Whatever the version, this is one of the most entertaining novels of the kind and therefore its eternal popularity. This small masterpiece have been taken to the theatre, to the musical comedy and numerous times to the movies, with treatments that are equally classic, since every director has given different interpretations to the character, from turning him into a symbol of the artist pushed back by the society up to the representation of the most incredible psychological aberrations.
It tells the story of a disfigured musical genius (Gerard Butler) who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris opera house to take revenge against the world, until the day that he falls in love for a beautiful singer, who changes completely the course of his life. It is ironic that out of the dozen of books written by the French novelist Gaston Leroux, the one that has given him immortality is the classic of horror called ""The phantom of the opera"". The stand out moment for me was the beginning,when the film changed from black and white and went back in time to tell the story,it sent shivers down my spine.The Secret Horrors of the Opera House. This film was AMAZING! It looked gorgeous, the singing for some reason has been slated a lot by critics but I thought the singing was wonderful and everyone should be applauded especially the two leads Emmy Rossum and Gerald Butler they were brilliant.The songs sound as good as ever, there was one thing that really ticked me off with some reviewers they have said "The song are in desperate need in updating" and all I can say to that is "Don't change perfection because its already perfect. I went to see this film with my best friend yesterday and I asked her what she thought of the film and she said "That was the worst film i've ever seen" I turned to her and saw she was blubbing her eyes out(she was being sarcastic).
