Profile of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera
The mood of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is bittersweet, stylized, and sentimental. The plot centers around a tragic hero, mental instability, and the life of a performer. It is a romance, period, and musical movie. Stylistically, it is gothic and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is serious. It takes place, at least partly, in a haunted house. It is set in Paris. It happens in the Victorian era. The musical score is opera. It is adapted from a play and based on a book. The movie is known for being an award winner. It is especially suggested for a girls' night and a date night. Note that it includes mild violent content.
Summary of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera
Those who thought that smoke machines and cobwebbed candelabras were the stuff of Halloween parties and dance clubs need to think again. In Joel Schumacher's film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, these moody set devices--and countless others--make every scene an atmospheric vision of souped-up 19th-century Gothic bliss. Christine Daee (a luminescent Emmy Rossum) is a tortured young star who is haunted by the voice of the phantom (Gerard Butler--who also played the lead in DRACULA 2000), a musician who hides in the shadows to hide a facial disfigurement, yet sings to her obsessively. Dwelling in the dark, damp chambers beneath the Paris opera house, the phantom lords over the cast and management with artistic autocracy--he writes the shows, casts them, and threatens all who disobey his plans with dramatically violent outbursts. But when his young student Christine falls for the rich and dapper Raoul (Patrick Wilson), the phantom descends into madness. Webber's memorable songs are performed with aplomb by Rossum, whose background includes singing with the Metropolitan Opera, and Wilson and Butler provide ample accompaniment. One of the treats of the proceedings is Minnie Driver's deeply exaggerated portrayal of the jealous diva, giving this PHANTOM a very appropriate dose of comic relief.
