    Similar to other horror B-level films in the 7080s, they all set up the front and drag the plot, and the climax is all in the next 15 minutes, but at least the others will be suspenseful. This is all based on Faustian allusions. And the ending is worth a three-star, and this style MD guessed that it was directed by Witch...

    [Great] I'm crazy, this is an "epic" cult movie that can only be made by selling the soul to the devil. In this part, I finally realized the charm of Parma's "split screen" technique: in the same scene, the left and right different pictures use long lenses to construct the spatial structure. The screen effect completes the simultaneous display of the "viewer" and the "viewer", allowing us to see the possibility of montage being "replaced". Of course, Palma didn't forget her roots. The bathroom...

    This long shot, this montage, De Palma's innovation of audio-visual language and the influence of later generations are actually reflected so clearly in this work that is almost...

    It's a year before the Rocky Horror Show. Like a new version of Lu Xun's story, the best movie in DePalma's...

    ...... Help if it corresponds to the original Phantom, that Viscount = Swan? This is how much I hate pussy, but with the faces of the West End couple, it all suddenly became hot... Jessica Harper is really annoying to look at it too...

    Metaphors like "sell your soul to the devil" and "Rock star" are just too apt. To be famous, to be talented... The music is a bit mediocre and far from the classics of the horror Rocky...

    No matter how much lamentation and sadness are rendered into indistinguishable emotions by the non-stop music, images and music synergize to form a contradiction between emotions and senses. This is the meta-technique used in commercial entertainment. So we come to appreciate, and justify, a sick beauty, the alienation that stems from the art of commercial over-invasion, and the depraved pleasure that comes from appreciating...

    Ahahaha, it's so awesome, it's too cult, the craziest and most amazing thing I've ever seen, it's just genius, the performance scene is really...

    cult movie phantom

    DePalma directed the work in 1973, obviously he was aiming for the cult route. In the name of theater ghosts, exaggerated costumes and chaotic music constitute the distinctive features of each character's extreme superficiality, like a large-scale make-up party that is gorgeous and noisy. Luckily...

    I'm also willing to sell my soul to the devil for a rock star

    Hahahahaha the rock version of The Phantom of the Opera + Faust, but it feels too huge. It's not bad enough for art rock at that time, although it's still a bit sloppy. The head of the theater is the senior of the agent of the Velvet Gold Mine, and the Phantom still has some achievements. He got...

Phantom of the Paradise quotes

  • Swan: [holding a contract] It's all here. Read it carefully, and then sign at the bottom in blood. Messy, I know. But it's the only way I can bind you. Tradition. What do you have to lose?

  • Swan: [to an assassin, ragged voice] Remember, she must be hit just as Philbin says "till death do you part."

    Arnold Philbin: Now, what a minute. This may be none of my business or anything. But if you're gonna kill her, why do it here tonight?

    Swan: An assassination live on television coast to coast? That's entertainment!
