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 never figured out that ardjoena is a male! WowEEeee!! God's almighty - I am pretty flabbergusted and that explain his obsession with the Phantom. Look, if you are there masturbating about the Phantom, please, oh, please, at least say something nice about him. I would detest the thought of someone having secret wet dreams and hating the victim of their fantasy sex hunt."
Yes, Erika, because we wouldn't want anyone to say anything negative in a review now would we? We don't want critics being critical do we? Let's all jump on and rubbish someone for giving a harsh review of something so that we can fill the website with nice, uplifting, meaningless fluff in the reviews column so that no-one's favourite play or film gets reviewed negatively.
That's ok Erika, I understand how much it must hurt to have your small little mind strained by the concept that other people might not think the same way as you. It really is a big concept to grasp, and maybe you'd be better off just rejecting it, and insulting anyone who criticises something you like.
One 'might' suggest that your name indicates that you may be a tad biased on the subject of Phantom of the Opera. Some 'might' even say obsessed, dangerously deluded or somewhat deranged. And it was very rude of Ardjoena to criticise the film when it obviously holds so much emotional and psychological importance to you and is probably the only thing stopping you from emarking on a pathological murderous rampage. Again, it really is quite a difficult task to come to grips with the idea that not everyone loves your favourite film, and that people can have good reason for not sharing your taste - I really think you shouldn't try to think about that too hard, just stick to using the word 'phantom' somewhere in your name, using profanity on internet forums and harassing anyone who disagrees with you, it's much easier and more satisfying.
[my apologies to people who aren't used to my being so vehement in posts - the homophobia in this thread really bugged me, and the stupidity of the postings hasn't exatcly helped my mood:-)]
