Phantom Of The Opera
Wednesday, April 27th, 2005Phantom Of The Opera is a fine piece of music. I was actually waiting for a chance to watch it in Sydney Opera House. Unfortunately my frenz told me that it isn’t running anymore. I was upset till it was in the cinema. It was a MUST watch. From the start I was wondering how it would be like putting a musical into a movie script. As opening track played as they flashback to the days when the chandelier was still on the ceiling, I was filled with an overwhelming feeling. As the actors and actress sang, I could feel what they were trying to express out through music. The singing really touched my heart that I nearly cried in the cinema.
Though the ending is a sad but happy ending. Raoul could be with Christine but The Phantom went on hiding till the day Christine died. It was then when Raoul place the music box that was describe by Christine at her grave that all know the Phantom is still alive. By her grave, the Phantom place the ring he took from her with a stalk of red rose tied with a ribbon. This helps me to understand the meaning of undying love. It also shows that love doesn’t comes easily. Love is more than what I thought it was. Both have to work hard to make it work and last. Like the story, the Phantom understand that he can’t force Christine to love him and did the hardest thing by letting her go to the one she loves.
It is amazing how music could be used to express their feelings. I really love Andrew Loydd Webster composition. His composition all all beautiful songs. There are some played by Richard Claydermann where he plays the compositions with full of life. Just close your eyes and relax and the music would make its way to your heart and talk to you in its own way
