Describe- The movie Phantom of The Opera is originally based off of a novel that is now known as a well-known theatre play. The movie is about a man named Phantom that haunts a French opera house. The performers and those who run the theater do not know who this man is and cannot see his face because he hides half of it with a mask. During the movie the lead girl of the performance becomes Phantoms obsession. His dreams are soon crushed when he realizes the girl is in love with another man. So, Phantom becomes determined to get the girl. He creates all these obstacles for the performers so that he can capture the girl. When he indeed captures the girl he takes her down to his own dungeon underneath the theatre and they hide out there. Finally after everyone is looking for her, her lover comes and finds her. The Phantom threatens the man by saying either you die or she does. They are both terrified, but the Phantom has a change of heart and lets the girls go back to her love. The Phantom then disappears.
Analyze- In the beginning of the movie there was a scene with a young boy getting beaten and made fun of. This scene was made to be a reminder throughout the play of who this young boy could be. Later finding out it was the Phantom, but things into perspective. A person’s first impression of the Phantom is a mean and scary man who wants to ruin things for the theatre and its’ performers. Throughout the movie you knew that there was more behind the way Phantom acted and why he would not show his identity. This movie is all about identity and a person’s past.
Interpret- The reason that the Phantom was so bitter was because he was treated so badly as a child. He was beaten up and treated with no respect. Because the Phantom was so mean people were so terrified of him and never actually thought about why he acts the way he does. The one person that finally realized that there must be a reason behind his actions was the girl of his dreams. She wanted to know why he wore that mask and why he wouldn’t show his true face to her. But, when he did take off his mask she realized what he was hiding and felt sorry for him. The lesson people can take from this movie is not to judge people before knowing what is truly going on in their life.
Evaluate- I had never seen the Phantom before this class. Many of my friends have seen it several times and were shocked that I had never seen it once. I’m glad that we watched this movie as a class. I enjoyed all the music and the scenery! I have always been into theatre and the Phantom is on my list of plays that I want to attend. It is a very intriguing story. I took a lesson away from watching this movie and that is to not judge people so quickly before I know their real story. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Phantom at the end. I don’t blame him for not wanting to show his face to others. There is a reason the Phantom of the Opera is such a popular play and that is because it is a great story!

I enjoyed all of the music in Phantom of The Opera but Angel of Music really stuck out to me. The girls voices are just beautiful. Christine is singing to her father and she has faith that their is angel guiding over her. Even though her friend does not believe her, so still knows that her angle of music is there. She belives that it is the Phantom and he does appear to her at the end of this song. This is where you can see how truely talented Christine is.
