I don't get why everyone hates the Phantom. He's a good person, he's just misunderstood by everybody. If I was a girl, I'd feel bad for Phantom and I'd be glad to stay in the sewer system (if you will) with him. Raoul's just fucking retarded in my opinion, and during the whole time, it seemed like he didn't give a shit about Christine until the part where she played main role and Phantom has basically liked her since she got to the orphanage/Theatre.
As much as I sympathize for the Phantom for his plight (no love growing up, treated like a freak all his life, forced to live underground when he killed the man who tortured/abused him-society made him the monster he was), don't forget: he was emotionally manipulative, mentally unstable AND he murdered people.
@SamuraiGirl02 exactly. I think he's an incredibly well-crafted character. He has been psychologically wired to kill and therefore there is no scientific guarantee that he won't ever hurt Christine; one cannot deny science (psychology). Furthermore his will to possess Christine overpowers his actual love for her. Judging by the comments, most of the people here are teenage girls with raging hormones, so it was nice to read your comment.
@kohakuspirit he did kill people but only one was realy bad one was to save his life so it was self devecn and on was an atsiden the last one he was trying to knock him and when the chandler droped thats what realy killed him so :p
@1969wrestling Uh...what? No, the Phantom did not kill those people from self-defense. He killed Joseph Buquet to make a point, and that was it. Joseph Buquet might have been a bad man, but that does NOT justify murder. And then the Phantom killed Piangi simply because Piangi was in his way. And if we're going by Leroux, he's killed probably dozens of other people simply because he wanted to. He's psychotic. I love him as much as anyone else, but Christine made the right choice. He's crazy.
@MissAliGrace Joseph Buquet looked at little girls change and i did reached on the piangi death and tells you read the phantom of mannahtan learn and the frist guy it was self defence he was going to kill him it was kill him or die i would have killed him to and christane did make the right choice if she picked him there would have not been the awesome seirs the phoenix of the opera tell you more about the seris if you want
@1969wrestling Is English not your first language? Because I'm having a really hard time understanding you. But first off, NO. In the ORIGINAL book, Buquet did nothing wrong. He was nothing but an old guy who worked at the opera. The Phantom killed him for NO reason. But even if Buquet looked at girls, he should be in prison. That does NOT justify murder. And if we're taking Phantom of Manhattan (vomit) as canon, I guess we can say that the Phantom raped Christine and wore clown suits. Wow! Joy!
haha if I was Raoul, screaming and chained to some gate and shit, I would have seriously went "WTF!? What's going on!?" when Christine suddenly went over to kiss the Phantom.
When she gave him the ring, I was so upset. She just left him there, all alone with his despair. Poor man. I'd gladly stay underground with Phantom :D Raoul's not even cute -____-
@VvLunaTonevV The worst part is that you can quite clearly tell by the look on his face that she thinks she is going to stay with him. It is so heart breaking.
if i was her i would of told roul after he kissed me and said to leave i wouls say roul hes losed so much i want let him lose me. t still love you but you can find some one else im the only on that will love him good bye. then i would go up find him say i loved him anf kissed him again then i leaved with him.
*Sigh* ..this scene makes my tummy flip and my heart jump! Such a tender moment between Christine and the phantom. I don't understand why she chose bland, boring Raoul over the phantom- he's so sexy, passionate and seductive! ;) And she kisses him and looks at him like she's really in love with him!
My only issue is that Raoul wasn't properly developed. We are only told what we are meant to feel about him and Christine. If he was a bit more interesting, this film would have much better conflict - therefore, much better story and moral dilemma.
Ok so at first when I saw this movie, this scene made me cry. Now when I watch it, all I can think is "Gerry, don't get shards of glass in your eye!" But the musical still moves me. Beautiful <3
I don't see why people don't like Gerard Butler's voice. I, personally, believe that it doesn't matter if your classically trained or not. What matters is that you need to convey an emotional response from the audience, and I believe this phantom has done that job right! Bravo, Mr. Butler!
He's looks so sad and like a little boy when hes singing to the monkey. When he says I love you it breaks my heart - how could anyone with a heart walk away from him? Id hug him for a long time, and kiss all over his face...then we'd run away together to a place where no one could ever hurt him, and I'd show my love for him every second to make up for all the years he hasnt known love.
i would have told him to let raoul go and that i would never leave i would stay right there with him
i would not be able to leave him he will never be the angel of hell to me always the angel of music and when he sings masquarade he looks so helpless and i wish he said he said i loved u to me
Dear Phangirls, please stop behaving like twihards. also, if you hear about a serial killer on the news, does your heart immediately go out to them? no? then stop worshipping the phantom. No disrespect intended, but beware of hypocrisy.
He was happy enough to let her go only with a kiss!!He really loved her with his heart....His soul!Even if he never take love and he lived in shadows he really loved Christine!!
@roxannabanana21 read the book the phantom of mannhon it tell you what happens 10 years after this its realy good and a one point its from the phantoms point of view its cool and if you like the phantom you might like the ending if its what i heard it is.
For peeps who see this the first time you feel so sad and fell like you hearts been torn to shreds this andrew lloyds Webber's best work yet the music makes feel what he feel and in a way it if hurts you feelings. This effects you for the rest of your life. This if my favourite ALW musical yet besides CATS.
By the way this moment is a good illustration fof how unexpected behaviour can shock and stop a maniac. When she all of a sudden kissed him passionately it was a surprise for him as he thought she would resist, she mixed up the roles so PO gave up his sinister plans. I read about real cases like this.
When Christine kissed the Phantom her eyes were closed (certainly not because of disgust to his face) so i don't think she didn't like it :D But Eric was too pure and romantic to take what he could get... Poor Eric :(
The Phantom was obsessive and dark and twisted and frightening... why would Christine choose him? I mean, I know it wasn't his fault - he had a tortured childhood. But still, Raoul was so good to her and didn't live in secret underground - he was her soul mate.
I think its sad how 6 years ago I ADORED this movie....And now I can't stand it. It's what started my obsession with phantom (Yes there are other versions besides the movie! *le gasp!*) But after I saw it on stage, I was like: "Wow. The movie sucks." But its fun to read comments on the videos for the movie, because it reminds me of ME 6 years ago. Thats back when I called Erik (yes..he has a name) "The Phantom". Before I knew Christine was a blonde in the book.. AND MNY OTHER THINGS. Memories
does anyone else think by the look on his face when christine comes back to give him the ring..he might have thought she was coming back to him...?????
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God Gerard Butler is a terrible singer. I can't believe he was cast in this film. Everyone should get the 25th anniversary - it's the greatest talent on display.
Watching this makes me feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest. =(
The poor poor man. If I were Christine I would tell Phantom that I loved him and that he will always have a place in my heart. Then I would kiss him and hug him tightly for a really long time. I would tell the angry mob to forgive him for all that he has done.
@CatMuse16 i just imagined... - don't punish Eric plzzz.. - ok, Eric. we forgive you as you have killed Joseph Buquet, no one has ever loved this drinking bastard... and this pitiful aristocrate Raoul... kill him right now! we hate noble men and we hate the poor! we want blood! grrrrrr
omg actually i can never stop crying during this movie and this part ESPECIALLY and when he crys with the monkey...omg. whole tissue box used up. no joke.
its so touching the detail is amazing! i wish it was a happy ending. then again the people always end up dieing. Go PHANTOM! if a character manages to make ME cry then it must be pretty Good
NO NO NO NO NOOOOO! THE PHANTOM IS THE VILLAIN! IF YOU READ THE BOOK OR SAW THE REAL PLAY! YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND! WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE THE VILLAIN!? STUPID SEX APPEAL! WHO EVER WROTE FOR CHRISTINE IN THIS MOVIE MADE HER NOT SCARED ENOUGH OF THE PHANTOM! D:< RAAAAGE
@TheNightcloudHATER This is Webber's take on it. Keep in mind, when the movie was being made Webber was there approving everything. If this isn't how he wanted his version of the story to go, it wouldn't be this way.It's not sex appeal. It's how it was meant to be.
@SparklesGoddess I'm an ALW fan, but I'm still going to say that most of the time he's REALLY stupid. It was for the money, like Nick Jonas in the Les Miserables 25th, and NOW freaking TAYLOR SWIFT in the movie. All of whom can't sing. AT ALL. And, no, it's NOT how its meant If you want to see how its REALLY meant to be, buy the 25th anniversary concert. With the amazinggggggggllly hot Ramin Karimloo (and he can actually sing!). And see how they made Erik look.. THATS how its meant to be. :)
@windcrest009 you had a disease that ate away half your face including your nose, you are a brilliant composer and had a love affair with a 14 year old girl when you were 40 and have killed several people? lol i'm just messing around...
@mihaeltomasovic no rather I loved someone and pulled them out of the depths of their depression and healed their wounds from a previous relationship where they were cheated on,showed them what love really is but was left behind for someone else. Only thing is the gender slots are different. I'm a woman and my ex is a dude (though sometimes how he acts i wonder if he's not a girl), I don't kill people though I do have problems with blood vessels in my face and it only causes a bluish mark on me
I want to hug him and tell him not alone! I feel so sorry for him. He only wanted Christine to love her back. Instead she got hooked up with that girly man Raoul. I hate her! PHANTOM, YOU RULE!!!!
Someone loved me that way when I was her age and I treated him in the exact same way...Do I regret it now? Yes I do. He's a retired professor from a famous University and very rich. I was a young fool...
@XxpurplehorsefreakxX No he did not commit suicide. In the end you can see that he left a red rose with a black silk ribbon and the ring at her grave.
@theandroidgirl yes he actually is supposed to outlive all of them... but in the book he did die in the theatre i believe which is a little confusing as this is based on the broadway adaptation, the best one in my opinion by Andrew Lloyd Webber written FOR Sarah Brightman... I mean there are actually separate endings for the book, the broadway adaptation, and the film....
here's a good question: how come phantom of the opera fans feel more sadness and sympathy toward the phantom in this movie than any other movie or story of phantom of the opera? maybe because...........GERARD BUTLER IS THE FUCKING PHANTOM!!!
Put it this way; if Christine chose the Phantom... what could we cry over, eh? I like that she chooses Raoul. Yes, she ripped out the Phantom's heart, put it on a sliver plate and served it to Raoul, but it just wouldn't be the same...
@MusicalLuver2930 But also note... Christine did choose the phantom, be it to save raoul but she still chose the phantom, the twist is that he loves her so much he doesnt choose her, he proves he really does love her by letting her go. Regardless Christine did choose the phantom.
this scene in the movie was one of the most emotional moments of my life. I seriously walked away from the theatre a changed man... a fabulously homosexual man
Why can't movies and plays be like THIS again, anymore!? The emotion, the music, the HEART! This was back when plays-turned-movies could still move you as much as they did (or even more so) than when they were plays! Why can't we have genius like this anymore!?
Phantom of the Opera.... The ORIGINAL Twilight!!!!! It's a love triangle between an indecisive, whinny Christie, a bland, emotionless Raoul, and a smoking hot, singing, mask wearing Erik
And of course she goes with the boring, overly dressed Raoul, instead of Erik, who treated her like a goddess, protected her in the opera house all those years, and gave her the gift of song.... Oh well, i love this movie!!! I <3 Erik!!!
One, Erik has a personality. Two, if you've ever read the novel, Erik is a hideous monster, not an only-somewhat-creepy-looking guy in a mask. Three, Gaston Leroux and Susan Kay could actually write, and PTO has a plot, and heart... everything that the Twilight franchise lacks.
There's no comparison. Twi-hards can flame all they want, but never, ever put my Erik in the same sentence as that pansy "vampire" Cullen.
Did i ever even mention Edward..... I HATE TWILIGHT!!!!! I was just saying that the story line of the two stories are the same.... But i COMPLETELY agree with you.... there is no comparison!!! Phantom Forever <3
Something worth noting, though- that kind of behaviour was acceptable for (and expected from) women in Leroux's time (late 18th/mid-19th century). Things have obviously changed, hence why PTO gets away with this, while Twilight sets back feminism- and I would also like to add that Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a damn.
I cried so much during this scene that one of my contacts popped out.
And he's singing Masquerade, and it's TRUE for him, he has to hide his face. And sitting in front of the monkey... she kissed him, and then he's crying and she gives him the ring, goes off singing with Raoul and leaves him... Poor Phantom...
@TheSulferzombie i bawled my eyes out so sad... i hope they make the movie"love never dies" the sequal or sumthing to this because i gotta know more i LOVE this movie and erik<3!!!
Christine is the sort of person that makes you want to SLAP her repeatedly. Throughout the entire film she was silly and down right ungrateful! The phantom stood by her all those years, made her a star and showed her what true love really meant. And yes, maybe he was obsessive, but who isn't when they're in love? Christine is a dumb asshole who will never find happiness because one day she will look back and realize that she broke the heart of the only person who truly loved her.
I hates it when she juss comes back to hurt him more and gives him the wedding ring back SERIOUSLY!!!!! my god i would have forgotten the booger and flicked it and stayed with the phantom ^_^
I don't get why everyone hates the Phantom. He's a good person, he's just misunderstood by everybody. If I was a girl, I'd feel bad for Phantom and I'd be glad to stay in the sewer system (if you will) with him. Raoul's just fucking retarded in my opinion, and during the whole time, it seemed like he didn't give a shit about Christine until the part where she played main role and Phantom has basically liked her since she got to the orphanage/Theatre.

God Gerard Butler is a terrible singer. I can't believe he was cast in this film. Everyone should get the 25th anniversary - it's the greatest talent on display.

Watching this makes me feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest. =(
The poor poor man. If I were Christine I would tell Phantom that I loved him and that he will always have a place in my heart. Then I would kiss him and hug him tightly for a really long time. I would tell the angry mob to forgive him for all that he has done.

@TheNightcloudHATER This is Webber's take on it. Keep in mind, when the movie was being made Webber was there approving everything. If this isn't how he wanted his version of the story to go, it wouldn't be this way.It's not sex appeal. It's how it was meant to be.

@SparklesGoddess I'm an ALW fan, but I'm still going to say that most of the time he's REALLY stupid. It was for the money, like Nick Jonas in the Les Miserables 25th, and NOW freaking TAYLOR SWIFT in the movie. All of whom can't sing. AT ALL. And, no, it's NOT how its meant If you want to see how its REALLY meant to be, buy the 25th anniversary concert. With the amazinggggggggllly hot Ramin Karimloo (and he can actually sing!). And see how they made Erik look.. THATS how its meant to be. :)

@mihaeltomasovic no rather I loved someone and pulled them out of the depths of their depression and healed their wounds from a previous relationship where they were cheated on,showed them what love really is but was left behind for someone else. Only thing is the gender slots are different. I'm a woman and my ex is a dude (though sometimes how he acts i wonder if he's not a girl), I don't kill people though I do have problems with blood vessels in my face and it only causes a bluish mark on me

@theandroidgirl yes he actually is supposed to outlive all of them... but in the book he did die in the theatre i believe which is a little confusing as this is based on the broadway adaptation, the best one in my opinion by Andrew Lloyd Webber written FOR Sarah Brightman... I mean there are actually separate endings for the book, the broadway adaptation, and the film....

here's a good question: how come phantom of the opera fans feel more sadness and sympathy toward the phantom in this movie than any other movie or story of phantom of the opera? maybe because...........GERARD BUTLER IS THE FUCKING PHANTOM!!!

Put it this way; if Christine chose the Phantom... what could we cry over, eh? I like that she chooses Raoul. Yes, she ripped out the Phantom's heart, put it on a sliver plate and served it to Raoul, but it just wouldn't be the same...

Phantom of the Opera.... The ORIGINAL Twilight!!!!! It's a love triangle between an indecisive, whinny Christie, a bland, emotionless Raoul, and a smoking hot, singing, mask wearing Erik
And of course she goes with the boring, overly dressed Raoul, instead of Erik, who treated her like a goddess, protected her in the opera house all those years, and gave her the gift of song.... Oh well, i love this movie!!! I <3 Erik!!!
MagentaCartherWrites 1 month ago
@MagentaCartherWrites Don't EVER compare Erik to Edward.
One, Erik has a personality. Two, if you've ever read the novel, Erik is a hideous monster, not an only-somewhat-creepy-looking guy in a mask. Three, Gaston Leroux and Susan Kay could actually write, and PTO has a plot, and heart... everything that the Twilight franchise lacks.
There's no comparison. Twi-hards can flame all they want, but never, ever put my Erik in the same sentence as that pansy "vampire" Cullen.

MagentaCartherWrites 1 month ago
@MagentaCartherWrites Oh, good to know. :)
Something worth noting, though- that kind of behaviour was acceptable for (and expected from) women in Leroux's time (late 18th/mid-19th century). Things have obviously changed, hence why PTO gets away with this, while Twilight sets back feminism- and I would also like to add that Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a damn.

And he's singing Masquerade, and it's TRUE for him, he has to hide his face. And sitting in front of the monkey... she kissed him, and then he's crying and she gives him the ring, goes off singing with Raoul and leaves him... Poor Phantom...
I'm starting to cry again.

Christine is the sort of person that makes you want to SLAP her repeatedly. Throughout the entire film she was silly and down right ungrateful! The phantom stood by her all those years, made her a star and showed her what true love really meant. And yes, maybe he was obsessive, but who isn't when they're in love? Christine is a dumb asshole who will never find happiness because one day she will look back and realize that she broke the heart of the only person who truly loved her.
