Besides being very similar to the book, the film overall was… interesting. While watching I noticed that some lines were exact lines from the book so I thought that was cool. Next is the 1987 animated film with Aiden Grennell and Collette Proctor.

Bottom line, good adaptation and if you can sit through a silent film then I’d recommend you give it a watch! 1987 Anyways, the ending wasn’t like the book but most adaptations seem to have a different ending. I hated the ending, but that’s a whole other manner. The only thing that really wasn’t like the book was the ending. And not only for what I mentioned above but there are also a of bunch other scenes from the book that made it into this movie. This movie is so far the one most similar to the book, which is why it is number one. The Daroga was in it but he wasn’t named the Daroga, instead he was a chief of police person which kind of made me sad but at least there was someone representing the Daroga. One thing that I was super happy to see was the inclusion of Raoul’s brother Phillip! And not only did they include the brother but they also included !!!SPOILER ALERT!!! His death, no adaptation has had that.

First place goes to the 1925 silent film with Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin! This was a well done film, I was pleasantly surprised! This book followed along with the book and I was really happy to see that! One thing that I found a bit weird was Carlotta’s mom was in it and from what I’ve interpreted she is an age where her mom wouldn’t be very involved in her career.
