Final assignment!!
[ Stupid module ]
I am rushing for my final assignment now. Problem is, I don't know how to do it. I am very stuck in it right now. Maybe I should just heck care and do it the way I interpret. This module is supposedly very helpful for my teaching. But I don't know how to do the bloody final assignment.
Anyway, I should get back to it. Just blogged to complain and procrastinate awhile. And also to upload another Johnny Depp's song in Sweeney Todd..."No place like London". A song that is sang by Johnny Depp and 'Anthony'(don't know what's his real name) right at the start of the movie. NICE! Heh:)
P/S: Photos to be uploaded in the next entry...from the Settlers cafe that I went with dear and RBG:)

Quite gross but I like it
[My current favourite movie: Sweeney Todd]
Yeah...I know you will say I like the movie because I like Johnny Depp. That is true:) But it's also cos' I like the songs in the movie. I mean, Johnny Depp sang inside ok? Not only him but all the characters...because it's a musical ma!
Duh. *Rolls eyes*
The movie is gross cos' Johnny aka. Sweeney kills alot of people inside and it is shown clearly how he slits his victims' throat. *Eck*
However, I still personally feel Johnny Depp is a good singer. Cos' he really portrayed Sweeney's sorrow, longing for his daughter and missing his wife, pain, wronged and vengeance in his singing. Call me biased if you want. You can be the judge. Listen to this excerpt from the movie from my imeem. Below is the lyrics to show you which is the part that Johnny Depp sang:
Anthony:
I feel you Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
Johanna
Sweeney Todd:
And are you beautiful and pale,with yellow hair,like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale
The way I've dreamed you were
Johanna
Anthony:
Johanna
Sweeney Todd:
And if you're beautiful, what then,
With yellow hair, Like wheat?
I think we shall not meet again
My little dove
My sweet
Johanna
Anthony:
I'll steal you
Johanna
Sweeney Todd:
Good-bye Johanna
You're gone and yet you're mine
I'm fine
Johanna
I'm fine
Anthony:
Johanna
Beggar Woman:
Smoke!Smoke!
Sign of the Devil!
Sign of the Devil!
C'iy on fire!
Witch!A witch!Smell that Sir?
An evil smell!
Ev’ry night at the Vesper’s Bell!
Smoke that comes from the mouth of Hell!
C'iy on fire!C'iy on fire!
Mischief!Mischief!Mischief!
Sweeney Todd:
And if I never hear your voice,
My turtle dove,My dear
I still have reason to rejoice,
The way ahead is clear
Johanna
Anthony (same time as Mr.Todd [below]):
I feel you Johanna
Sweeney Todd:
And in the darkness
When I'm blind with what I can't forget
It's always morning in my mind
My little lamb
My pet Johanna
You stay Johanna
(Anthony: Johanna)
The way I've dreamed you are
Oh look Johanna
A star
(Anthony: Buried sweetly in your yellow hair)
A shooting star
Beggar Woman:
There!There!
Somebody!Somebody!Look up there!
Didn't I tell you?
Smell that air!
C'iy on fire!
Quick! Sir!Run and tell!
More and more like a witch's spell!
There it is!There it is!The unholy smell!
Tell it to the Beadle, and police as well!
Tell 'em!Tell 'em!
Help!Please!
C'iy on fire!C'it on fire!
Mischief! Mischief!
Sweeney Todd:
And though I'll think of you, I guess
Until the day I die
I think I miss you less and less
As everyday goes by
Johanna
Anthony:
Johanna
Sweeney Todd:
And you'd be beautiful and pale
And look too much like her
If only angels could prevail
We'd be the way we were
Johanna
Anthony:
I feel you Johanna
Sweeney Todd:
Wake up, Johanna
Another bright red day
We learn Johanna
To say
Good-bye
Anthony:
I'll steal you
*******************************
Please don't be dumb and ask me which is the part Johnny Depp sang...HE IS ACTING AS SWEENEY TODD. What do you think?
Anyway, this excerpt is near the climax where he killed alot of people...including the villain and his most beloved wife. Johanna is Sweeney's daughter, and cos' Sweeney lost contact with his daughter (you have to watch the movie to know why, I am not going to say it here).
I personally feel it is a brilliant movie cos' the casting is really good. Even Alan Rickman (for those of you who don't know who he is, he is Professor Snape from Harry Potter) is inside! Heh, he is a very good actor and I simply have a soft spot for good actors and actresses. Actually the rest of the cast are good as well, including Helena(who act as Bellatrix in Harry Potter). I personally find the judge so hateful(thanks to Alan's brilliant acting). And I really felt sorry for Sweeney even though he is the killer:( (Johnny Depp really portrayed the agony and hate Sweeney felt well).
I simply love it when Johnny Depp and Tim Burton work together in a movie:) My favourite actor and director together:) Heh. Quite a treat for a movie fanatic like me. Well, if you are not scared of gross movies(you know, gore, blood, goth) and like musicals, go watch it! It's really worth it.
I also want to watch Fann Wong's movie leh! Shit la, I am going to be sooo broke:(
Anyway, I wish all of you a Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! :)
