The film takes the form of flashbacks, starting from the auction held at the Paris Opera in 1905, and the monkey music box, as the only property of Phantom, was eventually photographed by the elderly Raoul and placed in front of Christine’s tomb, when the famous chandelier was pulled From the beginning, everything went back to thirty years ago. Throughout the film, we don’t remember how outstanding Christine and Raoul are, and the emotions shown by Phantom underpin the whole film, and it also allows him to represent an eternal form of love, before and after him. In love stories, there are always characters like Phantom that make love deep and melancholy.
Phantom shaped Christine and fell in love with her, just like Pygmalion shaped Galatea and fell in love with her. There is a sculpture like Christine in Phantom’s underpass room. In the end, there is no merciful god. The sculpture becomes a Christine who belongs only to him. Christine never chose Phantom, she never thought of loving him, even though she was so purely attached to Phantom in a certain way at the beginning of the film, when other forms of affection appeared, this attachment was quickly abandoned. The cruelty of the girl is unknowing. She is so ordinary. The reason for being loved is only because Phantom chose her, and Raoul fell in love with Christine, who was shaped by Phantom. Without Phantom, Christine is just a small role to dance Carlotta. Perhaps the neglected corner of the opera stage will be submerged for a lifetime, and there will be no love that Raoul can't help it. This kind of relationship has not been fair from the beginning, because of Phantom’s help, Christine has love, friends, life and future, and Phantom’s closest friend in life may be his mask. He is just alone in the dark life. Struggling, no mercy, no love, no hugs and warm eyes. When he was imprisoned in the iron cage of the circus like a monster, he only had the music box. Will we be in desperate feelings for people? We don't know how to have feelings like love for things, but people who are hopeless must also have sustenance.
When people are lonely, they will look for even a little sustenance. Those sustenances will soon become the only salvation. Don’t put your sustenance on people, especially when you have no ability to let people love. Phantom bears the mask. The curse is a metaphor for the special form of love. It can be a distorted face or a mismatched identity. As long as it is one of the fateful forms, we are so easy to be caught Surrounded by such a sense of powerlessness, and then easily crushed, Phantom's final hopeless struggle is just to make him see clearly that Christine does not love him, the Christine who belongs to him will never come back after possessing Raoul, and will not call him music. Angels will not give a kiss under the guise of a mask, will not give a sincere look of gratitude, will not give a peaceful and harmonious relationship.
Who is your love for?
Phantom’s contribution is the best footnote to love. The unearned love that some people have at the beginning is something that many people pursue for a lifetime, and they can’t get it for a lifetime. The changing habits of love doom a broken love several times as much as a perfect love. Many people cry every night, people change from familiar to unfamiliar every night, and every night someone writes a new love story that has been repeated countless times.
Phantom smashed the mirror and left, and the mirror that I used to be clear had already gone out.
