The sea can change the mulberry field, the world is white and cloudy, and the only thing that remains unchanged is love. Love can make heaven and earth thunder, and love can make mortals overwhelm the sea.
*About the story* (spoiler alert) This
film tells a love story that takes place in Paris in the 19th century. It is rumored that a terrifying "ghost" lives in the underground of an opera house. He has great talent and a singing voice, but was abused because of his ugly appearance. He fled the freak show as a child and hid in the theater underground for many years. He arbitrarily controlled the casting and repertoire of the Opera House, and when he was slightly dissatisfied, he appeared in a terrifying manner and used violence to intimidate everyone.
Christine Day, who lost her father at a young age, is a ballerina at the theatre. Whenever there is no sleep at night, she always prays for the angel of music to come to her side. The Phantom, who fell in love with her, posed as a musical angel and taught her how to sing. Nine years later, the beautiful Christine took the stage overnight and became the "muse" of Paris. After the Phantom learns that Christine is secretly engaged to Viscount Raoul, he attempts to threaten Christine with his marriage proposal. Kristin's helpless kiss made the Phantom understand that the outcome of this love game was decided. He chose to let go, leaving only a lonely mask for the world, disappearing into the darkness alone.
*love is fulfilled*
I believe that many people who have read the story will have a question: Does Christine love the Phantom or not? The ups and downs of Phantom's childhood have made his psychological world collapsed and distorted. He hid in the dark and damp underground labyrinth of the theater, listening to the tragicomedy operas being staged one after another, suffering because he was unable to display his talents due to a natural defect. Until she met that beautiful and lovely girl-Christine, she looked forward day and night to meet the musical angel that her father said when he was dying. The similar orphan experience made the Phantom pay more attention to this girl, and she also possessed the condition he longed for but couldn't get - a beautiful face. The Phantom came to her as a "music angel" and naturally became Christine's singing teacher. From the Phantom's point of view, Christine completed his pursuit of art and affection in his place, and she was almost his entire world. From Christine's point of view, Phantom is a musical angel, a teacher who taught her earnestly, a father and a friend, and a genius she was convinced by. Their love is a spiritual attachment. Compared to Viscount Raoul, the Phantom has already entered her heart: "He sang in my dream, and in my dream he came head-on... The Phantom of the Opera is there, just In my heart." The reality is doomed that they can only love each other in the spiritual world, and the Viscount is undoubtedly the most suitable worldly destination for Christine: childhood sweethearts, made in heaven.
Some people say that tragedy is to tear up the beauty for others to see. The phantom wearing a mask is proud and can confess to his lover with all the tenderness: "Wherever you go, please let me walk, that's my only request."; How humble and vulnerable he is when he takes off his mask , will cover the mutilated face in pain, can't help but get angry, and after losing a lover, will sing the chapter that should be happy like a lonely child: "Masquerade ball, masked faces in groups. Masquerade, cover your face, the world will never find you." Years of concealment also made him ignorant of the world, so he would choose the most primitive means just to achieve his goal. He coerced the theater to perform his "Don Juan" and killed the leading actor for his participation. On the stage, he used the opera to show his affection for Christine. The two intertwined in the drama and the real light and shadow like a dream. Even the viscount on the stage couldn't hold back tears. When the Phantom kidnapped Christine in the underground labyrinth, he said painfully: "This face is the poison that poisons our love." Christine said to him, "I am not afraid of this ghostly face now. The real twist is your soul." The twisted soul of the world replaced the phantom's mutilated face and became the deadliest weapon in his pursuit of happiness. Christine may not really understand him, but his love must be a thousand times deeper than that of the Viscount.
The Phantom couldn't bear to let go of this relationship, and threatened Christine with the Viscount's life to stay. Christine offered a kiss of redemption, which made the Phantom feel the warmth of human affection. He understood that his possessiveness had already surpassed love, and he finally chose to serve others. He once thought that he had created all the brilliance of Christine, but when he watched the back of his lover leave, he sang softly: "Only you can make my singing fly." At first, he thought that she was inseparable from him, Little did he know when he was already in a quagmire.
Completion, so that Phantom's deep love for Christine sublimated to a new height - true love, it is mutual love, but also know how to let go and fulfill.
*calls the return of humanity*
In this poignant and romantic story, the indifference of human nature is more chilling than the snow in Paris. The world of Phantom is very simple. He loves her and tries his best to keep her. A kiss from a lover is enough to light up his whole bleak life. What he has been pursuing all his life, isn't it just an affirmation? In those laughter and tears, there is the sweetness of a relative, there is a sense of shame, there is a certain satisfaction, and there is a deep feeling that is hard to part. A kiss is easy for ordinary people to get; but for him, it has a savior-like meaning. So simple, so pitiful and humble. He cried and said, "Take her, forget me, forget all this." Then he hid in the corner, secretly sad.
Back at the beginning, he was just a victim of indifferent humanity. The scars left by a person in childhood are difficult to mend over a lifetime. Sadly, he was innocent, but the world regarded him as a ghost and avoided him. The indifference of human nature is so chilling. In the play, Mrs. Giri commented on the Phantom: "He is a genius, an architect and a designer, a composer and a magician. He is a genius!" Yes, if the Phantom was treated equally, then he would definitely show it in Paris Brilliant.
The film implicitly criticizes the "violence of the majority" in the human world. The eyes of the world cannot rub a different sand.
The ending is intriguing, and the details are doubly moving: Decades later, on the corner of Christine's tombstone, a red rose with a black bow and a wedding ring lies lonely, its thorns plucked out - Years ago, Chris When Ting dumped Paris in one night, the Phantom once gave the beauty a delicate red rose.
He has come. The Phantom of the Opera is here, right in her heart. He chose to continue to guard her silently, devoting his life to love only one person.
Perhaps, he is in heaven, continuing to sing in her dreams. That long love song still seems to be haunting the sky: "Say that you would like to share a firm love with me for a lifetime. Guide me and save me from loneliness. Say that you need me to accompany you, no matter where you are, please let me walk-- That's all I want."
Those stormy emotions turned into a touch of tenderness overnight, like snowflakes flying outside the theater, tender but unforgettable.
