Phantom of the Opera

Last April 13, We watched the movie "Phantom of the Opera" for our EEP Class at the AVR. Our Last film showing for this class.


I was able to watch this my own, when I watched it, I was so amazed. The flow of the show is really good, I love their voice, since I also love music and I love singing. As you may have surmised from the title, it is filmed at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which is enormous and beautiful and perfect for this production. The set is gorgeous as well, leaving room for a large live orchestra onstage, along with an enormous cast and flawless costumes. The entire time I was watching it I just kept thinking about how amazing it would have been to see it in person. Aside from the never-ending beautiful voices singing on the movie that as I was not able to take my eyes off the screen, the story itself is fascinating. There’s a drag when the movie is starting to get boring there will be some comedic moments. Known as the Phantom who is a deformed genius who escaped from a freak show, and was presumed dead, but that he still lives somewhere in the Opera House, fell in love with a singer named Christine. Unfortunately for him, Christine met her childhood sweetheart Raoul and they fell in love. The Phantom decided to kidnap and imprison her because of the thought that by doing such, Christine will love him back. But life is not such kind of a thing. I strongly believe that someone is destined to be yours. Someone who will appreciate all your efforts. Someone you love, and will love you back.




At the end, Andrew Lloyd Webber appeared, thanked the creatives, remembered the deceased, and was otherwise supremely awkward. They came on and sang 'The Music of the Night'. Michael Crawford was there, but didn't sing. Sarah Brightman arrived and sang the title song with the accumulated Phantoms. I think she was lip-synching. Nevertheless, the original musical is absolutely gorgeous as it is the best production I’ve discovered yet.
