The Phantom of the Opera

If you are a fan of the opera, then maybe you will find this worthless. But for me it was a different experience. The dialogues are sung out by the actors, yes sung. There is music and the dialogues are lyrics. At first this felt and sounded weird but once you get into the flow you will start enjoying it.

The story is about a young boy who is beaten just because his face is deformed. A young girl rescues him and lets him hide in the opera house. The boy learns and practices the opera and is very well versed. He then teaches a young girl whom he also then starts adoring and plans to wed someday. But he never appears, only his voice can be heard. In the meanwhile this young girl has made it to the lead in the opera and has fallen in love with a Lord.

The story that ensues is a usual clash of emotions and priorities and choices.
The only thing that makes this move worth your time once is the novelty of the way the opera is incorporated throughout the movie. The music effects are worth of a mention, well suited for an opera. The performances are good too, but I hardly concentrated on those because the lyrics and singing were so beautiful.

I'd say, give it a try!
