I'm only here for the cookies
I have watched Moulin Rouge
and now I added Phantom of the Opera & Nine to my watchlist
From Justin to Kelly with rating 2.1/10
you must be kidding me
You didn't catch the sarcasm... The story isn't a tragedy, the making of the movie is a tragedy...

Instead of the Major Motion Picture, I highly recommended The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall (2011). This is a video record of the 25th anniversary performances. Musically, it is miles above the film.

Trust me. I’m The Doctor.
I wouldn't say that. I have seen both and I think they both have good and bad things about them. Personally I like that movie can give you a better since of scenery. You can see the opera house, beneath it and they do a better job of time. When you do a stage production you don't have the ability to stop and fix things or refill a scene. The movie makes sure you have the view and sound possible. Things can easily get blocked or mess up with a stage production.
That said there are things I liked about the stage production as well. I think she made a better Christine and some of the scenes where amazing to see. Plus the fact the show must go on and they can't stop if someone looses their voice or a set falls down. That's what makes theater exciting; every performance is different and every company brings something new to add to the performance.
They are both beautiful and masterpieces. To say one is better is like saying the Mona Lisa is of a masterpiece than Starry Night. The play and movie is essentially the same; they have a different take on it. And for people who can't see performances in person, it's enough. Also I have discovered through my years of performing in musical theater that it's hard to get a video of a performance because of everything that happens during the show. So that taped performance is about one in a million.
I know it's your opinion and I respect it, but to me theirs really no comparing the two, because it's like saying a human being isn't an animal. They are different forms of the same thing and they are both masterpieces and beautiful.
Lol. ?
shareNot any recommendation off the top of my head, but if you put both movies into Netflix (if you have it) into your queue and see what they come up with.
