Aside from the plot, the film is still quite atmospheric: the story begins with an auction in a dilapidated theater, where a crystal chandelier is auctioned off, triggering the old heroine's memories. Then, The broken crystal lamp was slowly raised, the surrounding noise sounded, and a gust of wind swept the entire theater like a smashing plate, reproducing the prosperous scene of the year. Few films made in China can express so magnificently.

As I said before Yes, for this work, the only thing I admire is its bearing, and I have reservations about the plot. Our Mr. Phantom, with his talent, has transformed Christine from a small supporting role into a The protagonist on the red carpet. Needless to say, the tricky relationship between these two is too much in line with the traditional classic love drama model: Mr. Phantom is moved by Christine's pure beauty and devoted his life to teaching each other. And we are lovely Christine, who is also known as "ANGEL OF THE MUSIC", has always had a kind of vague affection for the phantom mentor. If there is no accident, the ending of this story is estimated that there are eight or nine of the spectators. Guessed it.

But the box office would not be too good-looking. So, our super popular beautiful girl killer Chagni appeared! Purely an impeccable character. According to a set of evaluations that we have had in China since ancient times The standard for attractiveness of a man - Pan Lv and Deng Xiaoxian - except for the donkey, which cannot be verified, the rest are all horns that can get full marks. (Actually, the donkey is just impossible to verify, but According to his physique, it is very likely that he is also a full score.) Just like this, the person who sees the flowers and sees the flowers plays the role of Cheng Yaojin. It is such a melon man who passed by Christine before. No bird has ever beaten Christine's melon man. Seeing our Christine being trained by Mr. Phantom to be graceful and noble like a goddess, he immediately started his pursuit. So, our In Christine's mind, the advantages and disadvantages are listed according to the principles of economics:

PROS (Phantom) CONS (Chagney)
handsome 0
Rich 0
Strong 0
Young 0
Thoughtful 0
Time Ample 0
Genius Talent 0

Even if you have the talent of heaven and man Soon, our Christine made a rational choice in line with economic principles. Our Mr. Phantom quit. Mr. Yu Zhongguang has an essay about his three daughters who have reached their breaking point one after another. A Each Prince Charming drives their various mounts (motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles...) all the time around their house, trying to kiss her three daughters away like a prince kissing Sleeping Beauty. The old gentleman quit. , All day long at home, the martial law is set up like an enemy: the postman only sends letters to the door, and if a man calls, he will only make a call after cross-examination... In the end, the prince charming is still with the help of his daughters. , to break through many obstacles, and pull the princesses on their mounts and leave. In this regard, Mr. Yu has a subtle metaphor: "If you plant an apple tree and cultivate it carefully for 16 years, when the melon is ripe, and you haven't seen the fruits of your labor for 16 years, passersby will blow it. The whistle picked up the apple, how annoying! This is not the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing is that the apple fell off and rolled by the pedestrian's feet..." Thinking of our Mr. Phantom, At this moment, I should be able to deeply understand the heartache of Mr. Yu.

I don't want to talk about the next episode. It probably means that our Mr. Phantom became angry because of jealousy and suddenly became the role of anyway. And with the help of the heroine Christine, our little Lei suddenly became a popular hero. Then everyone worked together to defeat the anti-No. 1, and the prince and princess lived a happy life... Personally, I feel that the story has changed here.

This work is not like "Notre Dame de Paris" Phoebus is to Quasimodo, it has obvious personality levels. Even so, isn't our little beauty Esmeralda still blurred in it for a long time? Not to mention that the difference between Mr. Phantom and Chagney in the opera "Song" is that Chagney does not have the outstanding talent of Mr. Phantom. , and Mr. Phantom doesn't have everything Leo has. Make a hypothesis: Put aside some of the negative effects of the Phantom, such as blackmail, murder, and the extremely fragile self-esteem caused by the ugly face, and replace it with the careful teaching of Christine from childhood, using legal and reasonable. The method pushes Christine into the spotlight. In this case, killing a Chagney and directly causing Christine to switch to Chagney's arms, this work will become a pair of Works criticized by women. And the original author, Mr. Caston Lehu, brilliantly exposed the dark side of Mr. Phantom's personality little by little. It gives people the illusion that the inclination of the balance in Christine's heart must be related to Phantom. Mr.'s change is linked. Because of his ugliness, his cruelty, his extremely arrogant and extremely vulnerable self-esteem, any point becomes a powerful reason for Christine to switch to the arms of others.

In this work. It's Christine who can't be blamed, but it's Mr. Phantom who deserves reflection. If he knew the ending was like this, would he still fall in love with Christine as he did before? But without Mr. Phantom, would little Kristen have let Chagney recognize and fall in love with himself in his unpretentious dance dress and crappy shoes?

Taking a step back, even if Phoebus and Quasimodo in Notre Dame de Paris have such distinct personalities, their ugly appearance is an insurmountable gap between them. This is not a fairy tale. It is impossible to turn a big monster into a free and easy prince like "Beauty and the Beast", so that the two can live a happy life from now on. In the real work, Mr. Hugo had to arrange death as the only reasonable way to let Quasimodo die, so that Esmeralda's love could be retained at that moment forever. To extend this to our Mr. Phantom, he ended up escaping, with a broken heart...

Investigating the reason for writing this, I personally think that every man subconsciously is a Phantom with a white mask, I constantly ask myself: When a Chagni appears in front of my woman, do I really have the confidence to keep her?

The article should have ended in the last paragraph, and I suddenly thought that if a woman reads the whole article , will you send this question: Do you think we women can't stand in front of handsome guys, do you have so much confidence that you won't be shaken when you men encounter beautiful women?

Sweat!!! What kind of world do I live in ? !!!
