    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The doll in the Phantom's lair that is supposed to resemble Emmy Rossum is not actually a wax mold. It is Emmy Rossum. The production produced a mask of her face to use on the mannequin but when they put in the fake eyes it didn't look like her. She suggested to stand in as the mannequin instead. This was done by her being made up like a doll with waxy makeup on, and her standing very, very still.
    • Goofs
      When Raoul is on his way down the stairs to the Phantom's lair, he falls through a hole, down into a pit of water. Iron bars then lower from above, but since Raoul fell straight down into the water, it would be impossible for the bars to be there.
    • Quotes

      [as he leads Christine down the tunnels of the opera]

      The Phantom: [sings] Sing once again with me our strange duet. / My power over you grows stronger yet. / And though you turn from me to glance behind, / The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind.

    8/10
    Musical Blockbuster!
    A great musical spectacular of a scale not seen since the fantastic Chicago a year ago.

    If you only know the main Phantom theme tune, you will quickly learn to love the other beautiful tunes throughout this film.

    I had never seen the stage show, nor knew the story before seeing this film, so everything that happened was a surprise including the wonderful ending.

    Take a tissue or two with you as it's sad...I won't say any more about that.

    The ONLY thing that slightly annoyed me during the film was that the solo musical numbers were not perfectly in sync to the person singing it and it spoilt the illusion that the person was actually singing it and not just miming.

    Nevertheless, one of the best films of the entire year, and I've seen a lot of films! An easy 8/10 vote for me.
