I read a mag interview he did years ago just after the film came out &he said he hated not just having the makeup on because it was SO uncomfortable, but because when he was in full makeup shooting the scenes he was actually UPSET by the looks & reactions he received from those working on the set - even though it wasnt real. It made him realise I think how terrible it was for someone to have any kind of deformity, &he really got upset by it personally as well to be looked at like that.

I for one think (without seeing the whole movie or being a gerard butler fan) that making the scars much less frightfully in this movie showed the cruel nature of the people back then and their easy judgment made based on the pshysical appeareance. You don't have to be totally disfigured to be watched different in society, you just need to have sometimes a little scar an bang! Everything changes. For this adaptation they did well in my opinion. For THIS adaptation which is very good in it's way.

I think the deformity works better in some shots than others. I think it depends on the lighting, and how much the redness comes through.
@satyendrandonibanerjee8682
Жыл бұрын
Personally I think the hair also de-tracks from what was actually done to his face I also think the deformity is simply too small and that also has to do with the fact that the mask was too small. I feel like if they had the mask go down to about his upper lip and around the upper part of his jaw, that would have given the makeup artist more room to work with on his face and maybe create something far more ghastly that what was put on screen. I also think they should have went with him being completely bald that way we could have gotten a real disgusting look not just on the one side of his face but on his head as well. The behind-the-scenes really do show the potential that this makeup had but again because of the way it was shot and the lighting it just looks more like a mild sunburn that can probably be covered up with some contour rather than a serious deformity.

Counterpoint: In the book, erik is described as having no nose or lips, and having a skeletal face that was so horrifying to look at that even the daroga couldn’t bear to look at him. The phantom needs to look gruesome because it drives the plot. It is where his pain comes from - having a face so horrible that no one, not even his mother - could bear to look at him, let alone love him.

@@la_esmeralda444 true. this film was the one that introduced me to POTO, and i loved many moments from it, but his face... i was so disappointed even without reading a book yet. i understand how they maybe wanted him to look more attractive for female audience, but there is a way to make him attractive _and_ canonically accurate (and a lot if artists will tell you just exactly that lmao). and even with that, he doesn't have to be attractive. the whole point of the Phantom is that his voice and his personality are charming and his love is pure in the end, and this is why readers loved his character. Butler can play good, and i really loved him in this film (tho there were moments in his Phantom's behaviour i didn't agree with), but to hear someone say that he felt uncomfortable with this kind of a simple sun burn?.. am i not getting something, or i just have very low standarts for man's appearances? :D

His name is Erik. When the book says "it's not his 'real' name", it's because he has no registred identidy and his abusive mother never named him. But his name was decided to be ERIK, by himself. If it's not registred in the law, then he doesn't exist? How people still misunderstand this and insist to call Erik "The Phantom" or a "nameless legend" is still unnerving and increible to me.

I think, the overall emotional drive of the film is displayed better than that of the play. Both great, but the movie does it for me more.

Honestly, whether its the stage plays horrific corpse face or the movies warped features, I think both work because they exemplify how, first of all, Erik allows himself to become as monsterous as he appears and secondly, it shows the cruelty of people. That no matter how talented and extrordinary Erik was, even half his face being warped was enough for people to scorn him and demonize him

True, in the 19th century, it was a big deal to them. Any type of deformity and you'd be called a freak. Every adaptation is different - that does not mean that it is bad. It is not important how disfigured he is, it is how disfigured he feels which is what leads him down a dark path. His own mother and society made him feel like an ugly, worthless person.

maybe they could have made it a little more gruesome, but I'm my opinion (and I'm sure not everyone will agree) I think that the disfigurement didn't need to be really terrible, it was also the fact that no matter what he looked like under the mask, people didn't want him and didn't like him, and so maybe that made him think his disfigurement is a lot worse than what it actually is.

It would have been interesting if they'd gone for a full face deformity for this movie, given that the half-mask is used in the musical only because a full mask wouldn't work with the stage microphones. It would tie in with the logo and make it something 'different' than what's seen on stage. Though given they went with the vague sunburn look here, I don't think they would be ballsy enough to go full-face ugly. It also suffers because Gerard's Phantom has the droopy eye socket with the mask off but in all the scenes where he's wearing a mask, his undereye area looks fine, and there's no hint the mask is anything more than a fashion accessory. At least during the stage version, you still see hints of the deformity with the mask on, especially with the mouth and bloated lips. It reminds you of what's under the mask, and ups the visual suspense until you see the full reveal.

Probably because they went through all this trouble getting a "young, sexy" phantom and couldn't bear to ugly up that pretty face. Have you seen the original disfigurement from the play? Or Lon Chaney's face? THAT is something to hid in a mask

I wished that the make-up could have looked more gruesome too, it made Erik seem like a whiny bitch for blaming everything on his face when it really isn't that bad. However, I do like how that may be the tragedy in itself: He spent his life focusing on something that isn't that big of a deal and wasted his chance at happiness. It adds weight to Christine's line: "This haunted face Holds no horror for me now. It's in your soul That the true distortion lie" So in the movie, she's basically saying "You ain't that ugly, but you are pretty fucked up mane"

Well said!
I read a mag interview he did years ago just after the film came out &he said he hated not just having the makeup on because it was SO uncomfortable, but because when he was in full makeup shooting the scenes he was actually UPSET by the looks & reactions he received from those working on the set - even though it wasnt real. It made him realise I think how terrible it was for someone to have any kind of deformity, &he really got upset by it personally as well to be looked at like that.

I for one think (without seeing the whole movie or being a gerard butler fan) that making the scars much less frightfully in this movie showed the cruel nature of the people back then and their easy judgment made based on the pshysical appeareance. You don't have to be totally disfigured to be watched different in society, you just need to have sometimes a little scar an bang! Everything changes. For this adaptation they did well in my opinion. For THIS adaptation which is very good in it's way.

Personally I think the hair also de-tracks from what was actually done to his face I also think the deformity is simply too small and that also has to do with the fact that the mask was too small. I feel like if they had the mask go down to about his upper lip and around the upper part of his jaw, that would have given the makeup artist more room to work with on his face and maybe create something far more ghastly that what was put on screen. I also think they should have went with him being completely bald that way we could have gotten a real disgusting look not just on the one side of his face but on his head as well. The behind-the-scenes really do show the potential that this makeup had but again because of the way it was shot and the lighting it just looks more like a mild sunburn that can probably be covered up with some contour rather than a serious deformity.
Wow I can't believe I just realized that this is gerard butler just had to face palm my self really super hard. ♥

Counterpoint: In the book, erik is described as having no nose or lips, and having a skeletal face that was so horrifying to look at that even the daroga couldn’t bear to look at him. The phantom needs to look gruesome because it drives the plot. It is where his pain comes from - having a face so horrible that no one, not even his mother - could bear to look at him, let alone love him.

@@la_esmeralda444 true. this film was the one that introduced me to POTO, and i loved many moments from it, but his face... i was so disappointed even without reading a book yet. i understand how they maybe wanted him to look more attractive for female audience, but there is a way to make him attractive _and_ canonically accurate (and a lot if artists will tell you just exactly that lmao). and even with that, he doesn't have to be attractive. the whole point of the Phantom is that his voice and his personality are charming and his love is pure in the end, and this is why readers loved his character. Butler can play good, and i really loved him in this film (tho there were moments in his Phantom's behaviour i didn't agree with), but to hear someone say that he felt uncomfortable with this kind of a simple sun burn?.. am i not getting something, or i just have very low standarts for man's appearances? :D

His name is Erik. When the book says "it's not his 'real' name", it's because he has no registred identidy and his abusive mother never named him. But his name was decided to be ERIK, by himself. If it's not registred in the law, then he doesn't exist? How people still misunderstand this and insist to call Erik "The Phantom" or a "nameless legend" is still unnerving and increible to me.
Even with the deformity he still looks pretty handsome. He has NEVER looked ugly. And I'm not just saying that cause he's my favorite actor. XD

The stage make up has to be like it is. The disfigurement needs to be seen right at the back of the theatre.
Yeah maybe the disfigurement could of been better but I don't really think the 25th anniversary is acted better, may be sung better on the Phantoms half but, Gerard's voice suits it more for me, its more mysterious and sexy, and easier to connect with him more than Ramin. I think, the overall emotional drive of the film is displayed better than that of the play. Both great, but the movie does it for me more.

That sense always make cry when Christine brings back the phantom’s ring and then he sings Christine I love you
I'm sorry I know one side of his face looks scary from his past but that is what makes him so beautiful. The phantom is beautifully broken and needs beauty to heal him. If i were Christine I would of stayed with Phantom.
at age 6 i feel in love with POTO and Gerard, 6 years later im here again and still love POTO...i need a life.....
Girls. I just want to tell you, that in the books he looks nothing like he does in the movie. He has like three hairs on his head, his face is unrecognizable... I mean, if you saw him on the street, you wouldn't automatically think, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND ARTSY PERSON!. no, truthfully, although I do like this version of phantom. Sincerely, to everyone who read the book
I hate how poor this "deformity" is, but bruh, Gerard Butler was so great as Erik! His acting and his voice fited completely to Erik, and he's such a good gentle fellow! The 2004 movie is magnificent, althought they missed the deformity.
Honestly, whether its the stage plays horrific corpse face or the movies warped features, I think both work because they exemplify how, first of all, Erik allows himself to become as monsterous as he appears and secondly, it shows the cruelty of people. That no matter how talented and extrordinary Erik was, even half his face being warped was enough for people to scorn him and demonize him

True, in the 19th century, it was a big deal to them. Any type of deformity and you'd be called a freak. Every adaptation is different - that does not mean that it is bad. It is not important how disfigured he is, it is how disfigured he feels which is what leads him down a dark path. His own mother and society made him feel like an ugly, worthless person.
I keep watching the movie over and over and I see that when Christine takes his mask off his whole face changes
pause at 1:32 and put your hand over the left part of his face. HES STARING INTO ME SOUL!
I think when they do the eyebrow makeup, it makes him go from good looking to super hot. . .
man i love his voice just in general!!!!!!!
1:35 SO CUTE! ⏱⏰🕰⌚️
And can i say at first he killed to escape and then no one showed him compassion or love so he killed them like erick said" the world showed no compassion to me "
maybe they could have made it a little more gruesome, but I'm my opinion (and I'm sure not everyone will agree) I think that the disfigurement didn't need to be really terrible, it was also the fact that no matter what he looked like under the mask, people didn't want him and didn't like him, and so maybe that made him think his disfigurement is a lot worse than what it actually is.
So much for the effort that you see him just about 30 minutes without a mask. So much effort every day!
His EYES!!!
It would have been interesting if they'd gone for a full face deformity for this movie, given that the half-mask is used in the musical only because a full mask wouldn't work with the stage microphones. It would tie in with the logo and make it something 'different' than what's seen on stage. Though given they went with the vague sunburn look here, I don't think they would be ballsy enough to go full-face ugly. It also suffers because Gerard's Phantom has the droopy eye socket with the mask off but in all the scenes where he's wearing a mask, his undereye area looks fine, and there's no hint the mask is anything more than a fashion accessory. At least during the stage version, you still see hints of the deformity with the mask on, especially with the mouth and bloated lips. It reminds you of what's under the mask, and ups the visual suspense until you see the full reveal.
1:37 We hate it too man. We hate it too.
Watch the 25th Anniversary Concert with Ramin Karimloo! You won't be disappointed with the disfigurement ;) (plus it's sung/acted and generally better than the movie in every way)
I LOVE gerard butler!!
Le plus beau film que j'ai jamais vue. ❤️
The original make-up for the 1925`s Lon Chaney Sr.`s "Phantom of The Opera"' will be always more haunting and heart-breaking nowadays than the make-up of the last version of the "Phantom of the Opera"' for me...If you could watch the original Unmasking Scene several times, you can feel the fear and the fierceness of those facial and body expressions saying everything that need to be said without using any words !
gerry you are my angel of music... i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
you are the best phantom played ever mr buttler, you make this character so.....
ya and i recommend the play! i saw it last week and i cant begin to tell you how great it was!
The book is the book, and will always be the original, nothing will change that. I don't know why people seek perfection. I for one love when they make some changes in on-screen adaptations. It shows a "what if..." side that you never thought about and explores new depths. Just sayin'!
Gosh I have a crush on the phantom haha 😍😘
God I think I just saw how amazing makeup can be. Watching the process, yup ,yup.
So he did have makeup on! (Like eyebrows, mascara, blush, contour, etc)
OMG I’m in love with the phantom the make up is cool and he still looks good if I seen him unmasked like that I’d give him a kiss on that side before kissing him on the mouth and say to me your just perfect
I'm surprised Joel Schumacher said that was disfigured enough, when he directed Batman Forever which gave us a cool looking Two-Face.
i love him
He’s so cute 😭😭😭😭
But Gerard Butler is soooo beautiful! He can't be considered ugly! Not even with a disfigurement!😍🥰
actually, the whole "burned as a child" thing depends on what version you go by. I've never read the book, but I don't think that's part of it. I still think they got cheap on the disfigurement. Probably because they went through all this trouble getting a "young, sexy" phantom and couldn't bear to ugly up that pretty face. Have you seen the original disfigurement from the play? Or Lon Chaney's face? THAT is something to hid in a mask
LOL, 1:36 cracks me up!!! yes, im commenting on lots of you vids ~evil laugh~ i swear im not stalking.... thanks for posting these, your awsome
@aniva26 It's a wig. You can see him adjusting it during "Seal my Fate" -- and a spare wig on a stand in the background, too -- and then Christine pulls it off during "The Point of No Return".
I NEVER NEW HE WAS SCOTTISH ALL THESE YEARS AS I WATCHED THIS MOVIE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF TIMES I NEVER NEW HE WAS BORN IN SCOTLAND
Is it weird he sings like a English person and he really talks like a Scottish man. So hot😍😂
People are saying this makeup doesn't look as "intense" as the stage versions. Well...yeah. Stage makeup HAS to be intense so that even people up in the nosebleed section can see it. In film that's not the case.
“But I hated it.” Lol me too but he wore it greatly.
It might be my dark side but I find the phantom insanely attractive, I could probably fall into his dark world
No Gerard Butler (the phantom) is actually attractive. He is scottish, YAY SO AM I!!!
I wished that the make-up could have looked more gruesome too, it made Erik seem like a whiny bitch for blaming everything on his face when it really isn't that bad. However, I do like how that may be the tragedy in itself: He spent his life focusing on something that isn't that big of a deal and wasted his chance at happiness. It adds weight to Christine's line: "This haunted face Holds no horror for me now. It's in your soul That the true distortion lie" So in the movie, she's basically saying "You ain't that ugly, but you are pretty fucked up mane"
My thoughts on Ramin is, He has a pretty face, and he sings okay, but I see the phantom singing more like Ben or deeper like Gerards. Ramin isn't a favorite, but he isn't bad.
Gerry made a remarkable Phantom. Attractive, despite scars.
THIS MAN... IS MY IDOL... I LOVE YOU MY PHANTOM!! *O*
I find him more attractive with the mask...

the eye thing is cool disturbing and weirdd but still cool amazing how he does that by himself
@MsAliciaSelena agreed, but you have to give Gerard props for doing what he did in such a short amount of time: he's never had singing lessons and managed to perform fantastically well. Plus, they had to have a fairly well known name for the movie
There's a penny arcade comic about the movie Beastly that also applies to this, where the "deformed" guy says he's tormented, and she replies "I love you, even though you're so cool and rad."
well, Christine is lucky to have a phantom like him :">
Its crazy how Gerard Butler in general & him as the phantom, there like 2 completely different people and looks, he played the phantom so well,you wouldin't even recognize that Gerry played the phantom,cuz Gerry is like this chill funny guy, and as the phantom he is like this evil,and mysterious man. I dont know why but he looks better as the phantom for some reason, too bad that phantom character isin't real, still Gerry is very handsome & good looking,but Gosh when he stransforms...HOT
Sorry for the late reply, but I think I read that there was a hidden string that somehow attached to the lower part of his eye. Pulling down on the string made his eye do that weird thing he just demonstrated. (I even heard the other cast members would pick on him by coming up and pulling on the string - which was very uncomfortable!) Hope this helps!

i might be wrong but i thought that was the point, thats it is a disfigurement but its not really that bad and the phantom just builds it up in his head aswell that hes a monster, which he is but for physco issues not physical issues

@Poet0fDarkness666 fail spelling i know i was excited and typed to fast but you get the general idea
I think this is a grand movie, but I think the deformity should have been worse, after all it was supposedly so bad that his own mother could not bear to look at him. However to fit it under that half mask, I understand there's only so much they can do.
When ever i hear his voice, i think of Hiccup's father on How I Train Your Dragon...
Lord have mercy.. He is one fine ass man
