No joke, when Burton was putting these movies out he was up there with the best

[J_C_CH]

I think I remember reading somewhere that the original idea as to why Todd was still on top form and was able to beat Pirelli despite being in a penal colony for 15 years is because while there he was put to work as the prison barber, so he never lost his edge.

[MissUniqueSarah]

Great movie. I really miss seeing Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in movies. They're both legend!

[cosclay]

Well, that dudes who's been shaved by Sweeney is the only one that survived his service

[PierLuc]

People hate joker 2 because it was a musical and nothing else.

This movie shows that it is really not only about "being a musical" but everything around it. Every detail. Actors. The music itself.
In the musical category, this is a masterpiece.

[StevenMulders]

Am I the only one that thinks that throw of Pirelli's cape is absolutely perfect?

[freebird]

I love the subtext in this scene. Pirelli/David immediately recognises Todd's razors and knows Todd is Benjamin Barker, but since he used to look up to Barker, he decides to genuinely test himself against Todd to prove he's now better than his old idol in public. And even if he fails, he can still come back and strong-arm Todd after the contest - which he does until Todd kills him.

"To shave'a da face" still hum this every morning

[TheCoolProfessor]

Depp and Burton are the peanut butter and jelly of Hollywood. They go together perfectly.

[EugeneMao-opot]

If The DIctator just shaved instead of singing, he probably would have been finished before Jack Sparrow stopped staring at his own razor

[josephl.]

Sweeney Todd is a good thriller movie of 2007

[knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

I think of Cohens "you shave-a de face" song every time I shave. The scene is one of my favorites of the film.

[Darthkiller]

At 3:58

Love how the sound effect, when Sweeney reveals his razors, sounds like a gunslinger bringing out their six-shooters.

[persephoneblack]

I got to see this at my local theater a couple years ago for my birthday. It was fantastic. Still a top favorite for me.

[datemasamune]

Love how Todd is razor focused on getting revenge, but doesn't mind doing a side quest to stop people from getting scammed.

[marckempe]

The proof is in the presentation. Pirelli actually demonstrated that he wasn’t Italian from one simple action. No person from any country would be so disrespectful as to use their home country’s flag to cover someone’s body whilst giving a shave or haircut.

[Quayd_McMahon]

Grindelwald and Pettigrew walk into a shaving competition

[ForeverAlone-dgqk]

This is one of Johnny Depps most under appreciated movies that many people do not even know about.

[thibautisserant]

I love the fakeness of the pope's paper.
The insulting italian accent "da shave"
The signature just stating "The pope" without even specifying is name.

This whole scene the character unveils more and more layers of how much of a sham he is and it is wonderfully displayed in the movie !

[isabellebrant]

The young man singing is wonderful Well done, young one!
