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.

To the person who wrote this:
Do you realise how offensive your moniker is?
No, you probably don't.
I know that the use of the word "gay" to denote things that are stupid or pretentious is common usage. But, just because everyone is doing does not make it right or acceptable.
Please refrain in future from this practice on a site that is frequented by a number of people who will be offended by it.
Point two:
"It's not supposed to be a damn opera. It's a film. A film consists of ACTORS, not opera singers."
Actors are supposed to convincingly portray the characters they are playing. If they are playing Opera singers they should be believable as Opera Singers.
If you can say no more to counter Ardjoena's arguments than "Ardjoena is gay", then perhaps you need to ask yourself this little question. Do you think Phantom is good because you have used ALL your critical faculties to find it without fault, or are you just being a pathetic little fanboy.
If the former then by all means add to the discussion with some more reasoned and thought out posts.
If not...
Then you "shut the hell up"
