Hello Everyone. I just popped in for a moment to make my introduction. I am a huge Phantom fan. Fan of the book mostly. I do enjoy the musical but not so much the movies. I love the original, it fallowed the book. I enjoyed the recent movie based on the musical, even if the actor for Erik couldn't hit all the notes perfectly, he does an alright job. Just saying, he's not Crawford. Most of the movies bug me, mainly for a small reason. Erik is born deformed, not splashed with freaking acid. I know it's a bit of a neurotic complaint. But I don't believe it's too much to ask for them to fallow my favorite novel to a T. lol
I'm usually not so bad about movie translations of novels, but that one I am.
At the moment I am trying to find a good book that expands on the Phantom's back story. I know that there is one with "The Phantom" by Susan Kay. But I am looking for the best telling of said back story. Anyone know of others please don't hesitate to message me. :)
Well thank you all. Will talk to you all later.
