The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera

  • Beautiful, dramatic, thrilling, unforgettable.

    I'd only heard about the musical but other than a masked man, I didn't know the story or the songs. I was gripped from the very beginning with the sets, the story and, of course, the gorgeous, rich music. Loved Christine and Raoul and the Phantom.

    Christine's physical beauty is pure and her character so trusting and loyal. The strong animal magnetism of the Phantom is too much for her to resist yet as he slides faster towards his doom and threatens everyone around him, she still feels empathy for him to the end. I loved the clarity of her voice as she sang the signature songs.

    I've seen the film 3 times now and listened to the CD's numerous times. The songs spin around in my head and the imagery is still vivid in my memory. I took my 23-year-old daughter, who's not a big moviegoer, to see the film with me on my second viewing and she was equally mesmerized by the beauty of the film and is a devotee!!

  • Intriguing plot, intense acting

    The plot is timely and intriguing, providing lots of food for thought as to the perhaps not-too-far future prospects of technology and our own legacies.

    I agree the relationship between Williams' character and his love interest was too sketchy. With a few extra minutes expanding on those two, the film might have been more fleshed out. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. It really gave us pause to reflect on the pros and cons of the "Zoe Implant" and "rememories." Appreciated the intense acting abilities of Williams and Caviezel; otherwise, the movie might have lagged even more.

    I thought the angles of the camera shots were interesting.
