Sweeny Todd
I am a self-proclaimed Johnny Depp fan. He is the one man I would do almost anything for. I know I try to see every movie that contains Johnny. Actually its more than movies, I try to find things like trying to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site. From what I have read, this is one of those great revenge movies.
So it got me thinking of other great revenge scenes from movies past. Does “My name is Inigo Montoya (don’t know how to spell the name), you killed my father, prepare to die” sound familiar to anyone? If you don’t know, my husband would be very, very disappointed in you. According to him, its in one of the best movies ever made “The Princess Bride.” The scene I am talking about is when Inigo finally finds the six fingered man who killed his father. The six fingered man scarred Ingio for life, with one slash on each cheek.
The entire movie, he keeps saying this to random people trying to find the killer to exact revenge. He does at the castle and a sword fight ensues. Ingio gets a knife in his stomach and is stabbed with the sword in both shoulders. But then, he gets the upper hand in the fight. He attacks the six fingered man, stabbed him in the stomach and both shoulders. He also slashes both cheeks, just as the six fingered man did to him. The six fingered man says to Ingio that he will give him whatever he wants and before the six fingered man dies, Ingio says ”I want my father back you son of a b*****!”
Sweeney Todd’s premise is built on revenge. As in the Princess Bride, it is do onto others. Sweeney is unjustly sent to prison so when he gets out he sets out for revenge on all the injustices that have befallen him. It sounds like a great movie. I mean who can play crazy better than Johnny?
