When the chandelier comes crashing down, it's not a shock, it's a historical reenactment. The story is thin beer for the time it takes to tell it, and the music is maddeningly repetitious. I do not think Lloyd Webber wrote a very good musical.
In this version, any red-blooded woman would choose the Phantom over Raoul, even knowing what she knows now.īut what I am essentially disliking is not the film, but the underlying material. The character of Raoul, Christine's nominal lover, has always been a fatuous twerp, but at least in the 1925 version, Christine is attracted to the Phantom only until she removes his mask. The modern Phantom is more like a perverse Batman with a really neat cave. Where appropriate, other trademarks & copyrights remain property of their owners.There was something unwholesome and pathetic about the 1925 Phantom, who scuttled like a rat in the undercellars of the Paris Opera and nourished a hopeless love for Christine.

Many film and stage productions have been adapted from it, over the years. The Phantom of the Opera was a French novel by Gaston Leroux, first published in 1910. This game was produced from January 1990 to June 1990. We previously listed the Manufacture Date as April, 1990. Paul Faris states his daughter was his model for the Christine Dae character on the backglass. Excluding the specially-equipped speakers, no other differences have been identified from later production games except, reportedly, some different sound bites were used on the ROMs.
