The Phantom is the monster in the eyes of the society around him. From a reality rather than "Film isn't real" point of view they were all in the wrong. It wasn't right for the Phantom to kidnap that girl and it wasn't right for the people to kill the Phantom.<br /><br />Frankenstein kinda does that too. Those the monster was created from other dead bodies unlike the Phantom.<br /><br />Reading is going okay. I'm a little behind on it but I plan to catch up this weekend. I have a test today, one tomorrow, and one on monday that I have been freaking out about... It's been really interesting so far..Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15050543145585508461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385193563031806738.post-42603921834348058872011-02-03T07:52:44.414-08:002011-02-03T07:52:44.414-08:00So, if we feel so sorry for the Phantom, where is ...So, if we feel so sorry for the Phantom, where is the "horror" in this horror film? Is the Phantom not really a monster then? And if he isn't the monster, then who is the villain here? Can you think of other horror films that do the same? <br />Btw, how is your reading in the textbook going?Dr. Barbara Brickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15801041415019027501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385193563031806738.post-88417248119628062762011-01-30T09:19:50.495-08:002011-01-30T09:19:50.495-08:00This reminds me of a wonderful movie that conveys ...This reminds me of a wonderful movie that conveys the same idea, called The Little Mermaid. The freakish half-fish half-woman has a wonderful voice(singing beautiful music) and must resort to a deal with Satan in order to become a full human. Once this happens she is able to find true love in the real human world. I forget how it ends but I think she turns back into the disgusting fish monster and midnight or something.PlayingWithTapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360510551964515135noreply@blogger.com
