My new/old obsession
Jan. 7th, 2005 12:28 pmI saw the film version of Phantom of the Opera last night, and I've fallen in love all over again. I saw the play in San Francisco in high school, but from my seats I couldn't see very well. It really helped to have the visuals of the movie, and it was nearly identical to the play, with a few additions. There was something slightly different about the falling of the chandelier, I thought in the play (and I'll have to check my stage version soundtrack) the Phantom says "she sings to bring down the chandelier" but he didn't say that in the movie.
I was lip syncing the words to the songs almost the whole movie. It kills me when Raoul and Christine are talking and the Phantom's heart is breaking. I have to find some icons now. I have to find one perfect icon, though I am sure I'll find several and not be able to choose.
