10/4-10/8 Sweeney Todd Demon Barber of Fleet Street

My second favorite movie would have to be Sweeney Todd Demon Barber of Fleet Street. When it comes to movies I love gory or musical ones. This movie is both! Sweeney Todd comes back to London after he left to make a plan to get his wife and daughter back.  His original name was Benjamin Barker, but he had to use a different name to keep himself on the down low. His wife and baby was taken away by Judge Turpin. He goes back to London and opens a barber shop with Ms. Lovett who is a baker. They work together to get her meat pie shop going. He would kill people while he is supposed to be shaving their beards. He then would give the dead bodies to her and she would make the meat pies out of the dead people. No one ever knew their little secret. In the end though, he never gets his wife or daughter back because he gets killed by the one kid that works for Ms. Lovett. He also killed his wife by mistake because he didn’t recognize her. The good thing though is that he was able to kill the judge so he got his revenge. Somehow the music and the killing go so well together.
