Love Never Dies (2012)
Comparison
This film, on the one hand, continues the well-known story of 'The Phantom of the Opera'. On the other hand, it is the next episode of "The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall", produced on 2011 by Weber.
As I went through the reviews, I realized that most of them have a comparative mood, based on the two items that I mentioned above. It seems a bit unfair to judge a movie based on other successful works. However, when the authors and producers decided to shoot such a movie, they should have anticipated such biased reviews. I, myself, am on the comparative side and I think this is a weak offspring of what we watched before. Most of the elements, from music, acting and manuscripts to cinematography and cutting are awful compared with the precedents.
A Woman's Face (1941)
Realism of Narrations
It's not a complete review, but only a review of the main theme of this movie. As the whole movie presents the story, it is told by different characters. The fact that their stories are in order and help us to understand the story very clear is very nice. Also, the points of view are considered very well, by means of for example everyone is able to state only the part that he/she was available. However, the stories are told as facts, not as parts of facts that were perceived by flesh and blood humans. Humans are full of emotions and values, just like the house-keeper who was exaggeratedly jealous. They should have told their stories from their points of view, by means of the very story itself not only the place. Although their judges and dialogues in the court were value-based, but their stories were the exact reality (I suppose that the reason is to make the story as straight-forward as possible).
