Angel of Music: Love me, that's all I ask of you

Took forever, but I finally got to see the movie "Phantom of the Opera". It was released in the US for mid-december and it only really began to show here like a week or so ago. I was dying to see it because the reviews had been great and all the rave about the music and the fashion was incredible. So, when we went to dump off someone at the airport, we stopped at one of only two theaters that are showing it here in PR. Though my family had some misgivings about seeing it, we all went to see it.

Now, I must be honest about what I thought about it... I LOVED IT! The music had me completely enraptured and the scenes were so magical and the action was so vibrant that it was utterly breathtaking. True, I will admit that in some parts it probably would have been more practical that the speak instead of sing. That made some parts more tedious than anything else, but it really did not detract from the over all effect. I am completely sure that I will have the music stuck in my head for abotu another week or more. That is usually the case with these sorts of musicals.

If only I could see it again so I can gawk at the actor who played the phantom. I felt that the woman who played Christine could have been prettier after all the fuss they made out of here in the movie. But still... it was just a whirlwind of great romance. And anyone who knows me knows that I am all for that sort of thing. If only I could go and find myself such a tortured artist who will love me for all eternity...
