This is why the outside world isn't normal the two times we see it. The movie often succeeds in being darkly comedic, and the characters are only meant to be viewed in the sense of what the represent in the real world. This is Dario's world accept it or watch boring, visually stunted, formulaic directors rehash bad scripts in a conventional manner. Dario's pays great attention to detail when it comes to the look he wants, but seemingly could care less whether the set is plausible in the real world.
Argento creates a bizarre underworld in the depths of the opera house that is original, but at the same time evokes memories of Jeunet & Caro's City Of The Lost Children and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Virtually the entire movie takes place within the opera house, but this is in no way limiting or constricting to the look of the film because this is Dario Argento we are talking about. What makes this worse is that a totally literate phantom still has almost no chance to utter any decent dialogue. The problem is Dario replaces the disfigurement with a raised by rats story, yet we get a Richard Gere type of suave, supposedly poetic phantom instead of an uneducated Christopher Lambert in Greystoke. Many people are up in arms that the phantom's face isn't disfigured, but that is not the problem. Thus, it should be expected to be true to the original only where the writers, Gerard Brach and Dario Argento, see fit. Previous Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals to reach the screen include "Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar.This is not a remake it's a reconceptualization. The movie musical genre recently received a tremendous boost from "Chicago"'s triumph at the box office and at the Academy Awards, where it won the prize for Best Picture. The score includes such tunes as "Think of Me," "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," "The Point of No Return" and the title tune. The New York production ? originally starring Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman ? won seven 1988 Tony Awards including one for Best Musical.
