I always really adored Gerard’s voice in Phantom. It’s the version I probably listen to the most because he has a nice, haunting/gravelly tone to his voice which works to give the character an edge. It maybe isn’t Broadway-style, but it adds something to the film’s performance.

@avasdollhouse3088

Жыл бұрын

I agree with you since phantom isn't supposed to be trained like others were of his time plus it says in the novel he is more advanced then the other singers of his time, his voice is beautiful

My friend and I used to argue about "Phantom" cause I loved Gerard's voice and she found it "wrong." He's not a trained operatic singer but his voice/style suits the role so well!

@tallyp.7643

Жыл бұрын

I feel ya. I actually prefer actors who will sing over singers who have to act in a film. Especially a film like this. They made the Phantom a self-taught genius, so he didn't have outside direction in is learning to sing (as a character). When you pick it up on your own, you'll have your own peculiarities. So it made sense to me, character wise that he wouldn't have that "perfect" operatic voice. He made up for it with his heightened emotions to stretch his ability. You can FEEL him. I like what he did, and considering how he acted, it makes sense. I thought he did great

Anyone who hasn’t seen it needs to watch it, early 2000’s Matthew Mccoughney is a modern day dragon slayer with Christain Bale and Butler it’s awesome. Plus the tech the used to create the dragons is still used in GOT and the hobbit

He doesn’t always pick the best scripts but I still watch whatever he puts out there, cuz he’s always holding up his end and turning in good performances.

It's refreshing to see an actor actually feel sincere and fun while going over his roles. He actually comes off as really genuine here.

My favorite actor. Literally will see ANY movie that he's in because he's that good. And I'm an opera singer and I thought he was awesome in Phantom despite it not being a "real" opera....

GB caught my attention when I saw him in Time Line. The Scene in the river holding on to the raft -- he took the audience to that moment and I said, this guys is going to be big. I have so enjoyed watching him grow in his career and have loved the entertainment along the way. Keep Going GB!

I like this guy even more now that I realize how passionate he talks about his roles. Dude looks like he enjoys every role he takes.

The Phantom is still hands down my favorite role of his. He portrayed that character is such a unique way that I truly fell in love with it. In my mind, no other 'Phantom' comes close to Gerard's--singing and acting wise.

Patrick Wilson and Gerard Butler were great in their roles in Phantom of The Opera. Two out of three ain't bad.

9:55 'I was always playing the other role, the hero' You also played the hero here, sir.

The way he talks about 300 and How to Train your Dragon is so heart warming, caught myself smiling at the screen. Really great guy.

Me to

I remember seeing Gerry for the first time in Dracula 2000. Not much of a movie, but his great looks hooked me. Never saw much of him after that and then one day I saw him in something else. Can’t remember what it was and sad to say that I hadn’t bothered to find out his name in Dracula 2000. So, I’m watching this guy in Phantom…striking in appearance and who had this peculiar smile that kept haunting me. Who was this guy? I knew I had seen him before, but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember where. For days, I kept running through my mind trying to place this guy. Even after learning his name, it still didn’t register with me, but even with his 1/2 of his face hidden behind a mask, there was that smile. Finally, it hit me. The Phantom guy is the Dracula guy. The way Gerry’s eye teeth sit behind his upper lip are very distinct. To a dentist, they would be considered misaligned, but to me, they give him a uniqueness. Sorta like the gap in Elijah Wood’s teeth. I heard people say some really ugly things about Elijah’s and Gerry’s teeth, but guess what? It was men doing the complaining! Having a perfect face isn’t necessarily what all find as beautiful. I happen to like that little quirky or non-standard look. Elijah Wood has the most gorgeous eyes. I loved him since I first saw him. It also doesn’t hurt that he and my son look so much alike, facially. Smiles such as Elijah and Gerry have are so endearing and both seem like very nice men, although I have heard that Gerry’s a womanizer. Thank goodness for low budget films. So many great actors and actresses have been born there.

"i felt Leonidas coming, i felt him into me" - Gerard butler

I loved his voice in Phantom of the Opera. I think a lot of people objected because they were so use to Michael Crawford's rendition, but I'd never seen the performance before the film, so I feel like I was coming in with unbiased eyes. He brought a very masculine feel to it. Can't really get on board with those who complain it doesn't fit with the novel because the musical doesn't fit with it at all either. It's ALW's vision, and he stated in an interview that he had always envisioned a more rock and roll sort of gruff vocal for that part.

I loved him as the Phantom! He made me love him and i felt so bad for him! My two sons watched this movie about 100 times and i have to say, i wished they would watch something else after that many times but there cannot be another Phantom than Gérard Butler!!

He's so passionate in acting, it's really fun to watch

The way he describes playing Leonidas, channeling him through an intense meditation in time--without him, 300 wouldn't be such a beloved movie!

I cannot believe you didn't include Ralph Fiennes version of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, in which Gerard Butler played Aufidias, Fiennes' principal antagonist. An electric, mesmerising, edge-of-your-seat performance by Butler that is so far above the generic Hollywood twaddle like London Has Fallen, Olympus Has Fallen etc. This is Shakespeare, done brilliantly. This is Butler at his finest.

Yeah, he is awesome as the phantom. No one can play phantom the way he can.

The Phantom of the Opera paved my way to getting hooked to musical, alongside the Cats. Believe me when I say this. As a kid who grew up in Sparta-age of internet, finding out that Eric, actually was Leonidas, and even sang the song himself, was an earth-shattering moment.

I'm on a binge watching every one of his movies. This is great in the middle of it. One of the best actors.

"This is Sparta" - his performance on 300 was epic and phenomenal.

I could watch him talk forever. He just seems to be such an honest and humble personality.

He was great in Phantom, I was really surprised to find out A: that HE was the Phantom, and B: that he did his own singing.

He seems like a really nice guy. After watching this video I had so much more respect for him as an actor andca person. Thank you, GB. For being a nice guy.
