Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
 
兩年前的電影了,記得當時看完電影就說要買原聲帶
結果一直到了前天才終於如願....
其實要不是最近HBO一直播,至少又重看了兩遍,
或許我也沒有機會想起對這個故事的著迷

「瘋狂理髮師」改編自百老匯經典同名音樂劇
我發現有不少人覺得這是個恐怖片(尤其是女生?)
說實話一開始上映的時候,我也不知道這是部音樂劇電影
反而對音樂劇沒有興趣的人,想必會是有些失望吧?
不過如果因此讓一些人感受到音樂劇的魅力,
也不失為一次成功的誘拐吧 =P

關於故事的部分,簡單來說就是一個關於"復仇"的故事
在這邊放雷並沒有太大的意義,就不贅述了;
有個很吸引人的地方是,電影裡所有的歌曲都是演員自己的歌聲;
我覺得製作人的這段話,清楚的說明了此劇的獨特魅力

「【瘋狂理髮師】無疑是50年來最偉大的百老匯劇，
但它成為經典的真正原因是，它除了包含謀殺和殘害等情節，
還有失去的愛。這個故事結合最暴力和最溫柔的衝動。由於這
些元素的衝擊，產生無法抵抗的巨大力量。」

小剪一段我最喜歡的對唱(Pretty Women):
理髮師陶德的仇人,法官托賓(艾倫瑞克曼=史內卜教授)就坐在他的刮鬍台上
閃亮的剃刀隨著優美的旋律,不斷的滑過咽喉
兩人優美的歌聲伴隨著緊繃的氣氛....

如果你對音樂劇有興趣,
血腥卻又如此浪漫的Sweeney Todd
會是一次令你一生難忘的美好經驗

so, let's shave?

Now then my friend.
Now to your purpose.
Patience. Enjoy it.
Revenge can't be taken in haste.

Judge Turpin
Make haste and if we wed you'll be commended sir

Sweeney Todd
My lord.
And who may it be said is your intended sir?

Judge Turpin
My ward.
And pretty as a rose bud

Sweeney Todd
Pretty as her mother?

Judge Turpin
Hmm? What was that?

Sweeney Todd(spoken)
Nothing sir. Nothing.
(sung)
Pretty women
Fascinating...
Sipping coffee,
Dancing...
Pretty women
Are a wonder.
Pretty women,

Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them chills the air.
Pretty women

Judge Turpin
Silhouetted...

Sweeney Todd
Stay within you,

Judge Turpin
Glancing...

Sweeney Todd
stay forever,

Judge Turpin
Breathing lightly...

Sweeney Todd
Pretty women,

Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd(together and alternating)
Pretty women!

Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair,
Combing out their hair then they leave
Even when they leave you and vainish they somehow can still can remain there with you
Even when they leave
They still are there.
They're there
Ah! Pretty women,

Sweeney Todd
At their mirrors,

Judge Turpin
In their gardens,

Sweeney Todd
Letter-writing,

Judge Turpin
Flower-picking,

Sweeney Todd
Weather-watching.

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin
How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven as you're living,
Pretty women! Sir, pretty women!
Yes pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women
