Sweeney Todd
SevenPinkerton:
Captian Zoe (If that is a reference to Firefly, you = awesome), I agree that there should have been more scenes to make sense of Johanna and Anthony's love. I rather hate love-at-first-sight scenes in movies because it really relies only on looks and seems superficial and ridiculous.
I'm probably just thinking too much on it, but what really is the chance Anthony, who has seen the world and is quite intelligent, would have any interest in a psychologically screwed up young girl who has been locked in her room her entire life? Ah well.
captain zoe:
(It's not a reference to Firefly, but I think that show is awesome anyway! :lol:)
Right. The whole love-at-first-sight thing doesn't hold much sway with me, so when I see it in movies it kinda pisses me off. Mostly because it doesn't happen like that in the real world. Though I guess that is the charm and appeal of a movie, after all....
Katherine:
I saw this last night. I liked it a lot, more than I was expecting to. I love musicals but I really wasn't sure that this would be a good movie for bursting randomly into song (even though I know that it is based on a Broadway musical)
Having never seen the actual musical, I can't comment on any changes that were made but I agree that the whole Love-at-first-sight thing was ridiculous.
mooface:
i liked the love-at-first sight aspect to anthony's and joanna's relationship. i thought it added an element of fairy tale innocence - knight sees fair maiden in tower, knight rescues maiden, they live happily ever after- to their love. i thought that their naivite provided a nice contract between them and all the other characters (besides toby) who are all creepy and deranged in some way.
Paav:
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The voices were nothing spectacular but that doesn't matter in a movie, where the recordings can be played with to help the tone and volume. That being said Toby had a very nice voice and really showed it off in "No one will hurt you."
My favorite song was the meat pie song with social commentary broken down by how different professions would taste. That I think would be a fun discussion or maybe a thread, but I'll leave that to someone else since I'm a novice here.
