The Phantom of NBC; When Art Imitates Life

posted by TBUGoth

This particular version of The Phantom of the Opera is set in Peter Pan’s London. As The Musical Peter Pan is almost 70 years old, The original creator of the Saint Joan opera is long dead, and thus the role of Phantom has been passed on to me. Thus, the Musical Peter Pan was stolen from me, along with my humanity, as Saint Joan was stolen, from Professor L. Petrie. It Starts with a beautiful Broadway 星, 星级 Mary Martin, (who is my Christine,) who drew in children with her performance of Peter Pan, Saint Joan of Arc pretending to be of the masculine gender with a dagger.

What I Would 爱情 to See in a Phantom Movie...and Why I'm Fairly Sure it Won't Happen

posted by housegrl32

I was watching the silent Lon Chaney version of "The Phantom of the Opera" earlier on TCM, and I began to do some pondering about the many Phantom movies.

When someone thinks of The Phantom of the Opera, often there are two iconic 图片 that will come to mind. One is the famous unmasking of Lon Chaney, rightfully recognized as one of the very iconic 图片 of not only horror, but of cinema itself. His face makeup is taken from the original novel's 描述 of Erik, as someone with a horrible deformity from birth that gives him a terrifying corpse-like appearance.

Why ALW fails at continuity

posted by Phantomess

A review of the libretto for Andrew Lloyd Webber's

the Phantom of the Opera in comparison with the

soundtrack for the 显示爱情 Never Dies. It is my

intention to go through the original script page

by page, making notations of all of the places

contradictions are apparent.

Right off the bat there is a rather

glaring error. In the libretto the stage

directions state that the auction at the beginning

of the 显示 is taking place in 1905. This is

rather interesting as LND is set in 1907. Even

disregarding the 年 as written, the auctioneer

TBUGoth's Analysis of "Love Never Dies"

posted by TBUGoth

I saw The Phantom of the Opera when I was 12, and I heard the Original 伦敦 Cast Recording of 爱情 Never Dies when I was 16. 由 then my life had gone through some MAJOR changes. For one thing, my Dad died 2.75 months after I saw The Phantom of the Opera on stage (believe it 或者 not) and my life was continuing to get worse, so my personality like the characters in "Love Never Dies" changed with life. What I'm trying to say is "Misery loves company" especially from close friends. When I was 13 I had read "The Phantom of Manhattan" so it was not a surprise to me when Christine died. :(!

The Phantom of the Opera (2004) Review

posted by deedragongirl

Christine and Erik, open up your mind!

Hi guys, since I had only done the stage review, here is the movie review that I will write.

The Story

While the story is exactly like the stage version, some songs were revise for logical reasons. A couple of them were shortened to avoid repetition, the ending with the elderly Raoul was added that is not feature in the stage version.

Music of the Night

As mentioned, many familiar songs are feature and are shortened. Originally, the Phantom (Erik in the original novel) has a new song which was written specially for this film. But it was omitted due to time constrain, it is feature on the Special Edition DVD.

The Characters

While watching this film, I keep thinking that this film is like Disney's Beauty and the Beast, with the exception of the ending which both the antagonist and protagonist did not die.

In All Your Fantasies

So, these are my thoughts on the film and enjoy it.

Stranger Than You Dream It.

The Phantom of the Opera: A Ghostly Review

Masquerade!

Hi everyone, it's been coming to 9 years since I watched the musical in Singapore. I have always want to write this review of the stage version since I had did a comparison on both the movie and stage version!

The Staging

I was stunned 由 the staging because it was such a spectacular, colourful and whimsical, I also like how each scenes represent dark & light throughout the musical. It was like bringing the realism of what it's like of Palais de Garnier, on which the story is set.
One of my major disappointments was that I did not sit in front where the dramatic chandelier came crashing...

Psychoanalysis of the Phantom of the Opera

posted by Phantomess

Illustration from Kay novel. He certainly looks depressed.

This 文章 shall pertain to the 'holy trinity' of Phantom. The Leroux, Kay, and Andrew Lloyd Webber versions. The basic idea is to look at each individual portrayal of the Phantom and ascertain approximately the extent of his mental deterioration and psychosis. I will also discuss the probable causes and catalysts for these behaviours.
This is 由 no means a full psychoanalysis, and in the long run is only meant to calm me down with some logical thinking after a very bad week. I.E. 你 don't have to like it 或者 agree with it.
I shall begin with Leroux since that is the original perception of...

Erik/Christine: An Analysis

最佳, 返回页首 10 reasons for why Erik/Christine doesn’t work.

Yes, I know I was supposed to 发布 my 爱情 Never Dies rant before, but… this is really to help me write it.

So, short story. Before coming on Fanfiction, I already knew that almost everyone on Earth were E/C shippers. But I was still shocked of seeing the ridiculous number of E/C authors, especially that there are very good ones among them. Now, I’m not being rude, it’s okay to like the E/C pairing (I guess…), but I’m just being really honest. I remember, when I entered the phandom, I was a mild R/C shipper (You know, “I prefer...

Genevieve’s Wish

(Child’s POV)

My name is Genevieve de Changy. I am five years old and want to be a doctor when I grow up. Papa is off on his naval ship, again, and Mama is at the Opera rehearsing. My Governess gave me this diary to help me with my penmanship. After this we sewed, (which is important for doing surgery,) then we took my sketchbook to the park, parc de l'île Saint-Germain, it is so pretty there when the sun is out!

Erik’s Existential Crisis

After Christine returned Erik his mask, she asked about his opera Don Juan Triumphant.
“You are 写作 an Opera?”
“It’s about Don Juan and his obsession with a beautiful woman.”
“You mean like Faust?
“Awww but It doesn’t end tragically for Don Jaun gets to live happily with his true love!

I am Just a Ghost

posted by TBUGoth

I have no name, my mother didn’t bother to give me one, I am just known as The Phantom. The young ballerinas of the Opera christened me that, and, it just fit. No human name ever fits me, maybe that's because I’ve never looked human so I’ve never felt human. It's 更多 than that though, I’ve never felt like a “Him” 或者 a “Her” I feel like a “Them” I guess 或者 an “It” but that’s too literal! A ghost must be mysterious and be able to disappear into the shadows of the darkness, into ambiguity. As a them I am alone! I want to marry a beautiful woman to prove to others I am...

After Erik (blurb and chapter one)

posted by Mirlotta

Paris, 1890, nine years after the events of 'The Phantom of the Opera'. Nine years in which all thoughts of Erik, the 天使 who'd once haunted her 日 and night had been cast aside, discarded like a broken doll. Nine years in which poor, sixteen 年 old Christine had grown up, grown up into a women of high reputation, with a handsome young husband and prospects of a child.

So much can change in nine years.

Yet it only takes a little to be hurled back into the past.

Chapter One :

Paris is host to a number of fine hospitals, all which produce many a fine baby from many a fine mother. It is a particular...

My review on 爱情 Never Dies - SPOILER ALERT!!

posted by Mirlotta

Well firstly, I'd like to say that I watched the Australian Cast Recording (not being lucky enough to see it in life) and the staging/costumes/set were superb! Really, in some scenes I felt as if I were looking at a real bar/circus/etc that one might go into on a weekend quite casually.
The 唱歌 was equally wonderful from most parties - I particularly enjoyed Ben Lewis as the Phantom, the 表演 mostly on the same level. However, I much prefer the songs of the original Phantom of the Opera.
And now for the plot. Christine, now married to the suddenly 苦 Raoul, and with a musically talented...

Christine kisses Erik, who pretends to fulfill a promise but tells a devastating lie. She agrees to marry him in the book, giving up HER dreams. her COMPASSION is her STENTGH. The book was about a women's right to marry who she chooses.

He can't save himself from Erik's torture chamber! The Persian was the first Arab character I saw post-9/11. He was heroic, intelligent,...

ALW film: The ending's meaning?

posted by bendaimmortal

There are various interpretations of why the old Raoul brings the monkey 音乐 box to her grave and some even think that all the old Raoul parts of the movie are completely useless. However, I'm one of those who believe that while the film would've worked perfectly well even without Raoul travelling anywhere with the 音乐 box, all the old Raoul clips are perhaps the most essential aspect of the entire film's basic point. I think they are the ultimate aspect that drastically differs the film from the stage play.

A monkey symbolizes many things that are strongly related to the story. Essential...

My Brutally Honest and Possibly Offensive Review of the 2004 Movie

I’m sitting 首页 sick from school with absolutely nothing better to do than write my (well, just read the title) review of the 2004 movie The Phantom of the Opera. Gerry phans and Patrick Wilson phans…I’d consider not 阅读 this.

爱情 Never Dies is not a sequel to the 2004 film

posted by bendaimmortal

I actually can't see it as a sequel to any version but especially not to the film. "The true feelings of Christine and the Phantom are revealed in LND!" I'm a die-hard E/C shipper but still I genuinely react with: Fuck no. Forgive me the strong phrasing but I 爱情 logic very much as well as the depth of their relationship which LND completely shits over.

Then someone comes saying LND isn't a sequel to the film but to ALW's PotO. But also that the film and the stage play are exactly the same thing. (Contradicting much?) Well, officially they are not exactly the same thing:

What Annoys Me About The Phantom of Manhattan 由 Frederick Forsyth

All of the Leroux-bashing:

In the Preface, Forsyth repeatedly points out errors in Leroux’s novel, most of which are trivial and pointless (OMG! He 说 the chandelier was heavier than it really was! Shun Leroux!). And he keeps pointing out how Andrew Lloyd Webber “fixed” the errors, which brings me to…

Thats all I ask of 你 lyrics

RAOUL
No 更多 talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard 你 and to guide you...

CHRISTINE
Say 你爱情 me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say 你 need me with 你 now and always...
Promise me that all 你 say is true
that's all I ask of you

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...

All I want is freedom,
a world with no 更多 night
and you, always...
