13 - The Phantom of the Opera

A 2004 Musical Blockbuster Film by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Film showings on class hours. Doesn't it get you relaxed? The fact that the whole class is just going to sit down there with the lights off and watch the movie. Typically for me, I was just thinking about sleeping on the class period, but this one movie caught my attention. It's a musical film called The Phantom of the Opera at The Royal Albert Hall. Now I know what you're thinking. "Opera is boring, some people say you'd die in boredom". But this movie will change the way you think about operas. I myself found this movie very passionate, and has a great polish to top it all off.

I won't spoil you from the film of course. I will just tell you a situation that is really similar to the movie's plot. So it's like in real life problems, arranged marriage. Being forced into something you don't want by the greater good, or so they say. Imagine being that woman and how limited are your choices in life. Exactly, you can't find an easy way out of it. But this similar situation in the movie is not all about bad luck and unhappiness. There was a big twist in the end that made everything so confusing, but so logical. I promise you that it will change the way you think of the characters. So, you may want to watch the movie yourself. :)

 Now to the musical theme of this movie.

Opera is expressing the story through live musicals. Attending an opera makes you feel the music with the story. So it fills your atmosphere to help you get deep in the story. But this movie made it so realistic that it connects the story the real atmosphere in the theater. You would really feel like there is a ghost inside the place. So this live act made you really feel more of the atmosphere in it. It's like they're making you feel like you're in the movie yourself. Now how about that? It's like you're in a 4 Dimensional film. Except that the fact is, you really are. How cool is that?

This film really is worth the time. This will really change your thoughts about theater arts. And this film will make you feel the athmosphere deeply. So why not ask if your friends have a copy, or buy the movie yourself.
