Worst Movie Ever!!!

[Ponine]

Wow... how to start on GC's post... (Who's in your avatar anyway?)

you said: Make it that the people funding the theatre come in for a fundraiser event and get entertained by the number in the lobby. There's a point then.

Thats how I saw that number.... you didnt? I agree that in film it had very little point, but I did see it as entertainment...
The Phantom being Red has had something to do with him shocking everyone all along.. but I have never truly understood why. The Mickey Mousing... well.. its was there, it worked, and really, had you not known the show/music, do you think you would have noticed it?

The lair, yeah, I can see how you thought it was cool.. and I did too, but really he wasnt complaining about his home, wasnt he complianing about his way of life?

Though the arms, and the manaquien ... ewwwwwwww

umm.... I agree about the Chandelier, and the All I ask of You scene...

As far as Christine... I think thats up to interpretation.. I never thought that seeing his face was that catlyst. When he scolds her for removing his mask, she;s sees a side of him that he is not familiar with, and it scares her.
She;s in love with Raoul anyway, thats a side line.
As a theatre geek who sang waay too much of the PotO songs.. I always felt she didnt turn on the Phantom until The Point of No Return.

ugh.. I have to stop, the phone rang... silly work getting in the way.

His name is Giuseppe San Rio. I think he stars in some weird soap opera in Costa Rica.

I didn't see it that way at all. There was no audience watching the performance.

Yep, I would have. This is the kind of music that's played when Inspector Clousea (sp?) is sneaking around in the 'Pink Panther'. It shouldn't be used to show how imposing someone is.

He seemed to be trapped like a rat, but was his cage all that bad?

I see your point. It just seems that the reaction was about his face and not so much the madness of the phantom.

True.


I really don't mean to pick on this film a lot. I used to study film and I love analyzing films. Especially like pulling apart films and seeing how I, if I were a producer, would have made it better.
