Undertale Trash I also heard that he wanted to design a Paris Opera House and wasn’t able to, so he made a deal with the architect of this opera house to build an underground lair.
Those are lifted from the original Phantom single that was released prior to the live show in 86. The song also features different lyrics amd has Steve Harley singing the Phantom's part.
Notice how Christine is not wearing any make-up when she first walks with the Phantom, but by the end of the song, she is wearing make-up, symbolic of her blossoming from a naive teenager into a woman under the Phantom's influence.
And this is how a real man makes a female feel like a woman - no matter how crazy he is. But every time she's with Raoul she transforms back into a shy little girl in the kindergarten. (This is pretty obvious in the novel as well.)
Because she is hypnotized. The phantom is taking advantage of her (spoiler alert and TW: the sequel LOVE NEVER DIES goes into more detail about this scene)
The only experience with music Gerard Butler had before making this film was singing in a rock band while he was studying to be a lawyer. He actually took singing lessons just for this film and god damn it payed off.
+Sariah Bowman (Ice) I think he's incredibly handsome and I actually really like his voice. I certainly wouldn't mind him singing to me! He got a lot of hate because his voice is not what people who have seen the stage show are accustomed to hearing, but I think it works very well for the character.
Phantom: ok ok I've got it! Every time we come down here we are going to sing this song!" Christine: what's the song?!" Phantom:" ...my wicked cool theme song..."
Christine: "You want to sing a song that is literally all about how awesome you are and nothing else, *and* you want me to lead into it?" Phantom: "I don't see a problem."
Can we talk about how intense and goosebump inducing it was to see the phantom keep looking back at Christine, as he pulls her through the mirror and leads her down to his lair? It’s like he’s checking to see that she’s still following him, before turning to look our direction with the most satisfied and proud, “she is mine” looking smile/smirk. It’s so brilliantly directed and believable and makes my heart pound so fast that I get almost light headed 🥺😍 can’t stop watching this scene 🥰🥰🥰🎶👏🏻
@HermicraftAddict Finally someone who puts it into words in the right way! Agreed! Very few realizes that it's cinema, we're not in a theater even though it's a stage play adaptation.
I hate that so many people have hated on this rendition of phantom of the opera; honestly, I find this movie version to be the best of ALL the versions that have ever been made (and I'm including the musicals along with this); to me this showed far more of the humanity that was hidden within the "Phantom" and even made him more of a worthy protagonist than Christine and Raul; a stellar performance by Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum for sure (even though Rossum didn't do many movies/musicals, this was an awesome performance)
Sorry, I disagree. To have seen the glorious play a dozen times live in L. A. with Sarah Brighton & Michael Crawford was magical! It was such an immense part of the 'So Cal' feel that it's final show made headlines in The L. A. Times. Bravo, Sir Andrew!
I have only ever seen this version. However, I agree with you. Gerard Butler will always be The Phantom in my mind and Emmy Rossum will always be Christine Daae
Fun fact: the living hands holding the candelabras at 0:06 are an homage to Jean Cocteau’s 1946 film Beauty and the Beast. In the film, the hallways of the Beast’s castle are filled with these same living candelabras, moving to light the way for Belle. It’s a beautiful and haunting bit of production design. Obviously, the Phantom and the Beast share the same Parisian interior decorator.
And they both share struggles. Both of them have been rejected because of their appearance and they allowed it to seep into their soul. Both of them ended up seeming either wicked, or insane, when there is actually more underneath. The only difference is that on of them actually is a supernatural being (The Beast) and the other is merely confused for one (The Phantom).
In the _Phantom,_ Madame Giry tells Raoul that the Phantom is more than a musician; he sings, plays, composes, is an architect and master craftsman. That man designed and built all of that himself, canon. That sure explains where the 20K francs a month salary went; materials ordered and shipped in for him to work with.
I think he took a few lessons, but not that many. But if you consider how vocally challenging the role he played was, that says something about how talented he is. I think he could have done a little better with his singing if he'd taken a few more lessons, but I can forgive that. I love Gerard as the phantom, and that's not going to change.
I think I know why. Some of an artists best work is based upon reality. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the songs specifically for Sarah Brightman, to fit her voice. They were married for a few years, and when you think about it, they were kind of like the Phantom and Christine in a very loose and general sense, I don’t mean Lloyd Webber was a madman living beneath an opera house. A musical genius, in love with a singer, his inspiration, his own angel of music. I think there's an incredible amount of real passion behind the songs, perhaps this one in particular.
Gerard Butler is and always will be my favorite Phantom. The raw emotion in his voice and the creepy acting... Perfect Phantom, if you ask me! 10/10!!!!
I know Gerard Butler always gets critisised for his role, but I don't think you can even think of him as playing the exact same role that Michael Crawford and Colm Wilkinson did in the original production. He is playing a different version of the role with a different tone that is a different take on the phantom. I think when looking at it that way, he does a good job.
I agree. Every person who plays the phantom brings something new. There are better trained singers who've played the role, but I haven't seen so much of an emotional range from an actor playing the phantom then I have with Gerard Butler. People Ramin Karimloo is the best because he's a trained actor and singer, and while Ramin he's my second favorite phantom, Gerard will always be the one who's versions of various phantom songs, particularly music of the night, that I listen to..
The weird thing is, I don't think any of them went for the original adaptation of the Phantom being a bitter homicidal maniac. That would have been so cool to see.
@@alexandrazisk7091 Same. There's a raw... depth you get from his Phantom/Erik that you just don't get so much with the others. The rest seem too worried about the technique and difficulty to really get into the emotion of it. Ramin (aside from Lon, obvi, given the medium at the time) is the only one who comes close for me. It takes a lot to connect with such a deeply troubled character.
Very much agreed. I have always preferred this deeper and darker performance. I feel his lower tone adds to the villainy of the character as well, bringing out a malevolence that the stage lacks in casting their higher tenors
I can barely hit it, it sounds so ridiculously strained and breathy but I'm up there, and I'm so happy about it! I want to sing this song so bad, and in a year I'll be singing it!,
I mean, when you think of it, Phantom took Christine on one hell of a date! He took her on a candlelit walk, on a horse back ride, on a gondola ride, too a musical, and then back to his candlelit house for some more wooing, all in one night! Oh, and he also proposed! That could have been left out perhaps, but still... step up your game, gents!
Say what you want about Gerry's and Emmy's voices individually, but when they sing together, they're AH-MAZING. I can't get over how well they harmonize in this bridge! You can hear both of them clearly, Gerry's older, deeper baritone voice and Emmy's higher, younger soprano voice, but at the same time they manage to create such a beautiful balance between the two, and it sounds incredible! They do it in "Wandering Child" and "Point of No Return" as well, but this is definitely where their harmonization is the strongest.
I admit I come here and rewatch this scene, this video (the Mirror is first, then this scene is second), many, many times. I love everything about this movie, especially this song. The first time I watched the moment their hands touched, I immediately knew I'd fall in love with this movie, and that's right, I still fall in love with this movie and this scene. I love their voices, I love their chemistry, and I also enjoy Christine and Raoul's scenes, not only Christine and the Phantom's scenes. I love everything in this version, and I admit this version still catches my heart. It's a beautiful movie for me, and I must thank you to everyone who worked hard to make it happen. Moreover, I still listen to their songs on Apple Music, and I feel like I'm awakened every time. This version is magical for me.
+Valeria Valles The horse bothers you but not the candelabras rising out of the water and spontaneously lighting in like 1800s - or earlier - France? I always assumed this was a warped sequence from Christine's POV since later in the film when they go down into the catacombs the 'arm torches' aren't really there, for starters.
In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again? For now I find The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me To glance behind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear It's me they hear Your/my spirit and your/my voice In one combined The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your/my mind He's there The Phantom of the Opera Beware The Phantom of the Opera In all your fantasies You always knew That man and mystery Were both in you And in this labyrinth Where night is blind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your/my mind Sing, my angel of music He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Good job, you even got the extra part. The only time I have heard it was in the sing a long that show the all (I think) the people who helped make it possible. (I have the movie on DVD)
I am not a die hard opera fan, but I think it was a wise decision to cast Gerard. Because too much opera would make the movie a little "awkward". Also I think it makes them beautiful opposites. Besides. It's a movie, not a stage opera.
Making movies based on broadway musicals can be somewhat difficult because movies tend to favor acting over singing instead of singing over acting. I think Butler did a great job, here; his role and this movie in general is exactly what a “musical-to-movie” production should be like.
@@Howlingburd19 I know they dubbed Minnie Driver and I think it would've been better if they dubbed him too. He acted it so well but his vocals really let him down.
Why did Christine have on black eyeshadow? When Erik picked her up she had none on. Did she bring her makeup with her on the boat or something? Like "oh shit okay I have to look good hold up lemme whip on some eyeshadow right quick!"
i'm sorry but this was literally the best from The Phantom of the Opera like seriously, Emmy's voice (AND THOSE HIGH NOTES, DAMN!!!), the rawness and absolute strength in Gerard's singing, AND THE MUSIC?? THANK YOU ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER FOR THIS SPECIFIC FILM I PRAISE YOU y'all can hate me for even liking this, considering it doesn't have too many positive reviews, but i personally absolutely love it and can we just take a moment and appreciate the electric guitar riffs? i loved those oml also, EXCUSE ME??? I never really paid attention to the plot of any of the movies, BUT I HAD NO IDEA THE PHANTOM'S NAME WAS ERIK????
I took literature in college and I found out that this Phantom of the opera was a true story that happen in a paris opera house in late 17th century during the french revolution. Wow imagaine a real PHANTOMMMM in the OPERAAA HEHEHEHEHHE now thts creepy but cooollll! the Phantommmm of the opera is thereeee inside my mindddddd!
I love the detail in that when he starts singing her costume and makeup gets more glamorous. Which is line with the director saying some of this sequence and it’s romance is in christines head. We all imagine were wearing smoky eye when our crush appears 😂
My one complaint at the moment is the fact that they cut out the last verse. You know the one: In all your fantasies, You always knew, That man and mystery, Were both in you I always loved that verse of the song, and it's a shame that they cut it out in the cinematic version.
The year was 2004 and I went to this movie as a teen. At first, it was like, this is weird but then this scene and the one after when Gerry was singing. I was in love. Years later I come back to this and love the music. Huge fan of Gerry, too, such underated talent and a funny guy. I saw one Broadway DVD and couldn't stomach it. Ends up I like movies not theater
I found out where the Phantom got the horse! In Think of Me there were horses onstage, he must of been like, Ooh! Free horses, one more way to get Christine!
This is actually cannon lmao, in the book it states that they have 10 horses in the stables and one of them goes missing. Which is Caesar, the one Erik has.
This was always my favorite phantom and always will be. The style of Gerard’s singing is perfect for this role in my opinion. The tone and power of this voice makes a perfect eerie but sensual character, which is perfect to set the scene making Christine mesmerized by him and his strange beauty. I hate the stupid hat the phantom wears in the onstage musical I’m so glad they got rid of that here lol. And Emmy has the perfect naivety and beauty with a gorgeous voice. The set and costumes were magnificent as well.
I love this song for 1. the different musical instruments makes this so good 2. the singing is so good, Christine and Eric's voices are perfected (to me) by Emmy and Gerard 3. just by the things there, I love the allusions and the magic of this place, and the way the sewer looks and the boat is amazing. It is hard to choose between music of the night, phantom of the opera, and the deleted scene no one would listen, but all of those are amazing!
Truly ROCKING TUNES!! Gerry and Emmy, which also did the singing make this film a masterpiece 💗 the cinematography, wardrobe, set and supporting cast were phenomenal. Why didn't Gerard Butler or Emmy Rossum or even Minnie Driver nominated for Academy Awards🤔 ... just outrageous
Amazing.... its amazing.... u can tell the Phantoms side of saddness and lonelyness. In this song just leisten to the tones and the saddness in it. While in "All I Ask Of You" it is a more... hoping and knowing that there is hope and peace...
i love the point of no return. its very passionate but also classy. and at the end when she gives back her ring, his version of masquerade was so good and sad.
My fav live theater show of all times. I saw this live 3x in Toronto in early 90's..Believe it was 1992 and this song being performed live just gives you shivers like you wouldn't believe...THIS IS ART
It amazes me that he played the Phantom and did such an amazing roll (more of a romantic character). Then most of his rolls after that were more masculine, action type roles. If that makes sense to anyone.
Gerard butler is beyond awesome as both Leonidas and the phantom of the opera. To hell with that others say about this move. The movie was a masterpiece. I loved this move and the broadway show.
The horse in this scene is not in the musical but was a borrowed element from the book wherein Erik uses a horse named Cesar to transport Christine to the underground wharf where they would take a boat to the Phantom's lair.
Did anyone else notice that in the beginning of this song she's wearing no eyeshadow, but by the time they are walking toward the horse and in Music of the Night she has on thick black shadow? Watch both clips from the movie and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I wish there were more close up scenes. The scenery is fantastic but a close up of the Phantom while he says "sing for me" it would have been orgasmic 😆😆
Great song, great actors, great scene, great random horse in the midst of an underground dungeon Seriously why? It can't have been that long of a distance
I love this movie I saw this movie when I was 18 in theaters and I fell in love with it. A remind me when I saw the phantom of the Opera play when I was a teenager. Emmy was a perfect for this as Christine and Gerard Butler he is so handsome in it and was young in this too. But they both did a good job.
I've watched each and every other movie of the Phantom and this version is by far the best! There is so much passion and dedication in this movie it is absolutely the best!!!
People who criticise Butler or this version in general forget that the film is not just based on the musical, but the musical and film are based on a 19th century French novel. It's a literary adaptation with musical elements. You need character actors for that, not just prolific singers.
I really like the Phantom movie. I do think it's odd how some lyrics were changed and some verses of songs were left out, but overall it's a pretty faithful adaptation of the amazing musical.
I also love this movie and the 3 main characters of the Phantom of the Opera. They were perfect for this movie and I love their voices. I watch this movie all the time and I never get tired of watching over and over again. I think that it's such a great movie and this one is one of my many favorite movies that I love so much.
I watched this on Netflix last night and this morning and I can't get over how well it is done. I can't get the songs out of my head either! Who else cried a lot when you first saw this movie? Cause I did!
Love Gerard Butler as the phantom best. Wonder why the filmmakers cut out the extra verse at the end. Must say, I like the original better because of that extra verse.
I can't stop watching these clips. The music rips my heart out! I would so love it if You Tube would put this up for viewing but only with this version. They are the finest singers and actors and I've seen several. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
is no one going to talk about how good the beat is in the beginning?! recently my teacher has been showing my class the movie, (bc shes a nerd) and when I first heard the beat, I recognized it. And i remember thinking that the beat reminded me of some old fashioned scary mansion. And I have no idea where I heard it as a kid, because I had never watched Phantom of the Opera. But I just know I've heard it in my childhood from a scary movie or something. But I just can't get over the fact that the melody is sooooo good! I keep replaying it over and over again just bc it fits so perfectly with the scene and the place.
I agree, I grew up watching this and no matter how bad of a mood I was in listening to this movie always calmed me down and it still does to this day. I have no regrets watching this movie and hopefully no one tries to make a remake😂

He needs to come to my house and make my house look like a Manchan sorry if I spelt it wrong

ZarosianCabbage Not very much
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He only had two lessons before shooting began! No he doesn’t sound classical, but it’s amazing how much he was able to do in so little time.
Bill Angell i think that his voice was perfect for the character he was portraying. not very classical but very passionate. it’s perfect and beautiful
he also was picked by ALW right after his audition, before getting any lessons, but ALW loved what he brought to the part.
am I the only one that thinks Gerrard Butler is beyond handsome?
agree

+Sariah Bowman (Ice) I think he's incredibly handsome and I actually really like his voice. I certainly wouldn't mind him singing to me! He got a lot of hate because his voice is not what people who have seen the stage show are accustomed to hearing, but I think it works very well for the character.

Can we just take a moment to recognize that last note sung by Christine? I have not seen this in the comments, and it needs to be said.
Uh! YEAH! I have a few friends that can sing that high! And one of them played Christine in the Phantom of the Opera Musical at her school!!! XD
I can barely hit it, it sounds so ridiculously strained and breathy but I'm up there, and I'm so happy about it! I want to sing this song so bad, and in a year I'll be singing it!,

Grace I checked on my violin and it's a high B. It must be craaazy for singers.
With head voice I can 👌

He took her on a candlelit walk, on a horse back ride, on a gondola ride, too a musical, and then back to his candlelit house for some more wooing, all in one night!
Oh, and he also proposed! That could have been left out perhaps, but still... step up your game, gents!

basically in conclusion the phantom is an incredibly handsome time lord-who loves Christine-and animals
2:28 i don't think he suppose to be this handsome
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
Your/my spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
He's there
The Phantom of the Opera
Beware
The Phantom of the Opera
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
Sing, my angel of music
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera

Thanks!!!😊
Good job, you even got the extra part. The only time I have heard it was in the sing a long that show the all (I think) the people who helped make it possible. (I have the movie on DVD)
I am not a die hard opera fan, but I think it was a wise decision to cast Gerard. Because too much opera would make the movie a little "awkward". Also I think it makes them beautiful opposites. Besides. It's a movie, not a stage opera.
yep
the cast was great, too bad there are direction and script problems.
Tho Gerard sang some parts of the movie a bit harsh, i liked him in general
Well, but I said you doesn’t are a opera singer, I imagine from Gerald Butler is difícult tried to sing opera with just a few months.
You don’t make sense and this isn’t an opera, it’s a movie abt a phantom that lives in an opera building but it’s not opera. Opera is an Italian art
Making movies based on broadway musicals can be somewhat difficult because movies tend to favor acting over singing instead of singing over acting. I think Butler did a great job, here; his role and this movie in general is exactly what a “musical-to-movie” production should be like.
@@Howlingburd19 I know they dubbed Minnie Driver and I think it would've been better if they dubbed him too. He acted it so well but his vocals really let him down.
Why did Christine have on black eyeshadow? When Erik picked her up she had none on. Did she bring her makeup with her on the boat or something? Like "oh shit okay I have to look good hold up lemme whip on some eyeshadow right quick!"
Cece R LMAOO I read in movie facts that it's symbolism
it’s like symbolizing how mature she gets im pretty sure idk
Cece R Ok I know it's supposed to be cinematic comparison, but honestly *ME*
I would lmaooo
He’s a magician.
"Sing, my angel of music."
"Sing, my angel."
"Sing for me!"
"Sing, my angel!"
"Sing for me!"
WTF doing you think she's doing, buddy?!
😂😂
Gosh the way I howled hahahahahaha
I love emmy she's such a talented actress and singer
All that beauty and talent in one person.
She was only 17 in this role
i'm sorry but this was literally the best from The Phantom of the Opera
like seriously, Emmy's voice (AND THOSE HIGH NOTES, DAMN!!!), the rawness and absolute strength in Gerard's singing, AND THE MUSIC?? THANK YOU ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER FOR THIS SPECIFIC FILM I PRAISE YOU
y'all can hate me for even liking this, considering it doesn't have too many positive reviews, but i personally absolutely love it
and can we just take a moment and appreciate the electric guitar riffs? i loved those oml
also, EXCUSE ME??? I never really paid attention to the plot of any of the movies, BUT I HAD NO IDEA THE PHANTOM'S NAME WAS ERIK????
If you like the movie, you should read the book! Your library probably has it!
@@dopeynhappy i hadn't read it at the time of my original comment but i have now!!! it's incredible lmao
I do love this version. It's both beautiful and haunting.
I think the cinematography in this movie is really overlooked. All of the sets and shots are brilliant!
I took literature in college and I found out that this Phantom of the opera was a true story that happen in a paris opera house in late 17th century during the french revolution. Wow imagaine a real PHANTOMMMM in the OPERAAA HEHEHEHEHHE now thts creepy but cooollll! the Phantommmm of the opera is thereeee inside my mindddddd!
So what's the phantom's original story?
+Nelle Biremandie you can find the most accurate widely available record of Erik's story in The Phantom of The Opera by Gaston Leroux
The only thing is I don’t think if he crashed a party the big music would go off DUNNNNNNNNNNNN DUH DUN DUNNA NA!
The French Revolution was in late 18th century
Dude read the book. It's absolutely fantastic.
I don't care what anyone says but I love that they cast Gerard as the Phantom. He's perfect for the role
Your profile picture is interesting, who drew it?
I love the detail in that when he starts singing her costume and makeup gets more glamorous. Which is line with the director saying some of this sequence and it’s romance is in christines head. We all imagine were wearing smoky eye when our crush appears 😂
My one complaint at the moment is the fact that they cut out the last verse. You know the one:
In all your fantasies,
You always knew,
That man and mystery,
Were both in you
I always loved that verse of the song, and it's a shame that they cut it out in the cinematic version.
I love everything abt this song
Who doesn’t?!?! 😍❤
The year was 2004 and I went to this movie as a teen. At first, it was like, this is weird but then this scene and the one after when Gerry was singing. I was in love. Years later I come back to this and love the music. Huge fan of Gerry, too, such underated talent and a funny guy.
I saw one Broadway DVD and couldn't stomach it. Ends up I like movies not theater
I found out where the Phantom got the horse! In Think of Me there were horses onstage, he must of been like, Ooh! Free horses, one more way to get Christine!
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS
...But I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. Erik is just THAT extra.
This is actually cannon lmao, in the book it states that they have 10 horses in the stables and one of them goes missing. Which is Caesar, the one Erik has.
Since i saw the movie i have been absest with it ( i am 11) and now i diskober all the things that happend in the movie and this i didnt diskober
Gerrard Butler is so hot and handsome i love him
This was always my favorite phantom and always will be. The style of Gerard’s singing is perfect for this role in my opinion. The tone and power of this voice makes a perfect eerie but sensual character, which is perfect to set the scene making Christine mesmerized by him and his strange beauty. I hate the stupid hat the phantom wears in the onstage musical I’m so glad they got rid of that here lol. And Emmy has the perfect naivety and beauty with a gorgeous voice. The set and costumes were magnificent as well.
I love how he keeps looking back at her.
EDIT: Not to mention how great they sound together.
I love this song for 1. the different musical instruments makes this so good 2. the singing is so good, Christine and Eric's voices are perfected (to me) by Emmy and Gerard 3. just by the things there, I love the allusions and the magic of this place, and the way the sewer looks and the boat is amazing. It is hard to choose between music of the night, phantom of the opera, and the deleted scene no one would listen, but all of those are amazing!
Manliest phantom I have heard in all incarnations.
Truly ROCKING TUNES!! Gerry and Emmy, which also did the singing make this film a masterpiece 💗 the cinematography, wardrobe, set and supporting cast were phenomenal. Why didn't Gerard Butler or Emmy Rossum or even Minnie Driver nominated for Academy Awards🤔 ... just outrageous
And that's what a 16-octave voice sounds like. Emmy Rossum just nailed the part.
Bro why this is so perfect
Screw glee, this is real Vocal Adrenaline.
Hell yeah it is.
This is THE ORIGINAL Vocal Adrenaline 😂
My sister would be so pissed if she saw this comment 😂
怪人の不気味で包み込むような歌声も、クリスティーヌの透き通った美しい歌声も大好き！手を取った瞬間に音楽が鳴り出す演出も！
でも世間では駄作だとか言われているし、好む人も少ないみたいで悲しいです😢
映画のDVDを買った日から毎日見続けていて、それを見た家族が興味を持って一緒に観ましたが、「たちの悪いストーカーの話だ。なにがそんなにいいの？」と言ってからかわれてしまいました😢
でもここのコメント欄に仲間がたくさんいて嬉しいです🥰🥰
Amazing.... its amazing.... u can tell the Phantoms side of saddness and lonelyness. In this song just leisten to the tones and the saddness in it. While in "All I Ask Of You" it is a more... hoping and knowing that there is hope and peace...
i love the point of no return. its very passionate but also classy. and at the end when she gives back her ring, his version of masquerade was so good and sad.
I love when he helps her get off the horse .I hate when people make fun of it and hate it
My fav live theater show of all times. I saw this live 3x in Toronto in early 90's..Believe it was 1992 and this song being performed live just gives you shivers like you wouldn't believe...THIS IS ART
These actors both have added charm to their voices.
It amazes me that he played the Phantom and did such an amazing roll (more of a romantic character). Then most of his rolls after that were more masculine, action type roles.
If that makes sense to anyone.
Gerard butler is beyond awesome as both Leonidas and the phantom of the opera. To hell with that others say about this move. The movie was a masterpiece. I loved this move and the broadway show.
Agree 💯
The Phantom looks totally dope with the mask, suit, and cape. 👍💪
The horse in this scene is not in the musical but was a borrowed element from the book wherein Erik uses a horse named Cesar to transport Christine to the underground wharf where they would take a boat to the Phantom's lair.
Did anyone else notice that in the beginning of this song she's wearing no eyeshadow, but by the time they are walking toward the horse and in Music of the Night she has on thick black shadow? Watch both clips from the movie and you'll see what I'm talking about.
When Erik waves the torch in front of Christine's face you can see that it changed...so I guess it's magic😂
I like its like a representation of her joining like the dark sidr
*side
+Emii64 Erik? hahahah
That is his name.
I wish there were more close up scenes. The scenery is fantastic but a close up of the Phantom while he says "sing for me" it would have been orgasmic 😆😆
This is my favorite version of The Phantom of The Opera
I absolutely adore this movie and I think the phantom is so handsome
Absolutely magnificent movie Gerald butler's voice amazing he was a great phantom
Great song, great actors, great scene, great random horse in the midst of an underground dungeon
Seriously why? It can't have been that long of a distance
A horse is there to be cool. And his name is Cesar!
The horse is a reference to the original novel
I love this movie I saw this movie when I was 18 in theaters and I fell in love with it. A remind me when I saw the phantom of the Opera play when I was a teenager. Emmy was a perfect for this as Christine and Gerard Butler he is so handsome in it and was young in this too. But they both did a good job.
It is amazing, this movie is far off from my usual choice of movies, yet it one of my favorites. Not to mention the song is fantastic
Amanda Martin mine as well
I've watched each and every other movie of the Phantom and this version is by far the best! There is so much passion and dedication in this movie it is absolutely the best!!!
I’ve watched phantom 32 times and often play the CD .. I’ll never get sick of this movie .. or glaring at Gerard Butler !! 💖
I have the CD too and yes Gerard is gorgeous in this movie 😍
I think of this scene often lol! Forever obsessed!
Emmy has fingernail goals man. I cry every time ;-;
The best musical I've ever seen. Gerard and Emmy are unbelievable❤️🔥
I am such a BIG FAN of the phantom of the opera
When she does her angel voice at the end, t's just ugh 😩🤌

BAYUM DEFINITION OF SMEXY
+Estefany Bosques I LEGIT THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
Celeste M xD
Yup this is definitely my interpretation of smexy ;p
yus
Estefany B. Z. Sorry, what is "smexy"?
Many other men are great but they are often higher and the deeper growl of Butler keeps him my favorite!
People who criticise Butler or this version in general forget that the film is not just based on the musical, but the musical and film are based on a 19th century French novel. It's a literary adaptation with musical elements. You need character actors for that, not just prolific singers.
I like his voice. Butler is really cool in this movie.
2:24 Loved how the voices sounded louder here in this version of this great song...
I really like the Phantom movie. I do think it's odd how some lyrics were changed and some verses of songs were left out, but overall it's a pretty faithful adaptation of the amazing musical.
We watched this for our Theater Thursday activity in choir class. This song has such an eerie and dramatic vibe and I love it!
The way she just stares at him while he holds her hand is enchanting
I also love this movie and the 3 main characters of the Phantom of the Opera. They were perfect for this movie and I love their voices. I watch this movie all the time and I never get tired of watching over and over again. I think that it's such a great movie and this one is one of my many favorite movies that I love so much.
Well said and I love it too!
I watched this on Netflix last night and this morning and I can't get over how well it is done. I can't get the songs out of my head either!
Who else cried a lot when you first saw this movie? Cause I did!
Is the magic of the phantom
Man I grew up watching and listening to this. I remember going to a live concert and being so stunned I couldn’t talk, my mom said I cried a bit
Love Gerard Butler as the phantom best. Wonder why the filmmakers cut out the extra verse at the end. Must say, I like the original better because of that extra verse.
IndyGirl89 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught that. That last verse ties the song so well together
Nossa
Um link for the final verse or the lyric?
SportyPeach9891 omg yes u just realized that they didn’t sing in all ur fantasies u a,wuss knew that that man and mystery were both in u
The Phantom will forever be my original distraction.
i just found out there are people that actually hate on the movie ?! like what ? i think the movie was amazing
I can't stop watching these clips. The music rips my heart out! I would so love it if You Tube would put this up for viewing but only with this version. They are the finest singers and actors and I've seen several. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this version of phantom of the opera
An epic movie.oneof my favorites. Amazing story. Omg . Gerard butler is so handsome and a good singer as well.
People say Gerrard Butler's voice isn't good but bro its amazing and i think its better than the ones in the shows
i've watched this movie over and over again
I can’t get over this movie now that I’ve finally watched it 🤩
I can’t believe that this guy turns out to be the King in 300
This was an extraordinary film both Emmy and Gerard were perfect!
this song is so beautiful
Everyone talking about how beautiful the song and the scenery.
Me: How the heck did he get a horse in the catacombs?
is no one going to talk about how good the beat is in the beginning?! recently my teacher has been showing my class the movie, (bc shes a nerd) and when I first heard the beat, I recognized it. And i remember thinking that the beat reminded me of some old fashioned scary mansion. And I have no idea where I heard it as a kid, because I had never watched Phantom of the Opera. But I just know I've heard it in my childhood from a scary movie or something. But I just can't get over the fact that the melody is sooooo good! I keep replaying it over and over again just bc it fits so perfectly with the scene and the place.
I love the organ for the phantom
I agree, I grew up watching this and no matter how bad of a mood I was in listening to this movie always calmed me down and it still does to this day. I have no regrets watching this movie and hopefully no one tries to make a remake😂
you could call dogs with that last high note
Lol 🤭😂
I wanna bet that in theaters when the music for this started, everybody was just clapping and just like *”YESSSS”*
I love her as Christie😍
Im gonna live in paris next to the opera im so excited to see the opera!!!!
