So the finished cut where the chandelier crashes was SHOT ONLY ONE TIME!?!?!? I am shook. The crash is so epic in the movie.
Yeah only take at this absolutely no do-overs so they had a lot of money riding on what one of the BTS guys said “about 15-25 seconds at most” so yeah one take is all they had
or if there was a glitch in reality
*INFINITE CHANDELIER SUPLY*
Can we just appreciate the fact that they literally set their set on FIRE for this
*Chandelier Falls*
*People Scream and Run Out*
*Firemen Come and Extinguish the Fire*
My fantasy has come to an end...
The Phantom of the opera is my all time favorite movie. I'm a fan of both the broadway version and the movie version.
compared to theWest End version it is rubbish
@@farodealer,no, the movie is the only best version!!!!!💯
@@farodealer How you dare? This movie is one of the most phenomenal works of art ever created. This is the more realistic version of the story with the characters.
1:44 Even though the chandelier wasn't going to hit them, it must've been absolutely TERRIFYING for the actors in the seats to be there. The heartbeats of adrenaline must've been RUSHING
I did not expect the chandelier-crashing scene to be screened ONCE
I didn't expect the SPICE GIRLS to do a one take music video! ...
Every time I'd watch the movie and see the chandelier crash I'm like NO NOT THE PRETTY CHANDELIER
Claire Smith same
Claire Smith sake
I'm similar but also think of how, at the start of the movie, the whole Opera Populare is in such a dilapidated state and it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful building reduced to such a state. The Chandelier, you could say, was the the tangible start of its reduction to ruin.
I know, right!? But at least it's considerate enough to fall in a gradual trajectory so as to scare everyone to death but let them avoid being crushed - class act! We'll leave aside how it makes no sense for a single rope *onstage* to be cut and somehow cause this to happen, nor for fire to be exploding out the windows immediately thereafter (edit: someone explained the latter below, but I refuse to accept the plausibility of the former).
Oh, and I suppose more importantly: killing the tenor was really un-called for. :(
Gotta love the guy on the right that willingly just lights some more fire.
Lol
It was all worthy, the scene is completely fantastic! My favorite scene of "Crash Chandelier" in the Phantom Adaptation Story!
I could get in touch with this opera thanks to the movie with Italian subtitles. This woke my love for this opera piece. It's admirable to see what you can do in ONE shot! Concentration, coordination, precision, filmed from the right corners, so great!
I love this part of the phantom of the opera, I don't know that the theatre was so small and have few people, but is a very exciting effect.
What gets me is the entire auditorium, lobby, and offices go up in flame, yet the backstage area is still completely intact.
Bassically "You will curse the day you did not do all that the phantom asked of you" and he climbs up the the chandlier screams and it falls.
Should it actually happened in late 1800s, the fire would likely sprawling in seconds because municipal buildings on those days were using centralized gas system. It's a short-lived system for that era. So, the dramatizations of the explosion on Opera Populaire is quite accurate. Later on, just several years after the incident, electricity was introduced...you can see in Anna Karenina, Dorian Gray...scones were equipped with lightbulbs and the gas system was eventually abandoned for good.
In the flashforward bit (where they're auctioning the damaged chandelier) the auctioneer does say it's been "wired for the new electric light" so from that you know that pretty much all of the lights at the time of the disaster were either gas or candles.
Thanks for that explanation! Although it remains unclear to me how fire is exploding through all the windows while people inside are not wholly engulfed in flames.... And HOW did cutting one rope onstage lead to this catastrophe!?
The chandelier is TOO gorgeous to crash!
the guy at 2:03 who falls is my spirit animal. 10/10 favourite character from Phantom 😍
S
i love seeing chandeliers crashing it makes me feel like my purpose in this world is to see things getting destroyed :DDD
your not alone XD
Prince Lemongrab I just love to see all the people running its just so funny
Holy hell this set is so small!
All of it is really compared to the real Paris Opera House interior scale. Check out the Masquerade scene, the staircase is MUCH smaller than what the original is, they just really condensed it all down, making the Opera House less grand than what it should be.
@@Dan-ky5es and honestly that could be said of nearly every theatre auditorium.
@@Dan-ky5es Couldn't they just film it on-location? They couldn't close the opera house for a few days in the offseason? I mean, it would only be for mascarade and then the crash would be on a set.
@Jm6802 A shame Phantom closed permanently in London
@Jm6802 No, it's closing permanently. Like, it's not gonna reopen after Covid.
WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS MOVIE ANS WOULD ABSOLUTLY LOOOOVVVVVEEEE TO SEE IT ON STAGE!!!!!!
I was a extra on the film and this scene
Ooh, was it fun? Were people actually tripping over each other or was that scripted
We just went with it trying to get out. Stunt people did all the rest. I know i got pushed in my back. It was one shot and that was it.
Coooooool!
Wow! An extra who survived the final take! Thanks for dropping in! (Cough! Do you see what I did there?)😄
Yes. Good
Phantom of the Opera was the best live show I ever watched!!
I'm gonna be yelled at for typing this in for So many hate the movie
I LIKE ANY PHANTOM OF THE OPERA THINGS THERE ALL SO GOOD 😃
🤷 This version is the best and got a many millions of fans!
What makes a good phantom of the opera movie:
- chandelier crash
- cape flipping
- Christine
- phantom
Which is why i love this movie and hate the 1943 version
Magnificent and gorgious movie!!! Even better than "gone with the wind". Why didn't it get a bunch of oscars?!🤷
The chandelier honestly looks gorgeous. So huge and sparkly. Very clean. The chandelier’s fire can burn you very badly. It can’t result into chandeliers getting bigger like in Harry Potter, the chandelier can result in dropping by mistake, and getting fire all over your clothes. That can happen, but chandeliers can be big, some can be small.
@EvanescentWoodNymph I'm guessing you saw it at Las Vegas. Originally in the London production (and still now) the chandelier crashes at the end of act one, after 'All I Ask Of You (reprise)'. However, in the film and at the Las Vegas production, he crashes it after 'Point of No return'. Hope that help! :)
if only they actually dropped a real chandelier every time I went to go see this show...
@ILarious49145 It's the conductor when he jumps over the little wall separating the orchestra and audience.
that's movie magic for you
That was freaking awesome
That’s so awesome
@PhantomPhan05 Also, the chandelier crashes in act one originally because of the book, where he crashes it halfway through.
In my country we say "σιγά τον πολυέλαιο!!!". BTW I love this film !!!
dvd of movie it so good
This was very cool, but hope they had a spare set or they had all of the scenes with the theater in it first 😅
just amazing
LOVE IT! AWESOME!!
~Xion~
I fricken love this.
Hey, I may not like this movie, but I'll admit it, the chandelier crash was kind of cool.
why dont you like the phantom of the opera i mean alot of poeple where killed in the mivie *SPOLIER ALERT* but why dont you like it?
Lexi Cincent Well, I actually really love the stage play, but I think the movie pales in comparison to seeing the 25th anniversary or live on Broadway (especially with the less-than-stellar singing and the lackluster deformity).
Phantom Critic it doesn't look good probably like the Broadway version if I had not seen the movie first and falling in love with Christine Daaes voice and with the Phantom's voice and with Rauls voice and handsome/beautiful features!!!
Phantom Critic The Broadway play was fantastic
Pure movie shooting. At first I mistaken it was CGI.
iconic
JESUS THAT WAS ONE TAKE!?
LOL that was so sweet! I love watching the people run around in the not movie version they showed shortly
OHMYGOSH IT EXPLODED!
As Johh McLaughlin sang, it sure was a "BEAUTIFUL DISASTER" to watch!
Doc would say it will be a spectacular crash!
and i think it helps set the mood and plot for act 2.
Yeah but some of the best movie magic is done by actually doing it =p
In the Vegas Production, it happens after Point of No Return right when Christine pulls the mask off. Meg sees Piangi dead on the bed screaming, and then the Phantom yells BRING DOWN THE CHANDELIER, runs offstage with Christine and then it crashes!
im shook
And I'm screaming after they cut: THE SCENOGRAPHY IS BURNING!!!! Hahahahahahaa
They should do the same special effects on stage 8 times a week. It would cost a fortune!
the phatom of Opera so good moive to me
Why ,,to u"?!
Andrew Lloyd Webber just walking casually and everyone being calm about it
I want that chandeleir but im afraid that if im mad ill crash it and blow up my street
cool.
There was no chandelier harmed during this video
Except for the one that... Exploded...
Fire
@PhantomPhan05
I love when the chandelier make the stage on fire?
lolz I always wondered what happened to the conductor after he jumped that wall in the movie. He crawls really fast! haha!
And I can't help but laugh when I watch this. Those people were just running all over the place like chickens with their heads cut off. I mean, they're running from 1 side of the theater to the other at 2:10 and running into each other so, I think they'd all kinda be screwed if that chandelier actually crashed O.o
I don't think it was supposed to catch on fire lol. Did yall hear the WOAH
I think they assumed it would (ie the firemen) but even knowing something is going to happen can be startling.
+grace reynolds Yea lol
It WAS supposed to...didn't you see the men spraying the curtains 00:56
Who else is here Phantom left broadway? 😞
Lol he’s saying “live theater can’t get replaced “ while burning a theater
fire
Wow, I wonder how many times they had to film this?
1!
jerard batler
@PhantomPhan05 D: Damn. Once again, I am a cursed Nevadan. So I haven't even seen the show properly yet! I would see it in NYC, but I want to see Love Never Dies (guilty pleasure)- I don't even know how it would seem with the chandelier crashing at AIAoY! Since I've only seen the movie and and Vegas show. -.- I hate Vegas. We're stupid.
I don't think the whole "flames devouring the curtains all the way to the ceiling" thing was necessarily planned...
Is it bad i want that chandelier in my humongous ballroom
Is it bad that I want it in my room
How do they do it in the live show
BagOfSticksFork it’s usually on a rope like thing and let it go but stop it quickly, they have a certain spot cut off just for the chandelier
Not me wishing I was there running away from a chandelier
@EvanescentWoodNymph I would see Love Never Dies, I've seen it and it's great! :D Don't worry it's not that different it crashing at AIAoY, type it into UA-cam (All I ask of you reprise) and there'll be loads! ;)
Which theatre is this? It's wonderful.
geor cas its a movie set actually!!
geor cas For the Phantom of the Opera 2004 Movie.
The theater is based of the opera garnier
They spent too much effort in executing this scene HOWEVER it makes no sense that the chandelier only fell when Gerard Butler cut a rope which was just a prop on the stage, it's not supposed to be connected to the chandelier at all
In the story, the phantom rigged it that way. Everyone thought it was just a prop, when it was actually a trigger.
HUE HUE HUE
I’m actually surprised nobody got hurt
Wtf?! Did they change it since I went to see the stage show in '09? 'Cause the chandelier crashed at the end of Past the Point of No Return when I saw it! It crashed in the audience, then it was sucked back up into the ceiling and we never sawr it again... How could it crash during act one? The end of it is on the roof! *confusion*
They go back inside, and he brings down the chandelier as the emotional response to having his heart broken. The original production (and most productions, actually) do it at the end of Act I. I think it’s just the production you saw that had the chandelier drop at the end of Point of No Return.
@The1andOnlyCG they wanted it to be real not fake....
They should crash it just like this in the live production.
I disagree. I'm sorry, but no.
That would be cool but way to dangerous
I saw this live last week and they used the actual chandelier at the theater they rigged it would fall safely about 10 ft above the audience. So it didn’t actually crash but it did shake and fall.
The issue with that is, in the stage production Christine gets pushed out of the way and just narrowly gets missed and that is already EXTREMLY dangerous. Like if the actor of Raoul forgets to push her she will be seriously injured or dead.
The set piece would also not survive that. Since it would actually be hitting the ground as they said they only had one take because the chandelier is ruined after that.
You want people to die? There is people who sit in the spot where it crashes in the movie in New York on broadway...
it crashes at the very end of act one when the phantom sees that Christine has fell in love with Raul. there are TONS of videos of it here on youtube. But it's the best when you see it live in the theatre.
@The1andOnlyCG But then it wouldn't have been as realistic and it probably wouldn't have achieved the desired effect the creators of the movie were going for.
Don't like the movie (stage version will always be a million times better to me) but they did a great job for the chandelier crash
Totally over the left!!!
hahahahha its get fire
*sigh* 480p is not HD or HQ
Airickk2021 then it was
True but keep in mind UA-cam was only around for 4 years at this point in 2009 when this video was uploaded (having been created in 2005) so at this point in time this was HD/HQ
@PhantomPhan05 i wanted to see it but it's closed in london now
People do that it's so stupid when people do that
They would just do it cgi now.
Why didn't anybody call the fire department or anything I didn't see nothing in there
ohio fried chicken link in bio the fire depart was there. Look again
need to justify founds XD
thanks. i am going to see it anyway. in september
I shouldn’t hate the movie because the movie is what me introduced to the Phantom in the first place and I fell in love with it. But after seeing the stage play and the recording of the 25th anniversary the movie doesn’t even come close to the brilliance of the stage play at all
R u kidding?! 25th is fully bull shit!
Puuu ,hmmm
What a disaster
erster
They probably saw all of the other films that animated it, therefore saw it wouldn't work that way... ^-^'
What a waste of a movie. Same with Les Miserable. Such a wasted opportunity.
Why didnt you like the movie?
@@lexicincent329, kuz he's idiot!
What r u talking about?!
ur a waste
People with strange accents shouldn't narrarate.
Why?
What a waste.
ur life is
All you nay sayers about it crashing in act 1, first off, that's ALW's ORIGINAL placement, get over it. And if you were actually a fan of the story, you'd realize, Masquarade STARTS the book, and the chandelier isn't fallen in either of these two events. Get over it! The movie sucked btw!
Badass horse
Movie is super, idiot!!!
@@Nina-lp7kt highly intelligent reply
@@TourDriverSean,so then watch something like ,,desperate homewifes", but not the classic.
