Phantom of the Opera. Yes or no?

Well, what are your thoughts?
I'm in love with this song!!
Lion
Mysterious, that's what I call you.
I'm curious about you.
I'm scared and I'm not sure that you are safe.
But, something in your eyes says you are good.
This is not a dream that I'm living,
this is just a world of your own.
You took me from all that I knew,
showed me how it feels to hope.
With you with me, facing tomorrow together,
I could learn to fly.
It feels like I'm living in the lion's mouth,
but the lion is an angel.
Wise eyes, you see the core of me.
Your gentleness melts me.
Now I know that words cannot describe
the power that I feel when I'm with you.
This is not a dream that I'm living,
this is just a world of your own.
You took me from all that I knew,
showed me how it feels to hope.
With you with me, facing tomorrow together,
I could learn to fly.
It feels like I'm living in the lion's mouth,
but the lion is...
peace and power
love forever.
Who am I to stand before you?
I am speechless,
but in my weakness you are here and all is well.

If you mean the musical, then yes, I love it. If you mean the film, forget it.

Well, while I think it is an excellent score and story, I am not a raving drooling fanboy of the musical. I love it. Not with an exclamation point though.

And a quick note... its a school day so most people ain't gonna be repondin' too fast, 'specially considering the demographic of the board.

Yay! I am a huge fan of musical and movie. I'm glad I'm not alone!

At night he sang to me,
in dreams he came.
That voice which calls to me,
And speaks my name.
But do I dream again?
For now I find,
the Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind.
I'm in love with this song!!

I need the movie soundtrack so badly!!! *whimper*

Well, I am completely in love with the musical stage version, or more particularly, the Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford version (aka the original cast). I've got the highlights soundtrack, the complete coundtrack, I've read the book about 1000 times (slightly different to the musical, but still great, and very enlightening), and I know all the words to the songs. :D

However, I was a tad dissapointed by the movies. Don't get me wrong, I got shivers when the music started st the beginning, and the colour came in and the chandelier lifted up, and the sets and costumes and props were amazing! However I was really dissapointed with the three main characters - Raoul, Christine and the Phantom. I just don't like Raoul's hair, his voice is amazing, but as for the other two, well I guess no one really compares when you're used to the original cast.

:lol: I agree entirely. I wasn't TOO disappointed by Raoul's hair, but Michael Crawford IS the Phantom and I adore his voice so much, it's difficult to accept any substitutes. x3; The first thing I asked my mom when she told me the movie was coming out was "Is Michael Crawford gonna come back and be the Phantom!? <3"

Well, having never seen the Broadway stage production, the movie was my first time seeing it...I was absolutely amazed. I think that Emmy Rossum (Christine Daae) has the most beautiful voice, and the rest of the cast sings and acts incredibly well. I can't even choose a favorite scene in this movie; I love the whole thing! When I saw it the first time, I wanted to clap at the end of "Think of Me." I nearly forgot I was in a movie theater! <<^_^' I'm sure the Broadway production is magnificent, and I really want to see it, but for now, I'll have to settle for the film. Hey, even if it is second best, it's still top-notch entertainment in my book! ^_^ My cell phone ringtone is actually Gerard Butler singing "The Pha-a-a-antom of the Opera is there....Inside your mind!" XD Sugoi...Sugoi!

I completely agree! When "Think of me" was over, I clapped enthusiasically and my friends stared at me strangely. :sweat:

I actually began to sing along to the movie in the cinema, and my didn't realise until my friend nudged me. Even then, I mouthed the words along with the movie for the whole thing. I couldn't help myself. :P
