I think were getting off track here…let’s not let ourselves get drawn into old movies and comparisons with other movies and the Broadway versions or the actual book or any of that. Let’s get back on track: Waxman is one ugly MFer!

actually, he was born that way. I read the book.

but also, i think the film started off too slowly and ended too quickly.

I love that version, too. While it had little to do with the book, I thought it was really, really sweet and funny.

I thought the fourties version was actually kinda good. ^^; Sure, it wasn’t the best, but it was right after/during the war (I can’t remember which) and there was a sort of ban on violence and such. The directors really wanted to make it a more romantic version to keep people’s minds off the war, if my information’s correct, so they focused on Christine and the two Raoul’s love affair to keep it sort of humorous and light. Plus, Lullaby of the Bells was beautiful haha

I finally figured out what Erik’s theme song should be. Born This Way by Lady Gaga. XD

I love PotO, best book ever! Saw the 1925 version, didn’t really love that one, but that face was priceless. I also saw the 2004 version based on the musical (in case anyone didn’t know), & I loved that one!
I always hate the fact that Christine chose Raoul over Erik, even though she loves both. I really pity the Phantom, and I would take the poor, unhappy guy for myself!

I have, I’ve also read a cross-over novel with Sherlock Holmes that wasn’t half bad (I forget the author’s name). …and seen every movie from Lon Chaney onward, even the god-awful Phantom of the Paradise… the one with Robert Englund as the Phantom was bad ass, best Carlotta fate ever!

I agree, if you’re gonna be true to the original story, you gotta go with Chaney.

ONE. Frankenstein is NOT a monster, he was the creator of the monster.
TWO. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LOOKS LIKE THAT. IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY USED THAT MAGIC THING CALLED THEIR BRAINS THEY COULD EASILY FIND OUT THAT THE PHANTOM WAS A BOOK. AND IN THAT BOOK, THE PHANTOM IS DEFORMED ALL OVER HIS FACE, HAS NO NOSE, ETC.

Please refrain from speaking.

Phangirl OUT. Time to go stalking abroad.

Mon Dieu, I hope your’e joking. Your’e joking, right? You DO know that there was a play before the movie, and a BOOK before the play? People need to do their research before trying to look smart… (>/.<)

This made me laugh almost as much as the comments about it!
It really disappoints me though that hardly anyone has read the original novel by Leroux. Erik is not supposed to be sexy, he’s a crazy 50 year old man who was shunned by the world because of his accursed ugliness. Honestly, if you’re going to make stupid comments, at least don’t argue with people who actually know their phacts.

According to the comments on this page, no. I have no hope for this generation where the monsters are supposed to be -romantic- when they’re really crazy and people don’t appreciate the classic, good, silent movies. Unfortunately, I’m part of that generation.

By: Courtney

Courtney — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:49:41 +0000

These people don’t get the point of the story… Erik is supposed to be butt ugly, not super uber hott lyk omg. I would rather have Lon Chaney over Gerard a) because he was so close to the novel and b) he’s a better actor, but like a great philosopher once said, you can’t always get what you want.

Now the Phantom is going for politics…

If he puts in a mandate that every single politician has to sing their arguments and propositions, then it will be interesting indeed.

Actually, as “The_Invisible_Jester”said this phantom looks as it’s supposed to look, based on the book. Today, with the different adaptations, how the phantom looks like, as well the plot of the story, has changed enormously to the point were only half of his face is disfigured. Take notice that this movie was released in 1925, long before Andrew LLoyd Weber’s adaptation in which the phantom has the mask.

He’s weird looking naturally, but the photoshop liquify tool on the nose and black color added between the teeth aided in this comparison.

By: The_Invisible_Jester

The_Invisible_Jester — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:36:09 +0000

Perhaps he’s appalled by the lack of decent adaptation of his story.

By: The_Invisible_Jester

The_Invisible_Jester — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:35:18 +0000

That’s more like the Phantom from the book, and actually what he was meant to look like in the first place. Unfortunately, the adaptations after the Lon Cheney movie have gotten a little more removed from the book with every adaptation.

I’ve read it! In the process of re-reading it, actually. I love it. A difficult read, but a wonderful story. I love Erik (which is the Phantom’s name, for those of you who haven’t read the book). I’d so marry him…

“Phantom” by Susan Kay is also an awesome PotO book, though obviously not the original. If you want to see a possible version of Erik’s past and an alternate version of the whole Christine dealie, read this! It’s my favorite book. *happy Erik-induced sigh*
