...Alexander could be Stone--a crafty-crazy visionary who legendarily drives himself, his crew and his films through chaos and into creativity. In this shadow autobiography, Alexander's India is Stone's Vietnam, the land where he fought in the infantry and the subject of so many of his films. In the battle scenes in India, trained elephants materialize as if in a Nam soldier's dope dream, and the screen goes red. At this moment of hallucinogenic hyperdrama, the camera almost literally has blood...
...ally Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "She's getting this job because she's not a threat," says retired Lieut. General William Odom of the conservative Hudson Institute.

...chandelier, which the Phantom famously drops on the opera-house audience. Weighing in at 2.2 tons, with three tiers of 20,000 crystals, it's valued at $1.25 million. Schumacher says he enjoys the epic scale. "It's got to be big." he says. "The story is all about shadow and light; it's a dark, obsessional love story in the Paris of 1870. It has to be opulent and voluptuous and beautiful. That's what's cinematic about the musical."
