Classic handed down

In my computer, I will always keep two music movies that I will never tire of, one is "Moulin Rouge" and the other is the 2005 version of "The Phantom of the Opera". These two films can actually be counted as movie operas, because the arias in them account for most of the film's space. Perhaps for most people, movie operas are tedious and boring, because when I introduced these two films, many people showed no interest, and some even said that people who appreciate opera are people who like arty. Here, I want to solemnly reiterate: Opera is a very glamorous form of artistic expression. On Broadway, many classic songs have been sung for decades. Some passages and songs are already known to us, but we have not noticed it. That's it. It is not the high-level art of Yangchun Baixue, high music and widow, but the language of life that can be understood and listened to by the general public.

The opera song "The Phantom of the Opera" introduced here is so widely sung, I believe everyone has heard of it. The author of "The Phantom of the Opera" is Weber. Weber was born in London, England in 1948. His father was a tutor of the Royal Conservatory of Music and his mother was a piano teacher. He learned piano, violin and trumpet since childhood. In 1968, his debut work "Joseph and the Dreamy Colored Clothes" was successfully staged in London, and he has been successful in the creation of musicals. His "Christ, the superstar of all ages" created in 1970 has been performed in London's West End for 8 consecutive years, which is an unprecedented record in London's West End. In 1978, "Evita" was performed and won 7 Tony Awards that year; in the 1980s, he created "Cat" and "The Phantom of the Opera" whose success can be described as madness and became a milestone in the history of musicals; until 90 In the age, the myth of Weber's undefeated continued, with the "Sunset Boulevard" drama and set the box office record on Broadway. Over the years, the plays composed and composed by him will become popular every time they are performed, from "Superstar" to "Evita", "Song and Dance", "Cat", "Star Train" and so on to "The Phantom of the Opera". After the peak achievement, there are still "Viewpoints of Love" and "Sunset Boulevard"... The ten repertoires that have become classics not only fully demonstrate Weber’s long-standing and new creative talents, but also established his position in the British and American musical theater industry. A top position and the title of "King of the Stage".

The uniqueness of Weber's music is that he combines modern popular music such as jazz and rock into classical music, while retaining the beautiful, long and charming singing voice of classical musicals. When you appreciate his work, don’t worry about hearing the high-pitched voice of the floral soprano over the course of several hours, and you don’t have to be afraid that the slurred Italian and Spanish lyrics will make you dizzy ( The lyrics are all in English). In two hours, Weber's "The Phantom of the Opera" will give you a profound experience of a musical journey full of sadness, happiness and dreams.

The plot of The Phantom of the Opera is somewhat similar to Leslie Cheung's "Midnight Singing". The talented musician can only live in the dark corners of the opera house because of his scary face. In the long years of loneliness, only a beautiful girl named Christine can make him feel the warmth of sunshine and love. taste. He fell in love with Christine hopelessly, but Christine's heart was attracted by another handsome boy. His jealousy stunned the Phantom's head, and he began a crazy revenge action. . . . . .

The 2005 version of "The Phantom of the Opera" is the Nth version of the remake, but it still brings surprises. What makes me love it the most is the unique singing of Phantom. When he sang the first line of lyrics, I was deeply attracted. The actor is not from an opera class. He has only received a period of training before filming. For professional viewers, his voice has many flaws. For ordinary listeners like me, who have no professional knowledge, music As long as it can touch me. His voice is full of loneliness and vicissitudes, and there is a little determination in his hoarse tone, and a hint of helplessness. When he sang, I felt as if a thin slit had been opened on the cover of the heavenly spirit. Emotions overflowed from it and beat with the music. The music penetrated layers of obstacles, echoing in my ears, in my heart, and everywhere in the world. The infinite love for Christine, the painful accusation of betrayal, anger, helplessness, and excitement, you can't imagine so many emotions can be integrated into each note, I have never heard such a shocking voice. In contrast, the lyrics of his rivals are not so profound, because the young boy has not experienced a painful dark life and does not understand how annoying it is to be unable to hug his lover standing in the sun. His voice is always full of hope and love. He and the Phantom, one is light and the other is shadow. I still prefer the Phantom, or people who are burdened with heavy and painful burdens are more sympathetic.

In fact, in this film, I no longer pay attention to the plot. The music that surpasses the plot and the emotions that rely on the actors’ voices are the most attractive. My language cannot express my love for this opera, or the people who have seen the introduction to appreciate it will not have the same ideas as me, but please listen carefully to the story behind the music and why it is a handed-down work , Not just because of those plots, crossing the boundaries of time, bringing eternal touch, only you and I can feel the sincere emotions.
