The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
The Best Musical Ever
I loved this film from the moment the chandelier was raised and the delapidated theatre was restored to its glory. I got the shivers all seven times I watched it. Was I obsessed do you ask? LOL Gerard Butler was perfectly cast in his role of the Phantom, his singing is sexy and seductive, he had me rooting for the Phantom by the end of the movie. It would have been a disaster in casting had John Travolta won the role of the Phantom, having Gerard as the phantom added the air of mystery the film makers said they were hoping to create.
The hottest scene that literally sizzled on the screen was one of the later numbers "Past the point of no return" The line Emmy sings "When will the flames at last consume us?" was very apt. She does a wonderful job as the wide-eyed innocent Christine.
The film plays like an erotic tale of moral and sexual awakening. Recommended to Musical lovers everywhere.
