The Phantom of the Opera

It's a bit far from the original, but generally not bad.

I watched this movie a long time ago
I've read the book now and decided to reconsider

Well...
not much in common
But it's still a pleasure.
Even in the book, I couldn't help but substitute P.O. in the image of Butler😅

I think that the film came out many times better than the book. And there are more emotions, and songs play an important role :) It is much easier to join the charming atmosphere of the Paris Opera.

Raul came out much better than in the book, but maybe that's because we can't hear his thoughts. Here he is a hero, ready to do anything to save his beloved from a villain, and in the book he is a narcissistic blockhead who is simply jealous of Kristina for another man and wants only him to get her.

The Phantom of the Opera was an egoistic maniac, and he remained so. Yes, he has reasons to be angry at the world, but this is by no means an excuse for his behavior towards Kristina, and even more so for the murders. However, how well he sings, damn it :D

Kristina's character also hasn't really changed much: a narrow-minded young lady with the wind in her head. Seriously, she's got that look on her face the whole movie, like she doesn't have a single thought in her head.

However, the final was more satisfactory. When I finished the book, I only regretted the time I had spent. The film format is much more suitable for this story.

I watch this movie every time I'm sad. 💔

After so many years, I realized that I still love this movie, no matter how much it was criticized.

The movie is great.

The movie instantly became one of my favorites, one of the best musicals I've ever seen!
Scenery, costumes, acting and, of course, incredible music! You immediately immerse yourself in this atmosphere, 2.5 hours flew by like a dream
It's very far from the book, but that's a good thing - the original source is weak and always goes somewhere away from the main plot, lingering on insignificant and boring details. The characters of the book also do not arouse sympathy, but in this adaptation they, in my opinion, turned out to be more romantic and lively, they want to empathize.
I am also very glad that the plot was slightly re-arranged according to events and new ones were added - the narration only benefited from this and began to look more logical.
Definitely recommend it for viewing)
