The Phantom of the Opera

tesoro by tesoroOG 2001 · Jun 20, 2005 · 56 views

I know this movie was in theatres quite a while ago now, but it just came out on DVD. I absolutely love this movie. I have not seen a ton of Broadway Plays but out of the 5 or so, this was hands down, the best musical. What I thought was so great about the movie was that it totally did justice to the play. Every wonderful song was incorporated into the movie in full, and I thought it was just as moving as the play was. Plus the fact was that there is so much more room for amazing set designs in a movie. I loved the phantom's "lair". I think my favorite part of the movie was the last scene down there...it made me cry! Have a lot of you seen The Phantom? Love it?

My sister watches it every other day. Before it came out she was obsessed with just listening to her CD from the show. Never seen it.

i loved it. i've seen the play a few times and really enjoyed the movie. like you said it did justice to the play and just gave you a deeper look.

I was spoiled seeing michael crawford and davis gaines as the phatom, and sarah brightman as christine, but i thought this cast was great. awesome job.

the lair....OMG...dug it and i agree the ending always gets me too!
