*HEART ATTACK* MICHAEL MANN??? MICHAEL MANN?
*GASP*
Ok I'm dying right now. I'm friends with this girl. I don't want to say her full name on the net but let me say that she is a "Van Peebles" and if you just look up "Mario Van Peebles" on IMDB you'll see who he is (scroll down to number 18 on the list of things he has DIRECTED to get a nice surprise) and he's best friends with Michael Mann. That's so exciting! *faints*
As for Sweeney Todd. I saw it twice since it came out. Is it wrong that I found Johnny sexy with dark circles under his eyes and covered in blood? It probably is! But who cares. Sweeney Todd made me laugh, cry, hope and swoon. I basically felt every emotion.
The singing! Gosh now I can listen to his voice whenever I want. True that none of the actors were particularly trained to sing but both Helena and Johnny's voices were amazingly powerful. When he was singing "My Friends" I got chills (especially since it's the only time a glimpse of Johnny's own voice comes across) and I nearly LMAO when Helena was singing "By The Sea"
It was magical.
*Runs off singing "I must get esquire"*
