The Phantom of the Opera

After getting the movie, The Phantom of the Opera, for my birthday last May, I have been completely obsessed with it. I love the songs, and I sing them basically all the time. The costumes and different shots enhances its coolness, and the storyline is really cool. With all these, this movie is one of the best movies ever.

Although I don't know if the actors sing their own parts, the singers are very talented singers. Their beautiful voices make the songs memorable and fun to sing. In the movie, they sing very well, but when I listened to the soundtrack of the play, it did not sound as good as the movie I thought. There is also Carlotta, who doesn't sing as good as the others. Her voice is somewhat shocking to the other terrific ones, but the singer has got to be good to sing so horribly.

The movie is very colorful with all its costumes. The colors and what they wear shows the mood of the scene very well. In the song, "Think of Me," Christine, the main female character, is in a very pretty white dress, showing her innocence. But then a few minutes later during "Phantom of the Opera," her dress changes dramatically. Her makeup is heavier, showing that the phantom makes her feel differently. Definitely not innocent.

The play/movie is about an opera house that is haunted by the "Opera Ghost", the phantom. His face is deformed on one side, so he wears a mask to hide his hideousness. When Christine comes to the opera house, he falls in love with her, and trains her to sing beautifully. Throughout the play, he tries to get Christine to love him for who he really is, instead of what he looks like. But his heart is deformed just like his face is, and he is completely obsessed with her. This makes the movie interesting because you wonder what is going to happen with them, and if the phantom will become good or if he will triumph.

Overall, it is an awesome movie. I loved it the first time I saw it, and I have watched it many times after that. I never get tired of it. ^^
