XIV - The Phantom of the Opera

"Close your eyes and let the music set you free."

The Phantom of the Opera is a 2004 British film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the French novel  Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux. The Phantom of the Opera grossed approximately $154 million worldwide, despite receiving mixed to negative reviews, which praised the visuals and acting but criticised the writing and directing.

I am really fond of watching musical movies, especially that I am a musician. I find The Phantom of the Opera interesting and amazing because it satisfies the genre that I love. It is basically a musical film and focuses on theatrical acts which makes it really a wonderful film. The actors and actresses of the films are also great because they have the skills which suits the character that they have portrayed. I like the songs that was being played in the film.

I love the plot and the mystery effect of this film. It somehow let the people who are watching to participate in the film by analyzing the events that was happening in the film. I was quite mesmerized to the fact that the Phantom was willing to do everything for the name of love although the impression of the people who have watched the film was quite negative because the ghost was willing to sacrifice the good values just to have the girl that he was wishing, it shows an aspect of what we so called: true love. I know everything happens for a reason, so for the phantom to do such things for the one he loves, there's always a reason and a story behind all those things that leads to desperation.I love how the Phantom shows mysterious attributes.

The flow of the story was good and it can really captivate the hearts of the people. I may not be able to see the efforts of the people who was involved or the people who played the roles, but I know they really exerted a lot of efforts and they really did their best just to have a movie like this one.

I would highly recommend this to everyone who's reading this. It is such a great film and you will definitely enjoy this film. Moreover, the songs that was played here were also great.
