Making the Chandelier Crash - (Film) [HD]

[@hyunjinskookiejar2041]

So the finished cut where the chandelier crashes was SHOT ONLY ONE TIME!?!?!? I am shook. The crash is so epic in the movie.

[@Marrythenightgaga101]

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

[@Winstonofcourse]

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

The Phantom of the opera is my all time favorite movie. I'm a fan of both the broadway version and the movie version.

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

[@clairebear1101]

[@moon-cf2vw]

Claire Smith same

[@Niqhtmusic]

Claire Smith sake

[@Boskov01]

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.

[@andrewkohler3707]

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. :(

[@IronycheinPain]

I did not expect the chandelier-crashing scene to be screened ONCE

[@huffytun5143]

Lol

[@JaredGoerke]

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.

[@MicaRayan]

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.

[@Vousie]

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.

[@andrewkohler3707]

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!?

[@Mrcruft]

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.

[@brezzainvernale]

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!

[@mieshocked1450]

It was all worthy, the scene is completely fantastic! My favorite scene of "Crash Chandelier" in the Phantom Adaptation Story!

[@MissTia777]

The chandelier is TOO gorgeous to crash!

[@tomgallowitz]

What gets me is the entire auditorium, lobby, and offices go up in flame, yet the backstage area is still completely intact.

[@Dan-ky5es]

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.

[@Just_Another_Piece_Of_Toast]

@@Dan-ky5es and honestly that could be said of nearly every theatre auditorium.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

@@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.

[@drummerboi357]

that's movie magic for you

[@DocEsquire]

That was freaking awesome

[@MusicalWorld5]

@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! :)

[@anselmochavez2894]

if only they actually dropped a real chandelier every time I went to go see this show...

[@lauravokey3193]

That’s so awesome

[@ChildofDarkness469]

@ILarious49145 It's the conductor when he jumps over the little wall separating the orchestra and audience.

[@jordans.2447]

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).

[@lilymartin6059]

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!!!

[@chasebuccaran8447]

Phantom Critic The Broadway play was fantastic

[@GAMEMASTERTHX]

Pure movie shooting. At first I mistaken it was CGI.

[@muniikuma]

@PhantomPhan05 Also, the chandelier crashes in act one originally because of the book, where he crashes it halfway through.

[@marystamatopoulou8309]

just amazing

[@CRAAAAAAAZYLILLAMABEAN]

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.

[@gabby33384]

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

[@AlexBrown-do7rx]

dvd of movie it so good

[@broadwaymike92]

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!

[@silenthillmaster755]

LOL that was so sweet! I love watching the people run around in the not movie version they showed shortly

[@EvanescentWoodNymph]

@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.

[@PILOSOPAUL]

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

[@potblack6043]

In the story, the phantom rigged it that way. Everyone thought it was just a prop, when it was actually a trigger.

[@MusicalWorld5]

@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 KZbin (All I ask of you reprise) and there'll be loads! ;)

[@Bat-talk]

I’m actually surprised nobody got hurt

[@RainbowPook01]

@The1andOnlyCG they wanted it to be real not fake....

[@spaceye]

They should crash it just like this in the live production.

[@cje24576]

I disagree. I'm sorry, but no.

[@justmewood8818]

That would be cool but way to dangerous

[@Stopit999]

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.

[@maryannkoretoff1023]

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.

[@IrisKingfire]

You want people to die? There is people who sit in the spot where it crashes in the movie in New York on broadway...

[@zac613]

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.

[@DisneyDancer1990]

@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.

[@ajzabala9143]

hahahahha its get fire

[@EvanescentWoodNymph]

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*

[@tearoses9940]

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.
