Love is not possessing, it is giving.

Every time I see the end of this movie, I will cry, especially when the point of no return is sung at the end, the delicate and tangled feelings between P, C, and R are revealed: Phantom's desperate and strong love, Christine's sympathy and intolerance, Rauol's shock and heartache.

When Phantom sang "the power I'm over you" in The phantom of the opera at the beginning, and finally sang "I love you, Christine". Exactly the same words, the same tune, he should understand: possession is not love. Anywhere you go let me go too.

Rauol sang to Christine: Save you lead you from your solitude.
Phantom sang to Christine: Save me lead me from my solitude.
Christine gave understanding and comfort to this marginalized soul, and let the flowers of love from the prejudice and indifference of the world Grows out of the poisoned spiritual land.
In the end, Phantom gave Christine and Rauol's love a way out, preferring to fall back into the unknown darkness, I think that is what he has understood: true love is giving.

(The above are my deepest feelings about this movie. Of course, many other places are also worth writing about. Let’s wait for it later.)

    The singing is very lively, but I just feel that the emotional expression is not as good as the original musical, but who asked Weber to write it for Sarah, about his father and about music of the night, it is a little love letter for a couple. Then I thought phantom looked familiar, I went to be a Spartan man

    20190126 Rewatch. I didn't remember the other characters except that the male lead singer was really ugly after watching it... I didn't notice the beautiful voice of Patrick Wilson at that time or I was too young! The Viscount is really good, and the two managers of the theater are also super cute~

The Phantom of the Opera quotes

  • The Phantom: You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge. In pursuit of that wish which 'til now has been silent... SILENT! I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already sucummed to me. Dropped all defenses, completely sucummed to me. Now you are here with me. No second thoughts. You've decided... DECIDED! Past the point of no return. No backward glances... our games of make-believe are at an end! Past all thought of if or when. No use resisting... abandon thought and let the dream descend! What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desires unlock its door? What sweet seductions lie before us? Past the point of no return. The final threshold... what warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no... return!

  • The Phantom: Seal my fate tonight. I hate to have to cut the fun short, but the joke's wearing thin. Let the audience in. Let my opera BEGIN!
