Now the Phantom is going for politics…

If he puts in a mandate that every single politician has to sing their arguments and propositions, then it will be interesting indeed.

Actually, as “The_Invisible_Jester”said this phantom looks as it’s supposed to look, based on the book. Today, with the different adaptations, how the phantom looks like, as well the plot of the story, has changed enormously to the point were only half of his face is disfigured. Take notice that this movie was released in 1925, long before Andrew LLoyd Weber’s adaptation in which the phantom has the mask.

He’s weird looking naturally, but the photoshop liquify tool on the nose and black color added between the teeth aided in this comparison.

Perhaps he’s appalled by the lack of decent adaptation of his story.

By: The_Invisible_Jester

The_Invisible_Jester — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:35:18 +0000

That’s more like the Phantom from the book, and actually what he was meant to look like in the first place. Unfortunately, the adaptations after the Lon Cheney movie have gotten a little more removed from the book with every adaptation.

I’ve read it! In the process of re-reading it, actually. I love it. A difficult read, but a wonderful story. I love Erik (which is the Phantom’s name, for those of you who haven’t read the book). I’d so marry him…

“Phantom” by Susan Kay is also an awesome PotO book, though obviously not the original. If you want to see a possible version of Erik’s past and an alternate version of the whole Christine dealie, read this! It’s my favorite book. *happy Erik-induced sigh*

Gaston Leroux’s Erik > Andrew Llloyd Webber’s Erik.

Doesn’t anyone read classical literature anymore?

Claude Rains wore a partial mask in the 1943 remake – the lower part of his face, from his mouth to his chin, was exposed, so it’s a little different from the mask in the musical version.

Off topic (sort of) but did anyone see the 40s version with all opera and no phantom? It was godawful but as I recall the phantom had acid or some photo developing stuff thrown in his face. Or the much later Robert Englund version where he kept stealing people’s facial features?

By: Sadie Thompson

Sadie Thompson — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:33:33 +0000

That’s definitely a keeper. “Please, we grovel on our knees and kiss your satin ass, Carlotta” made me laugh ’til I snorted.

Wait a minute! That aint 15 minutes! More like a couple of hours (of course it didn’t help that I followed all the links) Loved the Dread Pirate Roberts Ninja Dancers! That was funny! Thanks for the post!

In the book–born disfigured.

In the film–horrible opera fire.

Jo–is a dumbass.

I’ll give ya points for trying! It isn’t an easy read. But it sure helped give a lot of missing background info for the musical. (I admit, aside from the Lon Chaney version I’ve never seen one of the movies. But I’ve seen the musical several times.)

By: NemesisKismet

NemesisKismet — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 03:27:12 +0000

I tried reading it. Does that get me points?

…. You read the movie in 15 minutes version, huh? XD

By: NemesisKismet

It’s even funnier if you read Phantom in 15 minutes. *points to link in her name.*

By: zann

zann — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:54:53 +0000

Apparently not. I’ve read it, but I admit it’s been a while. Why read something when if someone waits long enough they can a bad movie version and never have to actually think?

that’s definately the original Phantom with Lon Chaney

he wasn’t disfigured in a fire, he was born that way (has ANYONE read Gaston Leroux’s novel??)

By: Laurence

Laurence — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:06:30 +0000

Yup, that’s right. Michael Crawford was first, and Butler was in the film with the sunburn of doom.

By: Zontar

Zontar — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:06:55 +0000

And as long as folks are confusing their phantoms…wasn’t Michael Crawford the original half-masked romantic Phantom? Gerard Butler was only the Phantom in the poorly-received Joel Schumacher-directed film version, wasn’t he?

I know who that is and what movie it is. I was saying that it obviously wasn’t GB because he’s, well, yummy, and Lon isn’t.

Yeah, and because you’ve never seen it before, you’re right.

The half mask only came about for the musical. They started rehearsals using the mask from the book which covered the entire face, but found that it limited the actor’s performance too much. So they went with the now famous half mask.

You’re definitely right about the classic movie thing…people don’t realize what they’re missing.
(begin rant)
Anyway, that IS Lon Chaney as the Phantom of the Opera (because I’ve seen the film) and it’s sad that some people don’t know that. Lon Chaney created his own makeup as he frequently did. Also, the silent film was recently remastered and released on DVD and the masquerade scene was incredible–definitely worth a view.

That sounds like a totally *awesome* Christmas. My Dad’s German, not Bulgarian, but he still reminds me of Lugosi when Lugosi was in his Ed Wood phase. “Get out of my houuuse!”
