Ah, the wholesome, feel good movie where Jack Sparrow, Bellatrix Lestrange, Severus Snape and Peter Pettigrew gather around and have some meat pie. 🍖 💜
“I love how she has his best interests at heart.” Oh dear 😂
In the musical, it's implied the Toby lost his mind after finding out, and when he slits Todd's throat, Anthony arrives with the police and Joanna, they see everything and Toby just goes to the grinder and starts doing what Mrs. Lovett taught him. That's how it ends. Then there's an epilogue where all the characters reappear to warns us that revenge is bad but everyone does it.
i absolutely love this film, JD admitted he was so nervous for this role because he was insecure about his singing but i absolutely love the rasp in his voice. it leans into him being just a normal man who is heartbroken from the world that did him wrong. you just keep wishing for all the pieces to fall in place for him
When they said the Judge "transported him for life," that means he was sent to Australia on a life sentence.
A great scorched earth revenge tale. Barker died (not literally) when his life was stolen from him. He nearly died again sailing back to London from Australia, but he was rescued from drowning. He's fueled by revenge and nothing else. And yes, he knows Toby is behind him at the end and raises his throat to help. "We all deserve to die."
