Can we appreciate the cinematography in this scene? The spinning paired with the phantom strangling the stage hand, and then after that first spin, the next shot is the head of the dancer. Each spin emphasizing the strangulation going on in the background. Makes it feel so much more tense than it would've been without those shots

[@pillypuppy666]

Another thing that makes it so good is the use of dramatic irony, which is when we (the viewers) know more than the characters do. In this case, we know that the Phantom and the stage hand are both up there, one of them in BIG trouble, but the characters (apart from the Phantom and stage hand) are unaware. This keeps us waiting to find out, not what will happen, but when and how the characters will learn. Here's a link to a video about dramatic irony for those who want to know more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIupiqiObZmhZ7c

I love how the phantom has a very specific kill style and it's either choking or hanging which I love ❤

[@pillypuppy666]

And it's smart. If he used a gun, everyone would hear him and if he stabbed them, he might get some blood on his glove or sleeve, which would give him away if he were caught. Strangling someone does neither. Although stabbing or shooting are faster, giving him more time to escape.

THANK you!

[@TayoEXE]

@@opticalraven1935 Don't get me wrong, I do feel sorry for Erik and feel that his life has been tragic in a lot of ways, but yeah, going as far as to kill a man, dangle his dying body in front of an entire crowd, manipulate and kidnap a young woman, etc. is not excused. I used to feel he was almost innovent when I was younger, so that mindset is what I'm responding too now that I have a clearer head as an adult.

[@AnnaMarianne]

I interpret this story completely differently now that I'm older than I did as a teenager. I still feel bad for Erik, but he's a danger to everyone around him. He needs to be in a psychiatric ward, not in a(n abusive) relationship. Enabling his destructive, obsessive, manipulative behaviour isn't helping him.

[@TayoEXE]

@@AnnaMarianne Yeah, same here. I was Phantom for halloween once as a teenager. Haha I felt misunderstood back then, so I sympathized with him. Still do, but I'm just more grounded in reality as well as an adult and realize a lot of things I didn't as a teenager.

[@Willy2000ization]

It almost sounded like they censored an obsecenity lol

[@pillypuppy666]

If I were the Phantom, I would take the opportunity to find the stage hand as fast as possible. Since everyone is focused on Carlotta's voice cracking and her croak and the audience's laughter would drown out any minor noise, footsteps would be less likely to be heard and the probability of being caught would be less.

[@awanna-bechristine9324]

Any musicians out there to appreciate the whispers of "What measure?" at 1:45? LOL so accurate Edit: Also, Carlotta may be a diva but she knows her music. "Tutti, Da Capo" she says, and I _believe_ she adds "for the second time" (I'm guessing that's what that means?) Funny thing is... as a musician I can say with confidence that that is exactly where they're starting again - at the tutti, the second time through, headed for the coda to this particular song.

[@katievetter933]

She says “oh mi scusi tutti. Maestro da capo, per favore” which means “oh excuse me (all). Maestro from the beginning please.” but she’s not just saying that because she’s a singer, she’s Italian, that’s her native language

...... You know what? Schumacher ACTUALLY translated this scene to the film medium rather well. He gave us a possible explanation for Carlotta losing her voice, implying that the Phantom messed with her stuff. He showed that actually shifting the performance to a ballet scene that occurs later on is a backstage nightmare while providing some genuinely funny scenes with the mastero, people scrambling to get ready and making fools of themselves and showing that the managers are rather incompetent. Meanwhile, we get the buildup with Piangi's death as he investigates, sees that its the Phantom and panics. And then Christine getting ready and noticing the rose left in her dressing room, realizing that the Phantom orchestrated the entire thing, justifying her panic to grab Raul and get themselves to safety. From humorous and terrifying in a film adaptation im not fond of... ...God, it almost hurts to contemplate looking at this movie again with older eyes...

Y does the phantom of the opera have to kill the guy？i dont remember

[@Innercircle0124]

because the phantom didn't want to be discovered.

[@Sam-xd9xt]

I think because he was too curious and made fun of him.

[@777nami]

The Phantom killed him because the dude was talking smack about Phantom.

[@josieboyd5356]

He knew too much

[@EntertainmentFan11]

Knew too much, as the Chaney version put it.

[@Evelynyippee4030]

The noose dude looks like he’s dancing too lol

[@davidrule385]

Conductor: Get behind the stage or 1:53.

[@RileysSmokenBBQ]

He's a real swinger

[@lanitana100]

Sooooo not one person thought to look up after he got dropped? 😂

[@pillypuppy666]

They were too scared to look up. All they could look at was the dead body, it was so frightening.

[@RappinPicard]

Uh... ladies and gentlemen please remain in your seats, it was an ACCIDENT, simply an accident.

[@olenaolena9073]

The episode on 3:15 is a gentle reminder why Christine didn’t choose phantom and was absolutely right

[@ingridmay66]

Yeah, her actions are caused by his actions and he basically dug his grave doing that.... But I know phantom is a nice person, a very nice one....

[@kassieritter8871]

this terrified me

[@char4571]

Same I almost cried watching it the first time

[@befaany]

Umm.... I kinda chuckled the first time I watched this...

[@kassieritter8871]

@@befaany i dont even remember commenting this

[@HERO_DREAMER]

Did he know she'd make a toad comment that fit with the sabotage?

[@befaany]

Yeah because he said “perhaps you are the toad” or something and I think he was smiling the little prankster

[@dalian3010]

2:38 Erik: SURPRISE >:D Me: RUN BITCH! RUUUUUN!

[@Loaf_0f_Bread]

Sadly another stage tech lost due to curiosity

[@lucythecool_pug7565]

This is a great movie lol

[@vincentalvarado1009]

Toon Squad: 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 Phantom of the Opera: haha I put him to Heck.

[@dancena2]

Why did the phantom kill him again?

[@EntertainmentFan11]

He knew too much.

[@eviekidd6480]

Yh also the two owners didn’t obey his notes

[@andreavanhoof6047]

That is what I want to know; the stage hand may or may not have been a pleasant person but is that a reason to kill someone!

[@pillypuppy666]

The stage hand found out about the Phantom and was going to tell everyone about him. In an attempt to keep his mystique from shattering, he decided to silence the stage hand. Permanently.
