Nice elaborating.
Why wouldn't you see that sort of movie? Is not gore part of every story, is it not reality? It is an unavoidable part of all things, but perhaps cannot be accepted if one is not, shall we say, attuned to it (and by the same means, reality, I suppose...).
Thanks for the help with understanding the tale's plot, in the least.
A point. And an interesting one, indeed.
I think by 'blood', one such person often intends gore, however. Though it is just as illogical, really. With it an intertwined bloodline of all things, the Graphic Element is existence directly.
(On a different note [with this the 30th anniversary and all], is not a "Darkside Jedi" a contradiction?)
IN case anyone is unsure of what it is about...it's about a barber who decides he wants to take revenge on London (forget why exactly...) so he starts slitting people's throats in his barber shop...then the romantic female lead starts baking his victims into pies...if I remember correctly.
It's a musical thriller..which is rare. No one thought it would work but it did wonderfully and a recent revival was a huge success.
It's Stephen Sondheim...he's a genious.
It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's going to be beautiful in Tim Burton's twisted hands.

Thanks much for an explanation. Oddly a rather vast majority of commentators thus far seem to be interested in blind sighted opinion, rather than any constructive or purposeful comment.
Yes, that was the main plot as I understand it as well. One thing I am not sure of as of yet, however, is the role of Alan Rickman's character, Judge Turpin, in the plot. Any idea as to the involvement, or degree of which, there?
Indeed, I agree. The stories supposed violence seems detested by many apparently, but the Grand Vision of Tim Burton is unfailing, and that violence is a, somewhat delicate, tool to craft, and be crafted into, the tale... considering it has never failed him before, after all.
I was watching this trailer and at first it was kind of interesting, not great, then when Depp started singing I almost spit out my soda. Looks horrible, not gonna come near a theater that's showing it. I like Depp and I really liked Sleepy Hollow, which is stylistically similar to this, but this looks like crap. Sorry... just my opinion.
