...Burton takes a purchase on our more elevated emotions by showing the source of Sweeney's rage. Fifteen years earlier he was a sweet young man, named Benjamin Barker. His beloved wife and young daughter were ripped from him by the evil Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), who exiled him to Australia. So Sweeney is a romantic tragic figure; he has fallen from a great height -off the cloud of his belief that love can last forever. Now he knows better, and throws himself into this amorality play. It's man devouring man, vengeance destroying ideals...

Which begs the question: Is justice blind or just blinding...
...deal with the angst they feel at being captive. (If you raise one eyebrow skeptically, I won’t hold it against you.) 2. Any art Cosimo Cavallaro creates. Last Easter, the man who once covered an entire house with string cheese finished “My Sweet Lord,” a 200-pound dark chocolate depiction of Jesus Christ. 200 pounds of dark chocolate! That could have been eaten and released all sorts of good hormones, good feelings, and good will into the world. Instead, the chocolate Jesus (or, more specificically, its bared penis), engendered death threats...
