One of my favorite Johnny Depp movies was Sweeney Todd. Sweeney Todd is the movie and Benjamin Barker the character he plays in the movie. Prisoned un-justly in Australia, he is all out for revenge of those whom have done him wrong. In 19th century London, Benjamin Barker (Depp) opens a barber shop upstairs from Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), a baker of special meat pies; theirs is a sinister relationship. The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is out for the revenge of his family and he is going to get them one by one with the help of dear Mrs. Lovett, who helps dispose of the bodies by making pies with them, and everyone loves Mrs. Lovetts pies.

Benjamin Barker returned as Sweeney Todd The demon Barber of Fleet St, when he seeks the revenge on the good old Judge he goes into a slashing frenzy and sends him down the well constructed chute he has made at the end of his Barbers Chair for Mrs Lovett’s main ingredient for pie.

After15 years across the world on trumped up charges in an Australian prison from his family, the sinister Judge Turpin(Alan Rickman) takes Todds family as his own. His wife committed suicide after being violated by the judge, and keeping the teenage daughter of Todd for his trophy lady to be. Sweeney Todd the straight razor wielding barber is a slash of a barber and his competition is the smooth handed Signor Adolfo Pirelli. The Signor is soon slashed at the hand of Todd and one by one they become pie. Johnny Depp continues to take on challenging roles like his most recent role in Alice in Wonderland. While success appears to come easily one thing he may never have to worry about is hair loss because as he has gotten older from his 21 Jumpstreet days his hair seems to be getting better which is not true for most men. I am looking forward to seeing what role he will take on next.
