Sweeny Todd

The movie we chose was Sweeny Todd. There are many factors that can contribute to how characters can represent darkness. In Sweeny Todd, the dialogue and lyrics in the movie was very depressing and evil. It always talked about having revenge, and killing, and how no body deserved to live. Their physical appearance was also big because it gave you an idea of what kind of character they were from the first time you saw them. For example, the dark long clothes, the hair, their pale skin, their dark make up, and above all the seriousness and anger on their faces, especially, during or while they were committing the murders. You can also tell that they were bad by the way they were put in their setting. When they were on a nice bright beach, or on a boardwalk in the sun, they would still have a unique look to them that just called out evil. A character can also represent darkness by the actions that they perform.
