And the great legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Created phantom of the Opera because of Sarah brightman. and also because of her tremendous singing voice. Not to sound like a broken record. but it is Sarah brightman that inspired him to create. The phantom of the Opera
@@susanchaoulpenhos8693 it's not karma, it's just the phantom being posessive and vindictive Christine wasn't Eric's lover, she chose Raoul. Eric had been manipulating her and indulging in his fantasies
Omg the way Gerard sings, "Lead me, save me from my solitude" RIPS MY HEART OUT this is the reason Gerard is my favorite Phantom, he makes his character so real and emotional and AAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭
Winters Children I completely agree Emmy and Gerard’s chemistry was so realistic and natural for them it’s a shame Andrew didn’t recast them for Love Never Dies and they’d make a great couple in real life ♡
The Living Mochi I know right!! That’s a major age difference. Also, I believe she started filming this movie at only 16, filmed the majority at 17 and was 18 after the movie was finished.
When Christine sings "When will the blood begin to race?" That part gets me everytime. I love how her vibrato sped up singing that line. Love the musical and the film adaption.
Seriously! Especially since the last time she removed his mask, he shoved her to the ground and started screaming at her. Girl, did you not learn from the first time
This is why the play and film are awful adaptations. Christine would NEVER have upset or embarrassed Erik in such a way. It’s just unnecessary and cruel, and her actual character has such a deep sympathy for him.
1:27 - 1:31 in this part imo, Raoul realizes how connected Erik and Christine to each other. That no matter what he’ll do, there’s always a part of Christine that only Erik can complete it. He may be the “safe” choice since Erik’s a repulsive and obssessed man, but she will always belong to him and him to her. That’s why he’s like tearing up. I mean why would you even tear up seeing your girl like that? Jealousy? Nah! Dude realizing the deep connection😂
You can aee the change in the phantom go from confident and sedictive when he sings his part, to vulnerable and uncertain when she sings her part. I still believe that Christine's heart has always truly belonged to the phantom, but she knows that she can only live a life in the shadows with him, unlike a life in the light with Raoul.
Well, it's a matter of perspective: while Erik's brilliant genius lights up the darkest of caves, Raoul's dumb mind covers the fanciest chateau with pitch darkness... (Btw the Opera house has a nice roof terrace for sunbathing...)
This scene is so sad, it really shows that most of his hold over has to do with lust, the second he tried to be gentle, sincere and loving she looks like she broke out of a trance. I really do think though if Raoul didn't exist she would have fallen for Phantom.
+McKenna West They both loved each other. She loved the Phantom on level way above Raoul but Raoul offered her safety which is why in the end the Phantom let her go because he knew he couldn't protect her. That's why the ending is just so sad because they have to depart.
+McKenna West The Phantom loves Christine and is trying to "woo her" with this song. It is clear that she loves him too, but is frightened by his murderous actions. He'll do anything to win her affections and is jealous of her relationship with Raoul. The part where you said she "breaks out of her trance", is Christine realising that the Phantom has overheard her and Raoul on the rooftop, because he is using the same song that they sang to each other (All I Ask of You).
Right before she took his mask off, you can see she's very conflicted. She needs to reveal his face so the police and others know its him, but she is also clearly in love with in almost in spite of herself and doesn't want to hurt him or see him get hurt. You can even see the guilt on her face and in her eyes after she takes it off and for a split second, even the phantom's expression says, "Fair enough," after the initial shock and before the rage kicks in. The acting here is beyond amazing.
Thank you for this comment. I feel embarrassed to admit I didn’t understand why Christine unmasked him during this scene, because I felt it was so obvious that people knew that the actor was the Phantom. But it’s true, somehow the entire opera house had no idea and she needed to reveal his identity. The look of sorrow and pity in her eyes is beautifully sad.
Especially moments like 1:37, 1:46, 2:23 and 2:32 where you can see the makeup he used to cover up the deformity surrounding his mask, along with the lining of the wig at 1:46.
By far my favorite scene of the movie. The Point of No Return is surely about Erik's frustrated fantasies (there's nothing wrong about it, it's totally ok lol), but the part when he sings "All I Ask of You"... is so, but so beautiful and lovable. He's surrendered, weak and fragile, showing his deepest feelings and dreams for Christine. It's easy to notice how much real his love was, it's not a petty childish "feeling" that Raoul sang. Erik's "All I Ask Of You" is truly romantic and lovable. The song was about sex and everything, but Erik's confession was the purest form of love and courage. He has weakness as any other human has, but still, Erik was very strong facing his traumas and his love deception. And of course Christine helped him to be stronger and a better person, despiting the bad things he did (with good intentions). I. LOVE. THIS. STORY. The musical is not that loyal to the novel (unsurprassing) but still got the moves.
It still amazes me how many people don't realise that The Phantom/ Erik wears a wig. If you watch the scene prior to PONR where he sings; "seal my fate tonight, i hate to have to cut the fun short..." you can see him adjust his wig and also all his spare wigs are on the table. The Phantom also wears a wig in the stage version....the main difference is that stage Phantom has very little hair....whereas Gerry's Phantom has more hair (though thinner on the disfigured side) and is blonde. I have always loved the movie's version of PONR. It's the only scene i think the movie does better than the stage version, mostly because i like that Christine knows it's him as soon as he starts singing, rather than him hiding under the black hood and cape. I also completely love Gerry's performance, especially here (Emmy's also)....he completely owns the role. There are some wonderful Phantoms, and he deserves his place among them. 🌹🖤
The best part of this is watching everyone that works in the opera house slowly realize it’s the Phantom. Also Raoul, not only realizing he’s the phantom but Christine is too close to him and she’s doomed.
This scene is so strong and sensual and then goes into soft and tender. The way Gerard corresses Emmys neck and shoulders with his gorgeous hands as he sings All I Ask Of You is so beautiful I wish i was Emmy in that moment his hands look so soft and gentle ❤
Tears down when the phantom start to sing all I ask of you, which makes me so heartbreaking, like he knew what would happen and he still wanted to try to get the impossible answer from Christine. His voice is so attractive and I like the phantom so much that there was a period I didn't like Christine......
Emma Petersen I disagree. First of all, I don’t think he intended to surprise her. He wrote this opera so that he could perform this scene with her, I doubt he’d want her to _not know it was him._ Also, he looks up at Raoul, too, somewhere before the beginning of this clip. He knows they’re there to kill him. And, honestly, I don’t think he really cares. He’s smiling and happy because it’s a show, and he has to be, but he drops that when he and Christine get close enough. You’re right that he’s desperate when he sings All I Ask of You, but wouldn’t that be because he knows it’s impossible? People aren’t generally desperate for something they know they have, they’re desperate for something they know they _don’t_ have. He’s desperate because he knows he’s lost her, and he’s begging her not to leave. He might not have known specifically that she was going to take his mask off, but he knew something was up (especially since they yell-sang about it in his opera house).
Okay, let's just talk about the half second expression change that happens with Roul when Phantom starts singing All I Ask of You. It's a moment of disgust and anger as he realizes that the phantom not only heard them, but was using it against her. The acting is so beautiful! Also, the moment Christine wake up from her trance the phantom puts her under is during that song as well. Just beautiful!❤
+zomberz von zombycow They did, but they were waiting for the right moment to catch him, and the audience is either so caught up in the very sexual music here or are just like, meh this is theater what do you expect.
Daniel Rodriguez so... they had cops...with guns.... and they waited. could have shot him dozens of times. but nah, lets wait for him to get right up into whisper sweet nothings range of christine, then wait some more.
+zomberz von zombycow Well, remember throughout the play, the two theater owners are always fretting about their public image. So, shooting a performer in the middle of a show would've brought bad publicity. That's why they waited and "made certain the doors are bared, made certain their men are there, made certain they're armed". Their original plan was to wait "until the curtain falls; his reign will end". They just weren't anticipating the Phantom taking an alternative exit. xD
Their vocals and chemistry in this scene are phenomenal, but the part where she rips his mask off is incredible frustrating because she puts the poor man on the spot. And at 2:27 that little moment they have together where she smiles as he serenades her is so raw and beautiful it perfectly shows their love ♡. If Raoul weren’t in the picture I believe Christine would’ve chosen the phantom in a heartbeat.
they would've !! the director and ALW even said so themselves. they made it a romance and love triangle on purpose and they wanted to make her decision to the viewers as confusing as people so you truly don't know who she will choose in the end. Unfortunately, because he's so scared of losing her since shes the only person whos ever loved him and seen the kindness in him despite his face, he goes to disgusting measures to keep her with him and make Raoul lose their competition of winning her love, and because of that, there's no way she can stay with him :( his murderous tendencies scare her no matter how much she loves him and cares for him.
One of my favorite parts is when the chandelier falls, all the transitions and the chains breaking and the music is awesome, I think it was all put together amazingly
Right! Just made me feel even more bad for him. All I could think was "it's not even that bad what's the problem" Honestly if I was christine I probably would have chosen him
I never noticed until now that before she pulls his mask off you can literally SEE the LACE from his wig a few inches back on his hair and she pulls the mask and lace wig off together
My schools asb wants to do a "Beauty and the Beast" prom theme and have the chandelier from that movie at the rally. I think it'd be 90x better if as soon as everyone sat down for the "beauty and the beast" rally, we turn off the lights, the chandelier comes crashing down on the floor, and the MC emerges dressed as the phantom
Gerard at 2:19 might be my favorite version of that section of the song of every Phantom I've heard, there's just something about the raw power and emotion in his voice like he's asking with every ounce of his being, kills me every time
2:20 ppl might not like Gerard but cmon that’s some shivering stuff bro he’s putting his emotions out in front of those ppl with his voice that’s some guts “anywhere you go too” absolutely perfect he made the sadness in his voice really come out passionately total props love this scene
God, I love this scene. So much passion and tension. Also, even though many Phans like to point fun at Raoul for crying in this scene (and trust me, I hated his character when I was younger), you can't deny that you would be crying your eyes out too if the woman you truly loved was being sung the song that you were sure that was only meant for the two of you.
Also Christine in the movie seems more willing to go with the Phantom since the movie makes him a bit more sympathetic but in the musical you can tell she's afraid of him especially performing this song with him.
I think this PONR, Christine showed her true feelings. What she really fears with no fear not thinking of comfort and such but when he sang All I Ask of You she remembered Raoul and remembered the things Erik and all the fear went back and she instantly thinks of comfort and safety.
They did a non-replica in Bulgaria in which Cristine didn't remove his mask : it was Raoul who ran on stage and removed his mask. Cristine grabbed the Phantom's hand and ran with him! It was while they were running when she saw the body of the murdered singer and started to pull away from him.
The Phantom has been hypnotizing her with his singing through the whole movie and at this scene she’s hypnotizing him. Also, if Madam Giry has seen his face before why did she freak out? Was his face not as scary when he was a boy? She acts like she knows who he is with a white mask but in any other she has no clue. I liked that with this movie he’s not wearing a hooded cloak unlike the opera. Both are timeless though. You can never get tired of them if your a true Phantom of the Opera fan.
The most beautiful rendition and plot of all Phantom of the Opera plays is this movie. Especially this part of the Point of No Return sequence wherein everything is so perfect and very touching..... I love it so much. The best ever.....!
I love this song so much... it makes me cry. There's all this sexy stuff that was in the opera and written that way, but through the whole section, you can kind of see in the Phantom's eyes that he's not positive that she means what she's singing. Then everything stops and he breaks off; it's as if he didn't mean to propose to her there, but he couldn't help himself. And Christine hears the change and snaps out of the trance she's in... 2:20 you can hear the raw emotion in his voice, the years of tortured loneliness, the pleading for someone to understand him and love him and value him despite his face... Look, his hands are shaking as he holds hers... Sing it to me, Phantom. My answer would have been different.
Past the point of no return No going back now Our passion-play has now at last begun Past all thought of right or wrong One final question How long should we two wait before we’re one? When will the blood begin to race The sleeping bud burst into bloom When will the flames at last consume us Both: Past the point of no return The final threshold The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn We’ve passed the point of no return Phantom: Say you’ll share with me, one love, one lifetime Lead me, save me from my solitude Say you want me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go let, me go too Christine, that’s all I ask of...
Progression of the Raoul (Continued): 0:45 NO WAIT SHE’S MINE 1:29 *crying* she’s miiine. Or maybe I’m seeing the human side of the man I’m about to kill? Nah, I’m crying because _she’s miiiine_ 1:43 Welp. 2:07 He stole my song! 2:41 RUNAWAYRUNAWAYRUNAWAY 3:06 _whatwasthat_ 3:15 Human shield
The irony is that he would never be a monster if they didnt treated him like a monster. Because of his extreme high Iq and universial genius he coulded be one of the greatest in the high society
Maybe it was just Christine's play and a plan, but I really think that she loved him. Of course, she was afraid of him, she really loved Raoul, but she felt compassion. Here she looks on him with a pain in her eyes. She wanted to help him, but this story ends too tragically.
The worst part is (2:35) she was SMILING. I’ve spent 7 years trying to figure out if it was “I’m sorry for what I’m about to do,” or “You deserve this.”
I am pretty sure ALW had the sequel in mind when making this, which could explain why she acts differently to the Broadway version. No fear, can clearly see it is Erik; she doesn't fight back at all and even looks to be removing his mask gently.
Gerard passionately practice singing for months and he got it! While me here practiced singing for like an enternity still sound like a screeching cat🤣🤣
Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime Lead me, save me from my solitude Say you want me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go, let me go, too Christine, that's all I ask of this is the most touching and honest love confession I’ve ever seen and Christine totally ruined it
@@EntertainmentFan11 Plus this takes place in the late 1800's, and upperclass people never really saw anyone with disabilities or disfigurements except in the circus, so it was probably a shock for them.
IKR! When she removed his mask I was like "WTF is this all?" Like I look uglier than he does with that "bad" scar. Wouldn't stop me from dating him even for a second.
She loved the phantom just as he loved her enough to set her free. Beautiful. And gerard butler made the perfect phantom. His part of his mouth that droops a bit drives me wild lol
My thoughts. Raoul didn’t even recognize her until she was singing on stage, didn’t serenade her until she started singing about how Erik sang to her and forced her to do something she didn’t want to do to trap the phantom. I think that she would have been better with Erik, because they have more chemistry and more passion. I think the reason why more people are team Phantom is because everyone (including his mother) shunned and hated him, but when Christene came along she was the only one who liked him despite his appearance she was his light. He only wanted someone to be there with him and like him to ‘save him from his solitude’. And when he feels something will take that light from him naturally he would do anything to protect it, even if that means violence, which he learned as a child. :/ Also is think the reason why she took the mask off was either because she couldn’t love him hiding who he was, or, to show him that no matter how anyone else will react she will love him for who he is. What do you think?
There was a whole plan that Christine was forced to do by everyone in the Opera. She was ordered to do the musical, and at the end they would arrest the Phantom because he would show up eventually. Christine ripped off the mask to let them know it was him. She realized it was him and not Piangi when he first touched her, and she got out of her trance when he sang "All I ask" because she realized he was on the roof and saw that. Raoul represents safety, and she suddenly remembered she was engaged and had a duty, so she did it even though she didn't want to.
Spartan YT. I agree with you, and good explanation. When I try to explain stuff like this to my family or friends it is harder for me to explain. So thanks :)
Zanillani During her performance she looked up at Raoul. (Previous vid) I think that was the signal that it was the phantom, because Raoul signaled the guards to prepare after they made eye contact . So I don’t think taking the mask off was to tell them, but Idk I could be wrong.
Let's talk about their views on each other. They're great. How the Phantom looks at Christine and how she lookes at him. That's one of the most hot and sad scenes in one time.
2:13 Major Dejavu moment, lol. Christine's mind: This would be a great time to find out what's underneath the mask. Five seconds later OH MY GOD IS THAT HIS FACE!?!

Can we just appreciate the fact that he wrote a whole opera just to hold her for a minute
Well that's depressing to think about
Now that's something I do appreciate.
You are so right about that
And the great legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Created phantom of the Opera because of Sarah brightman. and also because of her tremendous singing voice. Not to sound like a broken record. but it is Sarah brightman that inspired him to create. The phantom of the Opera

Everyone else: reacts to the disfigured phantom being exposed with gasps.
Orchestra: continuing playing with emphasis and change up of music
Now Raoul knows how Erik felt when he started singing all I ask of you with Christine
OMG I JUST REALIZED THATS WHY MADE DON JUAN TRIUMPHANT TO GET BACK AT RAOUL
Karma, just karma
I still say that Erik should have won the swordfight. The Phantom stopped being intimidating when he lost.
Roulette knows,he WAS THERE THAT TIME
@@susanchaoulpenhos8693 it's not karma, it's just the phantom being posessive and vindictive

I know! I loved the way Erik sang it better than the way Raoul sang it. To me, it is just so memorable.
That's heart-breaking. You can hear the emotion in the Phantom's voice when he starts singing "All I Ask Of You" :(
Revealing his face to the whole theater was so cruel.

Their vocals and chemistry in this scene are phenomenal, but the part where she rips his mask off is incredible frustrating because she puts the poor man on the spot. And at 2:27 that little moment they have together where she smiles as he serenades her is so raw and beautiful it perfectly shows their love ♡. If Raoul weren’t in the picture I believe Christine would’ve chosen the phantom in a heartbeat.
they would've !! the director and ALW even said so themselves. they made it a romance and love triangle on purpose and they wanted to make her decision to the viewers as confusing as people so you truly don't know who she will choose in the end. Unfortunately, because he's so scared of losing her since shes the only person whos ever loved him and seen the kindness in him despite his face, he goes to disgusting measures to keep her with him and make Raoul lose their competition of winning her love, and because of that, there's no way she can stay with him :( his murderous tendencies scare her no matter how much she loves him and cares for him.
One of my favorite parts is when the chandelier falls, all the transitions and the chains breaking and the music is awesome, I think it was all put together amazingly
his face, in this movie, wasn't even that bad and everyone is like AHH!
In real life, the makeup looks okay, but in the story, the character's face is supposed to look frightening, 'cause the people are afraid of him.
Yeah, the stage make-up and the 1925 one are way better. But still, the 2004s movie was excellent and Butler portrayed Erik perfectly
Right! Just made me feel even more bad for him. All I could think was "it's not even that bad what's the problem"
Honestly if I was christine I probably would have chosen him
I never noticed until now that before she pulls his mask off you can literally SEE the LACE from his wig a few inches back on his hair and she pulls the mask and lace wig off together
That cape thing he did was smooth af 😩😂
My schools asb wants to do a "Beauty and the Beast" prom theme and have the chandelier from that movie at the rally. I think it'd be 90x better if as soon as everyone sat down for the "beauty and the beast" rally, we turn off the lights, the chandelier comes crashing down on the floor, and the MC emerges dressed as the phantom
Kaylie Cole Unfortunately it’s a little too late 😂 I graduated in 2019
She is back in his musical hypnotizing trance. And it happened every time he spoke or talked in song.
Emmy Rossum's acting is so incredible in this, the way she portrays the power the Phantom has over Christine.
Gerard at 2:19 might be my favorite version of that section of the song of every Phantom I've heard, there's just something about the raw power and emotion in his voice like he's asking with every ounce of his being, kills me every time
favorite scene
Same
+Catarina Prata this and down once more, are my favorite songs outta this movie
+Melissa Marcoe same
+Acristea 2000 same here too
김도경 same i agree
The most passionate, intense and suspenseful scene of all times...
2:20 ppl might not like Gerard but cmon that’s some shivering stuff bro he’s putting his emotions out in front of those ppl with his voice that’s some guts “anywhere you go too” absolutely perfect he made the sadness in his voice really come out passionately total props love this scene
God, I love this scene. So much passion and tension.
Also, even though many Phans like to point fun at Raoul for crying in this scene (and trust me, I hated his character when I was younger), you can't deny that you would be crying your eyes out too if the woman you truly loved was being sung the song that you were sure that was only meant for the two of you.
Also Christine in the movie seems more willing to go with the Phantom since the movie makes him a bit more sympathetic but in the musical you can tell she's afraid of him especially performing this song with him.
Gerard singing all i ask of you here is like a lullaby 💗💖❤️💗
I think this PONR, Christine showed her true feelings. What she really fears with no fear not thinking of comfort and such but when he sang All I Ask of You she remembered Raoul and remembered the things Erik and all the fear went back and she instantly thinks of comfort and safety.
What would of happened if Christine didn't pull off the mask
They would smoosh right in front of her boo and the entire high society of Paris
They would finish the opera
Titan Slasher Raoul would be crying.
They did a non-replica in Bulgaria in which Cristine didn't remove his mask : it was Raoul who ran on stage and removed his mask. Cristine grabbed the Phantom's hand and ran with him! It was while they were running when she saw the body of the murdered singer and started to pull away from him.
Nevena Ganeva wooaah that’s cool
The Phantom has been hypnotizing her with his singing through the whole movie and at this scene she’s hypnotizing him. Also, if Madam Giry has seen his face before why did she freak out? Was his face not as scary when he was a boy? She acts like she knows who he is with a white mask but in any other she has no clue. I liked that with this movie he’s not wearing a hooded cloak unlike the opera. Both are timeless though. You can never get tired of them if your a true Phantom of the Opera fan.
3:05 idk why but I really like that part. They're just flying down through the stage and I like that part
@Ash Cole actually, if you look closely, it looks like the skirt she's wearing is attached between and around her legs
I love that too
The most beautiful rendition and plot of all Phantom of the Opera plays is this movie. Especially this part of the Point of No Return sequence wherein everything is so perfect and very touching..... I love it so much. The best ever.....!
idk if I'm in love with Gerad B. or Gerad as Erik
I'm in love with both.... LOL
Robert Englund doesn't get your vote?
Antonella Cascarano
I think I’m in love with you!
I would love to see Gerald Butler play the Phantom on Broadway he would be great!
Can we all talk about how Gerard whips off his cape and struts 0:53 😮💨
If only she had just kissed him then rather than ripping off the mask. :(
The sexiest scene! i love this too much! All the emotions.. PERFECTION!!!
Raoul looks like he’s gonna cry at 1:29 aND I CAN’T BREATHE
idk why it’s even that funny though
Because I dont like Raoul and I wanna see him cry because if he didnt become the Patron Erik and Christine wouldve been together
I love this song so much... it makes me cry. There's all this sexy stuff that was in the opera and written that way, but through the whole section, you can kind of see in the Phantom's eyes that he's not positive that she means what she's singing. Then everything stops and he breaks off; it's as if he didn't mean to propose to her there, but he couldn't help himself. And Christine hears the change and snaps out of the trance she's in... 2:20 you can hear the raw emotion in his voice, the years of tortured loneliness, the pleading for someone to understand him and love him and value him despite his face... Look, his hands are shaking as he holds hers... Sing it to me, Phantom. My answer would have been different.
Heart Breaking 😞😩😢💔💔💔
I love how the phantom sings with such passion. Those final lyrics really touched my heart
2:21 KILLS ME EVERY FRICKING TIME
I never realised how sexual this song was as a kid...
SAME
Same 👁👄👁 Sexual, but beautiful.
I sing opera and I was singing this at like 6 years old lol
@@ashleyschmidt4117 omg💀
@@ashleyschmidt4117 same lol
Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now at last begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we’re one?
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom
When will the flames at last consume us
Both:
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn
We’ve passed the point of no return
Phantom:
Say you’ll share with me, one love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
Say you want me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go let, me go too
Christine, that’s all I ask of...
Christine: * pulls the phantoms mask off in front of the theatre *
The phantom to almost everyone there: ah so you have chosen *death*
Progression of the Raoul (Continued):
0:45 NO WAIT SHE’S MINE
1:29 *crying* she’s miiine. Or maybe I’m seeing the human side of the man I’m about to kill? Nah, I’m crying because _she’s miiiine_
1:43 Welp.
2:07 He stole my song!
2:41 RUNAWAYRUNAWAYRUNAWAY
3:06 _whatwasthat_
3:15 Human shield
The irony is that he would never be a monster if they didnt treated him like a monster. Because of his extreme high Iq and universial genius he coulded be one of the greatest in the high society
Raul is like “I really gotta up my game when we get married...how am I going to beat that?!”
Is it normal that I like more this version of the song that the one in the actual play?
Maybe it was just Christine's play and a plan, but I really think that she loved him. Of course, she was afraid of him, she really loved Raoul, but she felt compassion. Here she looks on him with a pain in her eyes. She wanted to help him, but this story ends too tragically.
The worst part is (2:35) she was SMILING. I’ve spent 7 years trying to figure out if it was “I’m sorry for what I’m about to do,” or “You deserve this.”
I am pretty sure ALW had the sequel in mind when making this, which could explain why she acts differently to the Broadway version. No fear, can clearly see it is Erik; she doesn't fight back at all and even looks to be removing his mask gently.
You can tell he's happy, being with her and all of that stuff
The way she sings “ consume us” give me chills 0:47
Seriously now are we gonna ignore the fact that they build the whole set for the production... remarkable 0:07 rip Joel
so sad... so beautiful....
Oh after so many years it still gives me goose bumps and tears. Love it 🥺
The getaway that the Phantom did was a bit better than the musical.
Gerard passionately practice singing for months and he got it!
While me here practiced singing for like an enternity still sound like a screeching cat🤣🤣
No he had three lessons and that’s it he didn’t have a lot of time to practice
Phantom: Hey Im Mr. StealYoGirl
The Point of No Return sequence on stage
The moment when it becomes terrifying and sensual at the same time
I love the way she's looking at him like that.
00:48 I'm in love with Emmy
“Lead me, save me from my solitude.”
Goodbye..
When you realize how this song is actually very seductive.
Lol so true. Phantom was my favorite as a kid and I could sing every song word for word. As an adult I'm like "sheesh this movie is so sexy" lol.
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
Say you want me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go, too
Christine, that's all I ask of
this is the most touching and honest love confession I’ve ever seen and Christine totally ruined it
I love how he sings " I"
The audience saw betrayal when she takes off Phantom mask
The Phantom of the opera just turn into beauty and the Beast
Christine: "Oh my goodness! You have a mild facial deformity!"; something I'm sure Gaston Leroux never intended.
So true king
2:30 phantom looks like a mouse 😂🐭
Maddie And Julie omg yes lol 😂😅
Shut up
To me it looks like a really bad sunburn but that’s about it, idk why people would scream in horror of that....he looks fine to me...
His mind and voice is supposed to be hypnotic (like an angel), but his appearance is meant to be repulsive, hence their horrified screams.
@@EntertainmentFan11 Plus this takes place in the late 1800's, and upperclass people never really saw anyone with disabilities or disfigurements except in the circus, so it was probably a shock for them.
IKR! When she removed his mask I was like "WTF is this all?" Like I look uglier than he does with that "bad" scar. Wouldn't stop me from dating him even for a second.
The fact that Christine gave Erik the warm smile and the next second took the mask off... Cruel
Erik: NO! You revealed my pinkeye to the world DAMN YOU!
You lying Delilah, you little demon
She loved the phantom just as he loved her enough to set her free. Beautiful. And gerard butler made the perfect phantom. His part of his mouth that droops a bit drives me wild lol
My thoughts. Raoul didn’t even recognize her until she was singing on stage, didn’t serenade her until she started singing about how Erik sang to her and forced her to do something she didn’t want to do to trap the phantom. I think that she would have been better with Erik, because they have more chemistry and more passion. I think the reason why more people are team Phantom is because everyone (including his mother) shunned and hated him, but when Christene came along she was the only one who liked him despite his appearance she was his light. He only wanted someone to be there with him and like him to ‘save him from his solitude’. And when he feels something will take that light from him naturally he would do anything to protect it, even if that means violence, which he learned as a child. :/ Also is think the reason why she took the mask off was either because she couldn’t love him hiding who he was, or, to show him that no matter how anyone else will react she will love him for who he is. What do you think?
There was a whole plan that Christine was forced to do by everyone in the Opera. She was ordered to do the musical, and at the end they would arrest the Phantom because he would show up eventually. Christine ripped off the mask to let them know it was him. She realized it was him and not Piangi when he first touched her, and she got out of her trance when he sang "All I ask" because she realized he was on the roof and saw that. Raoul represents safety, and she suddenly remembered she was engaged and had a duty, so she did it even though she didn't want to.
Spartan YT.
I agree with you, and good explanation. When I try to explain stuff like this to my family or friends it is harder for me to explain. So thanks :)
Zanillani During her performance she looked up at Raoul. (Previous vid) I think that was the signal that it was the phantom, because Raoul signaled the guards to prepare after they made eye contact . So I don’t think taking the mask off was to tell them, but Idk I could be wrong.
POTOLLOM LOSWPAO3 Haha, it took me a while to type, because I had to figure out how to word it 😂 Glad you understood.
aaaaaAANNYWHERRE YOU GO LET ME GO TOO😭😭❤
erik: *takes his mask off and turns his head to show his non damaged side*
me: "goddamn, he still has it"
WAIT A SECOND
Right when Christine pulls off the mask, the ENTIRE opera hose reacts. Tf? How can they his face so suddenly from far away?
Let's talk about their views on each other. They're great.
How the Phantom looks at Christine and how she lookes at him. That's one of the most hot and sad scenes in one time.
Lead me, save me from my solitude! I'm crying! :')
2:13
Major Dejavu moment, lol.
Christine's mind: This would be a great time to find out what's underneath the mask.
Five seconds later
OH MY GOD IS THAT HIS FACE!?!
Raoul is nice looking but I choose the man in the mask please!!!! A real hunk even with those scars you can't hide his gorgeousness!!!
The way he throws his cloak! Serious business.
