Raoul showed him compassion by not murdering him at the cemetery, and Madame Giry showed him compassion by saving him and giving him everything he wants
@@Firegirl483 I kind of blame Madame Giry a bit for the Phantom turning out the way he did. Sure, she saved him that one time and gave him a safe place to stay, but she could have done more. I feel she didn't really show any love/kindness/compassion to Phantom (aside from saving him that one time), if she had then he would know what thinks like kindness and compassion are, because he would have experienced it. In other words, she didn't nurture him the way you would think she would have, based on how she seems to feel that Phantom is special to her (when she's telling the story to Raoul and she says things like he's a magician, genius, etc.)
@@kosselamm5077 Some people get messed up from their trauma like the Phantom His mother couldnt even bear to look at him and sold him to a circus where he was abused every day. So he did the only thing he could do and killed the circus master and fled with Madame Giry. But I doubt that Madame Giry tried to do anything to help him and make him not unhappy. Hes lived in that Opera since then with no knowledge of the world outside and even if he did go outside he would get shuned from society and treated horribly just because his face was deformed. So im pretty sure he would become the person he is from that traumatizing childhood
A lot of people say Gerard isn't a good singer... Maybe he's not the most talented but he definitely has a nice voice... But his acting is amazing and the best
I agree that he's a great actor. Like honestly, the more I listen to this song in particular, the more I can feel the pain and hatred in his voice and it gets me every time
To be fair, even Gerard has said he was surprise he landed the Phantom role because his background was in rock music. He said he even went to the London Academy of Music and they said he had the right range, but maybe it was an issue of timing. It probably takes a certain amount of range to hit these notes properly, but I actually don’t think Gerard’s voice is bad. I like his voice very much, but it’s not what I would consider operatic. There’s a lot of pain and roughness to his singing voice, which kind of suits the character. He’s so tormented by his love for Christine… it comes off nicely in his voice.
@@pat2rome uhmm.....if you want an EVEN WORSE example just look up Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast. At least they didn't have to autotune up Gerard's voice
"Pity comes too late Turn around and face your fate! An eternity of this before your eyes..." Let me say, the raw emotion you can feel in his voice is captivating. True, he may not be a professionally trained singer, but he can captivate an audience with how much feeling he puts behind his words.
i get the stage phantom anger but him get over it and why blame Christine she didnt make u allergic to grease paint oh raoul piss off Christine was doing ok phantom was paying attention !😣
I feel bad for the Phantom, but as Christine says, he'd allowed his "disfigurement" to seep into his soul. That's why I like the character for the Phantom. He's absolutely a villain, there's no defending his actions, but you can't help but feel sorry for him, because who he is is partially the fault of society around him. (Not that he doesn't bear blame for his actions, he still chose to murder, blackmail, and kidnap.)
"It's in your soul that the true distortion lies" Seriously, Christine was getting somewhere! But theeeen... Raoul walked in and Phantom thought "Nice! An excuse to change the subject before she keeps on lecturing me" Way to go, Raoul (and Phantom)!
Indeed! I will always be on the Erik 's side and quite frankly I would have chosen him and taken him outside of the cave to live somewhere nice to have a fresh start in life besides teaching him to be the human he never got to be had I been Christine because I have been tormented to utter despair like him however I never gave in to the darkside so I actually could've helped him mentally.
I don't hate Raoul (as the most of POTO fans) I understand Christine's decision, it's the right end of the story. But, there's the line that really makes me mad - "I love her! Does that mean nothing? I love her!" Really? "So what?" I wanted to say. I mean, I was waiting for Erik to say "So do I, you fool, that's why we're here" :D
But see, that’s the thing. This entire song is showing the difference between love and possession, and when Christine kisses Erik at the end, he realizes that he does truly love her and that’s why he lets her go. I’m not confident that before that time. Erik truly loved Christine, he just became possessive.
Victoria Pontmercy So . . . . what? She can connect personally to the Phantom without being in love with him (and who says she doesn't have feelings for the Phantom?). Even if Christine loves Raoul, that doesn't stop Raoul from being a distraction for the Phantom, so when he shows up, Christine's compassionate moment with the Phantom is over. She could have actually gotten through to him and stopped him from nearly strangling Raoul.
It looks like Christine chose the phantom when she puts the ring on her finger and makes out with him. I think she did have love for Phantom but also wanted to free Raoul. After she kissed him he realized how much he loved her and decided to let her go. Thats how I saw it
Erik becomes kinda sassy after Raoul shows up. Lmao. The way he just kinda shoves Christine away when Raoul tells him to free her. "Your lover makes a passionate plea…" "Be my guest.... sir..." "Order your fine horses now! Raise up your hand to level of your eyes..."
Gerard Butler, while not trained musically, still did a decent job with the songs in the film. And when it came to songs with notes he couldnt hit, he let his skills as an actor shine by focusing on performance more than vocals. And this part of the film showcases that fact perfectly. From the moment he's dragging Christine down to his lair the Phantom's world is up in flames (literally thanks to the chandelier), he's being hunted, the woman he loves revealed his disfigurement to everyone, by this point the Phantom is having a breakdown. Gerard Butler uses this scenario to strengthen the performance rather than the singing. The Phantom's voice is no longer melodic, his persona no longer suave and mysterious, his voice is more guttural and growling and the true broken, lonely man is on show.
It's been almost a year actually. between All I Ask of You and Masquerade, there's a 6 month timejump. And I imagine there's a month or two between Masquerade, and Don Juan Triumphant, because of rehearsing and all that.
phantom takes his hand off almost immediately, when Christine says "let me go", just cause it's a bit unconfortable to her. And it was so hard to Roul to just accept her choice to not to go to supper with him at the begining... (TEAM ERIC)
The fact that Raoul is trying to wriggle free while the Phantom binds him and continues doing it while he is bound but stops when he hears the impossible decision Christine has to make...
Lyrics For Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer (Pt. 2) [CHRISTINE] Have you gorged yourself, at last, in your lust for blood? Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh? [PHANTOM] That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood Has also denied me the joys of the flesh This face-the infection which poisons our love This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing Pity comes too late- Turn around and face your fate: An eternity of this before your eyes! [CHRISTINE] This haunted face holds no horror for me now It's in your soul that the true distortion lies [PHANTOM] Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest! Sir... [CHRISTINE:] Raoul! [PHANTOM] ...this is indeed, an unparalleled delight! I had rather hoped that you would come And now my wish comes true- You have truly made my night! [CHRISTINE, spoken (Special Edition only)] Let me go [RAOUL (pleading, grasping the bars of the gate)] Free her! Do what you like, only free her! Have you no pity? [PHANTOM] Your lover makes a passionate plea! [CHRISTINE] Please Raoul, it's useless! [RAOUL] I love her! Does that mean nothing? I love her! Show some compassion... [PHANTOM] The world showed no compassion to me! [RAOUL] Christine, Christine Let me see her... [PHANTOM] Be my guest, sir... Monsieur, I bid you welcome! Did you think that I would harm her? Why would I make her pay, for the sins which are yours? Order your fine horses now! Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes! Nothing can save you now-except perhaps Christine... Start a new life with me- Buy his freedom with your love! Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death! This is the choice- This is the point of no return!
The Phantom: This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing, Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?! Even his own MOTHER hates him for his face?!?!??! That is SO unjust!!!!!! His face is beautiful as it is!
The fact that Christine turned from his face and kind of ignored him must’ve broke the Phantom’s heart. Christine didn’t realize how much he loved her, he would’ve taken very good care of her if she just picked him instead of the love-sick puppy who claims the name of Raoul.
He also selfishly pressured Christine into choosing him. "I did it all for you and all for nothing!" (Might as well add "if you don't choose me" to that line) "Say you love him and my life is over!" (His life ending is the very thing Christine is trying to prevent, so by him saying that, he's actually basically saying that no matter what she chooses, his life is over, whether metaphorically or literary) "I fought so hard to free you." (So? That doesn't mean shit. This is Christine's decision, not yours, Raoul. She didn't even ask you to do that, so she owes you nothing.)
This is why the phantom doesn't deserve christine.. everything for him in this triangle is about winning and not loving its about breaking christine and raul apart... He is also extremely possessive of her and demands her to be with him as basically the only option showing how spoiled and immature he is...
Well yeah, that's the point of his character. He's never experienced true human contact or affection so like a child, when someone shows it to him, he wants it only for himself and no one else. Doesn't absolve him of the horrible things he's done, but does add to the tragedy of his character. He and Christine would never have been happy, and it isn’t until the kiss that he realises this, which is why he tells her and Raoul to leave.
And what's wrong with that? He loved her and wanted to be with her, everything he did was so that she could succeed, what else could an ugly person with a terrible personality do?
2:52 I have never been given an explanation for this and no one has EVER mentioned it but.... why does Raoul have blood on his shirt? In the "Wandering Child" scene where Raoul and Erik are having the sword-fight in the graveyard, Erik slashes at Raoul and cuts open his left arm, which makes him bleed quickly and makes him stumble for a moment before he carries on fighting. I'm pretty sure Raoul has blood on his shirt in this scene because it's the blood from the wound he received during the graveyard fight, however if that IS the case, then why is it still here in this scene? During the entire evening up to this point during the Don Juan performance and all that, Raoul hasn't been wounded other than being thrown earlier into the trapped chamber full of water which he manages to escape from without a scratch (other than nearly drowning). Raoul is also a Viscount, a wealthy french noble, so it's not like he would wear the same shirt twice in Victorian-era Paris ESPECIALLY if it has blood on it, he would either have it cleaned thoroughly or just have it thrown away and have a new one bought. So it makes me think, were the directors going to have a scene in this movie where he gets wounded again on the same arm and with an identical shirt but then cut it out from the final version? Or did they just give him the same costume and hope no one would notice a blood stain? Because other than that there's no reason with both historical accuracy and the plot of the film. Anyone know the answer or have a theory? (I'm a die-hard phangirl so I take Poto seriously XD)
Wounds can reopen if put too much stress on it. His cut might have been sewn shut, which probably means during drowning scene, he put so much stress moving around that the strings snapped
Wait, so FIRST Erik gives Raoul a severe wound which could have killed him if the sword went in to deep, THEN Raoul almost drowns in the lake trying to get to Christine AND THEN the Phantom threatens to kill Raoul if Christine doesn't marry him! For the love of God, give that guy a break!
I love Butler's delivery of "The world showed no compassion to ME!" It sounds like when Raoul tells him to show compassion, the Phantom is like, "WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I?"
Don't be so hard on yourself! If anyone says you're ugly, they're either stupid or jealous. You are fine just as you are, and don't let anyone take that away from you. That goes for you too, Erik. You are fine just as you are.

I spent 3,000$ going to NY buying Phantom of the Opera tickets, getting a hotel and taking time off of work just to see the live performance on re-opening weekend. Andrew you better love your fans.
@@ingridmay66 right now since I saw the live production, the play is my favorite. But i also love the 1990 tv mini serious, the 1926, Lon Channing and the movie just gives me nostalgic vibes.
@@ingridaguero6460 Yes, all versions are different. I also love the stage musical, the movie with Butler, the 1990 tv mini series and the old movie with Lon Chaney. But in the old movie the phantom was so creepy. 😆
Erik: The world showed no compassion to ME! What about Madame Giry? She saved you! If she wasn't there to help you escape, you might have ended up behind bars for murder, or worse. In fact, why did you go for Christine, not her?
Madame Giry, who saved him and knew about him never bothered to be his friend. I think he felt abandoned and alone in his cave. And he never really had any emotional contact with anyone. Looks like his only friend was that little monkey. But yes, she was the only one who was really kind to him. What annoys me is that there was not a single dialogue between them.
She seemed more like mother/older sister figure rather than a lover. Besides she never really paid much attention to him either. Christine was the only one who truly showed any sort of wonder or interest in the phantom, but only because she thought he was some spirit sent by her father. If he ever introduced himself like a person he would have just been cast aside as a freak just like everyone else does
My Mum: My dear, we have a guest. Me: *Goes to get brownies and lemonade* Phantom: I think, my dear, we have a guest. Christine: *Watches helplessly as the Phantom puts the noose around Raoul's neck*
Because Raoul is an idiot! All he had to do, was listen to Madame Giry's advice and "keep his hand at the level of his eye". Couldn't even do that. I laugh at him every time I watch this scene.... He goes to save her without any weapons ( didn't even take his sword ). Not much fighting spirit in dear Raoul.... 😂
The Phantom: Why would I make her pay for the sins which are YOURS Me: He didn't do anything!! Yes he loves Christine, but that's not a sin, or anyone's fault! You're the one who killed two people, sexually harassed Christine and now threaten to kill her lover if she does not marry you! Those are YOUR sins, not his. And why should you make him pay for the sins which are yours?
"Sexually harassed Christine".... When did it happen? Yes, he is trying to force her to marry him... But he does it out of desperation.... Raoul stole his work meaning when he set Christine up for the part...He wanted Christine to be the star. Yes, love is a sin... They are both madly in love...People do crazy things, when they're in love. 😆
ORDER YOUR FINE HORSES NOW! RAISE UP YOUR HAND TO THE LEVEL OF YOUR EYES! NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU NOW EXCEPT PERHAPS CHRISTINE!!!!! START A NEW LIFE WITH ME! BUY HIS FREEDOM WITH YOUR LOVE! REFUSE ME AND YOU SEND YOUR LOVER TO HIS DEATH! THIS IS THE CHOICE!!!! THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
If I were Christine, I would go straight and kiss the Phantom, and here's why: If I kiss him, I would end up spending my life with him. If I refuse, he will kill Raoul and, with nobody to save me, he would marry me anyway. Either way, I will end up marrying him, but if I make the first move, I would save Raoul. Alive and outside the lair, Raoul would be able to inform everyone what happened and save me. I would be free, Raoul would be alive and safe, and the Phantom would be behind different bars to the ones in his lair. That is why kissing the Phantom has a higher net gain than refusing to marry him and why I would choose that option in Christine's shoes (but mostly because I can't bear to see Raoul in excruciating pain).
I wish they made his face a little more deformed. Ex. deepen the wrinkles. I know to people back then it could be enough to mock him, but in that scene because of the light those deformations were barely visible and the only thing easy to notice is the bald part of his head.
Great idea, im sure the disfigured social recluse knows what romance looks like. In fact they should make a movie based on what a monster thinks romance looks like....
“The world showed NO compassion to ME!” sad line but true
Raoul showed him compassion by not murdering him at the cemetery, and Madame Giry showed him compassion by saving him and giving him everything he wants
@@Firegirl483 I kind of blame Madame Giry a bit for the Phantom turning out the way he did. Sure, she saved him that one time and gave him a safe place to stay, but she could have done more.

I still dont think you should be mean just because the surrounding was mean to you. Why be like them?
@@kosselamm5077 Some people get messed up from their trauma like the Phantom
His mother couldnt even bear to look at him and sold him to a circus where he was abused every day. So he did the only thing he could do and killed the circus master and fled with Madame Giry.

Anyone who criticizes Gerard needs to look up Steve Harley and you'll see it can get much, much worse.

Lyrics For Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer (Pt. 2)
[CHRISTINE]
Have you gorged yourself, at last, in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
[PHANTOM]
That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood
Has also denied me the joys of the flesh
This face-the infection which poisons our love
This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing
Pity comes too late-
Turn around and face your fate:
An eternity of this before your eyes!

This haunted face holds no horror for me now
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies
[PHANTOM]
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!

I had rather hoped that you would come
And now my wish comes true-
You have truly made my night!

Let me go
[RAOUL (pleading, grasping the bars of the gate)]
Free her!
Do what you like, only free her!
Have you no pity?

I always thinks of this whenever Gerard would say that...
The most offsetting thing about his disfigurement is that he doesn’t have an eyebrow-
I cried so much for two hours
Dunno bout you guys but imo Christine was rlly cool when she tried yelling to make him see sense
i would have stayed with Erik...aka, the Phantom. Gerard is by far the sexiest Phantom!

Damn get you a man like Raoul, he was willing to die for her.
He also selfishly pressured Christine into choosing him.
"I did it all for you and all for nothing!" (Might as well add "if you don't choose me" to that line)
"Say you love him and my life is over!" (His life ending is the very thing Christine is trying to prevent, so by him saying that, he's actually basically saying that no matter what she chooses, his life is over, whether metaphorically or literary)
"I fought so hard to free you." (So? That doesn't mean shit. This is Christine's decision, not yours, Raoul. She didn't even ask you to do that, so she owes you nothing.)
Rachael Kirkland lol you realise I was being sarcastic, obviously Erik was the better choice😂
I don't know, maybe Christine's idea is far more better than Erik's making a scene there. Christine can handle it, he just bad at timing...
This is why the phantom doesn't deserve christine.. everything for him in this triangle is about winning and not loving its about breaking christine and raul apart... He is also extremely possessive of her and demands her to be with him as basically the only option showing how spoiled and immature he is...
Well yeah, that's the point of his character. He's never experienced true human contact or affection so like a child, when someone shows it to him, he wants it only for himself and no one else.
Doesn't absolve him of the horrible things he's done, but does add to the tragedy of his character.
He and Christine would never have been happy, and it isn’t until the kiss that he realises this, which is why he tells her and Raoul to leave.
And what's wrong with that? He loved her and wanted to be with her, everything he did was so that she could succeed, what else could an ugly person with a terrible personality do?
I'm exactly one week older then Emmy Rossum.
Guys, I know I'm gonna be out of place and time with what I'm gonna say, but Emmy has an awesome manicure!! 😂😂
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Oh my gosh I thought I was the only person that fawned over her nails in this lol
Raul is the Toby of phantom of the opera
2:52 I have never been given an explanation for this and no one has EVER mentioned it but.... why does Raoul have blood on his shirt?
In the "Wandering Child" scene where Raoul and Erik are having the sword-fight in the graveyard, Erik slashes at Raoul and cuts open his left arm, which makes him bleed quickly and makes him stumble for a moment before he carries on fighting.
I'm pretty sure Raoul has blood on his shirt in this scene because it's the blood from the wound he received during the graveyard fight, however if that IS the case, then why is it still here in this scene? During the entire evening up to this point during the Don Juan performance and all that, Raoul hasn't been wounded other than being thrown earlier into the trapped chamber full of water which he manages to escape from without a scratch (other than nearly drowning).
Raoul is also a Viscount, a wealthy french noble, so it's not like he would wear the same shirt twice in Victorian-era Paris ESPECIALLY if it has blood on it, he would either have it cleaned thoroughly or just have it thrown away and have a new one bought.
So it makes me think, were the directors going to have a scene in this movie where he gets wounded again on the same arm and with an identical shirt but then cut it out from the final version? Or did they just give him the same costume and hope no one would notice a blood stain? Because other than that there's no reason with both historical accuracy and the plot of the film.
Anyone know the answer or have a theory? (I'm a die-hard phangirl so I take Poto seriously XD)
Wounds can reopen if put too much stress on it. His cut might have been sewn shut, which probably means during drowning scene, he put so much stress moving around that the strings snapped
The wound would have been reopened from the fall and the scuffling.
Wait, so FIRST Erik gives Raoul a severe wound which could have killed him if the sword went in to deep, THEN Raoul almost drowns in the lake trying to get to Christine AND THEN the Phantom threatens to kill Raoul if Christine doesn't marry him!
For the love of God, give that guy a break!
I feel bad for him😥
SAME 😭😭😭Raul you idiot
*Raoul*
that look that the phantom gives kristine at 0:08 when she asks him have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?? as if to say maybe
I love Butler's delivery of "The world showed no compassion to ME!" It sounds like when Raoul tells him to show compassion, the Phantom is like, "WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I?"
I can sing this entire thing.
Same
"Also starring Emma Rossum" lol, I love Wilson and Butler but Rossum has always been the star
Bro hes supposed to be this hideously disfigured man but he still looks better than me
same
Don't be so hard on yourself! If anyone says you're ugly, they're either stupid or jealous. You are fine just as you are, and don't let anyone take that away from you.
That goes for you too, Erik. You are fine just as you are.

Gerard Butler
He is my favorite character I have an MP3 player and listen to the full song of down once more I love it
I feel so bad for the phantom
I spent 3,000$ going to NY buying Phantom of the Opera tickets, getting a hotel and taking time off of work just to see the live performance on re-opening weekend. Andrew you better love your fans.
What is wrong? Don't like the movie?
@@ingridmay66 no I’m just pointing out how much I love the play
@@ingridaguero6460 Which version do you like the most?
@@ingridmay66 right now since I saw the live production, the play is my favorite. But i also love the 1990 tv mini serious, the 1926, Lon Channing and the movie just gives me nostalgic vibes.
@@ingridaguero6460 Yes, all versions are different. I also love the stage musical, the movie with Butler, the 1990 tv mini series and the old movie with Lon Chaney. But in the old movie the phantom was so creepy. 😆
Raoul must Run away the phantom is Going to hurt you again
У меня мурашки от Джерарда)
Erik: The world showed no compassion to ME!
What about Madame Giry? She saved you! If she wasn't there to help you escape, you might have ended up behind bars for murder, or worse. In fact, why did you go for Christine, not her?
Madame Giry, who saved him and knew about him never bothered to be his friend. I think he felt abandoned and alone in his cave. And he never really had any emotional contact with anyone. Looks like his only friend was that little monkey. But yes, she was the only one who was really kind to him. What annoys me is that there was not a single dialogue between them.
She seemed more like mother/older sister figure rather than a lover. Besides she never really paid much attention to him either.
Christine was the only one who truly showed any sort of wonder or interest in the phantom, but only because she thought he was some spirit sent by her father.
If he ever introduced himself like a person he would have just been cast aside as a freak just like everyone else does
christine's face at 2:58 oml
0:37 "boi what love you hatered fool"
Movie mistake with the veil. It started when he said “before your eyes”.
How dare that say that he's got a god Voice I love his voic
Phantom's Fred Mertz pants in this scene are distracting
My Mum: My dear, we have a guest.
Me: *Goes to get brownies and lemonade*
Phantom: I think, my dear, we have a guest.
Christine: *Watches helplessly as the Phantom puts the noose around Raoul's neck*
Because Raoul is an idiot! All he had to do, was listen to Madame Giry's advice and "keep his hand at the level of his eye". Couldn't even do that. I laugh at him every time I watch this scene.... He goes to save her without any weapons ( didn't even take his sword ). Not much fighting spirit in dear Raoul.... 😂
Melhor filme
I like the fact that Christine just stands there, looking, not doing ANYTHING about her man😂 Not cool girl, not cool👎👎👎👎
Raoul doesn’t love her he played her i have no idea why she fell for his trick
The Phantom: Why would I make her pay for the sins which are YOURS
Me: He didn't do anything!! Yes he loves Christine, but that's not a sin, or anyone's fault! You're the one who killed two people, sexually harassed Christine and now threaten to kill her lover if she does not marry you! Those are YOUR sins, not his. And why should you make him pay for the sins which are yours?
"Sexually harassed Christine".... When did it happen? Yes, he is trying to force her to marry him... But he does it out of desperation.... Raoul stole his work meaning when he set Christine up for the part...He wanted Christine to be the star. Yes, love is a sin... They are both madly in love...People do crazy things, when they're in love. 😆
@@ingridmay66 And even more crazy things when they don't get that love back.
@@pillypuppy666 I’d like an alternative story where Christine actually falls in love with him. And Raoul loses his childhood girlfriend. 😆
@@ingridmay66 Finally, we'd get a third-wheeler that isn't a psycho.
I got hiccup because his muscular handsome......
Honestly with a subtle deformity like that, if the Phantom was born just a century or two later he could've simply gotten plastic surgery.
Yeah he was supposed to have been much worse looking but Hollywood didn't want ugly people to be in movies. Even if it's just make up
Help me!!!!! Gerry OMG!!!! :O
0:09 Help me, please!!!!
hola mi amor te amo lo que hay aqui es un demonio
Am I the only one who thinks, that they could have talked more calmly if Raoul hadn't come?
Nope
Raoul always shows up in the worst time
If he didnt split from 0:42 to 1:06 he will never do that
Can someone write the lyrics of this small peice?
Erik quería acostarse con Christine o quería abusar de ella? :O
ORDER YOUR FINE HORSES NOW! RAISE UP YOUR HAND TO THE LEVEL OF YOUR EYES! NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU NOW EXCEPT PERHAPS CHRISTINE!!!!! START A NEW LIFE WITH ME! BUY HIS FREEDOM WITH YOUR LOVE! REFUSE ME AND YOU SEND YOUR LOVER TO HIS DEATH! THIS IS THE CHOICE!!!! THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
*FreEee heeeer* xdddd
If I were Christine, I would go straight and kiss the Phantom, and here's why:
If I kiss him, I would end up spending my life with him.
If I refuse, he will kill Raoul and, with nobody to save me, he would marry me anyway.
Either way, I will end up marrying him, but if I make the first move, I would save Raoul.
Alive and outside the lair, Raoul would be able to inform everyone what happened and save me.
I would be free, Raoul would be alive and safe, and the Phantom would be behind different bars to the ones in his lair.
That is why kissing the Phantom has a higher net gain than refusing to marry him and why I would choose that option in Christine's shoes (but mostly because I can't bear to see Raoul in excruciating pain).
I wonder if the phantom had this planned all along?
I mean, he probably did. After all, he said that Raoul's arrival was "an unparalleled delight".
she was kind of
mean to him in this
I wish they made his face a little more deformed. Ex. deepen the wrinkles. I know to people back then it could be enough to mock him, but in that scene because of the light those deformations were barely visible and the only thing easy to notice is the bald part of his head.
in the beginning
Oh no must run Christine dayea
😨😱😨
Next time try something more romantic just saying.
Great idea, im sure the disfigured social recluse knows what romance looks like. In fact they should make a movie based on what a monster thinks romance looks like....
OH NO! his voice is worst than I imagined, I had to lower my volume 😣. In comparison, Patrick sounds more like an angel.
Jesus! Gerard's voice is great, don't be jealous.😆
