seemingly happy irony

Just finished watching the 1943 version of The Phantom of the Opera. It's really nice that every character is alive. Although there are not many movies I have watched, I am willing to think more about the intentions of the screenwriter and director of each movie. The disfigured violinist was clearly a tragic figure, pure and introverted, and the kind of love reserved for the outgoing and popular Chris felt out of admiration rather than as real long-lasting. Feelings, what I am adhering to now is the same, there are many girls like Chris Dian who enjoy the feeling of being pursued, and they are very useful in them. Does Chris Ding really have no idea who the training he has received for so long has come from? Last time I took a mental training class, I also talked about this, enjoying the contributions of others without expressing a clear point of view, which is easy to cause misunderstandings and more serious consequences. The cop and the tenor are reconciling characters, and I'm sure anyone who sees them will like them. There was a scene where the original female lead singer was drugged off. Chris's first reaction was to find the female partner next to him to express his joy and let me see the end with tinted glasses. The ending ends with the violinist's death as no surprise, but the bud of a false love and bad communication, and vanity. It has a very ironic effect on this seemingly happy ending.

Phantom of the Opera quotes

  • [Christine has left Raoul and Anatole in her dressing room while she greets a crowd of admirers]

    Raoul D'Aubert: Would you join me for a bit of supper at the Cafe de l'Opera?

    Anatole Garron: With pleasure, monsieur.

    Raoul D'Aubert: Think we can get through this crowd?

    Anatole Garron: Certainly. After all, who'd pay any attention to a baritone and a detective?

  • Amiot: [Upon hearing about a thief in the opera house] Call the police at once! This must be stopped!

    Vereheres: Monsieur, I'm afraid the police can't stop that. It's he.

    Amiot: Who?

    [VEREHERES begins to make gestures at his nose and chin]

    Amiot: Oh, please. Don't start that nonsense again, Vercheres. At your age, you ought to know that there aren't any ghosts.

    Vereheres: Monsieur, you are skeptical, but I don't like ghosts. I'm a busy man.

    Lecours: What's that?

    Amiot: Oh, our brilliant stage manager insists there's a malicious ghost prowling about the Opera. If anything goes wrong, he thinks this ghost did it!

    Vereheres: Oh, monsieur...

    [to LECOURS, again making gestures to his nose and chin]

    Vereheres: He has a long nose, and a big red beard!

    Lecours: You make me nervous!
