Normally, in titles like these you should let the title do the talking. For the musical drama fanatics who can bear with the "monotonous" dialogues of a motion picture, this should be the movie my friends. Originally written by Stephen Sondheim as a musical drama and recreated by Tim Burton as a movie for the big screen.
Judge Turpin, who lusts the incredibly beautiful wife of a barber named Benjamin Barker devises a way to have her for himself by convicting Benjamin and sending him in an exile over a crime he did not commit. Eventually, as expected even though not desired, Judge Turpin takes in the wife with her child and convinces them to live with him or live in the streets. Naturally, it was a hard bet. At this point, The Judge is the only one who would think his "happily ever after" has been fulfilled.
After roughly fifteen years of disappearance, Benjamin Barker comes back as Sweeney Todd, and it does not take much time to be "the demon barber" of the street. He even meets a beautiful lady who cooks literally "The worst pies in London". She is very hospitable and offers him her precious pies and a cool drink while being completely oblivious to the man's real identity. After acquainting the man a little more through her "insect killing" pies our Demon Barber finally reveals his true goal to her, partly in desperation and partly in trust. She then in return leads him to his nostalgic old barber shop, in which there are the special marked razors of our beloved barber, the ones he famously used as Benjamin Barker. Now the familiar touch of the handle and the blade had made him remember his painful memories of his exile, which only amplifies the fire to achieve his ultimate goal- To finish of Judge Turpin once and for all.
After getting his fire stoked a little more, getting a beautiful lady and getting back his razors he goes on a journey to get his daughter back. But he should hurry and eliminate the Judge as he has decided to marry his daughter too! So, will Sweeny Todd get a highly known and protected judge? Will he be able to get his daughter away from his lustful clutches? How is he planning to become the Demon Barber after all? Will he be able to achieve anything at all with pies and razors? The screen will tell how will go into an exile this time, this time forever, to the other side.
