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.

Listen up, ardjoene,
I just wish that I had some duck tape and you infront of me so then I could wrap it neatly over your mouth. It is not in me to be so crazed about such a dis about this film. I really REALLY enjoyed it and I apologize if I acted a little to abruptly when I first read the comment. But, firstly, some things to take in account.
Damn! Lol. I was just searching Google on Phantom of the Opera (Am going to see the actual at Her Majesty's Theatre in weeks to come after seeing the film and doing a perfomance last year - I was Christine)... then I suddenly searched around and saw fantabulous comments about the film and suddenly THIS! It just disgusts me... I don't mean to be too rash or unkind, but really, ardjoena, if you hate the film to hell and back, then why be so obsessed about how badly the actors sang in your little screwed up head!
The music was what MADE the film - including all the set designs, costumes, etc. If you were right here, I'd kick you to oblivion for not even saying anything about how wonderful the props and stage were! Maybe you are caught back in your old age (screwing people who are younger than you - I beg you not to take that as an insult - it would only make me laugh)... stop attracting attention because there ARE people who really enjoyed the film!! And if you go around saying and repeating how much you hate it, you're just going to aggravate the HELL out of them and I assure you, I am not over-reacting!
Gerald Butler... *sigh* what more can I say? Man, I was more bewitched by him than the Tenor that played the Phantom in the Phantom perfomance I was in. He is a BAND singer - get that in your head - a BAND singer!! He only had a spare of time to learn and GOD - he was good!!
I am just trying to give you a word of advice, stop just focusing on the negative side! There are many positive things to focus on instead, they don't all just consist of the bad things from hell. Negative things will just eat up your mind (though that may not make any difference for you - seeing as in how you seem to be obsessed about something you detest)!! Lol... perhaps that should be taken by everyone but I am pointing at you, ardjoene...
Warm regards (though I might be in the state of murdering you at the moment),

PS. Don't take things so personally - I am not a very secretive person - my mind rules me. And, I don't care about some of the errors or repeatables - I mean, Lol... English is my second language and I am not an essay fluency machine! I only just started my GCSE's and that may let myself be known as an outspoken controlled freak but be glad you don't know me in real life because I'd probably be beating you up at your doorstep! (That, too, was not to be taken personally) but if you try and fight back with me, that would make me continue and God's how I would not wish for that nonsense, though it takes the sun to fall on me to make me stop a fight. I usually end up killing the other person... (joke) Though you are too old to understand the mind of a teenage mental girl :D
