?Very unique adaptation, I think this version of The Phantom also has a lot of room for digging, a passionate suitor in his late 50s, a depressed but talented composer, trapped in poverty, hope He sought a way out through his own works, but he could not gain the approval of others, and even his whole life was stolen. When a strong corrosive liquid was splashed on his face, his life as a normal person came to an end. It's a pity that the movie didn't give him much shape, Christine didn't have a musical resonance with the Phantom, and after getting out of trouble, she only expressed her sympathy for him lightly. The interaction between Christine's two suitors, who are happy friends but tacit understanding, also dilutes the tragic color of Kedan (The Phantom). The musician was finally buried in the ruthless ruins, and it all seemed like the ending he deserved. His sincere love, the natural desire of the flesh, was talked about and ridiculed by those young men who were full of youth in their prime. He was so denied, as if a person should not have fantasies about love and desire when he is fifty years old. A young and beautiful body seems to turn into a rotten and uninteresting rotting wood at the age of fifty. His burst of vitality was crushed under the slate, destined to bring about an explosion. (Christine is still beautiful, unmelted cream in a china dish, caramel blush, fresh cherries from a can of fruit. Although the love between Phantom and her seems often Interpreted as a spiritual resonance, but I think the Phantom loves her, and to love her as a mortal must first be seduced by the appearance of her youth, beauty, youth, purity.)

Phantom of the Opera quotes

  • Enrique Claudin: Mademoiselle, may I speak to you for a minute?

    Christine DuBois: Why, of course.

    Enrique Claudin: You weren't on the stage tonight for the third act curtain call.

    Christine DuBois: Everyone seems to notice. It's really quite flattering.

    Enrique Claudin: [Becoming concerned] Why weren't you there?

    [Christine is puzzled]

    Enrique Claudin: Forgive me, but I have been a part of the Opera for so long. Everybody, everything connected with it, I feel it is so much a part of my life.

    [Christine pauses, then smiles]

    Christine DuBois: Yes, well, Monsieur Villeneuve is waiting for you.

    Enrique Claudin: You weren't ill, were you? You're not in any trouble, are you? Why it's impertinent of me, I know, but...

    [Claudin stalls, soon Christine kindly shakes his hand and smiles]

    Christine DuBois: You're very kind. Thank you.

    [Christine starts to leave]

    Enrique Claudin: CHRISTINE!

    [Christine turns back to Claudin in shock, Claudin soon realizes his mistake]

    Enrique Claudin: I'm sorry. Forgive me.

  • [Claudin is talking to Christine as they descend into the catacombs beneath the Opera]

    Enrique Claudin: See? Didn't I tell you it was beautiful? You didn't know we had a lake all to ourselves, did you?

    [Christine covers her face and sobs]

    Enrique Claudin: They've poisoned your mind against me. That's why you're afraid. Look at your lake, Christine. You'll love it here when you get used to the dark. And you'll love the dark, too. It's friendly and peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It's right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it. Then it's all beauty. And life here is like a resurrection.
