Of Manchester, Rome and Fleet street!

I would like to start this post with the vital information, that I, am a movie fanatic. Not any arbit movie, but movies with good stories and enthralling visuals. A day or two ago, I was(as were millions of other United fans) watching the United - Roma game . It was fantastic to see the awesome depth in our squad and the fact that we had Cristiano Ronaldo completely rested and raring to be unleashed against the Arsenal. If you're wondering why I'm talking about my allegiance to Manchester United, let me explain that, I, like every other united fan, am subject to abrupt and absurd mood swings, which in every way are completely related to Manchester United's form and results.
Now back to the original topic. After seeing United defeat Roma over 2 legs, and seeing United through to the semis for the second year running had given me a high similar to the high induced by perhaps a capsule of MET. In this uberconscious state, I decided at 0300 hrs in the morning, to finally watch a movie that I had been long postponing.
That movie, was Sweeney Todd, The Demon barber of Fleet Street. Now I don't think I am a movie critic. If I was, I'd be waxing eloquent about this movie, because it does enthrall you for most part. I recommend everyone watch it. It's gripping and sometimes grotesque. But the lead character played by Johnny Depp reaches out so well, you actually identify with all the inhuman acts he performs to gain his vengeance on the villain. Also the fact that it is a musical helps.
I rest with the following verse from the movie:
"There's a hole in the world like a big black pit,
filled with people who're filled with shit,
the vermin of the world inhabit it,
there's no place like London."

I like London and this verse does not reflect my opinion of the city. However during the entire course of the movie I actually thought of it that way and completely agreed when the protagonist sang:
"There's a hole in the world like a big black pit,
filled with people who're filled with shit,
the vermin of the world inhabit it,
but not for long."
