The movie is a comedy, a detective story, and possibly a romance too.
Two men want to enter a train in the women's section to escape from the mob.
They witnessed the slaughter of seven people in a garage.

They try to look like women but they can't. They can't walk with high heels for example.

They compare women to pastry: goodies, butter, rolls, ... but they are "on a diet". It's funny.

Vocab:
Musical instruments = the sax(ophone) / the bass / the clarinet / the yukulele / the piano...
Women's attributes = wig / gloves / lipstick, eye shadow, foundation / jewels / head band / ...
Quotation: women walk like "jell-o on springs".

Homework:

- bien apprendre le début d'analyse sur ce film.

Hi guys,

today we continued the analysis of the song and the musical. Here is what you finally said:

The music of the Night - Analysis:

The song is about Eric's fantasy / dream.
It's not a real wedding.

Cristine doesn't want to marry Eric but she hypnotized / possessed.
Eric can't without Cristine and she's gonna help him make "the music of the night". It's dark.

Then you made a list of words that you could use in a song to speak about the theme. Here are the words you classified:

Darkness:
night
dark    darker
           darkest
black  sewers
           spirit
soul    troubling
dead   fairy
faint    hidden

Romance:
bride     marriage
love       wedding
bed        candles
              bridegroom

Dream:
mind                     mysterious
              fantasy                      imagination
magic    power
spell      angel    
                             surreal
              possess
Music:

Sensation:
cold       splendor
sweet    amazed

At the end you also enjoyed pulling Christmas crackers with Amy! It was fun, wasn't it?

Homework:

- préparer sa tâche finale (appel d'urgence d'un animal en détresse)
- connaître les grandes lignes du "Phantom of the Opera" et l'analyse de la chanson "Music of the Night" (relire les paroles avec l'extrait vidéo et préparer un recap du commentaire oral).

Last time with Amy, we spoke about the video from the movie "Phantom of the Opera" (Music of the Night).

We analysed the video clip and studied the lyrics. Here are some ideas you spoke about:

Atmosphere:
dark (sewers) / troubling / mysterious / romantic (candles)

The scary honeymoon:
bed / she falls faint / dead bride (doll with a wedding dress) / bridegroom dressed in black / hidden places (behind curtains) she is amazed / he asks her to marry him and to love him

Magical song:
She is spell bound / under his spell / amazed.
He cast a spell on her

-> There is an ambivalence in the lyrics between the "physical wedding" and "the mental wedding".
