As a musical, the music of this film is very appealing, and the costumes and dances are also very classical. I just feel that the words of the protagonists are a bit too clear, and the lyrics are not as Shakespeare as imagined. Elegant and refined, very modern English is not as good as the slightly Italian singing voice of the supporting actress Carlotta. The legend of the story is very strong, and the mysterious atmosphere is well set off. Although there are some loopholes in the plot, the overall appreciation is still very strong.
Phantom's ugly appearance reminds me of Quasimodo, but Quasimodo has kindness, while Phantom has talent. Of course, a genius can also be a devil, especially when his appearance has become a devil. It is not without reason that physical defects lead to psychological distortions. It was he who made Christine's success, but also wanted to monopolize this beautiful fruit. When a loved one we have had for many years is in danger of being lost, it is always frustrating and desperate. Even as tolerant and generous as Jean Valjean, he would be jealous because his adopted daughter fell in love with a young man. Because people regard him as a devil, this has become his only sustenance and hope in his life. Although he is trapped in a dark hell, he will also be disappointed by seeing his soul transformed into colorful dances and flying songs on the stage. Extremely relieved.
In the scene where he leads Christine into the underground passage, the masked man, the candlelight, and the dark and hazy world are like a fairy tale dream. At that moment, it could not be denied that Kristin had a crush on him. But when she found her real prince, his heart was mercilessly torn apart, and his talent and life were no longer dependent on him, and he could only continue to create panic and murder to vent his anger. And when he saw that Christine could sacrifice himself for the one he loved, he knew that everything was irreversible, and he finally broke down. His strength, his arrogance, and his ruthlessness collapsed instantly in tears. But many years later, although the years have passed, the theater has been dilapidated, and the world in the eyes of the parties has become a monotonous black, white and gray, only the rose is still firmly in bright red, and the lonely and lasting love has also become The only constant warmth and beating in my heart. The devil's love is not untouchable.
