Little shop of horrors

...l health by his blood. The plant wins him everything he could want, respect, love and money. The main plot of little shop of Horrors revolves around Seymour, he is a person wants respect from his boss and he also wants to make a little money. Many people with whom Seymour comes into contact with take care of him and at the same time take advantage of him. Smith did a good job in playing the part of Seymour. Seymour is a tense person who never truly grew up. The way Smith walked as Seymour was with closed legs and quick steps. The energy of the walk pushed up from the middle of the back and carried him along. Many rhythm and movement of Seymour was sharp and jilted. His full body movement including hands and torso seemed incomplete and almost ashamed. Seymour's facial expressions were somewhat twisted and looked constrained. His eyes were wide open the eyebrows were high and the mouth was tense, his head of Seymour was down and pointed toward the ground. The volume of Seymour's voice was loud and projected somewhat far, his tone pitch was high and squeaky; because of this feature it gives smith a fit for his role. The overall quality of the voice was by far not the best. He is someone with whom you could only speak with for a short amount of time.

Matt Smith did a good job of slipping into the role of Seymour. The character is an uptight person that has a lot of psychological and emotional problems. There are one only way to fool an audience and that is to erase suspicion from their mind. For instance, if the audience is suspecting that you are acting then suddenly believability its already lost. I was able to pick up very small clues Smith use to evoke the character of Seymour, he would play with his glasses like Seymour would. He would also scratch his face and squint his eyes. This is what I would think Seymour would do subconsciously. Many of the reactions of Seymour in some of the scene were understandable. When Audrey II wanted to be feed for the first time Seymour was surprised to find out that the plant wanted blood instead of plant food. Another reaction that is understandable is when people wanted him on television for plant shows. Seymour reacted with surprise at first only to turn down the opportunity's knowing that what he was truly doing feeding the plant was wrong. The overall effectiveness of Smith performance was very excellent. I had little doubt in believing that he was not Seymour. From ...
