said.
Fourth picture- Character name: Benjamin Barker-Sweeney Todd, real name Johnny Depp. Absolutely amazing!!
Fifth picture- Character name: Mrs. Lovett, real name Helena Bonham Carter, and Tim Burton's wife in real life, the director.
Sixth picture- Character name: Toby, real name Ed Sanders. He has a wonderful singing voice and he is my favorite character. Mrs. Lovett is my second favorite because of he songs.
Seventh picture- Character name: Perelli, real name Sacha Baron Cohen. He's also freaky and weird and sings funny.
I love the songs in this movie, although they easily get stuck in your head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this movie and definitly recommend watching it!
