Phantom of the Opera: a movie that captured me

"Dark Opera”
“Dark Music”
“Everything's Dark”
“I have this Dark Feeling”
“I can feel it”
“It conquers me”
“It wants me”
“I want to be part of it”
“I want to be part of that Darkness"


These are the feelings I felt when the first music was played during a film showing in the Audio Visual Room on the 26th of November. I'm a little bit late that time; I forgot the reason, that's why I missed some of the first part of the movie. Then I asked Mam Eliz, "Miss what is the title of that movie?" She respond, "The Phantom of the Opera."


An elusive music was playing in the screen. I feel stunned. It devours me in the Dark Room. It's eating me alive from every beat, every tone, every note, everything.

It was a great movie, I feel like I want to be part of it. All performers are wonderful, especially their voice. The film ate me alive. I wish I can play a wicked role just like the Phantom of the Opera.


I love the concept of the story. It's about person name Erik who owns a theatre. He is known as the "Phantom of the Opera" and is not seen by his workers. He hides his ugly face under a mask and hides somewhere in the stage. He only sends letters to them to say his messages. Whenever they displeased him, he pranks on them by doing some malevolent act. He fell in love to one of the performers the soprano Christine, but she loves someone else, her childhood friend, Raoul. Witnessing the horrors in the theatre, she tried to escape with Raoul. The Phantom of the Opera learned about their escape plan. Furiously angry to what he found out, he kidnapped her forcing her to marry him by a threat to kill her boyfriend. In order to save Raoul's life she agreed to marry Erik. Sadly, Erik allowed them to escape and was given a kiss by her. She leaves with Raoul with a feeling of sorrow. Erik just left like a bubble.



My favorite lines from the Phantom of the Opera are:
“You can fool someone you’ve known before.”
“There are worst things than a shattered chandelier.”
“I won’t forget him in this darkness.”
“He kills without a thought.”
“Why past can’t just die?”

I haven't fall in love before but I can feel the man's pain about sacrificing his happiness just for her to be happy. You know what they say:


I also believe that love shouldn't be based on appearance. But honestly speaking, you can't avoid either adoring or hating someone without facial features as a factor. Some say, "First impression never dies."

I agree somehow, I mean love at first sight? And the reason why is because the person is nice?........how exactly did you find them nice at the first place without any interaction with them? The answer is you fell in love not because they are nice, but because they look good. Going back to the topic, once again I'll say that the story is good, I love the music so much and it's very dark. But beware because the Ghost can be everywhere and can be anyone.
