Phantom of the Opera, Talk about movie or music if ya like Options

[Yuki Fukurou]

Hey y'all.

Um...not sure if many here are familiar with this title, dakedo...I remember first watching the movie (not the play) & thought it was all right. However...Shiro-kun told me once when I was at his place, that comparing this to the play, the original play sounded way better & that some parts from the movie were spoken, not sung.

In terms of the best song that I like from that one is this one particular song called "All I Ask of You", which I watched & heard Shiro-kun play on his piano & I thought, "Wow...totemo sugoi". That's probably one of my favorites.

Oh, i've heard of this, i always wanted to see it. It looked sooooo cool, but my evil mother wouldn't let me hmph

There was an older version of the Phantom of the Opera (don't know the year, but it was black and white) that I saw many years ago and I thought that it was a really good story. And a true opera is all sung like you say Yuki-san, there are no plain spoken parts.

[Tomoyo-san]

Actully, i think theres 2 different Phatom of the Opera (???)
because i think theres a 12 and and 18 one??
Or is there just one???Byebye xx

Ah.. I know this quite well ^^; When I was younger, my mom and dad both loved listening to Phantom of the Opera tapes while on vacations. None-stop Phantom of the Opera music for 6 hours XD

Hmm anyway, I saw the newer movie... was kinda blah. I wasn't fond of the voice chosen for the Phantom though :x (Which really should be the most carefully chosen voice in the entire thing >.< ) So yeah.. I only watched that movie once, since I always cringed when listening to him ^^;

Favourite songs were (not from the movie, from the old tapes >>b): Angel of Music and The Point of No Return.

I liked it. That is all.

[Tomoyo-san]

I never knew there was music of Phantom of the Opera????

[Ayumi]

"No more talk of darkness forget these whide eye fears i'm nothing can harm you my words will warm and calm you" don' tknow any more exsep random bits

[Yuki Fukurou]

Yes. It's a really good story.

As for the lyrics to the song All I Ask of You...you're pretty close Ayumi-san.

I can only remember the first part of the song though.

"No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm & calm you"

"Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears, I'm here
With you, beside you
To guard you & to guide you..."

[Tomoyo-san]

Hmmmm... I think i've seen Phantom of the opera in HMV, so if i get anoth money, i think i'll rent it out

...Gerard Butler was a bad choice to play a major character. Ugh. "Sing once again with me, our streenge duet." That's right, "Streenge." His voice sounded really weird, and at more than one occasion, he sounded like a machine making high pitched noises. Just terrible.

I taught myself "All I Ask Of You" for a reason that will remain undisclosed, but it's something my friends like to listen to when I'm playing the piano...

Yuzuki-chan, I'm pretty much listening to it every day, or at least listening to me play the songs...so I'm currently learning "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Music of the Night," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," and "The Point of No Return," and...yeah. XD

[Tomoyo-san]

I've now watched Phantom of the Opera, and it was REALLY GOOD!

Gerard Butler was a bad choice to play a major character. Ugh

Really Kyouko-chan? I thought he was quite good
