  • Ughh after knowing about the events in Love Never Dies, the ending just doesn't have as much of an impact for me :'(

  • oh god, this gets me every time! when he sings masquerade with the monkey and he breaks the mirrors and leaves! i just start bawling. the way he looks when christine comes back just breaks my heart! i love this so much!

  • :'(

  • I want the monkey !!

  • the monkey ...... :''( 

  • This is my favorite scene in the entire movie

  • The best bit is when Roaul's face turns beetroot from the noose around his neck!

  • @LilMizSpiky But not as good as when Christine snogs the Phantom!

  • this is so gay

  • @qpzmrm95 obvious troll is obvious

  • Blasphemy! You cant do this scene and not have the phantom disappear from the chair!

  • 5:05 That tunnel is an emergency exit out of the Opera Populaire, RIGHT?????????

  • after listening to the sequel (love never dies) i'm bawling through this whole movie on another level

  • i believe if everyone watches this DELETED scene from the movie, which i find quite important, they will understand the Phantom more as they should.! and see HE REALLY LOVES CHRISTINE! search "No One Would Listen" Phantom Of The Opera

  • i love how this kissing scene is SO much more emotional and passionate and real looking than Raouls and Christine . :D

  • pause at 0:43

    I'd be like "This is awkward..."

  • @CombustibleLemon72 that awkward moment where the woman you love gets herself soaking wet, not to save you, but to kiss the man trying to murder you ;-)

  • @ScherazadezGypsy I know, right?! I hate it when that happens!

  • @CombustibleLemon72 LOL Raoul is all uh yea still here

  • ...Gets me... every time..... right in the pit of my stomach :(

  • Erik, the ghost, only knew 2 women: madam giry and christine, and he was alone for a few decades, he is lonely!!! sad :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • isnt there a sequal? whats it called?

  • @aidarulesthud yep, its called "Love Never Dies".  It just came out in London.

  • The whole time they were kissing Raoul was probably all like "AW HELL NO"

  • Poor Erik. I would have stayed. Screw the fop.

  • i just feel sooo bad for the phantom. he needs love too. i dont understand Christine, i mean you chose Raoul over the Phantom. Christine's mental...

    i always cry when i watch this move. my all time favorite musical.

  • Does anybody else notice Emmy mouth "I love you" to Raoul before she kisses the Phantom?

  • THEY KISS FOR LIKE ONLY 4 SENONDS THEN SHALLOW EACH OTHER! MY MUSIC TEACHER SAID HE WANTS THAT BUT ONLY FOR 34 HOURS!

  • am i the only one bawling my eyes out?...

  • you guys should see the final lair scene in the 25th ann production w/sierra, hadley and ramin it is soooooo heartfelt so much emotion! i like this film too though

  • @therandomwriter Agreed, the scene with Ramin/Sierra/Hadley actually reduced me to tears, Ramin is such an impressive Phantom and I love him to bits!! I used to like this film too as a 12 year old, but I only really go back now for the kiss scene :3

  • 2:15-3:03 makes me cry every time

  • the most important thing to realize is where did the phantom go?

  • @Cornyballa5221 i think he went into a secret passageway out of his lair and/or maybe out of the opera house when he shattered the mirrior that was behind the curtian.

  • I love the demon shade!

  • I am actually very deeply touched by this story. Especially as it was portrayed in this movie. One can actually really feel how hurt the Phantom was. His past was tough, and it lead him to take it out on a lot of people, but in the end, he showed that he truly loved her because he made the very difficult choice to let her go since he felt like she would be happier. This even goes to show as his rose is on her tomb at the end. I'm a guy by the way. Just so you know, guys have feelings too.

  • I like how he and Meg have almost identical outfits on...

  • @VeggieVamp762 They were both still in costume from the Phantom's opera

  • 0:10 to 0:35 is the best verse in the universe for my ears. So beautiful and touching.

  • wow that must be aquard whene your 16 and you have to kiss a guy twice as old as you and being filmed by probly 40 pouple

  • @leopardgecko4life1

    I doubt the actress was actually 16. I don't think that's how TV works.

  • @TayoEXE Huh. Actually, Emmy Rossum WAS in fact 16. It is how TV works, thank you. The man playing Raoul was 30. Gerard (Phantom) was 34. They kissed. They were both much older than her, yadda yadda.

  • @blueshadoe

    Well, I didn't know. I can't tell, once they get into high school, it's difficult to judge someone's age on their appearance. (I'm 17, but she looks much older than me.) But it is how TV works, they usually have actors in their 20's portraying teenagers and such. They just happen to have an actress who is actually the age of her character in this film, but that's not the case for Raoul.

  • I love how she won't get in the water to save Raoul but she goes straight in to kiss the phantom :)

  • @xXagRAWRfactorXx POINT EXACTLY!lol

  • @xXagRAWRfactorXx so she loves the phantom (name: Erik) more than raoul, her childhood friend??? does she?

  • @xXagRAWRfactorXx she loves him more than raoul!!! i smile and go awww every time she kisses him!!!

  • @xXagRAWRfactorXx

    Woop! Go team Phantom! Hahahahah... But seriously the Phantom is hot, with or without the mask! Phantom phan 4evr!

  • @Marylmac That is a very perceptive comment! Great insight!

  • 2:16 ... i can sound like him... lolz and ima girl!!!!... but he is not the weird one here.. im the one who sounds like a boy... XD

  • When he sings "IT'S OVER NOW, THE MUSIC OF THE NIIGHT!"

    Makes me cry every time.

  • Best part! 2:15

  • Holy shit I was crying so much! Its impossible to cry at the end.

  • i saw the movie for like more than 50 times for sure....when i was young i used to see it everyday for a month!

  • through the entire movie i thought that blond was just a pretty face and fragile girl, but she looked bad ass the way she charged in his lair ahead of everyone else and tried to hunt him down

  • What a beautiful scene. This made me cry when I first saw this movie.

  • i read some comments here. ppl are funny :) "eric can have me, i love you eric" gees ppl r u for real?:) phantom character would not have anyone else but christine, he was obsessed with her, if he JUST wanted to be loved he could find some nice girl who would get him and would not care about the looks. but no, he was vain and his physical deformity made him twice so. he chose christine for her looks and extraordinary voice to compensate for his own ugliness.

  • @nadinaAW Um, no.

    I'm sorry, but that was all wrong.

    He chose Christine because he was in LOVE with her. There's no other or better way to explain the things he did. But SHE was the vain one, for she chose Raul because she was afraid of being with the Phantom. She was afraid to take that risk.

    So yeah, fuck her man. :)

  • @nadinaAW if that was so true like you say, don't you think he would of have killed Raoul and kept Christine? He has emotions just like anyone else, not his fault about his past. For having a past like that, he's lucky to feel anything good at all, and because OF HER KINDNESS she was the ONLY one that would actually see him as a person. So YES HE DID FALL IN LOVE WITH HER and i believe she with him.

  • Dear Lord.. I cry every time she kisses him.

  • @McKenaMars me 2... :-'')

  • great music lame story. why there is always an ugly man who falls for a shallow young beauty with flat personality? ugh, love story my b*tt, wish Webber used his genius on some better tale.

  • While I have a few problems with this version, there's no denying Gerard's acting talent here. He first terrifies you with his vow to ruin Christine's happiness if she denies him his own, then brings you to tears as Christine's kindness brings him to his knees. He's nowhere near as good as Lon Chaney or Robert Englund, but his performance was pretty good nonetheless. :)

  • How could Christie do that to phantom :(

  • Love how Raoul just awkwardly watches them kiss.

  • My old friend showed me this movie, and I've loved it ever since.

  • this movie makes me cry... of course. i fell in love with both of them. but i would choose phantom anytime..

  • when he says "its over now the music of the night" it just the best bit in the whole film. Butler plays such an emotional role in this. It's just so good!

  • when he says "Christine i love you" and "It's over now the music of the night" i just start crying. He just loved her so much.

  • when ever i watch this scene my heart hurts (cheesy) but its true bc i fell in luv with the phantom and when he hurts i hurt ='(

  • Poor phantom. I feel so sad that he's the one who ends up alone.

  • the movie is amazing but if you watch the theatre performance (old school or modern with awesome performers) its 10000000000000000x better its so much more real...

  • its really all the phantoms falt he should have made a move before the other guy came by the time the other guy came she would be married to the phantom and wouldnt care.

  • @misscool123456  I agree

  • @misscool123456 It's not like he had a countdown clock to Raoul showing up! She was 16! It was pretty damn early to be making a move as it was.

  • @Niobesnuppa Why do you say that, asshole?

  • xd how she goes god give me courage , cause i have to kiss him now

  • I am crying my eyes out just watching this very part... He loves her to much to force her to stay... It makes me cry every time... All the Phantom wanted was to be loved by someone, since all his life no one loved him and they all shunned him. And the first and only woman he loves chooses a man with a prettier face. I think a person is beautiful the way they are on the inside. He loves her and would do anything to win her love, but Raoul loves her for her voice and outside. That's not love. </3

  • anyone else notice his lip quivers at 3:56 i feel so bad for the Phantom

  • ooohhhh i didnt see this before...when she goes to kiss him, she puts the ring on....so she chose the phantom but he let her go.....wooh...i feel a bit stupid for not noticing that....well judging by how many times ive seenthis movie (17x)

  • I'm 14 and I'm bawling right now. It's just so sad! I also find it funny how everyone in the movie (besides Christine) sees him as a monster yet almost all the comments I've read say the phantom is hot and awesome (which is true) Lol(;

  • Phantom looks like Darth Vader met Two-Face and he opened the Ark of the Covenant

  • @kittygus Yeah, they did his face wrong. =/

  • I had to come back and watch this scene because I read somewhere that Christine mouths "I love you" to Raoul before making her decision. It's true! She does, very subtly and sadly, at the very beginning of this clip. Then she gives a brave little smile. Poor Christine. Imagine being handed a choice like this at such a young age.

  • just noticed she puts the ring on just before kissing him

  • Dear Christine, You are Beautiful.

    Dear Phantom, You are Gorgeous.

    Dear Raoul, You are Ugly.

  • @LivvyLou150 Dear LivvyLou150, You're an Idiot.

  • @Niobesnuppa I agree!

  • you alone can make my song take flight

    its over now the music of the night!!!!

  • I like Phantom way more than Raoul, but honestly, what did you expect Christine to do? Just ditch Raoul and be like "I don't love you, I'm in love with the guy that tried to kill you!" after he risked his life to save her? I think Christine was still in love with the phantom at the end, but honestly, there was no way for her to be with him.

  • @garland531

    You see, even the Phantom saw this. He loved her, and that's why he chose to let her go, for her own happiness and welfare.

  • Few people know that the real reason she didn't want to marry him is he always left the toilet seat up.

  • "christine i love you "

  • so heartbreaking..i watched this film many times way back in '04 but it still have the same impact on me..gerard butler ur one hell of a man!

  • I think a part of her really does love him.

  • @m8566 She did love him. But it ended up as more pity for the life he had obviously been forced into by his face. And honestly that would have always been there no matter what and their life together would have been difficult with just that. His soul was too blackened by his past.

  • This fricken movie blows my mind!

  • poor phantom

  • Such a touching moment. :) A beautiful kiss. Erik's first and last kiss <3 I love this scene so much. :)

  • Anywhere you go let us go too, Erik, thats all we ask of you.. <3

    -Love all of your passionat loved filled fans.. You're never alone as long as you have us and we will never leave you! You gave your heart out and we recieved and accepted it! <3

  • let stupid christine go, eric. you have us ;)

  • he should have at least tried to get to second base

  • @LugerCreations its not shown, but they do it.

  • in the end i was eating a strawberry and then found out i was making out with it

  • this part made me cry.......poor phantom

  • This movie always makes me cry!!!

  • Angel of music <33

  • i don't care however men don't cry..

    it's so beuitiful:)

  • I LOVE how she views him as so human when anyone else would and has cast him to the side as lesser and as garbage

  • How could she choose Raoul over the Phantom?

  • @theJuny11ontheroad Because the phantom is aggressive and dangerous and he kills people without thinking. He loves her, but in an almost angry way.

  • @theJuny11ontheroad no clue but if you like christine+erik see Love Never Dies

  • u wanna know whats funny? the phantom is kissing christine in fromt of Raoul

  • It's very polite of the mob to wait until they're done singing.

  • I love this part, bevause they ALL go free!

  • my heart hurt when she give the right to Phantom, Phantom you are such a nice guy

  • it is so heartbreaking when he sings masquerade to the music box </3

  • Does anyone else think that she looks a little bit like Eowyn in 5:23?

  • At 0:03 she mouths "I love you" to Raoul.

  • Literally thought she was about to rip her dress off at 0:32. PLOT TWIST.

  • The Phantom's like, "Damn it, why can't I be as sexy Cry Baby Raoul

  • "...unhappy Erik! Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him? He asked only to be "some one," like everybody else. But he was too ugly! And he had to hide his genius OR USE IT TO PLAY TRICKS WITH. When, with an ordinary face, he would have been one of the most distinguished of mankind! he had a heart that could have held the empire of the world; and, in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar. Ah, yes, we must need pity the Opera ghost."

    -Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of The Opera

  • I love that scene where the phantom sings to that music box and sings christine I love you. Its my top favorite scene with the overture coming in second.

  • Everybody feels bad for phantom because of his face but only a few peopl can see the real him and i'm one of those people.

  • Team Phantom all the way!!!

  • WATCH 1:30 ITS HIS MOOD SWINGS RUN CHRISTINE RUN!!!!!!

  • Masquerade.. Paper faces on parade.. Masquerade.. Hide the face so the world will never find you.. </3

  • P.S it really breaks my heart when the phantom Starts sing 'It's over now the music of the night!' and then he breaks the mirrors...</3

  • I really wish i could sing just as beautiful ans as pwerful as Christine! Emmy Rossum you were the girl who learned me how important music is..You learned me to speak English because that's the most beuatiful language on earth and it's so useful! ;) I just need to thank everyone who helped Andrew lloyd webber making this movie...it's so wonderful! <3

  • Raoul looks much cuter when his hair is all wet HAHA! But I'm still Team Phantom! <3

  • *sobbing*

  • When I kiss someone beautiful music better just spring out of nowhere or I will be severely disappointed.

  • Did anyone notice she mouths "I love you" and smiles at the veerryyy beginning? Tears...rising...:')

  • @UnidentifiedSpoon so if she looks at Raol and mouths "I love you" does that mean she then goes and kisses Phantom and means to stay with him, just to save Raol? Then Phantom - after all his plotting and lusting and wanting - lets her GO after the greatest kiss of his life when he has his dream woman, but he finally realises she'd have no sort of life with him.....like he'd not thought about that beforehand? Oh dear....Phantom Fail! Still LOVE this scene and movie though!

  • @Fuzzbuttuk Well, what I liked best about this scene is that even after the 1st kiss, she goes back for more :-) (I'm still team Phantom)

  • @UnidentifiedSpoon apprently there was a misconception where people thought she mouthed lemon juice

  • SUNBURN OF DOOM.

  • SHE GOES BACK AND GIVES HIM FALSE HOPE JUST TO GIVE HIM THE F*CKING RING BACK!!!!!!!!! UGH STUPID BITCH! ...oh well the Phantom can have me.

  • @TakeToTheHighways THANK YOU! I was scrolling through the comments and I was like, "I *know* somebody else must have noticed this!"

    I want to believe that he knew she wasn't coming back, but honestly, who wouldn't think that? So his heart gets an extra stomping lol Maybe this allowed them to part on a more private and tender moment (after all the death threats & Raoul), the way their relationship started - only this time, without the deception.

  • Christine is bitter and cruel! all she does is leave, come back, return the ring, and leave. SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK BACK!!! stupid Raul, i want to kill him! she didn't utter a single word when he was singing masquerade in front of her! UGH!!!

  • @eviljuubi actually at 4:23 she DOES look back =/

  • 0.38.

    HELL YES! 

  • I would go with the Phantom!! Yeah Roal is handsome, but i am just in love with the phantom!!! Gerard Butler was perfect for this role! I wanted to cry at the end of the movie, he was in love with her, and he loves him bak but cant marry him! I WOULD MARRY HIM!! anyone else agree?

  • when the Phantom is singing masquerqde with the monkey, i swear that part could kill me! its so sweet, and sad and passionate, i can't even handle it.

  • at 0:01 she says I love you and smiles to roaul bitch

  • @toxictwin7777 wow I never noticed that before!

  • @RoyaleZero101 His black hair was a wig and it came off when Christine took off his mask.

  • Poor Erik. All he ever wanted was the be loved. (me hugging Erik, the phantom)

  • you know what? In the previous time when Erik had his mask on, his hair was black, now it's blond. How did that happen?!

  • @RoyaleZero101 It's short, too. I think he has a wig? Hm..

  • Oh my god I never saw that she actually put the ring on until just now!!!...wow im slow

  • I swear Meg looks like a girl Indie Jones I mean like seriously!

  • i love micheal crawford but i really like the way Gerard did this particular scene u feel so bad for him you really want him to end up with her and u really just want to knee Raoul in the balls lol

  • At 2:30, slender man is standing behind The Phantom... His insanity is taking on an entirely new meaning...

  • WHY DOES HE LET HER GO?????!!!!!!

  • @MendTheBroken2011 Because he loves her to much to make her stay and be unhappy

  • Notice she puts on the ring @ 0:33

  • i've seen this play twice on stage and now i've seen the film - it just keeps getting more magical and moving every time incredible story.

  • 34 people were in such thralls of ecstasy that they accidentally clicked the dislike button 

  • 34 people dont understand entertainment

  • what does he mean by "music of the night"? i forgot :P

  • It's okay Phantom, I'll marry you <3

  • @guacamole963 He is mine! <3

  • @guacamole963

    In a heartbeat I would lol. Was anyone else hugs Gerard Butler fans before he started becoming really famous?

  • OMG She totally wanted the Phantom! How did I never realize that? I always thought she meant to trick him into letting her go by kissing him. Obviously I should have known she's not that smart. She put on the wedding ring! I didn't see that before! And then kissed him twice, and there was love in her eyes when she looked at him. Then when she was singing with Raoul at the end she was looking at the Phantom.

  • @krazyknoxy It's a nice thought. I think Christine's intentions, however, were to demonstrate compassion: "Lord give me courage to show you you are not alone". I think she recognised that his anger and hate could only be driven away by an act of selfless love. It all worked out rather well because by giving herself up to him for one moment she exercised humanity's good etc and he was ashamed of what he'd done, realising that he couldn't hold her when she didn't wish to stay.

  • Why does everyone want the phantom and cristine? The phantom is crazy, he is a prissoner of his own body. He never lived a life and he never could.

  • And then when he tells Christine he loves her, and she approaches him, and his face lights up in hope for one moment, and then she just breaks his heart by giving him back the ring.

  • @PaolaPenguin95... I rather thought it was her way of keeping a bond with him, one she didn't understand, as she was just 17 yrs old and like him, she had been brought up in this Opera House from 7yrs of age and music was her only life.

  • My heart just breaks every time I see the Phantom singing Masquerade...

  • This part made me cry...I love opera, its so beautiful

  • If you look really closely, at 0:00, you can see her mouth " I Love You" to Raoul. and then she smiles.

  • @BarbieGirl447 Lol yeah its a sign from her saying I love you and don't worry

    I have a trick up my sleeve, which was the kiss she wanted him not to worry.

    Lol hard as hell to detect though right?

  • @Beowulf54rs Wow how did you find that out?

  • @BarbieGirl447 Lol thats my educated guess
