Like the beginning of the movie. The vicissitudes of life, the cobweb-intensive theater, slowly pursued the love in the depths of the years with a reminiscence pace. The Sri Lankan people have gone, only this dilapidated and ancient building still silently carries the memory of fifty years ago. Pieces of old things are auctioned at high prices, just because they are tainted with the breath of love, even though the love is so far away, so sad, so unforgettable. As the huge chandelier slowly rises, the dusty old objects become radiant, and the black and white old theater suddenly presents the luxury and luxury of the year. I like this feeling, as if God said Let there be light and the world turned back to its former beauty and glory. If God said let there be love, human beings would fall into the vortex of love, and it would be hard to extricate themselves. Since then, the film has returned to the scene 50 years ago. The French theater in the 18th century has been resplendent and dazzling. Melodious and heavy music is endless. I am amazed when I see it. If I watch a stage show live, I really have to complain that my senses are not enough. The first appearance of the heroine Christine made people excited, the muscles are like fat, the hands are soft, elegant and gentle, with unspeakable beauty. Raoul is a typical handsome gentleman. His childhood sweetheart love with Christine carries the warmth of sunshine. However, only the appearance of Phantom makes people feel handsome, mysterious and evil, like a black flame, enduring infinite tenderness in the frenzy.
Such an evil ghost is born with a twisted face, and has been treated as a foreign object for people to fool since childhood. The hatred in his heart increased day by day, and finally killed the guard in the circus and fled to the theater. From then on, he hid his mutilated face and lonely soul together under the mask. The world is so big, but there is no understanding, no warmth, no love. However, he has a genius of intelligence, he is an architect, composer, and even a magician. Such a rich and sensitive mind can only be a painful torture for him. When he sees the beautiful Christine through the gap in the basement and hears her natural singing, he falls in love hopelessly. Only she can interpret the beauty and sorrow in his music, and only she is the heroine he has long imagined in his heart. So, in her dream, when she was lonely and fearful, he comforted her with his own voice, and he made her believe that she was the ghost of music, to accompany her to grow up. Such a kind of heart-to-heart communication makes them dependent on each other's souls. Christine is his only warmth and hope in the world, he is only the guide of her soul, the comfort of loneliness. However, when the Prince Charming in Christine's life appeared, she immediately fell into an extremely beautiful relationship. But he felt fear and hatred. As a result, the ghost finally appeared in front of her, and attacked her with a kind of love mixed with pity and threat, with irresistible magic power. Christine was so tempted that she couldn't stop, she couldn't tell whether he was an angel or a ghost, a friend or a father, in a daze. However, his love has accumulated too much evil and darkness after all, his heart is proud but fearful, and his face is a pain that he can never hide. When Christine unveiled his mask for the first time, he suddenly became angry and wild, and his scars were obvious to the public, as if the bottomless loneliness and fear in the depths of his soul were fooled by people again, it was an unbearable grief that he could not bear. After all, Christine chose pure love, she and Raoul sang affectionately, fascinated. The ghost's heart was overwhelmed little by little with sadness in such tender music. He loves her, hoping that she is the only thing that belongs to him, but the more he wants to hold on, the more he has nothing, only boundless sadness fills the empty soul. Such a plot always reminds people of "Wuthering Heights", the same crazy gloomy, the same love and hate intertwined. How to balance love and possession? Both Buddhist scriptures and philosophy advocate resolution, love in another way, give it freedom, and let it go. Does this kind of love belong to another kind of high-level emotion? The ghost can let her go, let them finally get married, and keep their loneliness and gloom to live in the world, He must accept that he does not belong to this world, cannot have feelings, and cannot love. The essence of his life is shame and loneliness. However, can such pain suppress the fiery love? Maybe in life, some things should have been given up. The more I want to get them, the more I bet my whole soul into it, and in the end I don't even have any emptiness to comfort me. Therefore, people often say that enough is enough, and you can ask for it, so it's mature. In this way, maturity must be a very painful word. You must learn to let go, learn to heal yourself, and comfort yourself.
Suddenly found that he had been leaning towards the ghost, his gloom, his anger, his nothing, his sensitive and strong soul made people feel that there should be something to make up for his incompleteness. Some people say to love is to put oneself at the mercy of another person. Maybe it’s true. If that person loves you too, your world will suddenly become heaven. If he doesn’t love you, you can only accept this fact. Nothing will help you resist. I have always been in a trance that Christine loved the ghost, otherwise, when they performed "Don Juan Triumphant", the ghost would sing affectionately, say you'll share with me one love one lifetime, why her eyes are so intoxicated. And after 50 years, the elderly Raoul will personally send the ghost music box to her tomb, so she must miss him, and she must have worried about how he will live in this world that does not belong to her. Her feelings for him can only be hidden in her heart, turned into a kind of concern, lingering in the days of life.
What is unforgettable for a long time is that the three of them fought in the underground maze, and the ghost threatened Raoul, threatening to kill him if he could not get Christine's love. Such threats made Christine feel resent and hopeless. She told the ghost that she would not love him, but responded to his threat with a hard kiss. This pitiful creature of darkness cried silently for a long time after being kissed for the first time in his life. All the hatred, thirst, loneliness, and fear turned into black shadows under the kiss, and the darkness and pain in his heart overflowed with a little warmth of comfort. He could not control this strong emotion, so he could only cry. To release the pain of life, the hardship of love, the broken heart in crying. For such a person who belongs to the dark, wanting to get a little love is such an extravagant thing, does he want too much? However, a kiss can dissolve all the stubbornness and hatred in his heart. He only needs a little warm love. Does he want too little? He let them go, forgetting everything that happened. After all, he let her go, let go of love. If a person really loves you, he will surely let you find the happiness you want, so true!
The end of the film returns to 50 years later. The former parties are dying. In a small corner next to Christine's graveyard, a red rose with the ring that the ghost once gave her, lies quietly there, letting the years go. Passed away like a tide. It turns out that he has been with her, in her phantom, in her dream, in her smile and crying, he has been with her invisibly. Such a silent ending makes people feel that the silent truth lingers in the heart. Through the years, there is always something that can be accommodated by the heart. Those stormy emotions only leave a gentle touch in the depths of the soul, so light, but so unforgettable.
Thinking of the final ending of "Wuthering Heights", it is also such a beauty:
I lingered round them, under that benign sky, watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
It turns out that silence is another kind of true love!
