Last Sunday we watched the Phantom of the Opera. Years ago I saw the musical with my parents and Ettie, which was very impressive and I have great memories of that show. The movie was very good. I liked the fact that there was so much music in it — it would have been a shame if they let the best part of the show, the music, out.It’s a beautiful story, with a tragic element in it. The movie had a lot humor also, especially the non-stop drinking in the theater was displayed nicely. Those jokes reminder me of Terry Pratchet’s book that was inspired by the opera.
