heatty2008 is right to an extent. That was part of the reason she fainted, but when the phantom of the opera was written, hysteria and fainting were considered a woman's disease. women were supposedly especially prone to fainting spells. they were thought to be easily frightened.
ok so the first time i saw this movie i totally freaked out when the phantom had that maniquin that looks exactly like her....anyone else freak out at that part??
@guppybearlol Of course Phantom of the Opera is better then Twitlight because Twilight is stupid! Can someone please tell me why everyone likes Twilight? Please anyone?
@TheStarboon ignore this if that was rhetorical, but i think it's because lots of people like the idea of being in love with someone dangerous. "bad boy." But i liked it a lot more when there wasn't any "Rob, bite me!" and "Taylor, take your shirt off!" etc. That's not how i think people should see the series. It's not mind-boggling Stephen King psychological genius, but not (supposed to be?) simple teenybopper stuff, either. I could go on, but why, when i should be listening to this great song?
michael crawrford, colm wilkinson, even john cudia all shit on gerard butler. POTO is meant for the stage not for the screen, the magic and presence felt from a live performance dwarfs that of a movie. moreover, butlers voice was most likely digitally enhanced...honestly do you think he can hit that high A flat flawlessy? I dont think so.
Actually, he did all of the Phantom's singing. The reason he was chosen was because Andrew Lloyd Webber said that his voice was what he always of for the Phantom.
well, I suppose you found your problem. This is a MOVIE, not a live performance. It will NEVER have the same effect as a live performance, and I think Gerard Butler did as well as he could for the CINEMATIC version of the story. I'm not saying he's a better actor than the three first mentioned. I'm simply saying that he isn't that bad, in fact, I thought he did a fine job.
actually. that is his voice. i love mike as well. dont get me wrong. but i love both the movie and the broadway production. and i like them for the both did a wonderful job in their own right. i dont judge them against eachother. its two totally different sceniaros
like i said, id live in the tunnels with the phantom, that is, if half his face looked like gerald butler and sang like him. oh, yeah. thered be lots of _____ and singing going on.
me too! i had no problem with him being crazy and killing people. some people say they'd kill for you but he really meant it. i might have to teach him some socializing skills but after the singing and the banging.
Well I don't know. In terms of voice and music I choose Michael Crawford who played the Phantom in the original london cast but acting wise and visually Butler is awesome! The movie makes him much more masculine and cool in a sense.
One of the greatest Webber songs! I really like Butler's Phantom but I like Crawford's Phantom too! The movies Phantom is more dark and masculine while the musical seems more lonely and weak but just sayin. I still love the POTO!
I have been completely taken with this guy since he starred in Timeline. It's been super cool to see him progress so much with his career. You are stunning Mr. Butler.
did anyone realise that this is the guy from 300???! The guy who yells THIS IS SPARTA! how cool! and he's also the guy from P.S i love you! he's such a cute guy and a great actor!
lo importante de la pelicula no es ni lo ``bueno´ que esta el protagonista o si es mejor la version original o la doblada etc sino lo bella que es en mi opinon tanto el libro como la peli son una obra de arte pero mirar que musica una obra de arte quese merece que la gente llore en el final de la peli por que es una combinacion de amor,musica y realismo por que estas cosas de amoor verdadero pasa preo a muy pocos por eso hay que respetarlo y amarlo y a si termino mi alegato.
Michael Crawford was definetly a HOT PHantom as well! Actually know one should comment on either guy if they hav'nt seen a whole performance of either. I have sat thru the movie once and saw Mike live in N.Y. and because of that performance went to see him live in L.A.. And after seeing Michael actually perform the role he would have made a hell of a great movie "Phantom". I've also met him in person and he is extremely adorable and a huge sweetie.
Oh my gosh. This movie is absolutely amazing, and this song just drives me wild. I get hot just listening to Gerard Butler's voice. Honestly. I was entirely and utterly obsessed with him for months. I finally got over my obsession. He's still just about the hottest thing on this planet, but I'm over being obsessed. *sigh* I love his voice sooo much..
Everybody who criticizes Gerard should keep in mind that he's no professional singer...would mean he never had any professional vocal lessons like Emmy does. And regarding this point he did good job!
Far a guy who has NEVER had professional singing lessons, this gut is amazing. Crawford gad singing lessons for years, so if gerard would he would deffinently be up there with crawford. Plus i do not crawford would make a very apealing movie phantom.I loved when he says purge your thought... he does good.

3. make a wax figurine of said underrated but beautiful singer
4. she faints, take her to your bed.
