![]() ![]() Gerard Butler can act, not sing, the part. Try watching his parts again upon singing the reprise versions of “All I Ask of You” and “Masquerade”. The mask did not conceal the emotions because the eyes are very expressive. As seen on the live theater version, you will notice how, upon closer look, the emotions that engulfed OG are best expressed by looking through his eyes. Ramin Karimloo can sing and act the part of an obsessed psycho with murderous tendencies. Look at them as OG and Raoul, not as Gerard Butler and Patrick Wilson since in real life as of this writing, both actors are hot. In fact he ends up looking hotter than Raoul in the movie version. ![]() Of course, while Christine would be exposing OG later, nothing much is left for her to expose anymore. ![]() No deformities peeping from the black mask. OG was wearing a black mask small enough to show the right side of his forehead that is supposed to be deformed. Christine had to remove both the hood and the mask to expose OG before a live audience in the Paris Opera House. But since the character in his musical “Don Juan Triumphant” featured a man fully covered from head to foot, he found a way to sneak the role away from Ubaldo Piangi. OG still wore the conventional white mask. The masks used for “Why So Silent” and “Point of No Return” were small enough to make you doubt about the facial deformities too if they even existed. The deformed part of this face is just small enough for a single hand to cover it. No wonder after Christine tried to remove OG’s mask, all that OG had to do is cover his face with his hand. Most of the masks that OG used are more ornamental rather than tools used to cover his deformed face. The movable jaw of the Red Death mask made him look like Skeletor in a pirate outfit. The other mask used as Red Death covered even the lower part of the face. OG’s mask all throughout the musical was big enough to cover the deformed part of his face, giving you an idea how deformed the covered part could be. He left her there and closed the veil that covered the room. When Christine fainted at the sight of the life-sized doll bearing her likeness, OG carried her to his pearly shell-themed bed. When Christine fainted, OG carried her and chose a random flat surface like the boat to let her sleep. The lair was so detailed to the point that it displayed dolls and paintings of Christine just to portray OG’s obsession to his student. Not really organized but decent enough to suggest that it’s a hideout away from any individual that might discover that OG is not really a ghost. The lair was more like a room filled with stuff that OG has collected all throughout his stay under the Paris Opera House. He did not even laugh once the effects were heard from Carlotta. When OG chastised Carlotta for the toad remark, he was shown merely talking to himself waiting for the replaced mouth spray to take effect. His laughter echoed on the walls loud enough to make the real audience hear him too. When OG chastised Carlotta for the toad remark, his voice reverberated throughout the opera house loud enough for Carlotta to hear, selling the illusion further that he is a ghost trying to haunt Carlotta and the rest of the audience. It was harsh enough to clog her vocal chords and make her croak. It humanized OG in a way that the movie showed him swapping surreptitiously Carlotta’s mouth spray with something else. No explanation provided at how OG made her sound like that, supporting the image of OG as someone supernatural enough to cause damage to Carlotta’s voice.Ĭarlotta started croaking like a toad after getting her aide to spray liquid in her mouth as a dry mouth would affect singing. The diva demands went as far as making Monsieur Firmin drink wine from her shoe and making both opera directors join the rest of the aides in carrying her from her dressing room to the stage.Ĭarlotta started croaking like a toad in the middle of her performance in “Il Muto” after OG chastised him for calling Christine a toad. Her vanity is emphasized in the song as well as having more than 2 aides help her get dressed.Ĭarlotta got dressed for her role in “Il Muto” with Monsieur Andre joining her aides in getting her dressed. The moment she was shown singing her part in “Prima Donna”, Monsieur Andre was already shown helping her tighten her dress.Ĭarlotta got dressed for her role in “Il Muto” simply by going behind a dressing cover and getting changed right on stage. Furthermore, it was implied that just hours before “Il Muto” was staged, the opera directors are still trying to convince Carlotta to play the role of the Countess. She got dressed in the middle of her part.Ĭarlotta decided to accept the role of the Countess in “Il Muto” after Messieurs Firmin and Andre wooed her with several gifts. Carlotta decided to accept the role of the Countess in “Il Muto” upon singing her part in the song “Prima Donna”. ![]()
