I sure hope this movie wins some awards for it's costumes and Cinematography.

The film's look-among the most riveting I've ever seen-colorful, rich and oozing vibrancy, the look and feel are just magnificent. I don't think there was a sound in the theater during the whole movie. Phantom of the Opera's's loveliness is still so luminous and the movie just fills your senses. In fact, I was wondering if I would cry during the movie and of coarse I did. The magic present in the show live, is still, for the most part, here on film. The movie, for the most part, retains much of the stage show, I'd say about 85 percent true to the show, though there were slight differences. The stage show is my all time favorite Broadway show and I was a bit nervous as to how Phantom and the music of the night would hold up on the big screen but I needn't have worried because it was very definitely worth the price of the ticket-and then some. The fact that no one is ever going to believe her about the level of diva currently happening to her is the greatest tragedy of her life.I have just come from seeing phantom and was completely swept away. She needs to live-tweet this on Le Twitre right now. She is sitting in a boat surrounded by magically rising-from-the-lake candles while a broody man in a theatrical mask swirls his cape at her and somehow there’s also a horse.

She’s not going to laugh at him because clearly that would be a bad idea and probably hurtful, but her entire brain is just running a mental loop of “Is he kidding? Oh my god, he’s not kidding,” and she hasn’t even seen the literal mannequin of herself yet. This is one of my favorite gifs of all time because while I realize Emmy Rossum was going for mystified wonder at this strange new world she’s in, it mostly just looks like she’s thinking to herself, “Oh my god, I cannot believe the level of extra of this man.” This is a woman who’s about to go back upstairs and start a conversation with Meg with the sentence, “You have got to hear about my day and we need two entire bottles of wine before I even start.” This is a woman who is legitimately suffering from the lack of someone to exchange a significant glance with right now.
