Johnny Depp will cooperate with the dark geek director tim burton for the sixth time, and the first poster of Barber Todd is exposed. The smirked "Captain Jack" finally returns to the gloomy nature, and his costume is also dressed as a bohemian pirate. "Barber Todd" is adapted from the famous Broadway black stage play with the same name. The story is based on the real story in the 18th century. Johnny Depp plays the unjustly imprisoned barber Todd in the film. Injustice and prison life have planted the seeds of hatred in his heart. After he escaped from prison, he reopened a barber shop to make a living. This shop was actually a killing ground for Todd's revenge: he would cut the throats of his guests with a razor when they were in a daze. Musical was famous for its scary plot and weird and horrible consciousness when it was staged on Broadway, and its music and stage effect were also first-class, and it won eight Tony Awards. This cruel and mysterious theme has always been tim burton's favorite. He said, "I have always wanted to make a musical, and Sweeney Todd is just to my taste. Stephen Santan (the songwriter of musical) mixed humor, tenderness and horror just right, which deeply attracted me. " Stephen Santander is also very excited about his work being adapted into a film: "Sometimes a story or a stage work takes a long time to wait for the right person to put it on the screen. Now I am both excited and confident that Sweeney Todd can become an amazing and excellent film." "Sweeney Todd" continues tim burton's consistent principle of employing people. Johnny Depp once again co-stars with Burton's girlfriend Helena Bonham, who plays the owner of the meat pie shop next door to Todd. She not only secretly loves Todd, but also kills 2 people with her unwittingly accomplice. The actors not only have to perform, but also show their voices in the film, and interpret all the classic tracks of Stephen Santan. The singing skills of Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean are worthy of fans' expectation.
Introduction to Edward Scissorhands
Edward Scissorhands directed by tim burton is a modern fairy tale about robots. It tells the story of an inventor who lived in an old castle, made all kinds of things, and finally made a robot and named him Edward. The inventor devoted all his efforts to this work. He even taught Edward human manners and poetry, when to smile and when to be silent. However, before the robot was finally completed, the inventor died, leaving Edward, who had human mind but left a pair of scissors hands, to live alone in the castle. I don't know how many years passed, a middle-aged woman named Peg, who sells cosmetics, accidentally broke into the castle and found Edward with a strange image. The kind Peg was not frightened by Edward's pale complexion and bared hands, but pitied his loneliness and took him back to his home.
Peg lives in a small community with bright colors, and all the female neighbors like flirting, prying and gossiping. Edward's appearance added fresh excitement to their bored lives, so everyone showed great friendliness and even intimacy to him. When he showed his talent of pruning plants and designing hairstyles with scissors, the whole town was almost crazy about him and regarded him as a star-like darling. But he also has his own pain, that is, falling in love with Peg's daughter, beautiful and unique gold. Kim already has a boyfriend, and she has always been resistant to this new member of the family. For one of Kim's requests, Edward bravely sneaked into Kim's boyfriend's father's mansion, but he did not reveal the truth after being arrested by the police, for fear of implicating his sweetheart. Although he was released soon because of his "inability to judge right and wrong", people around him regarded him as a dangerous person who deliberately robbed property and kept him and Peg's family at a distance. In this process, Kim gradually saw her boyfriend's ugly face, broke with him, and became fond of Edward.
