Phantom of the Opera Commentary and Movie Review

                Human intellect has, indeed, gone so far in the course of history. It has improved so quickly that seemingly all changes just happened with a wink. No one has certainly ever thought of this. 

                Human intellect has also turned out to be very influential in the human race. It has influenced so many people of all races and of all walks of life. 

                Few of the greatest achievements that men have ever attained were in the field of arts- arts in the form of painting, sculpting, speaking, dancing, singing, writing, etc- and the most well-liked and prevalent is the performing arts which include dancing, singing and acting. People have become very enthralled with this to the point that they have gone beyond the walls of theatre and strode up above the flight of steps of the stage.

I believe that Phantom of the Opera is one of the greatest movies, not so much of category but in general, man has ever made. With the movie alone, you will see how man brilliantly thinks when his craft is concerned. The story of the film was really fantastic as well. No wonder why it became so popular all over the world. 

                The Phantom of the Opera was a complete package if entertainment is concerned. It was a nearly perfect incorporation of singing, dancing and acting per se where, indeed, the conglomerated parts worked so well. The way the songs were arranged was very classy and sophisticated. The songs suited favorably to the settings of the movie which was opera that we know a place for the rich and elitists. The chosen actors and actresses really fitted to the movie very well. Their abilities as singing actors and actresses were exceptional which made them capable of the roles. The choreography was done very professionally as well. Everything came off very effectively.

                The film was really a form of art. It was not just a movie. It was a movie that depicted the greatness and grandeur of the word love. It was not made just for entertainment that most of the time people dwell with a perfectly indifferent commonality. It was not made merely for leisure; instead, it was made to move the audience through the way how the actors and production staff expressed their own perception of love.

                The movie has shown how mysterious really love is, and it is not because of the fictionality of the phantom but because of its story. I, too, can not explain exactly what love really is but I will just do it quite assertively. Love, indeed, is a two-way process. It is an in-depth form of communication between people. Love will never be called love when it is selfish. This was significantly shown by how the phantom acted. He has done everything just to get his love, Christine for he knew he was actually waging in a lost crusade for her. We will not feel the ecstatic elation of love when the other does not love us in return. With this, I admire the phantom. He has given up his greatest love because he understands what love is for others and not just what love is for him. 

 

                Often times in our lives, human as we are, we get so hurt every time we fail most especially when we did everything just to win the race. Often times we blame ourselves in failing on some things because we think we did not try hard enough even if we actually know that we did. We just have to understand that everything is not a matter of winning,rather, it is a matter of knowing really what we are fighting for in the very first place.
