The point of no return

In 24 hours, I watched the movie twice, and listened to the original music in my spare time. I was in a trance on the way to work and in a meeting. Such a stirring music and such a poignant and tragic story completely captured me.
The point of no return is the most moving part of all the music. At that moment, I saw Kristen's obsession and dependence on the Phantom. It's hard to say if it was love, but it was attachment. Every time they were alone, Christine looked at the phantom with empty eyes, as if bewitched.
Their chorus was really tacit to the extreme. The tears in Raul's eyes were full of shock. He couldn't believe that Christine really had such deep feelings and fears for the "madman" in his eyes. component, although he still wants to protect his lover, as always, and strives to give her what he considers freedom.
The phantom said, "How can the person who hears your singing not fall in love with you?" In fact, Christine must have the same touch in his heart, but when the vibrations of these souls are covered by reality, When she faced the cruelty and mutilation of Phantom, something was broken, Phantom wanted real love and company, but his hope was so urgent and fierce that it hurt Kristen, but even though Phantom was Gentle and tolerant, can he get Christine? Probably not either.
Christine's kiss, that last kiss, although it was to save Raul, was really out of true feelings. After that, I realized that what the Phantom wanted, he didn't even think of it himself, but it wasn't that much. many.
Christine's love for Raul is unquestionable, childhood sweetheart, Raul's wholehearted love for her, this is a perfect love in the eyes of the world, and the intervention of the Phantom has left a regret for this love. For three of them, no other exit could be found. I really don’t know how the next few decades passed by the Phantom, maybe from a corner silently watching Christine, watching her get married and having children, watching her grow from young to old, watching her get sick and dying, staring at this. The only love and hope in my life...
I fell in love with the Phantom's voice, it seemed to be the most moving voice I've ever heard, and then I learned that Gerard Butler wasn't a real singer at all, he was the lead singer of a rock band in college, I've never recorded a record before, and I'm even more horrified. That rock-and-roll voice can interpret this music to such a refreshing level.
At the beginning, I felt that Butler was not suitable for the Phantom, because he was so handsome, his appearance, the scene in the mirror, was unparalleled, even my husband praised him again and again, and later, he was praised by him. After taking off the mask, the makeup is really a bit scary. The makeup that took 3 hours to make ugly makes people think of Quasimodo. Butler did a great job, especially the expression after being kissed by Christine, it made me cry. Butler seems to often play such lonely and bizarre characters, and has also played vampires, hehe.
I didn't expect that the little mm who played Kristen was only 16 years old at the time. Although she looked very innocent, she didn't expect to be so young. Some people said that her expression was monotonous and her acting was bad, but I really don't think so, I think There are so many emotions in her eyes, she is really beautiful, and it would be unimaginable to have an aunt play Kristen.
Playing Raul is a real Broadway actor, and I don't think he sings very well. This character is quite righteous, there is nothing particularly good, and there is nothing bad. It cannot be said that Raul is mediocre. This person is always brave and resourceful, but compared with the Phantom of Genius, it is inevitable that he will be compared a bit, but what? , after all, he is Christine's last choice, he is the winner. Losing the Phantom, Christine's heart will be empty, no one can make it up, but her life with Raul will still be happy.
This is a small production film. After watching the filming process, the theater is built like building blocks, which is very interesting, but the small production does not affect the aesthetic effect. If the musical "The Phantom of the Theater" has a chance to come to Shanghai, I will definitely will go.
