I think from a logical standpoint he couldn't recognise his daughter or wife because they were both disguised by circumstance. But I think metaphorically he could not see them because he was blinded by revenge.
Could be both, it's been years since he's seen either of them, not to mention he believed his wife killed herself, AND he was probably at his breaking point since everything was falling apart
Well, he last saw his daughter when she was a toddler, and she's disguised as a man. That's probably the main reason he didn't recognize her. His wife, on the other hand, you may notice keeps her head down, so Sweeney never really gets a good look at her face until after her throat has been cut.
During the reprise of Johana, if you listen closely to Todd's lyrics, he goes on to say that he'll miss Johanna less and less as every day goes by. He also earlier mentioned that he thinks he'll never see her again. So, he just let himself be consumed by his hatred for Turpin, to the point that she was unrecognizable to him
In his defense, he also hasn't seen Johanna since she was a year old. So he can only wonder what she looked like/what he hoped she looked like. Also, toward the end, he did just kill 2 people in front of her, and she was disguised as a boy who watched the murders happen. He panicked heavily.
The gore was gory, the humor was humoring, the music was musicking lol. This was a great reaction. Honestly I seldom ever find musicals appealing, but this one and Willy Wonka are the ones that I truly do enjoy (crazy polar opposites I know lol). Johnny Depp was amazing, so was Helena and the songs were catchy. Plus that Tim Burton aesthetics brings it all together.
I think that if Sweeney had been in his right mind, he would've seen that was his daughter and wife. But he was consumed by revenge and grief, he couldn't see through it. Everything worked against him to make him believe it was hopeless.
Johnny and Helena (the baker) play in alot of movies together and have great chemistry on film. She is Tim Burton's wife and they are both 2 of Johnny's best friend's still. Even at one point during problems with Amber Turd he lived with them and they comforted him.
I watched this in theaters when it came out. When the judge said he was going to marry Joanna so many people gasped out loud you couldn't hear the next guy's line What I do wish they'd kept from the stage show though is that Joanna is about as crazy as the rest of them, is definitely marrying the first guy she sees as a way out of the judge's house, and is the one to actually shoot the guy at the asylum
Oh yeah, she does a full Juliet I'll marry you on Sunday so I don't end up with my mother's corrupt molester. I have always found Antony and Johanna's story almost as dark as the rest of the musical.
I can imagine that there were many moments when people gasped out loud 😅 - this story contents many disturbing themes, the worst of them being cannibalism. I agree with you that it may be also weird that Johanna just falls in love with a random guy standing on the street and staring at her, but that´s how the original story is, so it would´ve been difficult, if the´ve changed it for the movie version.
@@EternalWishes96 I feel like the rape/incest vibes are worse than the cannibalism, myself. It's a 'sane' and petty evil, one that is much more common in real life. And the dead don't suffer, while the living do.
Musical-Horror Cinematic with cannibalism. Johnny Depp plays the villain protagonist. Phenomenal plot points. Incredible costumes and musical numbers...
I love this movie and I'm so glad you reacted to it. Fun fact: In one of the original Broadway runs of this show, Ms. Lovett was played by Angela Lansbury who voices Ms. Potts in the animated Beauty and the Beast movie! It's so wild to me because those roles are so drastically different. Great reaction!
It’s weird; because I don’t mind Angela Lansbury’s voice in Beauty and the Beast, or in Court Jester, or even in Murder She Wrote, but I can’t stand her voice in Sweeney Todd. I’ll listen to any other Mrs. Lovett but hers.
@@erinesque1889 That's fair. She does make some...choices...with her voice so I def understand. I just think the contrast between those particular characters is interesting. I actually don't like Patti LuPone's Mrs. Lovette either but I know I'm in the minority on that.
This was Johnnys first singing role and it was actually because he was Tim burtons first option but Tim knew he didn’t have a any singing experience and Johnny didn’t want to lip sync like his CryBaby role so he technically said “f it” took some lessons and did his best for this role. AND WELL HE DID🫣🤭
That red lip and bronzey eye Rukiya 😍 Looking great as always! Sweeney Todd's music always gets stuck in my head, like Phantom of the Opera. Mrs. Lovett gets some of the best songs, and the 'by the sea' sequence is adorably depressing. A perfect little reprieve before the dark finale. And I don't know why, but a character screaming their own name at a dramatic moment always gets me. "Benjamin Barker!!!" 🩸🩸🩸
Thank you🥰 I wanted my makeup to match the dark vibe of the movie. The music in this was AMAZING! Everyone's voice blended beautifully with one another. I have to agree, Todd screaming Benjamin Barker at the judge was sooo fun and satisfying to watch!!
Fun fact: when Sweeney stabs the judge’s neck and then slices etc you’ll notice some of the judges’s blood splatters onto the window if you’re watching this movie on it’s cd the cd’s menu shows an outside view of the same window with blood getting splattered on it.
Watching Sweeney Todd with you was lots of fun! You had great comments all along. Poor Sweeney (Benjamin), broken by his years of detention, suffocated by dreams of revenge, could not recognize his wife, and never really looked at her; and while he did look at his daughter, her hair being hidden by the cap, he couldn't see the resemblance. I like that Tim Burton didn't shy away from the gore; just like Sondheim (composer) didn't shy away from the crude lyrics. London back in the 19th century was pretty bleak. The first time I watched it, I was as shocked as you. 😲😨😱
I love when you roast yourself because you are truly hilarious. This is definitely one of Tim Burton's best works. The movie was a wild, chaotic, violent ride.
Roasting myself is one of my greatest skills haha😅. I agree, this was a wild ride and I loved every minute of it!! I haven’t watched a bad Tim Burton movie yet. 🥰
Yes, because after he realized he killed his wife there was literally nothing left. For the crimes he commited he would´ve been executed anyway in the time the movie takes place. Only Johanna is still left, but he´s mentally completely destroyed at the end and I doubt that Johanna would forgive him for what he have done, after she was in the same room with him while he killed two people and was on top of that nearly killed herself by him 😅.
11:01 YES! SOMEONE REALIZED ANTHONY ISN’T A CREEP! This scene is a little different in the stage version, but the same basic idea is portrayed. In the stage version, a merchant is selling birds outside the Judge’s house, and Green Finch and Linnet Bird is directed towards the birds being sold. When Anthony sings the first part of Johanna, he buys a bird and brings it to her as a gift, but then the Judge and Beadle notice him and the Judge calls him impure, before making creepy remarks to Johanna, and the Beadle kills the bird. Then, when he finishes the song, he destroys the cage as a metaphor for freeing her.
Anthony is definitely not a creep, but without that context he comes off as creepy, especially when you consider what happened to her mother and how she was kidnapped as a baby.
By the way if we're heading down this road of Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movies, might I suggest watching Sleepy Hollow? its a good movie, horror btw, although not too scary imo.
I like to imagine (knowing that this is probably not what happened in the original play) Johanna, Anthony and Toby running off together afterwards, getting on the first ship out of London and settling down somewhere either in another city in England (or maybe in France) or settling down somewhere in the country getting job working for some farmer (they can also do with an extra set of hands) with the agreement that they never set foot in London again and only ever talking about what happened occasionally when they're sure that no one can hear them. But more likely Toby will loose that last bit of innocence he had and will grow up tough and angry on the streets but will always have that razor with him to slit throats all over the place. Either way Johanna should never be told that Todd was her father's and that she heard her mothers throat being slit, that will break her.
In the musical's ending, Anthony, Johanna, and two officers found Toby grinding the meat in the bakehouse (he was repeatedly saying "grinding the meat three times") surrounded by the bodies. Most probably he'll end up in jail or an asylum. I'd like to imagine that Johanna is heading down a dark path as well. The movie took much of her character away. In the song "Kiss Me" (not in the film), she was neurotic and clearly just latching on to Anthony to whisk her away from her miserable life even if she "did not know his name". She also shot Mr. Fogg at the asylum. Along with Anthony treating her like an object to steal and putting her on a pedestal, I don't think it'll be a happy marriage if they ever do marry.
I love how the movie keeps shoving the beggar woman back into view but you don't really give her a good look, just like the characters don't. Watching a second time, you want to slap yourself for not realizing it, and that's the mark of an amazing twist. Also! I don't know if anyone pointed out yet but Pirelli is Sacha Baron Cohen, AKA Borat/Ali G/Bruno and a bunch of other characters I'm probably forgetting. Which makes his part even funnier.
Though I LOVE Tim Burton, we need to credit Sondheim for this story and music. The adaptation work on Burton's part is genius and legit the best stage to film adaptation I've seen in a while, him and Sondheim truly are perfect together
@@RukiyaReacts The film left out a great aspect of the musical show, the Greek chorus at beginning, end and at several points during the show. Here's a taste of it: ua-cam.com/video/j8t4Ny39tt8/v-deo.html
I had no idea the song Joanna was from this movie, I still very much love the song, I also love how the voice Johnny used isn't much different from the one he uses for Jack sparrow, so even if you didn't know it was him at first, you could tell once you hear him speak
I believe that when sweeney made the smooth cuts they were for people he didn't know but with the judge and the beedle heck even the dude trying to frame him he wanted their deaths to be excruciating because they had negative impacts in his past or would out him to the judge that's just my theory though
In the musical, Johanna shoe Fogg in the asylum and she was about to swallow poison before her and antonys song “kiss me” and I think it’s really interesting that both in the musical and the movie, in Johannas song “green finch and linnet bird” The dies eraes was used (don’t think I spelled that right lol)
Though Tim did an AMAZING job bringing this into the "movie musical" list, it was a broadway musical first (Recommend seeing the opening as it very well establishes narrative and character as most musicals on stage do). It in itself was adapted from an old movie (I believe) - a black and white film that, if I recall, was more from the young mans POV and he does in fact take Joanna and runs off with her, almost literally, in the final shot of that movie. A great deepdive if you are interested in the origins of this fantastic musical.
There was never another movie of Sweeney Todd. Only Tim Burton’s version. It’s not a book either. It’s originally a play. It’s actually one of the most famous plays ever. And with it being a play, the storyline is always at least a little different. I’ve seen several different versions of the play and definitely Tim Burton’s is the best
@@saklee1777 please do research before commenting lol it originally came from a serial, was first seen for penny dreadful in the mid 1800s and wasn't just 1 silent film in the 1920s, but at least 2 silent films. I adore the play, the musical, but it reached other mediums far before
The movie I think you're referring to is *The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* (1936), aka *Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street* starring Tod Slaughter, who also performed the role of Sweeney many times in live stage performances to great acclaim. The Stephen Sondheim stage musical is not based directly on this film, but rather on the 1970 non-musical stage play by Christopher Bond, which reconfigured the story, changing several characters' names and motivations. All these versions have common ancestry in the Victorian-era penny dreadful serial *The String of Pearls* (1846-47), which was adapted as a stage play and expanded into a long-winded novel, and later re-adapted into many different stage versions, and as another commenter has mentioned, at least two silent movies. One possible influence on Tim Burton's version from the 1936 film is the choice to cast Tobias as an actual.child (in the '36 version he's played by a 12-year-old boy actor named Johnny Singer, and is Sweeney Todd's apprentice).
Funny thing is if he wasn’t seeking vengeance and just returned to London to become a normal barber he would’ve probably had his wife and daughter in the end.
One of the biggest differences between the movie and the stage version is that the movie cuts out all the parts where the ensemble have 4th wall breaking narration. One of those moments includes a quintet singing the contents of the letter you see him writing at 23:30. I never noticed before that the words of the letter written here are exactly the same as the words sung in the stage version.
“I think your hair is haunted to be honest” The way I CACKLED Also how am I five minutes into this video and you’ve already noticed two things on your first viewing that I haven’t noticed in like five
Hi. In the stage musical the late Stephen Sondheim gave Judge Turpin his own disturbing song . The title “Mea Culpa” is Latin for I am guilty. I recommend that you give the 2012 Sweeney Todd London revival album starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton a try.
The official title of that song, which begins with the words, "Mea culpa," is the Judge's version of "Johanna." Although it was cut from the original Broadway production, it was included on the complete version of the Original Broadway Cast Recording. I believe it strongly influenced the similarly creepy song, "Hellfire," from Disney's *Hunchback of Notre Dame* (1996).
This is one of my favorite movies, and Johnny Depp is just amazing in this movie, as he is in all movies. And I love the reactions! This is so fun to watch
I must say, This movie is just perfect. Even though it’s probably unhealthy to love a movie like this so much, I can’t help it. The songs and singers voices are amazing, the visuals were done extremely well, the actors all did so amazing, the makeup and their outfits work perfectly, and the storyline is just so shocking. And it has my 5 fav celebrities in it: Johnny depp, Helena bonham carter, Alan rickman, Tim burton, and Danny elfman. When those 5 all work together in 1 film, u know it’s gonna be amazing
Your reactions were on point to what my first viewing of this movie was. Watching you react was the closest I was able to get to re-experiencing this movie for the first time. Thank you for that! If you're curious for another gory musical, might I recommend Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's just as gory, dark, and twisted as Sweeney Todd.
Fun fact about this musical, a lot of tracks have a motif that has signified death throughout history. Its hidden in plain sight throughout almost every track in the film and its simply brilliant.
23:29-23:38 "Most Honorable Judge Turpin, I write this urgent note to warn you that the young sailor has abducted your ward, Johanna. Hoping to earn your favor, I have persuaded the boy to bring her here tonight to my shop. Hurry after night fall and she will be waiting. Your obedient humble servant, Sweeney Todd" Basically, Sweeney is baiting the judge to come to his shop with the promise of holding Johanna for Turpin to retrieve her.
When you said he looks like a prisoner on the beach - those were the beach fashions of the time in England. Victorians were a bit prudish so you couldn't flash much skin. It was hardly any different in the states at the same time.
28:20 When you said the thing about him not knowing the family, Sweeney lost all feelings, it's Sweeney, Benjamin is dead (same thing with Cruella), when are you going to watch her. The movie Cruella. Hopefully soon, it's a less violent movie, but there was a near death...So, back to Sweeney. He was blinded by revenge, so he TECHNICALLY couldn't recognize them because he learned to kill, he couldn't "see" the resemblance because he was "blind" - that's the point of the movie, revenge blinds people.
Love this movie! Still listen to music from this movie. It got me interested in musicals. 'Johanna' and 'My Friends' are 2 of my favorite songs! Thanks for reacting!
21:35 - Todd singing about his daughter and killing one after another 😂 - the whole movie is just from the dramaturgically point perfect. The way the scenes are directed. It´s probably my favorite movie, because everything is so... perfect!!! When I first watched it, I didn´t know that Johnny Depp can sing, but after a few minutes I recognized that it must be him singing the songs. I love his voice, there´s so much feeling in it. He sounds melancholic and sad, and a few moments later he´s full of anger. I listened to other versions of Sweeney Todd, also to a Broadway performance, but all these professional singers don´t do for me what he does. For me, he is the voice of Sweeney Todd.
I love the fact that you react to your reacting as it happens, as you edit. It's great! And I love this movie and this play. Have done ever since I saw it on stage in high school.
@@RukiyaReactsYAY! You love Lovett too, she and Toby are my favourites. I think Sweeney killed innocent people to help Lovett in her business because she gave him the power to get revenge, she gave him the razors. She regretted it! I stopped watching the movie when Lovett was burned-my favorite character was burned before my eyes?!😢😢😢
im super late to the party, but i think its so poetic that todd was only able to recognize the beggar woman as lucy AFTER killing the judge - after he finished his revenge
did you ever whatched Harry Potter? the judge is Snape in that mini series and the woman that made the pies played Belatrix Lestrange its a good mini series if you love magic and friendship 😉
Hi my name is Erica and I’m a huge fan of anything that has to do with Tim Burton. I enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite Tim Burton movies so I thank you for it also your cat is so adorable. Johnny Depp is also my favorite actor who did Sweeney Todd. RIP to Alan Rickman who played the judge and he also played professor Snape in Harry Potter.
Really enjoyed your reaction, here! Still… I found that, with this flick, Burton sacrificed the deliciously dark humor, for the excessive gore. May I recommend that you watch the 1980-ish stage version, starring Angela Lansbury, & George Hearn? Very different, with bigger performances (Necessary for a stage production.), but really an awesome… “undertaking”.😁 Enjoy, &… Best to you! 😀
I think the ending is fitting for what happens. Sweeney realized that it was him who murdered his beloved and the human part of him comes back. He was so lost in the idea of revenge that he forsake everything. And when he heard Toby come up from behind him he lifts his head so Toby could kill him, he gave up. At that moment the world he thought he couldn't have appeared, and also came crashing down around him, he thought he had nothing left. Also the way that history repeated itself. Johnny only liked johanna because she was beautiful and she had a good voice and it seemed to be the same with Barker. When he sung about his wife all of it was about her yellow hair and how beautiful she was. When he finally reunited with her he didnt recognize her because she was no longer beautiful. Also his mindset of not caring anymore he had no reason for anything he just wanted Turpin dead for taking every thing away, its also why turpin didn't recognize him. He probably had many victims and todd was just another blurred out face in the crowd. He was a victim. Turpin only wanted his wife and child. Ofc todd would recognize him because he was the reason that sweeneys castle collapsed. And maybe if ms lovett elaborated on "she poisoned herself" but shes still alive maybe things couldve happened differently.
@@RukiyaReacts if I could make a recommendation, Into the Woods is one of his best. Though if you do watch it, it would behoove you to watch the stage version on UA-cam. Disney's adaptation tries to take it very seriously, when it's a very absurdist sort of musical.
Johnny Depp sings and plays quitar whenever he has freetime as co-star In bands. You should try watching Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp - Isolation music video. It's good.
I didn’t realize at first but iv seen this movie before when I was like 5 or 6 and I wasn’t scared of it for some odd reason I’m almost 13 and still remember some parts. Btw i really love your reactions *I didn’t watch it alone my mom had put it on while doing my hair*
This is my personal favorite Burton movie. I've watch it so many times and its like every time I notice more and more hints that the wife was alive the whole time and it makes me so mad. A lot of it is hints with the score and background music like when she gets killed, I noticed it was the melody of the slower parts of Epiphany where Sweeney was lamenting never seeing Johanna and Lucy again. And it is absolutely diabolical they didnt show her face almost at all til Sweeney killed her, but we also still couldn't see her well enough to recognize it was her. But I noticed Lovette's body language and her expression, too, whenever she first told Sweeney she poisoned herself. At first you could interpret it as her being uncomfortable about telling him, but after that first watch and going back to it its so hard not to notice how clearly she's lying. Her face and how she averts her eyes, man. You can see the gears turning. I love twists that manage to compmetely shock you the first watch and then you rewatch it and realize it was there the whole time.
I love Sweeney Todd so much; it’s one of the plays that my dad and I went to see, before he passed. We also watched this movie that year, and we both loved the soundtrack and would quote this to each other.
I'm sorry for your loss love🕊️ I'm happy you have good memories with him to cherish❤️. Musicals can be a hit or miss for me but Sweeney Todd has become one of my favourites, next to Hairspray and Hamilton 🥰
When I first saw this film back in college, that was my same reaction. Every time he was going ham on these people’s throats, I couldn’t believe they were showing so much. And I’m squeamish about anything being slit.
Why I feel like Mrs. Lovett, The Judge and The judges minion all played characters in Harry Potter Mrs. Lovett: Bealatrix Lestrange (so sorry if I spelt that wrong) The Judge: Professor Snape (idk who to spell his first name😭) The Judges Minion: Peter Pettergrew (again srry if I spelt that wrong)
i really like to think that todd saw and heard toby behind him at the end, and he like,,extended his neck out, willing to die. because there's no way he heard johanna shuffle in the box but not toby opening the grate and crawling out of it. he really just succumbed to death
Some fun facts for you: Jamie Campbell Bower, the guy who played Anthony, held a chair over his head to maintain those long notes during the "Johanna" song at the advice of the woman that played Sweeney's wife, as she was the only one that was classically trained in musicals. The kid that played Toby was hands-down the best singer of the bunch. Helena Bonham Carter was pregnant during most of the shoot, and she almost threw up during the spinning scenes of "A Little Priest".
Only just found your channel today, this video's a little old now and someone else may have already said, but... the line about cats in pies was directed at Mrs Lovett's competitor, she's trying to claim her pies are better than a rival who catches stray cats and uses their meat in her pies. She says that the price of meat is rising, so people are trying to find cheap options... and her rival's neighbour's cats have all strangely vanished. Then she laments that she herself isn't able to use cats in her pies, not for any moral reason, just because cats are quick little bastards and she can never catch any of them. It's a good establishing character moment for Mrs Lovett showing that she's morally bankrupt and only angry at her rival for being better than her, she'd just as easily stoop to her level if she could.
when I first watched Sweeney Todd, I wasn't sure what it was about... when the singing started, I was like I don't know if I want to watch a musical... than I saw Johnny. I was like hmm ok I'll see where this goes... after seeing the meat pie place I was stuck and glued to the screen watching the whole movie... when it ended, I was like 'is that the end?' Cause I didn't know I had watched it all. (Also, there is a game based on this I do believe... But the main isn't a barber. it's a clothes maker.)
I think from a logical standpoint he couldn't recognise his daughter or wife because they were both disguised by circumstance. But I think metaphorically he could not see them because he was blinded by revenge.
Eyyy pan flag slay
Could be both, it's been years since he's seen either of them, not to mention he believed his wife killed herself, AND he was probably at his breaking point since everything was falling apart
Well, he last saw his daughter when she was a toddler, and she's disguised as a man. That's probably the main reason he didn't recognize her. His wife, on the other hand, you may notice keeps her head down, so Sweeney never really gets a good look at her face until after her throat has been cut.
Absolutely
I prefer the second explanation. He could see his daughter quite clearly, being blinded by revenge doesn't sound logical, but it's a good metaphor.
During the reprise of Johana, if you listen closely to Todd's lyrics, he goes on to say that he'll miss Johanna less and less as every day goes by. He also earlier mentioned that he thinks he'll never see her again. So, he just let himself be consumed by his hatred for Turpin, to the point that she was unrecognizable to him

@@rustyattacker also, having seen what she saw, she probably wanted nothing to do with him, regardless of whether or not she knew he was her father.
@@rustyattacker Don’t forget the clothes, he genuinely believed she was a guy
The gore was gory, the humor was humoring, the music was musicking lol. This was a great reaction. Honestly I seldom ever find musicals appealing, but this one and Willy Wonka are the ones that I truly do enjoy (crazy polar opposites I know lol). Johnny Depp was amazing, so was Helena and the songs were catchy. Plus that Tim Burton aesthetics brings it all together.
I forgot Willy Wonka was a musical!! I need to react to that soon because it’s been way too long since I’ve last watched it😅
@@RukiyaReacts That would be amazing! oh and another good one would be Little Shop of Horrors, that was great too.
Willy Wonka and Sweeney Todd are the only musicals I like, too! I think it's because they both involve food.

The music in this was AMAZING! Everyone's voice blended beautifully with one another. I have to agree, Todd screaming Benjamin Barker at the judge was sooo fun and satisfying to watch!!
The dark colors of the film sets the tone of a dark ghost like theme. This is how Sweeney Todd is feeling internally.

Watching Sweeney Todd with you was lots of fun! You had great comments all along.
Poor Sweeney (Benjamin), broken by his years of detention, suffocated by dreams of revenge, could not recognize his wife, and never really looked at her; and while he did look at his daughter, her hair being hidden by the cap, he couldn't see the resemblance.
I like that Tim Burton didn't shy away from the gore; just like Sondheim (composer) didn't shy away from the crude lyrics. London back in the 19th century was pretty bleak. The first time I watched it, I was as shocked as you. 😲😨😱
I love when you roast yourself because you are truly hilarious. This is definitely one of Tim Burton's best works. The movie was a wild, chaotic, violent ride.
Roasting myself is one of my greatest skills haha😅. I agree, this was a wild ride and I loved every minute of it!! I haven’t watched a bad Tim Burton movie yet. 🥰
Something about the way he lifts his chin just a bit at the end, he obviously knows and welcomes what's coming.
Yes, because after he realized he killed his wife there was literally nothing left. For the crimes he commited he would´ve been executed anyway in the time the movie takes place. Only Johanna is still left, but he´s mentally completely destroyed at the end and I doubt that Johanna would forgive him for what he have done, after she was in the same room with him while he killed two people and was on top of that nearly killed herself by him 😅.
11:01 YES! SOMEONE REALIZED ANTHONY ISN’T A CREEP! This scene is a little different in the stage version, but the same basic idea is portrayed. In the stage version, a merchant is selling birds outside the Judge’s house, and Green Finch and Linnet Bird is directed towards the birds being sold. When Anthony sings the first part of Johanna, he buys a bird and brings it to her as a gift, but then the Judge and Beadle notice him and the Judge calls him impure, before making creepy remarks to Johanna, and the Beadle kills the bird. Then, when he finishes the song, he destroys the cage as a metaphor for freeing her.
Anthony is definitely not a creep, but without that context he comes off as creepy, especially when you consider what happened to her mother and how she was kidnapped as a baby.
@@felicitymorris5548 My problem was that people with the context called him a creep.
@@alexandersean4708 they weren't paying attention then
By the way if we're heading down this road of Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movies, might I suggest watching Sleepy Hollow? its a good movie, horror btw, although not too scary imo.
Sleepy Hollow is the next Tim Burton film I'll be reacting to 🥰
I like to imagine (knowing that this is probably not what happened in the original play) Johanna, Anthony and Toby running off together afterwards, getting on the first ship out of London and settling down somewhere either in another city in England (or maybe in France) or settling down somewhere in the country getting job working for some farmer (they can also do with an extra set of hands) with the agreement that they never set foot in London again and only ever talking about what happened occasionally when they're sure that no one can hear them.
But more likely Toby will loose that last bit of innocence he had and will grow up tough and angry on the streets but will always have that razor with him to slit throats all over the place.
Either way Johanna should never be told that Todd was her father's and that she heard her mothers throat being slit, that will break her.
If they ever decide to make a sequel, this should be the plot!
In the musical's ending, Anthony, Johanna, and two officers found Toby grinding the meat in the bakehouse (he was repeatedly saying "grinding the meat three times") surrounded by the bodies. Most probably he'll end up in jail or an asylum.
I'd like to imagine that Johanna is heading down a dark path as well. The movie took much of her character away. In the song "Kiss Me" (not in the film), she was neurotic and clearly just latching on to Anthony to whisk her away from her miserable life even if she "did not know his name". She also shot Mr. Fogg at the asylum. Along with Anthony treating her like an object to steal and putting her on a pedestal, I don't think it'll be a happy marriage if they ever do marry.
@@zipzapkpop as I said, I knew this wouldn't have happened in the original play
Sweeney Todd is one of my favorite musicals I actually just went to see a community theater performance yesterday
Sweeney todd: yeets Mrs. Lovett into the depths of hell while 'this girl is on fireeeee' plays
Me: *sheds a single tear* masterpiece
I love Alan Rickman. He was so good at playing the villain.
I love how the movie keeps shoving the beggar woman back into view but you don't really give her a good look, just like the characters don't. Watching a second time, you want to slap yourself for not realizing it, and that's the mark of an amazing twist.
Also! I don't know if anyone pointed out yet but Pirelli is Sacha Baron Cohen, AKA Borat/Ali G/Bruno and a bunch of other characters I'm probably forgetting. Which makes his part even funnier.
The worst part is that she asks him twice if she has met him before, and he ignored her both times.
Though I LOVE Tim Burton, we need to credit Sondheim for this story and music. The adaptation work on Burton's part is genius and legit the best stage to film adaptation I've seen in a while, him and Sondheim truly are perfect together
Agree! 💯
@@RukiyaReacts The film left out a great aspect of the musical show, the Greek chorus at beginning, end and at several points during the show. Here's a taste of it: ua-cam.com/video/j8t4Ny39tt8/v-deo.html
I had no idea the song Joanna was from this movie, I still very much love the song, I also love how the voice Johnny used isn't much different from the one he uses for Jack sparrow, so even if you didn't know it was him at first, you could tell once you hear him speak
I believe that when sweeney made the smooth cuts they were for people he didn't know but with the judge and the beedle heck even the dude trying to frame him he wanted their deaths to be excruciating because they had negative impacts in his past or would out him to the judge that's just my theory though
In the musical, Johanna shoe Fogg in the asylum and she was about to swallow poison before her and antonys song “kiss me” and I think it’s really interesting that both in the musical and the movie, in Johannas song “green finch and linnet bird” The dies eraes was used (don’t think I spelled that right lol)
"Dies Irae," in various forms, is all over *Sweeney Todd.*
Hi! so, fun fact:
Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd are played by the same people who played Emily and Victor in Corpse Bride! :)
Though Tim did an AMAZING job bringing this into the "movie musical" list, it was a broadway musical first (Recommend seeing the opening as it very well establishes narrative and character as most musicals on stage do). It in itself was adapted from an old movie (I believe) - a black and white film that, if I recall, was more from the young mans POV and he does in fact take Joanna and runs off with her, almost literally, in the final shot of that movie. A great deepdive if you are interested in the origins of this fantastic musical.
There was never another movie of Sweeney Todd. Only Tim Burton’s version. It’s not a book either. It’s originally a play. It’s actually one of the most famous plays ever. And with it being a play, the storyline is always at least a little different. I’ve seen several different versions of the play and definitely Tim Burton’s is the best
@@saklee1777 please do research before commenting lol it originally came from a serial, was first seen for penny dreadful in the mid 1800s and wasn't just 1 silent film in the 1920s, but at least 2 silent films. I adore the play, the musical, but it reached other mediums far before
The movie I think you're referring to is *The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* (1936), aka *Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street* starring Tod Slaughter, who also performed the role of Sweeney many times in live stage performances to great acclaim. The Stephen Sondheim stage musical is not based directly on this film, but rather on the 1970 non-musical stage play by Christopher Bond, which reconfigured the story, changing several characters' names and motivations. All these versions have common ancestry in the Victorian-era penny dreadful serial *The String of Pearls* (1846-47), which was adapted as a stage play and expanded into a long-winded novel, and later re-adapted into many different stage versions, and as another commenter has mentioned, at least two silent movies. One possible influence on Tim Burton's version from the 1936 film is the choice to cast Tobias as an actual.child (in the '36 version he's played by a 12-year-old boy actor named Johnny Singer, and is Sweeney Todd's apprentice).
Funny thing is if he wasn’t seeking vengeance and just returned to London to become a normal barber he would’ve probably had his wife and daughter in the end.
One of the biggest differences between the movie and the stage version is that the movie cuts out all the parts where the ensemble have 4th wall breaking narration. One of those moments includes a quintet singing the contents of the letter you see him writing at 23:30. I never noticed before that the words of the letter written here are exactly the same as the words sung in the stage version.
“I think your hair is haunted to be honest” The way I CACKLED
Also how am I five minutes into this video and you’ve already noticed two things on your first viewing that I haven’t noticed in like five
Hi. In the stage musical the late Stephen Sondheim gave Judge Turpin his own disturbing song . The title “Mea Culpa” is Latin for I am guilty. I recommend that you give the 2012 Sweeney Todd London revival album starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton a try.
The official title of that song, which begins with the words, "Mea culpa," is the Judge's version of "Johanna." Although it was cut from the original Broadway production, it was included on the complete version of the Original Broadway Cast Recording. I believe it strongly influenced the similarly creepy song, "Hellfire," from Disney's *Hunchback of Notre Dame* (1996).
This is a great film!!!!!! Literally the Harry Potter Cast is in this. Lol!! Great reaction.
Oh really?? I didn't notice because I've never seen Harry Potter😅 I for sure want to react to it and see what all the hype is about, haha!
And thank you❤️
@@RukiyaReacts You must do Harry Potter!-- Lol It will be so fun to watch you recognize them in HP
@@kathleensmith3555 Yesssssss Harry Potter is such a good series.
Yep. Timothy spall (worm tail), Alan rickman (snape), and Helena bonham carter (belitrix).
This is one of my favorite movies, and Johnny Depp is just amazing in this movie, as he is in all movies. And I love the reactions! This is so fun to watch
Omg everybody in this movie played a role in the HP universe! Lol love the reactions and seeing your commentary from editing you 😂
Now I feel like I should react to Harry Potter so I can see the cast in it😅
Didn’t expect to see Jamie Campbell Bower in here AKA Henry/One/Vecna - he’s a good singer. BTW really enjoyed your reaction! You’re funny!
Glad you enjoyed! 🥰
This is one of my favourite movies! Thank you for letting me experience it again through your reaction (:
My pleasure!! 🥰
The intro caught me OFF GUARD I was dead laughing ☠️
the song was too perfect for that scene 😂🤣
I must say, This movie is just perfect. Even though it’s probably unhealthy to love a movie like this so much, I can’t help it. The songs and singers voices are amazing, the visuals were done extremely well, the actors all did so amazing, the makeup and their outfits work perfectly, and the storyline is just so shocking. And it has my 5 fav celebrities in it: Johnny depp, Helena bonham carter, Alan rickman, Tim burton, and Danny elfman. When those 5 all work together in 1 film, u know it’s gonna be amazing
I don’t blame you! This film was well done with a phenomenal cast. I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite Tim Burton film, but it’s for sure in my top 5🥰
Your reactions were on point to what my first viewing of this movie was. Watching you react was the closest I was able to get to re-experiencing this movie for the first time. Thank you for that!
If you're curious for another gory musical, might I recommend Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's just as gory, dark, and twisted as Sweeney Todd.
Fun fact about this musical, a lot of tracks have a motif that has signified death throughout history. Its hidden in plain sight throughout almost every track in the film and its simply brilliant.
One of my favorite musicals Fr fr, I love how dramatic the whole thing is.
Agreed! It's up there with Hairspray for me🥰
23:29-23:38
"Most Honorable Judge Turpin, I write this urgent note to warn you that the young sailor has abducted your ward, Johanna. Hoping to earn your favor, I have persuaded the boy to bring her here tonight to my shop. Hurry after night fall and she will be waiting. Your obedient humble servant, Sweeney Todd"
Basically, Sweeney is baiting the judge to come to his shop with the promise of holding Johanna for Turpin to retrieve her.
When you said he looks like a prisoner on the beach - those were the beach fashions of the time in England. Victorians were a bit prudish so you couldn't flash much skin. It was hardly any different in the states at the same time.
28:20 When you said the thing about him not knowing the family, Sweeney lost all feelings, it's Sweeney, Benjamin is dead (same thing with Cruella), when are you going to watch her. The movie Cruella. Hopefully soon, it's a less violent movie, but there was a near death...So, back to Sweeney. He was blinded by revenge, so he TECHNICALLY couldn't recognize them because he learned to kill, he couldn't "see" the resemblance because he was "blind" - that's the point of the movie, revenge blinds people.
Love this movie! Still listen to music from this movie. It got me interested in musicals. 'Johanna' and 'My Friends' are 2 of my favorite songs! Thanks for reacting!
this show is acc crazy when you see it live! there was blood everywhere. It was the most mental experience ever!
21:35 - Todd singing about his daughter and killing one after another 😂 - the whole movie is just from the dramaturgically point perfect. The way the scenes are directed. It´s probably my favorite movie, because everything is so... perfect!!! When I first watched it, I didn´t know that Johnny Depp can sing, but after a few minutes I recognized that it must be him singing the songs. I love his voice, there´s so much feeling in it. He sounds melancholic and sad, and a few moments later he´s full of anger. I listened to other versions of Sweeney Todd, also to a Broadway performance, but all these professional singers don´t do for me what he does. For me, he is the voice of Sweeney Todd.
ACTUALLY yes that’s His actual voice he’s a singer and he has a band -Johnny depp❤
I love the fact that you react to your reacting as it happens, as you edit. It's great!
And I love this movie and this play. Have done ever since I saw it on stage in high school.
This movie is THE BEST ! I want to play mrs.lovette in a production of the show sooo much!!!
She's such an iconic character🥰
@@RukiyaReacts yeah. I always thought so.
@@RukiyaReactsYAY! You love Lovett too, she and Toby are my favourites. I think Sweeney killed innocent people to help Lovett in her business because she gave him the power to get revenge, she gave him the razors. She regretted it! I stopped watching the movie when Lovett was burned-my favorite character was burned before my eyes?!😢😢😢
im super late to the party, but i think its so poetic that todd was only able to recognize the beggar woman as lucy AFTER killing the judge - after he finished his revenge
did you ever whatched Harry Potter?
the judge is Snape in that mini series
and the woman that made the pies played Belatrix Lestrange
its a good mini series if you love magic and friendship 😉
Hi my name is Erica and I’m a huge fan of anything that has to do with Tim Burton. I enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite Tim Burton movies so I thank you for it also your cat is so adorable. Johnny Depp is also my favorite actor who did Sweeney Todd. RIP to Alan Rickman who played the judge and he also played professor Snape in Harry Potter.
I really want to hear Jamie Campbell Bower sing Anthony's innocent "Joanna" in Vecna's voice. 🤣
IM A STRANGER THINGS FAN TOO😭👹👹👹
My fav is Robin
👹👹Joanna👹👹
Really enjoyed your reaction, here! Still… I found that, with this flick, Burton sacrificed the deliciously dark humor, for the excessive gore. May I recommend that you watch the 1980-ish stage version, starring Angela Lansbury, & George Hearn? Very different, with bigger performances (Necessary for a stage production.), but really an awesome… “undertaking”.😁
Enjoy, &… Best to you! 😀
I think the ending is fitting for what happens. Sweeney realized that it was him who murdered his beloved and the human part of him comes back. He was so lost in the idea of revenge that he forsake everything. And when he heard Toby come up from behind him he lifts his head so Toby could kill him, he gave up. At that moment the world he thought he couldn't have appeared, and also came crashing down around him, he thought he had nothing left.
Also the way that history repeated itself. Johnny only liked johanna because she was beautiful and she had a good voice and it seemed to be the same with Barker. When he sung about his wife all of it was about her yellow hair and how beautiful she was. When he finally reunited with her he didnt recognize her because she was no longer beautiful. Also his mindset of not caring anymore he had no reason for anything he just wanted Turpin dead for taking every thing away, its also why turpin didn't recognize him. He probably had many victims and todd was just another blurred out face in the crowd.
He was a victim. Turpin only wanted his wife and child. Ofc todd would recognize him because he was the reason that sweeneys castle collapsed. And maybe if ms lovett elaborated on "she poisoned herself" but shes still alive maybe things couldve happened differently.
This, is one of my favorite musicals. Stephen Sondheim, the composer was brilliant. Love most all of his stuff
He is amazing!! I need to check out more of his work 🤩
@@RukiyaReacts if I could make a recommendation, Into the Woods is one of his best. Though if you do watch it, it would behoove you to watch the stage version on UA-cam. Disney's adaptation tries to take it very seriously, when it's a very absurdist sort of musical.
@@philiphamel8504 oh okay! Thank you🥰❤️
THANK YOU for reacting to this movie!! You're the only chick on UA-cam who has done so. Loved it!
I don't know why it took me so long to figure out the judge dude was Alan Rickman.
Awesome reaction!! If you want another gothic musical you should definitely watch Repo the Genetic Opera. It's a cult classic for a reason!
Thank you!!🥰 I’ll check out Repo the Genetic Opera!
Yes do watch Repo the Genetic Opera it is an severely underrated movie.
21:17 i believe in the stage adaptation, mrs. lovett and sweeney agree to unalive tourists and those who will not be missed by family?
This movie never got me with the blood cause it always looked like paint to me 😂😂😂
I didn't expect to hear snape sing today but I did
Omg didn’t expect the girl to actually be on fire at the start of the video lol
I really enjoyed your reaction! You’re editing was great and the commentary was quite funny. Hope you have a good day :)
Awe, thank you so much! 🥰 I hope you're having a lovely day too ❤️
I love Sweeny Tood. But Alan Rickman as Turpin..... He does such an amazing job.
So 3 main characters from this movie also starred in Harry Potter. Snape, Beatrix, and Peter Pettigrew aka Ron’s pet rat
Johnny Depp sings and plays quitar whenever he has freetime as co-star In bands. You should try watching Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp - Isolation music video. It's good.
I KNEW MISS LOVETT LOOKED FARMILIAR! Helena Bonham Carter plays Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter!
I remember seeing this movie in theatres. Best thing ever.
I wish I could have!
You’re so lucky to have seen this in theatre!! Must have been so fun
I didn’t realize at first but iv seen this movie before when I was like 5 or 6 and I wasn’t scared of it for some odd reason I’m almost 13 and still remember some parts.
Btw i really love your reactions
*I didn’t watch it alone my mom had put it on while doing my hair*
I swear y'all all talking about the plot while I'm wheezing at the intro 😂
“I would love to learn from you”.
LMFAO.
this is literally my favorite movie ever ever ever.. when im bored i just watch it in my brain on repeat.
Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall are all in the Harry Potter movies!
Snape, Bellatrix, and Wormtail
Girl this was my favorite movie as a child.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Your reactions in this movie are *GOLD*
Thank you🥰✨
This is my personal favorite Burton movie. I've watch it so many times and its like every time I notice more and more hints that the wife was alive the whole time and it makes me so mad. A lot of it is hints with the score and background music like when she gets killed, I noticed it was the melody of the slower parts of Epiphany where Sweeney was lamenting never seeing Johanna and Lucy again. And it is absolutely diabolical they didnt show her face almost at all til Sweeney killed her, but we also still couldn't see her well enough to recognize it was her. But I noticed Lovette's body language and her expression, too, whenever she first told Sweeney she poisoned herself. At first you could interpret it as her being uncomfortable about telling him, but after that first watch and going back to it its so hard not to notice how clearly she's lying. Her face and how she averts her eyes, man. You can see the gears turning. I love twists that manage to compmetely shock you the first watch and then you rewatch it and realize it was there the whole time.
I love Sweeney Todd so much; it’s one of the plays that my dad and I went to see, before he passed. We also watched this movie that year, and we both loved the soundtrack and would quote this to each other.
I'm sorry for your loss love🕊️ I'm happy you have good memories with him to cherish❤️.
Musicals can be a hit or miss for me but Sweeney Todd has become one of my favourites, next to Hairspray and Hamilton 🥰
Your reactions always make me laugh bo matter what movie it is
I ment no not bo
Autocorrect
When I first saw this film back in college, that was my same reaction. Every time he was going ham on these people’s throats, I couldn’t believe they were showing so much. And I’m squeamish about anything being slit.
Thanks for reacting to this, favorite Tim Burton for me, great commentary Rukiya!
Why I feel like Mrs. Lovett, The Judge and The judges minion all played characters in Harry Potter
Mrs. Lovett: Bealatrix Lestrange (so sorry if I spelt that wrong)
The Judge: Professor Snape (idk who to spell his first name😭)
The Judges Minion: Peter Pettergrew (again srry if I spelt that wrong)
So funny that she’s like I didn’t expect them to show that when it’s literally rated R movie
Omfg 🤣 I love this, your commentary is hilarious !!
Teehee, thank you!! 🤭🥰❤️
After she said he.....Her I started to cry like i am not lying I was Tramtised so yeah 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 6:25
I like this movie, so underrated
i really like to think that todd saw and heard toby behind him at the end, and he like,,extended his neck out, willing to die. because there's no way he heard johanna shuffle in the box but not toby opening the grate and crawling out of it. he really just succumbed to death
this is johnnys real singing voice! he had to take a lot of lessons to get ready to take on the role as it was his first singing role
Some fun facts for you:
Jamie Campbell Bower, the guy who played Anthony, held a chair over his head to maintain those long notes during the "Johanna" song at the advice of the woman that played Sweeney's wife, as she was the only one that was classically trained in musicals.
The kid that played Toby was hands-down the best singer of the bunch.
Helena Bonham Carter was pregnant during most of the shoot, and she almost threw up during the spinning scenes of "A Little Priest".
Only just found your channel today, this video's a little old now and someone else may have already said, but... the line about cats in pies was directed at Mrs Lovett's competitor, she's trying to claim her pies are better than a rival who catches stray cats and uses their meat in her pies. She says that the price of meat is rising, so people are trying to find cheap options... and her rival's neighbour's cats have all strangely vanished.
Then she laments that she herself isn't able to use cats in her pies, not for any moral reason, just because cats are quick little bastards and she can never catch any of them. It's a good establishing character moment for Mrs Lovett showing that she's morally bankrupt and only angry at her rival for being better than her, she'd just as easily stoop to her level if she could.
Ohhh okay! Thank you for letting me know❤️
Love your reaction! Watched this movie last week for 1st time, this musical is wild, especially that twist with Lucy!!!
Someone probably already said it but it is theorized (based on the timeline and some other factors) that Toby becomes Jack the Ripper.
This is one of my favorite Burton/Depp movie. And your reaction is just awsome!
10:49 MAN! I couldn't wait for Todd to put them in the pies, too. Thank you, Mrs. Lovett.
when I first watched Sweeney Todd, I wasn't sure what it was about... when the singing started, I was like I don't know if I want to watch a musical... than I saw Johnny. I was like hmm ok I'll see where this goes... after seeing the meat pie place I was stuck and glued to the screen watching the whole movie... when it ended, I was like 'is that the end?' Cause I didn't know I had watched it all.
(Also, there is a game based on this I do believe... But the main isn't a barber. it's a clothes maker.)
That intro- 😭🤚
Johnny Depp is the king of cool in my #1 favourite actor. He deserves a lot more movie roles and respect
