      Just finished watching it...I think it's good

      After tidying up the storage room, I found that this DVD I bought a long time ago can still be put out.
      Not Webber's version of The Phantom of the Opera, but it seems to be doing a good job, so let's take a look.
      Prompt, the following are all spoilers










      after watching... Gide is almost overflowing, does it really matter...
      There are three men chasing Xiaoke in this version. Sulfuric acid disfigured and hid in the basement....

      [Film Review] Phantom of the Opera (1943) 7.0/10

      Far more a romantic musical than a grisly horror, Universal's 1943 Technicolor remake of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA shares the same set of Rupert Julian's 1925 silent predecessor (starring Lon Chaney as the Phantom), directed by contract director Arthur Lubin, it is a costly production that brings all the chromatic resplendency to wow its audience, notably, the replica of the Opéra Garnier interior,...

      Phantom of the Opera in1943

      There are so many versions of The Phantom of the Opera, from movies to musicals, and film adaptations. It has to be said that each has its own merits.
      From the current point of view, the 1943 version must have some distance from the current aesthetic in terms of horror.
      The structure, rhythm, dramatic conflict, and tension are so neatly done, it's no surprise. The emphasis is on the passages that are sung, which is really beautiful. As for the large sections of shuttles and escapes...

      1943

      ?Very unique adaptation, I think this version of The Phantom also has a lot of room for digging, a passionate suitor in his late 50s, a depressed but talented composer, trapped in poverty, hope He sought a way out through his own works, but he could not gain the approval of others, and even his whole life was stolen. When a strong corrosive liquid was splashed on his face, his life as a normal person came to an end. It's a pity that the movie didn't give him much shape, Christine didn't have...

      seemingly happy irony

      Just finished watching the 1943 version of The Phantom of the Opera. It's really nice that every character is alive. Although there are not many movies I have watched, I am willing to think more about the intentions of the screenwriter and director of each movie. The disfigured violinist was clearly a tragic figure, pure and introverted, and the kind of love reserved for the outgoing and popular Chris felt out of admiration rather than as real long-lasting. Feelings, what I am adhering to...

      Whether in the musical or in the movie, Kristen is always an unlovable character, and in the Universal version of the story, it peaks. There is a huge contrast between the comedy love triangle of commercial films and the tragic love of Claudin, and even to a certain extent, the tragedy of Claudin is eliminated, so the excavation of the characters' hearts in the play is too superficial, Not only does it fail to explain how Claudan and Kristin resonate with that lullaby, but it makes Kristin seem...

    Movie plot

    In an opera house in Paris, strange things happened frequently, the original lead actress was almost crushed to death, and a creepy unreal male voice appeared in the theater. This voice came from the ghost who lived in the underground labyrinth of the theater. He fell in love with the actress Christine, secretly taught her to sing and helped her get the position of the heroine, while Christine was in love with the theater broker Raoul....

    Movie quotes

    • [Claudin is talking to Christine as they descend into the catacombs beneath the Opera]

      Enrique Claudin: See? Didn't I tell you it was beautiful? You didn't know we had a lake all to ourselves, did you?

      [Christine covers her face and sobs]

      Enrique Claudin: They've poisoned your mind against me. That's why you're afraid. Look at your lake, Christine. You'll love it here when you get used to the dark. And you'll love the dark, too. It's friendly and peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It's right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it. Then it's all beauty. And life here is like a resurrection.

    • [Christine has left Raoul and Anatole in her dressing room while she greets a crowd of admirers]

      Raoul D'Aubert: Would you join me for a bit of supper at the Cafe de l'Opera?

      Anatole Garron: With pleasure, monsieur.

      Raoul D'Aubert: Think we can get through this crowd?

      Anatole Garron: Certainly. After all, who'd pay any attention to a baritone and a detective?

    • Amiot: [Upon hearing about a thief in the opera house] Call the police at once! This must be stopped!

      Vereheres: Monsieur, I'm afraid the police can't stop that. It's he.

      Amiot: Who?

      [VEREHERES begins to make gestures at his nose and chin]

      Amiot: Oh, please. Don't start that nonsense again, Vercheres. At your age, you ought to know that there aren't any ghosts.

      Vereheres: Monsieur, you are skeptical, but I don't like ghosts. I'm a busy man.

      Lecours: What's that?

      Amiot: Oh, our brilliant stage manager insists there's a malicious ghost prowling about the Opera. If anything goes wrong, he thinks this ghost did it!

      Vereheres: Oh, monsieur...

      [to LECOURS, again making gestures to his nose and chin]

      Vereheres: He has a long nose, and a big red beard!

      Lecours: You make me nervous!
