i can understand why they cut it from the movie, because they were pressed for time- but come on: they could have at least put it on the soundtrack!!!
@rainbowzebera Erik, actually. :) They didn't say his name in the movie (they only reffered to him as "Phantom" / "Opera Ghost" etc.) In the book by Gaston Leroux, his name is revealed as Erik.
I would so choose Erik over Raul any day.I personally think Erik is very Handsome both inside and out, yes he did bad things, but he deserved a second chance.
Everytime I watch this or the film, it feels like my heart is being ripped out. The only thing Erik has been given in his life is fear, hatred, and abuse. His own mother never even loved him. So when Christine comes along, he doesn't want to give her up. She's the only one who hasn't treated him like some hell-spawn demon born without a heart. She see's the man inside. I just want to jump into the film and give Erik the love he never had. I will always love the phantom and his music.
My heart hurts for him, I love Erik (Aka Phantom) so much. Screw Rauol. I do have a question though. When they deleted this scene, where did it take place. It didn't look like the same cave as before and the scale model of "Point of No Return" was there so it must have been placed at they very end of the movie after he escaped from the opera and cleaned himself up. I don't know where he could have gone, bit he must gave stayed somewhere close. Anyway, I love you Angel of Music!!!!!!
@KAM112295 i think it would have been placed after the scene were raoul sings "we have all been blind" and before erik goes up to the attic to pull those levers to set the chandelier, maybe...judging by how he's dressed and the way the set is designed
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Poor Erik, he's just a misunderstood guy whose was shamed, beaten, and made fun of his whole childhood. He might be a bit insane but come on, cut the guy some slack. He just wanted to be loved by someone, and that happened to be Christine. He started to murder people for her love and because Rauol stole her from him. I don't care if they were childhood sweethearts. Key word there WERE! Erik (Aka Phantom) I'll listen till the day I die and I would l
they shouldnt have cut this. it gives the Phantom just enough humanity. people need to understand that he wasnt all bad. yes he was a murderer, and he could very well have been insane. but he did love christine. he wasnt just some creepy guy living in the catacombs of an opera house. he was a broken man rejected by an ignorant world for something that was totally out of his control. he was looking for someone to love and understand him,and that someone, in his mind, was christine. end of story.
I can not belive they cut this out! Holly crap im sitting hear crying! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE HIM!!!!!!!! HE IS HER ANGLE OF MUSIC! He loves her but she dose not love him. I am so sad now......
It sounds like this song was written for Gerard because although I'm not the biggest fan of Gerard, this is absoulutely beautiful. What I'd give to hear Ramin Karimloo sing this, though...
I wish men would have a deep love for that one special woman.... but instead..they want more than just one... :( And Chriatine doesn't go with poor Erik at the end, even though he was the oe that loved her most :,(
@TheInuyanma The reason people speak of the Phantom as a psychopath is because in the book and earlier versions of the musical he is a psychopath. In the book he's a total creep and it isn't because of her denying his love. It's because his bitterness toward society has turned him completely insane. Yes, in this version he's really not that way, but that's because this version is a very romanticized version of the original. But, hey, I like it a lot better than the original because of that.
@KlayWorldRoks If it were me, I would add it in as the last but one. At the end of the soundtrack, but before 'Learn to Be Lonely' which is the last song.
I really think they should've put this in because when you think of Erik you think nothing but his sad, depressing, life and thoughts, but this shows that he does have a little more thoughts rather than just Christine and his own self-hatred.
It's a shame this never made it into the movie or the musical. it speaks the truth about what he feels. But, with the way Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the finale, there was no room for it.
This song pretty much sums up the end of the book, when Erik explains why he let Christine, Raoul and the Persian leave. Then he dies in the end of the book from a broken heart.
I agree that the phantom was the better choice, completely and utterly. But I think she made the wisest decision leaving with Raoul. What did the phantom have to offer her? He was a wanted, half-crazed angelic genius who lived beneath an opera house. Where was Christine's life in all of that? He is a creature of the night and she is a creature of the sun. The only real things he had to offer her was his love and his voice and his eternal understanding. But Raoul was in love with her too.
i just thought of this, but isnt it kind of the phantoms fault that she marries raoul? like, if he didnt drop the background on carlotta and make christine the lead, raoul would never have seen her.....
love never dies was really far fetched and filled with plot holes. i was really disappointed. i love phantom of the opera it's a wonderful film and novel, but love never dies just didn't make any sense :(
I can't believe it isn't in the movie, I love this song, and I love phantom no matter if this song wasn't in or not, because he tells her to go to take Raoul because he loves her and he only proves that he does by letting her go and follow her heart. But of course a part of me wished she chose him.. You're not alone Phantom <3
@BarbieGirl447 Because the ending would seem even more illogical than it does now. They tried to dehumanize Erik at the very end, which made no sense... it'd make less sense if we actually observed his human side completely revealed.
@austinSN Masquerade, you can see his red costume on the chair. They shouldn't have deleted this, it's pretty awesome showing that the phantom is worth pitying.
i feel so sorry for Eric.... spends most of his life at the opera house teaching his one love to sing and thanks to him teaching Christine.... he looses her to Raoul. none of my friends and family understands why i feel sorry for The Phantom but he has lost his one love and finally gets her back in Love Never Dies only for her to be killed by Meg.... such a sad story. </3 if i was Christine... i'd have married Eric straight away :)
It might not actually be that. This was never part of the musical, so why would they put it in the movie? Apart from cinematic intrigue, there's not much to it.
And yes, I do love the Phantom of the Opera. Take that into note before tangents.
@Hugemickeyfan yes dont u wish they added this to the movie, because they only added the instrument at the end when raoul putting the monkey on her grave
Erik was there with her, through her father's grief. He taught her, he knew her. Raul, for years they were apart. True, they were children, but that's also a part of my reasoning, their memories were made more golden by childhood. When he became the patron for the opera house, he didn't even recognize her. It wasn't until she was singing and he was like, "Hey hold up now, she got hot and grew some nice breasts! I MUST HAVE HER!" And of course, she fell for his flattery. Instead of Erik's love.):
@ElvenShalafi Yeah, but The Phantom was a PSYCHO STALKER UNHEALTHILY OBSESSED THAT WOULD HAVE KEPTHER PRISONER FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! People always seem to forget that.
@ElvenShalafi Why do I have the feeling you, Phans, never even attempted to read the original novel? - you would then clearly see, this 'marriage' wouldn't be as beautiful as it seems in the musical.
@Wykletypl But ALW took that story and made his own version, keep that in mind. Yes, compare it to the novel of course, but the story here is a bit different and so are the characters. Yes, he's dangerous and perhaps mentally unstable - it's understandable given what he's been through, but there's good in him and Christine sees that. Who knows what would have happened in time, or if things had happened differently and Christine chose a life with the Phantom. This has it's own not-novel story.
@ElvenShalafi And its sad to see that most of the fandom are for Erik/Christine, I know its sad to see Erik alone but he would have not done well with her, especially when she loved another. Many sympathize with the Christine ALW has portrayed because she seems a tad crueler in Leroux's novel, If all the fangirls actually read the book, some would look at her differently ;_;
@silvermaid462 I agree. As for Christine, is she really a bit crueler? I should probably re-read the novel sometime soon, it's been a few years and I don't remember it that well.
@ElvenShalafi Raoul loved her as well, it wasn't just flattery. As for Erik, do keep in min that he killed people as well. And if he had truly loved her, he would have let her be happy with Raoul instead of persisting and abducting her during the Point of no Return. Would you fall for a killer who stalked and abducted you? Do keep that in mind.
@yessirrxo That would only happen if Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted to write another Phantom Of The Opera. Which he probably wont seeing as it has been so long since the first one was produced. Plus it wouldn't really work seeing as the Opera house burnt down..
I think they didn't put this in the movie because it somewhat shows a nice side to the Phantom, but the director was looking for a more violent murderer guy so Christine wouldn't fall in love with him. But I have <3!!!
Seriously people, you'd pick a homicidal maniac who had kidnapped you, punjabbed several of your colleagues, stalked you, showed a creepy obsession with you, lived in a damp dungeon and set fire to the opera house...over your childhood best friend who only showed signs of wanting to protect you? Because he can SING? Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Why did she pick raoul? before she even got married to him she found the phantom, slept with him, he leaves, she had his baby, (10 yrs later) went to cony island to sing, ended up fallin in love with him again, he finds out about his son, makes a bet with raoul that she'll pick him over him, raoul loses bet leaves, meg goes bonkers, tries to kill phantom's kid, ends up shooting christine, she dies and the phantom ends up without his true love(again) it wouldve been better to just pick him 1st!!!
@Mikiwaterdemen If you refer to Love Never Dies, I Honestly can ONLY see that as either being Canon to the Phantom Story or otherwise an Alternative ending- To me the REAL ending would be of After Christine kissing the Phantom, he does develop some humanity to him and once he realizes what he has done, what he is doing and at what lengths, If SHE were to love him, it should not be by emotional blackmail in what he was doing. so he set's her free with Roaul, in thats how much he loved her
@Mikiwaterdemen I read a fanfic that took off from after the movie. She did indeed see Erik while she was engaged to Raoul. I didn't read anymore because it was too much. Ha ha! I became very infatuated with the story.
I would totally choose The Phantom. Why? He truly is in love. Would do anything for her.
@Mikiwaterdemen Thank GOD I've actually seen both musicals before reading this comment. That way I can laugh as heck at the comment instead of bashing you for spoiling it. xD
She made bad, bad decisions...it bit her in the butt in the end!
But in a way I think she wanted stability in her life and thats why she chose Raoul to begin with. Erik was all over the place...hot and cold. So I do get that. She always loved him though thats the thing.
@ModerneVampiressa I Agree. Tean Erik! But In being Team Phantom/Erik, we are Forever Alone! LND was a terrible fanfic, I dont acknowledge its existence unless i am spitting on it.
@Mikiwaterdemen When did this stuff happen? I don't remember any of that happening in The Phantom of the Opera. I seem to recall that similar events happened in Phantom: Love Never Dies, but as we all know, that's a totally stand alone piece...
You all realize That Christine DID choose the phantom, right? When she sang to him "god give me courage to show you you are not alone" she was choosing to stay with the phantom so Raoul could go free but then Erik let her go free bcuz her kiss was the first act of love that he had ever received.
i love Erik dearly but i think that she chose the right person. Don't hate. If i were Christine i would've chosen Raoul too. This song is really pretty. :D
I love Gerald Butlers work. His best role EVER. Its a shame they deleted this song i would see it at the end whenn she leaves him instead of the crashing mirrors scene...
In my own opinion I don't really see why this song was deleted. They say its because it made Erik 'to much of a softie' but I think that that was really a side of Erik. He was so tormented as a child that he had no idea how to interact with people, and killing them just seemed like a reasonable answer. Yet, under all that there was seriously a tormented character who only wanted love, kind of really sad to watch. End my over anaylis of a character.
there's just one thing i don't understand, phantom teaches Cristine throughout all her musical career, but still when she sings "think of me" on the stage, he gets all enchanted by her voice.....what?
@skatmusen It's probably because though he taught her to sing, since she was never in a lead role (or any big role) she never had a chance to really use it. so that was the first time really hearing it in all of its glory, finally seeing the product of their hard work.
They shouldn't have cut it, Gerard Butler sings so beautifully.

Would you fall for a killer who stalked and abducted you? Do keep that in mind.

@yessirrxo That would only happen if Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted to write another Phantom Of The Opera. Which he probably wont seeing as it has been so long since the first one was produced. Plus it wouldn't really work seeing as the Opera house burnt down..

I think they didn't put this in the movie because it somewhat shows a nice side to the Phantom, but the director was looking for a more violent murderer guy so Christine wouldn't fall in love with him. But I have <3!!!

Seriously people, you'd pick a homicidal maniac who had kidnapped you, punjabbed several of your colleagues, stalked you, showed a creepy obsession with you, lived in a damp dungeon and set fire to the opera house...over your childhood best friend who only showed signs of wanting to protect you? Because he can SING? Oh yeah, that makes sense.

Why did she pick raoul? before she even got married to him she found the phantom, slept with him, he leaves, she had his baby, (10 yrs later) went to cony island to sing, ended up fallin in love with him again, he finds out about his son, makes a bet with raoul that she'll pick him over him, raoul loses bet leaves, meg goes bonkers, tries to kill phantom's kid, ends up shooting christine, she dies and the phantom ends up without his true love(again) it wouldve been better to just pick him 1st!!!

@Mikiwaterdemen wow where did you find that out poor phantom if i were christen i would have picked him first
hihihihi563 6 months ago
@Mikiwaterdemen If you refer to Love Never Dies, I Honestly can ONLY see that as either being Canon to the Phantom Story or otherwise an Alternative ending- To me the REAL ending would be of After Christine kissing the Phantom, he does develop some humanity to him and once he realizes what he has done, what he is doing and at what lengths, If SHE were to love him, it should not be by emotional blackmail in what he was doing. so he set's her free with Roaul, in thats how much he loved her
mgrchip 6 months ago 2
@Mikiwaterdemen I read a fanfic that took off from after the movie. She did indeed see Erik while she was engaged to Raoul. I didn't read anymore because it was too much. Ha ha! I became very infatuated with the story.
I would totally choose The Phantom. Why? He truly is in love. Would do anything for her.
By the way, Gerard is brilliant in the film. xoxo

She made bad, bad decisions...it bit her in the butt in the end!
But in a way I think she wanted stability in her life and thats why she chose Raoul to begin with. Erik was all over the place...hot and cold. So I do get that. She always loved him though thats the thing.

sugahmama1234 6 months ago
You all realize That Christine DID choose the phantom, right? When she sang to him "god give me courage to show you you are not alone" she was choosing to stay with the phantom so Raoul could go free but then Erik let her go free bcuz her kiss was the first act of love that he had ever received.

TheOrnella09 7 months ago 3
In my own opinion I don't really see why this song was deleted. They say its because it made Erik 'to much of a softie' but I think that that was really a side of Erik. He was so tormented as a child that he had no idea how to interact with people, and killing them just seemed like a reasonable answer. Yet, under all that there was seriously a tormented character who only wanted love, kind of really sad to watch. End my over anaylis of a character.

there's just one thing i don't understand, phantom teaches Cristine throughout all her musical career, but still when she sings "think of me" on the stage, he gets all enchanted by her voice.....what?
skatmusen 7 months ago
@skatmusen It's probably because though he taught her to sing, since she was never in a lead role (or any big role) she never had a chance to really use it. so that was the first time really hearing it in all of its glory, finally seeing the product of their hard work.
