Phantom of the Opera movie
Sun, 26 Dec 2004, 10:33 pmWhat I can say is that the movie is fairly directed. The music is marvellous but apparently its been casted with worst singers ever. Overall the phantom is the worst singer with the most unmusical voice i've ever heard in my life. There is nothing scary about his voice, except that he occasionally try to sound like a toad which isnt working for me. The christine role sounds like another version of sarah brightman, those who try to substitute acting and musicality with divaism. I dont see why the phantom accuse the diva carlotta for being bad in acting although she is moderately very good for me except the fact that she have to use that wagnerian slide up. There is nothing interesting about the vocal color of the singers. All of them sounds like puppies singing dead songs. It sounds more like karaoke rather than a good singing. I could tolerate christine and raoul but not the phantom; he is a crime.
It's very irritating to see how they abuse such musical masterpiece. I expect the movie to be at least comparable to normal local musicals but its far worse than that. I doubt if actually christine would actually be heard if she sang that aria in a real theater. It is total humiliation for opera singers that the movie uses such incompetent singer to compare with opera singers. I think even thought it is a musical; they should at least put at least a bit of operatic voice in christine because she is an opera singers in the story for goodness sake. Her voice is dead and lack of expression; its just beautiful and doesnt not resonate. The music is touching thanx to the composer of the music, but relying on the musicality of the composer is but showing the sign of a dead performer. THe least for human to be is to be a singing machine. 'such thing is the most cruel thing one can ever do' Felix Mendelssohn.

I believe we do not live in George Orwell's 1984 and everyone are entitled to their decisions. What really matter is what us, the individuals, think and what really happens is no concern. So whether Phantom of the Opera movie goes popular or not or get hundreds of emmy or golden globe or any award or not is none of my concern and none of my right to protest.
I believe thats the difference between an opinion/critic and anti movement. Nevertheless entertainment are always valued based on its popularity amongst the mass even though thats not exactly the thing entertainers would like to do. Hence, a successful movie speaks for itself and no matter how good or how bad it is in our eyes it has nothing to do with what others think. If really people hate phantom because of me then people are being unoriginal and can't decide whats good and not good for them. Whether we are living in a society where we are programmed to think the way people say or to reflect upon a certain review and take it into account and prove the validity with their own eyes. Critics is the base of democracy and that it is the external force that works in this system to make itself into a more reflexive mechanism that benefits everyone. The purpose of a written opinion is to raises issues that might have any interest for others so taht they can validate a certain issue and therefore gain more perspective. I hope no one is offended. I hope people get what opinions are and the line when opinion became abusive. I did used some words that might've abused some people and well, its another new thing to learn.
