The Phantom of the Opera 10/21 (1990 Kopit ver.)

[@lilanthia]

I love how he was so concerned about her. He looked at the audience like they were too cruel to her let alone him. Love Erik!

[@fionamorel]

Ohhh...I love how the guy at 6:20 is trying to comfort Christine, and pacify the audience. So sweet...you wouldn't expect it.

[@operafan14]

The whole time they're shouting "Bring down the curtain", the Phantom's like, "Bring down the chandelier!"

[@tsalsama]

I like how destroying of the chandelier makes sense in this movie. I perfectly understand why he did it, all the motivation and emotions behind it. That cannot be said about other versions and the original novel, where I always felt the reasons behind Erik's doing was little... flat and empty. More like: "Look how evil I am! Hahaha!" than: "I may be mad, but I do it for her. I'd do anything for her!"

[@daniellaswann7889]

In the book, the motivation was pretty clear. He made the chandelier fall to make the person who was replacing Madame Giry die, if I remember correctly. He didn't want her to leave because she delivered his notes. Having an anonymous person, to the people getting the letters, who isn't suspicious, because she works there, would be pretty solid motivation personally.

RAOUL: "Does he love you that much?" CHRISTINE: "He would commit murder for me." ~Phantom of the Opera , Gaston Leroux

[@monmothma3358]

Well, in the book, he was a known murderer and torturer, so... 😂

[@phangirl1986]

Quick thinking on Erik's part. This way the audience will remember the chandelier crash and not Christine's failure. Christine, can we please establish that CARLOTTA IS THE BAD GUY!

[@TheEvilViolin]

My favourite Phantoms: Charles, Gerard and Ramin... Absolutely amazing and they all play him in such different ways :)

[@ingridcalderon1994]

Me too. Like besties of dreams. 😍😍

[@AnnLiOz]

I always loved that part too, when he hums her to sleep I mean. Very romantic and thoughtful, to calm her... I like it when he says ''Youre with me now...'' Youre so right. Dont we all wish we ( phangirls) were with Erik...

[@rayna181]

Wow. I love Charles Dance's eyes. So...alluring. God, I love love love this movie alreadyy. He is such a good phantom and he doesnt beat up Christine!! How fascinating.

[@Scar2401]

7:07- Phillipe: Bring it down!! Erik: if you say so!! >:D

[@kitwells7453]

NO How dare you Carlotta How daaarrreeee you!

[@mederameier6304]

Ooh!! Erik's mad!!!!!

[@4thtroika]

So funny. After seeing this, I saw the actress that played Carlotta in a Cinderella movie called If The Shoe Fits. She played the Fairy Godmother character. So hateful in one movie, so charming in the other. She's good.

[@AnnLiOz]

I agree with you completely! Apart from this, I always think that Charles Dance has the most lovely eyes and expression in them, and his voice catches my heart (when he slips out of the slight american accent which is a bit annoying). We all want Erik to be happy. If Christine doesnt want him at least I can dream that I would.

[@LePhantome273]

Wow, that was one of the coolest chandelier crashes ever! And that's including ALW's 2004 movie crash.

[@kirrtaiteilija]

@phantomobsessed same here, all i can talk now(since I saw the Phantom of the Opera 25th aniversary concert at the movies) all can do is sing the songs again and think about the three phantoms I love Charles Dance, Gerard Butler and Ramin Karimloo. And my friends just don't get what they are missing, the experience what you get from the book, movies and the musical is LIFE CHANGING :D

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

I wonder, even if the Phantom had not crashed the chandelier on her, if there would have been an investigation about Carlotta poisoning her. I think if Erik wanted to justly get revenge, he could have exposed Carlotta for her treachery. Then she and her husband would have been publically humilated and that way Erik is guiltless of any crime and justice is served on the right people.

[@navidnamini1169]

I wonder what Erik’s face might have looked like

[@AnnLiOz]

We both think the same! I love that bit too. The way he holds the mirror and watches her dress...Ah! Very sweet! I like the fact that Erik's name is said in this version as well. We all love Erik, and want to hear his name spoken. Sorry, got to rush to work - bye!

[@xXxNyne]

so epic... intermission at the chandelier fall...

[@AnnLiOz]

When I get obsessed with something I really get obsessed! Its wonderful to talk with someone of a like mind, and this is the only place I can chat about all things Phantom.But this is a secondary obsession at moment, I'm working on something very important to me, out of admiration, respect and love. Thanks for the chats though. Erik will always be my heart.

[@PhantomInTraining]

GAH! I can't even stand this part! Each time I watch it, I just scrunch up in nervousness praying that it won't happen! (Even thought I've seen it multiple times, and know that it -can't- change)

[@40Pacino]

Bring down the curtain! Erik: Bitch please

[@AdriJB06]

I can't imagine how fun it would be to actually bring down the chandelier. Instead of being all dramatic, I would be like "See if you can throw your playbill at this bitches!"

[@Vampirebloodthirst]

I bet if the phantom knew Carlotta sabotage Christine's performance he would have killed her right then and there.

[@Magpie91]

how erik cares for her when she went through hell on stage by losing her voice

[@josephcook6442]

You can relate with Erik. You teach this girl to sing, only to have it sabotaged, BRING DOWN THE CHANDELIER

[@louie5647]

Second time watching this. I'm cringing at the part where Christine's voice gets messed up. Ahhhhhhggggg please no....

[@IrritatingAsp]

In the midst of this awesome chandelier crash, I started laughing when I saw that the 'wheel' (don't know what else to call it) that it was attatched to had a skull and crossbones on it.

[@JenandTonic95]

I've just remembered where this girl is from- Meet the Parents! Robert de Niro's daughter!!

[@GoldenxSunshine]

6:53 he said 'bring down the curtain', NOT the chandeleer!!

[@N3th3scurial]

Wow... that was a good chandelier crash...

[@AnnLiOz]

Thankyou very much - and keep up the obession!!! ;) ;);)

[@cowbells1000]

There are many similarities between Kristina Nilsson and Christine Daae in Gaston Leroux 's works Phantom of the Opera . It is said that Leroux-based nature of the opera singer, but there is no evidence. "Some experts agree that the character of Christine Daae in the novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux was based upon the real-life Swedish-born opera star, Christine Nilsson - also known as Kristina Nilsson.

[@TheEpitomeofDarkness]

Don't do it, Christine! Don't drink the Juju Juice! Damn, she did it!

[@RetroSmoo]

aw what not the ending i was expecting

[@kol43210]

mmmmmmm...erik is so wonderfull that he saves christine....:] i love him!

[@within17220]

I LOVE THIS FILM

[@wolfbunnycosplay]

SABAN WORKED ON THIS TOO?! Is there ANYTHING he hasn't worked on?!

[@TimeandMonotony]

Haha I thought that as soon as I saw his name in the credits!

[@GlompErik]

its from this great film called anger managment. Its hilarious!

[@TimeandMonotony]

That was a really good chandelier crash.

[@AnnLiOz]

@phantomobsessed Of course, and its true with all versions(Raoul\Phillipe). Phillipe could have any woman he wanted, he's handsome and rich. Erik's only chance of happiness and love is Christine, and he ''steals'' her from him. Why does he have to interfere always?Just ONCE I'd like to see Erik win his beloved and for him to be happy !(what is it about this story that really gets us going???)I love Charles Dance in this.

[@monmothma3358]

Um.. Christine isn't an object that can be "stolen", though. She has a free will and would need to be in love with the phantom, and I haven't seen any version yet where she is. Raoul is her childhood sweetheart.

[@dragoness260]

when Carlotta said "without this i dont think ill ever be able to talk"she ment "with this i dont think ill ever be able to talk" p.s its so obvious she is only pretending to drink

[@musicofthenightx90]

oh poor christine :(

[@queenofsingin99]

@MrsJosephMerrick Oh I know! Of course I believe you!! Did I make it sound as if I didn't? I'm sorry if i did! Yes, I do believe you!

[@queenofsingin99]

@MrsJosephMerrick Oh that is so sad. I'm so sorry that happened!

[@2010MzHood]

count me in too

[@AdriJB06]

I loath this Carlotta with a passion that burns like a 1000 suns.

[@TimeandMonotony]

Yeah this is definitely the most vile Carlotta. And the most sympathetic Erik! Interesting combination.

[@angelofmusic997]

Okay, I've always been confused about this: What would make Christine's voice do that in real life? Is that a fictional concoction or a real life voice-destroyer (for I have seen variations of it in a few Phantom films (like ALW's POTO in Il Muto))?

[@JeremiahsFiles]

Carlotta possibly doesn't wanna sing because of the Phantom, perhaps that's why she's drinking the poison.

[@operafan14]

I like the way you think.

[@LilianaCroush]

@Enabsflow1 THIS IS A GERARD BUTLER QOUTE!!

[@zSpirall]

@CrackersandCheesePro OMG your right he did say sorry... lol.. fun...

[@miep8675]

poor Christine :( that part makes me sooo unhappy.

[@ItsAMalkavianThing]

At 6:56 did he say ''sorry!' ......xD

[@kyozai]

самая лучшая постановка Фантома оперы

[@ghostofthespire]

There are more parts..

[@queenofsingin99]

@MrsJosephMerrick Oh my! Hello! I never expected to see you, commenting on something that doesn't have Gerry, ahahaha. Don't get me wrong I still adore Gerry, but I love this Phantom also xD

[@PinkCharmander]

Christine's so gullible... anyone know why tako calls it the "Kopit" version?

[@redberry029]

wow

[@MrShaun42088]

the actress playing christine reminds me of kristen stewart in this part for some reason?

[@PurpleLugia]

Oh no. Sometimes I don't like some things my eyes see, like now. At 5:00-5:21, Christine was looking a lot like Kristen Stewart (Bella, for you familiar with the Twilight movies). Now I don't hate Twilight, but I can't say I'm crazy about it (but let's not turn that into a debate unrelated to this movie), and I was not exactly wanting to see a flash of Twilight in a Phantom movie. XP

[@ingridcalderon1994]

Oh no. Her voice. 😨😰 Carlotta did to her.

[@jakeblues875]

@IAngelofMusicI I was half expecting christine to slap her round her smug face with the cup... random as well, no? :P

[@krystalrobertson5253]

Would it really be so bad if Carlotta couldn't talk??

[@AnnLiOz]

@queenofsingin99 Ps I fell in love with him while studying in London, and went on on and off for few years - of at first excitement, loving, music at his flat in Notting Hill,then upset heartache and tragedy, and all the stuff I NEVER want you to feel for anyone. I was 19 and he was into his 30's...IT hurt. I still am upset by all that happened....This is not a joke....:(

[@TheWanderingchild]

does Erik say that in this version? :O What do you mean?

[@AnnLiOz]

Oh dear...my personals all over utube...Sorry everyone! Have lovely day!!!

[@sapphire91288]

ROFL best comment ever!!

[@slinkyfun]

cos this version's screenplay is by Arthur Kopit. Duh!!

[@jackmcdonnell8505]

6:49 NOOOOO!!!

[@GlompErik]

Grrr... ra...Phillipe stole eriks signature rose...the anger sharks are gathering...DIEEEEEEEEEE! ... (cookies for those who know where the quotes from!:)

[@AnnLiOz]

@queenofsingin99 You know I am absolutely sincere in all I say, even if I joke a bit...If anyone doesnt believe me Ive a over 1000 page manuscript(copy) of the opera we wrote together to prove it...Love makes you crazy, I should know...Mind you, I admit Im a bit crazy in first place...:)

[@OiraMela]

@CrackersandCheesePro it sounds like it but it kinda sounds like he's just grunting

[@Emily_Travels]

how long is this movie???

[@InsanityQueen93]

@CurlsPOTOPlan It couldn't hurt!

[@cameronellis9235]

I wish Carlotta would just go away I hate he character and I understand jealousy but she is simply terrible.

[@TheWanderingchild]

I will invent a machine to transfer you into the movie. Then I can head Carlotta on a pile! And of course I'll hunt away Phillips / Raoul to another continent (Antarctica perhaps) so that Erik can get Christine! :D I'm with LePhantomessa, one of te coolest crashes! 1. POTO 2004 movie 2. THIS!!!

[@wherokee178]

@Enabsflow1 man that was very much 300... This is the operaaaaaa!.... wait change in lines... This is Spartaaaaaaaa! lol

[@Dracolikeshamsters24]

At least there was no ribbon... but still, this is UNACCEPTABLE! We must plot our revenge! Shall we?

[@queenofsingin99]

@MrsJosephMerrick Ah, sisters. A guy named Erik? Ironic. Ahahhaha.

[@IoannaaHeartsYou]

I think about 3 hours

[@AnnLiOz]

@queenofsingin99 Oh yes! I had the hots for Charles Dance in this &in Jewel in the Crown TV series at the same time.He seemed to be on telly everywhere at the time.I thought this version very good, very sweet, and CD acting excellent, apart from his dodgy accent which is a bit annoying....Surprised you didnt I !!!!!!! :):):ps AT the time I also was in love with a bloke called ERik, (NOT JOKING)and I didnt know til this version the Phantoms name...was I teased at home by my little sister...evil!

[@totaltwifan]

@Kunama1000 He he. That's quite ironic

[@MissMochaccino]

@TheEvilviolin Mine THREE!! Lol

[@XIIIKHRoxas]

pshh why wouldn't i be!?

[@thenana011]

[@jakeblues875]

@Enabsflow1 xD

[@caylahuffman1455]

WHAT THATS HOW IT ENDED!!! THAT WAS SO UN FAIR!! WHAT ABOUT ALL THE UNMASKING STUFF AND ALL THE...GOD JUST 4 GET IT THAT WAS SO UN FAIR!!!

[@mendawen]

There are two parts, don't worry ^^ As you can see, we are only at the 10th video, and there are 21 videos ;)

[@fairygothic]

No it's not over LOL there's more

[@strethy]

I usually feel sorry for the phantom but not here, what an asshole, he thinks its ok to humiliate Charlotte but something happens to Christine he acts like the world is gonna end.
