I recently went to see the famous Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. It was good, but not like the legend has described it. I also saw the one in New York City long time ago; same good but not earth-shaken. So trying to figure out the legend, I watch an old promotional clip on u tube played by the first Phantom Michael Crawford - OMG! What an amazing performing artist and singer he is! Nobody has mesmerized me like that in my whole entire life! So I bought this DVD. It shows the real man behind the mask - He is even more incredible! This DVD detailed Michael's extraordinary life honestly and sincerely. His sensitive heart, personal triumphs and struggles, and his amazing talent is truly inspiring. The only thing I don't like about this DVD is the part when it takes us to Las Vegas (Michael did a show there), it uses some clips of topless dancers to represent part of Las Vegas - That really wasn't necessary. Michael is anything but that. There are Plenty of extravagant stuffs, street scenes, hotels, casinos, and actions to portray Las Vegas. The DVD should be consistent with Michael Crawford's personality and life. I am sure Michael sees the excitement of Las Vegas through a child's eye as he does with many things; you can choose what you want to see you know! Anyway, through this DVD I see a heartfelt beauty oozing out of him so delicately and yet powerfully. You can feel his kindness, compassion, honesty, and noble characters through his talking. And he is not afraid of show his sadness either! Very very inspiring DVD. I hope they will update it and cut the topless dancers part out, and I will buy it again in a heartbeat and watch it with my family.Read full review
Tony Palmer's Film about Michael Crawford is a great story about famous English entertainer and the Original and the Best Phantom of the Opera. It told partially by Michael Crawford himself, partially by means of episode of his movie and documentary shots of his privat life. A sincerity and spontaneity of Michael's monologue are truly amazing. A film gives a demonstration not only of a huge range of Crawford's talents. It also shows him like an wonderful person with a tender loving heart. i like this film a lot. And I could understand all words, despite the fact that English isn't my native language. I decide to buy this DVD because I already had VHS of this film, but it completely worned-out!
