2.19 Brought to You by Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Tim Burton's 2007 adaptation of the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street serves as our movie portion of the chapter on Vengeance. It also serves as a compliment to the earlier chapter of Justice and Les Miserables.

We talk about color, music/lyric, theme, symbolism, favorite scenes, and of course vengeance.

We also debate whether we are impacted more by the cautionary message or the gratifying moment of vengeance, and whether we have a more visceral reaction to Sweeney Todd or Les Miserables.
