Two death-row murderesses develop a fierce rivalry while competing for publicity, celebrity, and a sleazy lawyer's attention.
We had seen only the original silent movie, not the stage play, (or even the soundtrack) before going. Unable to leave or receive outside help, Stuart's negotiation with the caller leads to a jaw-dropping climax. Gerard Butler (the Phantom), Emmy Rossum (the National Board of Review Breakthrough Performance Award winner as Christine) and Patrick Wilson (as Raoul) play the fateful love triangle that unfurls in splendor, suspense - and in the music of the night. [Christine is being lured towards the Phantom, tricked into thinking he is the spirit of her father]

[Christine hands him the mask] [singing] A disfigured musical genius, hidden away in the Paris Opera House, terrorizes the opera company for the unwitting benefit of a young protégée whom he trains and loves. The ghost demands they keep giving his protégé lead roles. An Irish journalist writes a series of stories about drug dealers. Directed by Joel Schumacher. In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter. He finally drives the lead soprano crazy so she and her friend leave. I don't know who Emmy Rossum is, but she wins my 'tweet of the day' vote (Original post)
