I am looking forward to seeing the new Johnny Depp Movie, Sweeney Todd. This movie is about a man who seeks revenge. Sweeney Todd was unjustly accused of a crime. He is sent to prison who where he suffers emotional and physical trauma. His family also suffers because of his situation. The scenario is one that cries for justice. Sweeney Todd vows that revenge will be his. He is a barber and uses his trade to give some great “haircuts.” You can visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site and watch the trailer as Depp portrays the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who “shaved the heads of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard from again.”

You know, revenge is sweet. I prefer quiet revenge. My favorite movie where the main character got revenge was Shawshank Redemption.

In Shawshank Redemption, Andy is sentenced to prison for a murder he did not commit. He quietly does his time. He is an accountant and the warden uses him for his accounting work. The movie takes you on a journey that shows how he copes with his imprisonment. He finds that he is trusted and as a viewer, we never realize how he uses that trust until the end. At the end, it is an Oh My Gosh moment when we see how he gets his revenge. Sweet!

I am anxious to see how Sweeney Todd gets his revenge. I have a feeling that this is going to be Johnny Depp’s best role yet. You can visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace and see what others are saying in anticipation of this movie.
