The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Director: Joel Schumacher
Cast: Gerard Butler as Erik / The Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine Daaé, Patrick Wilson as Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny, Miranda Richardson as Madame Giry, Minnie Driver as Carlotta Giudicelli
Synopsis: The angel of music patrons Christine, promoting her on the main role of the musicals. He thinks she should belong only to him, but everything changes when a strong opponent in the person of Vicomte de Chagny appears.
Review: After a change of the Opera House's shareholders, something strange began happening there: constant accidents, letters from the Phantom of the Opera (Gerard Butler) with his requirements. The angel of music would do everything Christine (Emmy Rossum) to become the prima donna of the theater. He taught her music, the music of the soul and the heart, he loved her, he befriended her; and there her play had a resounding success, instantly turning the girl into a new star of the Opera. Christine' old friend Raoul (Patrick Wilson) congratulated her, and since that moment the struggle between two rivals began. Only the last play became crucial for all of them: the main roles were performed by Erik and Christine, who at the end teared off the Ghost's mask, revealing his disfigured face. Taking the girl, he ran to his refuge, where Vicomte found them.
So, without further ado as it's clear that the film is magnificent, and first of all, thanks to the director Joel Schumacher, who managed to combine classical music with modern filmographie. Separately I would like to draw your attention on a good selection of actors and their incredible performances. Gerard Butler was irresistible and unique in the role of the Phantom. And his voice, which touches the soul... He was imbued with the spirit of the patron, the genius and the angel of music. And an excellent part with Butler was performed by Emmy Rossum with a distinctive appearance, so suitable for air and amorous Christine, with such a beautiful and gentle voice. But most of all I was impressed by Minnie Driver as Carlotta Giudicelli, the most extravagant woman of the Opera, who knew her own worth.
The costumes and scenery were simply stunning: they reflected the reality of that time, moving the audience in the atmosphere of tension and at the same time air atmosphere. About the music we can speak a lot and for a long time, so I'd like to say only the most important: music was just beautiful, thank so much the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
All in all, unfortunately, I neither read the novel by Gaston Leroux nor watched Andrew Lloyd Webber''s musical of the same name, but after watching this film adaptation I'll correct this mistake. The movie is really very impressive, soulful, sublime!
