What Phantom? Phantom of the Opera

#影视杂谈 #

Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical Phantom of the Opera premiered in 1986, with the first female lead being his then-wife, Sarah Brightman. I watched the 2004 movie version and the 25th anniversary mermaid and ramen starring in the theater official.

In fact, I don't like this kind of plot setting, a man who is lonely and inferior because of disfigurement falls in love with a beautiful and lively woman, this role is very dramatic, but I also understand that the performance is to show the plot that you want to express in an exaggerated way, so that the audience can discover, feel, and feel, just like the "Watching Youth" I watched before, the boy who came from the mountain to study did not interact with others because of inferiority, lying on the ground crying in the rainstorm, I felt very exaggerated, too exaggerated, But after continuing to read and understand the background of the matter, I felt that the exaggerated laying in front of me gradually became reasonable, and let me find that there would indeed be such a sensitive and inferior mind.

I especially like the dramatic atmosphere when the organ starts to play, it gives people an uplifting and pleasant feeling, I believe that many people who listen to this piece will feel inexplicably familiar.

To avoid the thrill of inner exploration, entanglement, and tugging when fewer readers watch the movie, I minimize spoilers.

I am the first to see the film version, the advantage of the film over the scene is that it can show some transitions through editing, and it can enhance the visual impact of the audience through production and set, but the live audience can be immersed in the scene, follow the emotions of the male and female protagonists, and the music resonates and empathizes.

In the movie version and the theater version, I feel that when the heroine and the viscount get together again, it is already a love relationship, but the viscount is slightly forced, but the movie version shows more of the viscount's protection and support for the heroine. But regarding the relationship between the heroine and the phantom, at least in the two versions I have seen, the heroine has always respected, admired, feared, and sympathized with the phantom, but there has been no love, and the phantom has a strong desire to control the heroine. So in the movie version, maybe the scene changes too quickly, I don't understand why the heroine kissed the phantom after the last mention of her emotions turned into disgust, but watching the theater version seems to understand again, at that time a kind of sympathy and love and pity, because of sympathy for the phantom's lonely sensitivity and inferiority, pity that he has not been loved by others.

What touched me the most was that after the phantom let the heroine and the viscount leave, the heroine appeared behind the lonely and lost phantom again, and for a moment I felt that she was the salvation of this lonely soul, although the heroine was only to return the ring to him, but in my heart, the phantom was already surrounded by love.

I didn't watch the sequel to Phantom of the Opera, the reviews were mixed, and I was afraid that I would disappoint my impressions and expectations for the character, so I wouldn't watch a sequel in the short term.

I also hope to have the opportunity to see other versions of "Phantom of the Opera" and sincerely hope to see it on the spot, whether it is coming to China to see me, or I go to a foreign country to find it.
