The Phantom---The Phantom of the Opera Film Review The Phantom of the Opera is undoubtedly a classic, not to mention the suspenseful plot, not to mention the wonderful dance, not to mention the beautiful music, just the part of the Phantom in it, it gives people endless inspiration. Endless reflections and thoughts. When the chandelier at the auction was lit and slowly rose, the seats, sculptures and theaters covered with dust and spider silk regained their dazzling luster in an instant, and the small society formed by the opera house gradually became exposed to the world. Here, old, young, men, women, nobles, lowly, cooks, maids, grooms, actors, commoners, dukes, etc. all kinds of people are mixed together. However, few people know that at the bottom of this noisy and noisy theater, there is a ghostly phantom hidden. At the beginning of the film, the Phantom punishes the picky female lead in order to help the beloved Kristen get to the starring throne. The actress has tall eyebrows and two asymmetrical moles, which makes people feel disgusted at first glance, so her end is very happy. When Kristen sang, the whole theater was silent, whether it was the poor servant or the noble rich, they were all impressed by her flawless singing. This reflects the outstanding ability of the Phantom from the side, and also reflects the Phantom's great effort in Christine and the unparalleled love of the Phantom for Christine. When Christine was led to the Phantom's underground palace, the Phantom sang his first lyrics. His voice is full of loneliness and vicissitudes, there is a bit of determination in his hoarse tone, and a hint of tenderness, full of endless love for Christine. It is worth mentioning that the tune of this song has been performed many times in this film, but in different situations and under different lyrics, the emotions revealed also change accordingly. Just like Qingwen's song in A Dream of Red Mansions, slowing down by two beats is a sad song, and fast-forwarding two beats, it turns into a cheerful song. You can't imagine that two very different feelings can be combined in the same song, however, the charm of music lies in this. On the snow-covered rooftop, Christine and Raul, a rich boy, cut each other's guts, and all this happened to be heard by the phantom hiding behind the statue. After they left, the bright blood-colored rose that was discarded on the white snow appeared on the camera. Looking at this rose, Phantom felt lonely and betrayed. He broke his heart and smashed the rose. In fact, Phantom is like a child who does not understand the world, and he is unwilling to hand over the things he created with his own hands to others. He loves this thing deeply and takes it for granted that he should love himself too, but he ignores that this thing is a person, a thinking person, a person with his own feelings, an independent person who has the right to choose his own love people. His love, to others, is a kind of overbearing love that others may not accept, but he doesn't care about it. At the masquerade party, the appearance of the phantom shocked everyone, and the original excitement disappeared in an instant. In this big theater, in this small society, the Phantom is like a monarch in a kingdom, because only a monarch can have such a great deterrent effect. Like 1900 in the pianist at sea, he was abandoned in this theater, this became his home, his hometown, his playground, he knew every room and stage of this theater better than anyone Every institution in the world, such ability is enough to make him the king of this world. At the end of the film, The Phantom completes Kristen and Lauer. Some people say that it would be very abrupt to deal with the ending. However, I don't think so. We still remember that when the phantom looked at the orangutan banging on the cymbal affectionately, his eyes revealed gentleness, his face was calm, and he was not as ferocious as before. Perhaps, deep in his heart, there was another unknown one side. Half of the Phantom's face is handsome and handsome, while the other half is ugly, so he wears half a mask to cover it up. He hopes that by doing this, he can cover up the ridicule of others and cover up his inner inferiority complex, but he did not. Thinking that this half mask hides the kindness hidden in the depths of his heart. In French writer Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, the ugly bell ringer Quasimodo represents kindness, while the handsome archdeacon represents hypocrisy and cruelty. This opposition between beauty and ugliness may be a European worldview , and the half face and half mask of the phantom is proof of this, so the completion of the phantom is not abrupt. In many of Stephen Chow's comedy films, there is always such a theme, what is gained is lost, and what is lost is found again, and for the Phantom, what you want to get is only what is gained and lost, and the commonality between the two is that Yes, they all lost, the difference is that the Phantom doesn't seem to have gained anything, and even seems to have lost his most precious thing. But in fact, I think Phantom has gained maturity in this process and learned to tolerate and let go. Perhaps, only after experiencing loss can people gradually mature, and Phantom can walk out of his closed and dark underground palace and inner world, and move towards the bright world, and live a normal, happy and happy life.
