Erik is naturally sexy and sad (sympathetic) the same time, Gerard was perfect 😂😂 i can forgive the stupid deformity because of his acting, his voice and the rest of this magnificent movie. Definetely my favorite movie of all time, following by The Ring (2002).
I rewatched the movie recently and I have so many thoughts on it. He (the phantom) was so abused and heart broken that everything was so triggering to him. He went in his relationship with Christine expecting failure because of his face and he snapped everytime she got close to him but in reality his deformity was not really involved in the choice she had to make- to leave him and go with Raoul. In the end you realise that his internal deformity was what kept her with Raoul. She felt abused by the phantom. He only wanted a way to get close to her but he didn’t know how to handle the intimacy and this is really heart breaking. He became a murderer to protect himself from the world- he killed two people that he felt would eventually discover him. His relationship with Christine and the fear of losing the best thing that ever happened to him made him a murderer and eventually that aggressive nature made her abandon him . I fully believe that she was his soulmate and had he kept calm she would in fact end up with him instead of Raoul but Raoul was her safety and The phantom was just an idea she was infatuated with by the end.
I Watched this with my mom a week ago and she kept saying through out the movie that the phantom is abusive and its like shut up mom im seeing the good in it. lol.
Wow Only an empty hearted woman can say that. Sorry, not no talk bad about your mom. The phantom was fighting for his love, something a woman can't understand.
woah i cant belive yoiur mom said that Erik is not abusive he is a tragic suffering man who suffered badly in his childhood but he loves christine deeply! erik taught christine to sing damn it! Im a woman myself and I love this movie.
I always liked The Phantom of The Opera. But seeing it with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum oh my gosh. I Loved every minute of it and cry they were all amazing. So intriguing, mysterious, intense romance. I'll never be the same. 😌😔❤
Gerard is my phantom. No one else can replace him. NO ONE/ Phantom of the Opera is my entire LIFE. No joke, no exageration. PS, yes, he can TOTALLY work a cape. *drool*
His voice was perfect for the role...I don't know anything about music, but I know that I connected with the character through, not only his hot face, but his beautiful voice....filled with emotion. Tell you what, this man could eat crackers in my bed any day he wants, him singing to me would just be a bonus.
I have always loved the phantom no matter who is playing him but Gerry is my favorite out of all of them he gives the phantom 's character a sexy side that no one eles could have given him lol I love him soo hot -3
He made me cry tears of anger, such a good acting I was blinded. Usually I don't want to take sides on movies and make like deep analysis about them but it's specially hard not to be by The Phantom's side in this one. He was creepy but I don't think Christine was right in betraying him so harshly and rip out his mask in front of everyone and all... They could've talked about this... Maybe that's why it's so sad
Odd that they say he'd never been in a "major" film production since he played Dracula in Dracula 2000. Not necessarily major but still a main, iconic role And yes, the phantom NEEDS to be sexy in some ways. While the principle story is romantic beneath that is the dichtomy of human nature. Dark and light and how you choose between or balance on the dividing line. Phantom had to be darkly seductive and in being so, wouldn't have blamed Christine for any "bad" act or manner she might get into. Her choice is between seductive darkness and fantasy and the shiny new penny romance of her childhood. Personally, I'd have chosen Erik (Phantom) no matter appearence really. In wanting to "control" Christine, she'd have known much more freedom of exploration of herself and others with Erik, without societal judgement, instead of Raoul, a Nobleman who's every thought and action are mostly dictated by others and their opinions/expectations
Strange thing I picked up on. Very early 2000s news that even though they talk about his talents, they keep coming back to how handsome he is. Its that subtle objectification of celebrities that we sometimes miss
I bet the director was like, SCREW IT JUST MAKE IT SEXY TOO And yet he's still complaining that it's too sad for that. lol I would of done that also if I was him.
Kitty Flare I can't believe I didn't know that! But seriously that makes the second movie even sadder!! (Like seriously I hate that movie, because of that part. Like they could have ended that so many cooler ways!)
D: I reeaally didn't know that it was him....I mean SRSLY, I got CD and DVD and I never bothered 'bout the actors nd stuff...O_O That just made him one of my favourite actors xD
Indeed. I wish Gerry had directed this film. And I hate it when people bitch about Gerry as the Phantom when he clearly understood the character, and it was just the director who kept him from giving his everything to the role. xP
PhantomSammy Yeah. He didn't do anything wrong, and one of these comments said that the Joel wanted him to be shirtless in the final lair, but he refused. He clearly understood that the Phantom wasn't supposed to be drop dead gorgeous and walking around without a shirt. So props to him for preserving Erik as best as he could.
"Make it sexy!"
"But it's so sad!"
"I know it's sad but make it sexy."
"BUT ITS SO SAD"😂😂😂 I love him so much oh my goodness.
me too :)
1:16 😂😍
🤣🤣🤣
"In 7 or 8 years acting, I've learned how to, you know, flip my cape..."
And flip it he did!
Nobody flips a cape like the Phantom.
Honestly I've always thought the Phantom was super attractive. He's so mysterious and passionate. I wish there was a guy like that in real life😭
LPSwolfygurl Just remove the murder kidnap parts and he'd be absolutley perfect
@@altf1279😂
"Make it sexy!" "But it's so sad!" "I know it's sad, but make it sexy!" "But it's sooo sadd!"
I just want to hug him.
😂😂 yesss
He will always be my favorite Phantom.
SAMEEE
Frisk The Human :D
Juliette Aurora Yup I mean he has the best voice
An Peter Hofmann kommt er nicht ran. -He can not get to Peter Hofmann for singing.
@@ubierin4797 He will always be THE Phantom of the Opera, in my opinion! And, he'll always be my Phantom of the Opera!
His voice is hot, his accent is hot, and so is he the perfect guy
Nyayien
It's not only his looks
He has the most adorable sense of humour as well
If only I was twice my own age.
It's him. HE is hot xD
@@Exceltiaawesome, why?!!
HES MINE
Gerard doesn't need to "make" it sexy he just is naturally.
That man can sing to me any day.
Elaine Fickenscher
I want to be taken on a boat ride to his dark lair as he serenades me with his hypnotic music of the night...
@@Exceltiaawesome same
That scene on the rooftop, omg, it let me cry for 10 min...
Erik is naturally sexy and sad (sympathetic) the same time, Gerard was perfect 😂😂 i can forgive the stupid deformity because of his acting, his voice and the rest of this magnificent movie. Definetely my favorite movie of all time, following by The Ring (2002).
❤Gerry you were great in The Phantom voice was amazing and you flipped our cape

Madness? THIS IS OPERA!!!!!!

aaaw thank you you are so nice for saying that! but really i just like making references because this actually is opera
Love the guy's pause at the end when he says, "The Phantom of the Opera is in theatres... today." Like he's upset about it.
He's missing the premiere cos he's stuck in the studio.
@@Exceltiaawesome, what?!😮
Vintage E! woow!

He has made Erik definitely sexy! I love Gerry as the Phantom!
"But it's so sad...!" How adorable is THAT?!

A sexy phantom of the opera is like an oxymoron
He got this he is ultra handsome. Humble clever and intriguing
Phantom of the opera is in my top 3 favorite movies i love this movie so Much
His voice was perfect for the role...I don't know anything about music, but I know that I connected with the character through, not only his hot face, but his beautiful voice....filled with emotion.

"I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer" rofl

Agree

You can *not* hear his accent during the movie at all
Who cares about his accent!
Yes you can. "Now let it war upon you both!" but he says it like "Now let it be wahh upon you booth."
Actually, you can. But that's what makes him sexy LOL
well sexy is what he sure damn gave us.
He made me cry tears of anger, such a good acting I was blinded.

His eyes look amazing here
