I simply don’t understand why his magnificent acting doesn’t reach them. His acting is perfect. He conveys his pain fully yet subtly. It is perfect screen acting, not the projection of the stage. Projecting would be overwrought for the cinema.
In my opinion, he's the best phantom I've seen! I feel what he's feeling... The way you could feel his pain in his eyes - I just love him. I would've always picked the Phantom and brought the light into his dark life... He's also the most handsome Phantom I've ever seen.
@@robinkershen1054 I agree with you! I saw TPOTO on Broadway in 2018 and it did not affect me the way the movie did in 2005! I know the reason is Gerard Butler’s acting. In fact, I bought the movie on Blu Ray because I was disappointed in the stage production’s Phantom. He did not touch my heart, but Butler’s Phantom and his pain really did. His eyes in this movie! So much pain, disappointment, anger and love conveyed through his eyes.
@gaylesyboo He was so great in the movie. I saw the play on Broadway and it didn't move me at all. If I was Christine, I would've run away with the Phantom and never looked back. He just needed love. I know I'm overlooking the murders, but hey, what can I say! Lol When I hear that song at the end that Christine and Raul sang, I imagine it's Gerard Butler.❤❤❤❤❤
Him being given the ring back and hearing the distant echo of Christine's singing as she exits the cave and a tear rolls down his cheek is one of the most powerfully cinematic moments I have ever seen. It's in that moment that he realises that she is in fact the true Phantom of the Opera - in that he will never be able to hold her again or hear her sing another sheet of his music. The most vital piece of his music and life is truly gone and he is condemned to spend the rest of his life contending with that heartbreak. Such a powerful moment.
@@marypoppinamolly197 I’ve been watching this movie since 2008 and I’m STILL looking for comfort fics to soothe the pain in my soul after every rewatch 😭 Poor Eric deserved so much better
@@thomascarroll5750 Yes, he is condemned to a life without her and her singing his music is truly tragic. And then with the film’s framing device, we find out he has outlived her despite being older.
I've never heard Gerard speak outside of the movie, so I spent the first fifteen seconds of this video having a complete spaz attack from hearing that gorgeous accent.
Gerard Butler is gorgeous and his role in Phantom of the Opera was amazing. I was blown away by it, and I am relate so much to his emotional and mental pain. Beautifully played.
I’m telling this story here because I have nowhere else to put it: I have been in love with this version of Phantom of the Opera since it came out in 2004, it bred my passion for music, and I even credit the movie for why I started singing. Almost 3 years ago, I had a run in with Gerard Butler and, for some reason, I FORGOT that he was the phantom… I blame the fact I hadn’t watched the movie in a very long time. To this day I regret not going up to him and telling him how much the movie and his performance impacted me, I hope we’ll somehow randomly meet again and I can properly geek out. I have a feeling not many people bring up this movie to him since he’s gone on to do many other films. So here’s to hoping I can thank him properly in the future!
If it's important to you to let him know the impact this movie has made on your life with you starting to sing there are still ways to reach out: social media or writing a letter (the old fashioned way). No way to know if he'll read it but at least you know that you have done your part. I read a short story with an old woman who was too afraid to live and reach out to people, whether it was writing that fan-letter to her favourite artist or inviting her helper to a cup of coffee, that it stayed with me and your story reminds me of it. I don't know how accurate it is, and I honestly mean no offence, but it's always a good idea to let people know the positive impact they've done in our lives :)
I'm assuming those are lighting effects to enhance the "tortured genius" vs "deformed sadist" tropes. It's pretty interesting, how the lighting can affect the storyline.
I notice that as well, it varies from scene to scene. Like one big telltale...with the half mask you can’t see anything. With the black full mask you can’t see anything either...but isn’t the disfigurement that whole half of his face? Ah well.
Alina Alcántara the phantom may use a type of foundation to cover it up.. he’s super insecure about it so I wouldn’t put it past him 🤷🏼♀️ either way it’s still my favorite musical 😌
I think (totally might be wrong, don't quote me) that the first time Christine takes off his mask, something falls off the part where his ear and his hair are on the scarred side of his face. Like he had made a prosthetic to cover it up, and when she took the mask off, it came off too. I just watched the movie, and I THINK that's what I saw lololol.
I see a mirror between Gerard Butler as the Phantom and Tom Hiddleston as Loki - both of their performances changed these characters forever. In a sense they re-wrote both parts by making them so sympathetic. Now it's hard to see either as the true bad guy depicted by the original story.
(Correct me if I'm wrong) I know that the POTO was meant to be scary or horrifying. BUT! I love the fact that the phantom was devilishly handsome and beautiful in a sense. I loved that part of the movie.
Elise Darkshade I also haven't read the books, but from what I heard. It seemed to me that the way they, (made the movie different from the rest),...romanticized and made the Phantom beautiful in this movie it was just a unique sweet and touching feeling you know.
+Elise Darkshade Well... in a way it's kind of fucked up that the modern world is so obsessed with physical beauty that we can't let a character who's _meant_ to be ugly actually _be_ ugly.
I personally hate it because you have to love him for who he is inside he is a repulsive monster but you learn to love him for who he is inside That's why I love Phantom of the Opera
J D I disagree. The point of his character is to show how cruel humans can be to each other. They were brutal to him. Violence is all he knows because that’s all he ever saw. But when Madame Giry saves him, he saw kindness for the first time. He learned love by how she treated him. Then it is only natural that he would be curious and when he met Christine, she flipped his whole world around. He saw that there were people (her) that weren’t cruel and violent. People willing to look past looks and see the person on the inside. I don’t think his face is what made him appealing in this movie. At least, not to me. I was more inspired at how his inside was. How he still had emotions other than hatred after all he’s been through. I thing Gerard was the perfect Phantom because he showed raw emotions like I haven’t seen in acting before. He is a really good actor. I think that no matter what a person does or says, sometimes even just the littlest bit of love or care towards them can change them. Even murdering psychopaths have souls and emotions. Even if they are just hidden beneath hundreds of thousands of layers of lies, deception and trickery. Murder. Betrayal. Oftentimes the people who act the ugliest have seen the ugliest things happen. He was raised in torment, and so that’s all he knew. But Christine showed him another way. Just my opinion. 🤷♀️
He's such a beautiful man and it's so adorable when he spouts with his phantom make-up :3 his accent can melt women as if they're butter, that's how handsome and talented and Scottish he is
I swear, all those makeup artists & costume designers, directors, light & sound workers... they derisive WAY much more credit than due. However, being behind the scenes, it's easier to be distracted by the main characters ON the STAGE. And boy, do they all do a magnificent job! So legendary to say the least!!!
@@laryb.5136 No they don't, that is why they have a thing called end credits, so Joel Schumacher wasn't in the movie so he didn't get any recognition lol You make no sense!
@@mikekaraoke that was not the type of recognition we are talking about, me mean they are not presented publicly like actors, actors get famous but not the other people working in the movie behind cameras. Like, no one knows about them. It's nice when they make videos about the process and present the rest of the workers and their work too
Wise words. Leroux wrote, " He asked only to be 'someone,' like everybody else. But he was too ugly." So yeah, Gerard Butler did fully get the phantom's nature...! :O
Gerry IS the Phantom. He became the part and created the most believable Phantom of all time, just like he does all of his characters. He is the most talented actor of our time. He can do any character and make them real people. Love him absolutely, Sandy
By far my most favorite musical. I loved your performance Mr Butler. I felt pins and needles. The emotions that lied within me were so intense. BRAVO!!!!
Gerard Butler is able to look awesome with these kind of masks as well ... However, the Phantom, in the movie, not in the book where he's totally psychopathic, is always better then Roul. I'm sorry but it's the truth u.u
Grace Tempest Yes, Grace I agree with you. That's why Lon Chaney's Phantom will remain the truest to the character. But, I can watch Gerry's Phantom over and over and never get tired of him. You find something different each time. And, Gerry is the only "manly man" that I can honestly say is also simply "beautiful." :D
Grace Tempest I agree. I would choose Eric over Raul any day. Eric is like, “we’re both lonely, so let’s be together and it will be alright okay honey let’s go runaway from these judging weirdos who think they’re perfect” but Raul... Uhg. “Forget these wide eyed fears, I’m here. No one can harm you-” was one of his lines. He doesn’t try to comfort her, only boost his ‘man-card’. He protects her, yeah, but he’s also really possessive. And jealous. Which Eric is too, but Eric has no one. So it’s understandable that he would be afraid of losing her. Sorry, I think I just ranted a little bit. I’m definitely team Eric 😂😂😂
He is so adorable. Honestly the face thing doesn’t really bother me like if you ran at me screaming or scared me coming around a corner yeah I’d scream but I would do that with anyone. I love him in this part, too.
The amount of comment here saying they're cool with him being a serial killer cause he's hot is honestly more concerning than any crime the phantom's ever done. Y'all are somehow thirstier than Erik
so talented.. personally i like HIM better as the phantom than any other phantom. his voice completely fills in and completes the songs.. i dont know.. thats just me.. but i've seen other phantoms who do great too :)
(newer fan here) but omg i did not know it was Gerard butler playing the phantom.. like whaaat he was brilliant and amazing i am in shock. he's more talented than i ever knew!!
When I saw Phatom of the Opera in theatres I was 7. It really was something to experience. And it has a secure place in my heart. In my country Gerard is voiced by a young man, singing far too high. "My" phantom had a deep and calming voice, the best I've ever heard. It was fitting. The phantom wasn't pretty. He wasn't young. He was a little older, the mask hid more of his face, including bigger parts of his hair. And his charme and stuff came purely through his voice. That was the phantom I grew up with. I could relate to Christine and why she was falling for him without seeing him, and even after. It was not his looks. It was his passion and voice. Gerard is a handsome man. Far too handsome. But Hollywood works that way I guess. Theatre is different. But well... Other opera singers also sing too high now playing the phantom. There is nothing scary or intimidating in a voice of a disney prince. You gotta have the voice of a man who went through hell.
There have been plenty of good looking to very good looking men that have played Phantom over the years on stage. So that doesn't make any sense! What are some of the other musicals you have seen on stage?
You know whats funny? I was watching The Phantom Of The Opera when I came across this. I was also on the exact scene when Christine pulled the mask of Gerard! Ain't that funnny?!?!?!?!?!
"An eternity of THIS before your eyes!!"
Me: Where do I sign up?
lol same, hey ARMY!
@Storm Master Oh, I agree! I love you, Gerard Butler! You will always be my Phantom of the Opera!😍. Hugs and Kisses from Christine Daae!
Things could always be worse. That half isn't as bad as it could be
I volunteer as tribute
yes, now that I am lonely
Oh god.. That scene at the end when she gives him his ring... You can feel the utter pain in his eyes, such a wonderful piece
And yet people have the nerve to say he’s a horrible actor in this 💀
I simply don’t understand why his magnificent acting doesn’t reach them. His acting is perfect. He conveys his pain fully yet subtly. It is perfect screen acting, not the projection of the stage. Projecting would be overwrought for the cinema.

In the movie his hair went from black to brown
I guess you could say that his makeup routine was.....*puts mask on* stranger than you dreamt it

I met him in person and he was soo nice to give me his autograph
lucky you!
i will buy it for anything you want

i love his performance and when i watch the part where he picks up the rose🌹 Christine dropped and then starts crying it makes me cry😢 every time
I think Gerard Butler was an absolutely handsome Phantom of the Opera! I love his version so much!
I cried so much cuz I felt his loneliness and being unwanted. Also he’s mighty HOT
A cry almost every time I read the book or see the DVD of the musical. The story has that effect on me.

The Phantom form the Book and the Black-and-White were rather psychotic.
Even in this movie, he's a sociopathic, psychopathic serial killer. A sympathetic killer, but still a killer.
Of course, but in this movie he has his reasons to do what he does ... in the book he has them as well, but he's more cruel.
Grace Tempest Yes, Grace I agree with you. That's why Lon Chaney's Phantom will remain the truest to the character. But, I can watch Gerry's Phantom over and over and never get tired of him. You find something different each time. And, Gerry is the only "manly man" that I can honestly say is also simply "beautiful." :D

He is so adorable. Honestly the face thing doesn’t really bother me like if you ran at me screaming or scared me coming around a corner yeah I’d scream but I would do that with anyone. I love him in this part, too.
I just saw this movie and I can't believe Erik was Gerard Butler 😅 great performance 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼
To anyone who has read Phantom by Susan Kay I would like to see that made into a movie. OMG that would be special.
I would love to only watch this movie until time ends. Truly beautiful and always 100% of the time makes me cry and remember.
Love always, Phantom

His little frown at 1:40🥹 Gerard can steal me away whenever he wants😭

when he started to pout at 140 i wanted to hug him so badly. He looks so cute there!
that little pouty face he made was the cutest thing ever lol

I could relate to Christine and why she was falling for him without seeing him, and even after. It was not his looks. It was his passion and voice. Gerard is a handsome man. Far too handsome. But Hollywood works that way I guess. Theatre is different. But well... Other opera singers also sing too high now playing the phantom. There is nothing scary or intimidating in a voice of a disney prince. You gotta have the voice of a man who went through hell.
There have been plenty of good looking to very good looking men that have played Phantom over the years on stage. So that doesn't make any sense!
What are some of the other musicals you have seen on stage?
You know whats funny? I was watching The Phantom Of The Opera when I came across this. I was also on the exact scene when Christine pulled the mask of Gerard! Ain't that funnny?!?!?!?!?!
Kat TheCrafter why were you watching videos and a movie at the same time?
I still can't believe it's him... he looks so different!
Omg when he frowns at 1:38, so adorable...
Gerald Butler was great playing the Phantom and he's great at drama

Gerry you slayed that role! Oh wait…you would have slayed anyway. My point is, you slay Gerry!
