It seems to have become a habit , i along with a friend of mine went to watch the movie last Friday. I hadn't read any reviews and so had no idea what it was about.The motivation was just the trailer i saw the previous week while watching Jumper(as i said seems to have become a habit). Just a chance to watch Depp and Helena was a good enough reason to pack up work and fight for the tickets (No animals or nearly animal humans were harmed i swear!!!).
And so i found myself in Victorian England staring at a very dark Depp staring at his destination and then he started singing and i knew i was in for something different, something on the lines of the movie about the life of Argentina's(?) ex-First Lady. Then as the movie moved on i thought it was something like a Shakespearean play where each character introduced has some part to play in creating the end, there were 7 and they did just that. A film about vengeance clouding all senses and for that matter love clouding all judgement. And after the movie finished just one thought hit my mind, 'No one else could have pulled it off other than Depp and Carter'. The ending was hmm.. say poetic justice(wow!! the fiction classes kicking in some part of my brain).All in all enjoyed a different genre of film, (i think i read somewhere that it was an adaptation of the darkest play ever!) and Burton makes the story look alive, it won an Oscar too, can't remember which category.
And so i left humming ...
'Once there was a Barber and his wife .......'
