...when I realized that Gerard Butler played the phantom of the opera in the most recent 2004 movie. I liked this movie before I realized that, but now I'm absolutely in love. I love Gerard!

LOL That he did! I don't really feel either way about him but I like the 2004 (it was that long ago??) version of Phantom better than any of the stage versions I've seen. (Shh, don't tell any purists.) Maybe it's just because it's the first version I saw, but I really liked his voice.

I really liked Gerard Butler in Gamer and Law Abiding Citizen. He also did the voice of Stoic in How to Train Your Dragon. He was in 300 too, but it's been a long time since I've seen that movie.
The movie version is pretty amazing. I wish they wouldn't have changed the face burning from the play version though. They really didn't explain how his face got that way in the movie, except that he was in a circus.

Wasn't the Phantom's face a birth defect? According to the book the play is based upon?

I don't know, but it's possible. I do like the way the play showed it, but I suppose if that was the case, then the movie was more accurate.

If I remember the book correctly, the face problem was indeed a natural birth defect.
This is like when they changed Snake-Eyes in the G.I. Joe movie from "brutally scarred" to "took a vow of silence"....except I'm not sure which backstory came first.
Okay it's not really the same at all but still, let's compare eighties action figures to classic French literature. It's fun.
