Phantom of the Paradise: Difference between revisions

*** {{spoiler|Paul Williams, not his character Swan, sings "The Hell of It", and it's not directed at Winslow(who obviously didn't "die in vain" or "love himself as he loved no other"). If it ''is'' supposed to be Paul Williams singing the song as one of his characters, this troper thinks it's ''Satan'' singing it ''about Swan''. So we're back to [[Bittersweet Ending]]}}

* [[Dramatic Unmask]] - Averted. {{spoiler|Winslow removes his mask as he approaches Phoenix, but she's the only one who cares. The crowd just thinks it's part of the show.}}

* [[Glamour Failure]] - Swan refuses to be photographed or recorded by anyone but his lackeys because {{spoiler|though he has eternal youth from his [[Deal With the Devil]], he shows up the way he truly looks and sounds on film}}.

* [[Glam Rock]] - Beef. Blech.

* {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]] - Poor Winslow.}}

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Winslow is initially sent to (the real-life prison of) '''Sing-Sing'''. Doubles as [[Fridge Brilliance]] for this troper.

* [[Large Ham]] - Everyone. The whole film.
