I could watch this scene over and over, lol, Gerard so so sexy in it, even as the Phantom! His raw, sensual singing voice is why Andrew Lloyd Webber chose him, I watched the 'behind the scenes' on the dvd, when he was learning to sing the songs, he's awesome.

[@gaylesyboo]

@@jaym8094I have watched it over and over recently. Gerard Butler’s performance in this scene is great. The sexy, seductive walk, the commanding eyes are of a man sure of himself while masked and of one who thinks he has finally found the one to end his solitude. And then the hurt look, no devastated, look when he is unmasked.

[@gaylesyboo]

We are in total agreement. The walk is crucial but so are his eyes. They are commanding as you say.

[@AndreaDAcunzo89]

I like the movie version best. In the original musical Christine is not fully aware that she is singing with the Phantom the whole time. To me this version is much more intriguing, because she is actually making a choice, and taking control of the situation. One can read it as she "playing along" to unmask the Phantom, but I like to see it as actually her offering a different ending to him. She unmasks him but not as an accusation, not as an escape, or a desperate measure. She is engaging his true self, and still caring for him. It's HIM who can't stand being unmasked. So much deeper emotions involved.

[@Bettybarnes42]

Very much agree. Between the two of them, it's him who is horrified of his own appearance and his own past. Christine never cowers from how he looks, but the violence he perpetuates ("it's in your soul that the true distortion lies"). It gives the story much more depth. I've never understood the hate for this film, out of all the versions of POTO made, I feel it captures a deeper essence.

[@Rescultir]

Was she not accepting of it in the dungeons later on though? She doesn't care about his face it's him that does. She sang that part to him before the other guy showed up. I think it's fine and I also think her knowing it's him gets you more focused into that specific part of the movie because you're wondering what's going to happen which is probably why a lot of people liked this song because they were so focused on this particular scene.

[@AndreaDAcunzo89]

@@Rescultir yeah exactly! I agree, her knowing the whole time makes this scene more interesting. In the musical instead it's not clear that she knows, and her act of unmasking is much more a "gotcha!" moment, which I think is less interesting.

[@pleasesave5948]

wonderful analysis, i agree

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

@@AndreaDAcunzo89 On stage, it's dependent on the blocking and the way the actress playing Christine pulls it off. Here are some different ways they might do it: A) Christine suspects it’s him at the end of his part when he turns away, and starts her part with hesitation. B) Christine realizes it's the Phantom at the end of his part when he turns away, and run away, starting her part with fear. C) Christine sings her part as anxious, then giving way to the words she sings and internalizing it, realizing she means what she says in innocent earnest D) Christine sings her part with growing desire as it “works” on her and she gives in to passionate lust E) Christine sings her part with growing confidence as she embraces the seductive power she has over him (à la Sierra Boggess’s “decided…de…cided…”). This is the kind that gets the Phantom overwhelmed the most when she’s rubbing his chest, etc. F) Christine plays the whole thing in full blissful ignorance until she actually feels his mask. Usually she might have a slight suspicion after his part but seems to forget it in the heat of her own lines. But once she feels the mask it’s immediate red flags everywhere.

I really like this version so much more than even the book. The music really magnifies the emotional experiences of each character. I wish they would've included the Persian and delved into Erik's past, how after running away from home he joined the circus where he learned to sing and do magic, then working for and being targeted by two royal families. Then how he grew tired and wanted a normal life, and he was contracted to build the opera house and in the process built himself a home and many trap doors throughout.

[@vastro921]

​@@margospring4964They probably think it's irrelevant to the story.

[@TheGodKingOfMusic]

To me this scene has always been Christine (movie version) allowing her physical attraction to the Phantom let loose under the guise of going along with the play, and for a brief moment when he sings All I Ask of You, she opens her eyes and realizes she actually has true love for him too. All the while Raoul realizes that in this brief moment in time, he does not have her heart and the Phantom does and this is why he gets all teary, even a little angry (maybe at Christine?). Raoul also realizes that even if he and Christine marry, he will likely never have the physical connection the Phantom has with her in this scene.

[@AnthonyHorvath]

Yes. 😀👏🏼👏🏼

[@saraameri128]

I don't know if it's accidental that the shoulders of her dress fall when she says "defenseless and silent, now I am here with you" but it matches the song and expressions sooo perfectly!

Is it weird that I actually like Gerard more than Ramin. I mean I feel like Gerard fits the role better vocally and physically. Like it’s more aggressive and emotional. Also Christine, it’s more soft and innocent.

[@Howlingburd19]

I guess it depends on what you prefer because Ramin definitely has a better singing voice and often uses his singing voice to be seductive and mesmerizing. But Gerald uses his acting and overall presence to be seductive and mesmerizing. So I think both are great in their own way and both portray why Christine would fall for the Phantom and his alluring style.

[@kimvargas841]

This is forever my favorite version, and 4:47 Rauols face and tears. I saw another comment describe it perfectly. He was pained, knowing he is Christines safe choice. It's clear her body and mind, at least a part is deep rooted to Erik. As Erik is to her, and he will never be able to compete with that. Even if she was just playing along, you can tell and feel the attraction they have and he probably questioned if she was still playing or fell for Erik completely. For if she did, he could never take her away.

I’m surprised they never made Love Never Dies into a movie like this. I’m aware of the Australian recording on DVD. That’s the one I use to watch all the time, but I mean an actual movie like this one is.

[@gaylesyboo]

This film needs to be re-appraised now because it was not acknowledged to be as great as it is. I saw it upon its first release and was very much impressed by it. Everyone else I met seemed determined to denigrate it in comparison to the Broadway production. I loved it in 2004 and loved it even more after seeing Phantom on Broadway. This movie is stunning. Gerard Butler is the perfect Phantom. Assured as only a self-educated genius can be. While protected by his mask, he is a commanding and confident male. However, the transition from that confident male to a scared and scarred creature in Point of No Return is amazing. He is totally shattered. Emmy Rossum is also perfect. So innocent but yet she easily turns from a girl to a bewitched woman wanting to be seduced in this scene.

I wondered many times why she tore off the mask IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE DAMNED AUDIENCE !... There are some explanations about it, but I see no real logic in either of them. Does anyone have any idea? Bc I only see the harsh betrayal from Christine's part. Erik used mean expedients to reach his goals, but we all know that he had little choice to get near to Christine, or to ANY mortal... (Okay, the novel is different, but I'd like to be able to read Sir Webber's mind about his version.) NO MATTER WHAT, I couldn't do that. It's even WORSE than to strip someone of all their clothes on the street in the middle of the day...

Beyond the point of no return CHRISTINE You have brought me To that moment when words run dry To that moment when speech disappears Into silence Silence I have come here Hardly knowing the reason why In my mind I've already imagined Our bodies entwining Defenseless and silent Now I am here with you No second thoughts I've decided Decided 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? AMBOS 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 FANTASMA 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...

The lyrics of this song... Are underrated. Not many songs like this being real, think about it. Art man.

[@Howlingburd19]

Totally agree! I always thought the first verse was so epic and the Phantom is very seducing: You have come here In pursuit of your deepest urge In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent Silent I have brought you That our passions may fuse and merge In your mind you've already succumbed to me Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me Now you are here with me, no second thoughts You've decided, decided

Director and photography, in this long scene, seem to have as only purpose to highlight how beautiful Emmy Rossum is. The costume, simple and moderately revealing, the lighting that enhances the texture of her skin, the camera angles, the perfect hairstyle... She looks like a -not yet fallen - angel

[@alexman378]

Well that’s supposed to be her at her absolute heights of the piece. Up to now she was the second choice for plays by other people, this is the first time she’s performing the Phantom’s main character, meaning she’s good enough to be up to his own level. The photography should indicate that that’s her at her best and she’s in charge of making the choice of whether to join the light or darkness that are after her.

[@royce1005]

Two lonely people with a strange fate. The only thing they had in life was music, and they met at the Opera House by fate. They realized that they were the only ones who could bring their music to the heaven and give them wings, and they sang this soul-shaking song because they had a similar realization to their resolve. At the beginning and in the cemetery, the Phantom pretended to be an angel of music, but now he exposes his body and his heart to Christine, singing of love as the Phantom, begging for her love. it could be Pietà. Finally, Christine faces the real him, not a ghost or an angel, and faces even her beloved Raoul as a special being who cannot be replaced, and this masterpiece conveys the strong resolve of Christine, who has been weaving the passion that the two have spun up until now, in a sensual way. The overflowing spirit from the two spread to those around them, conveying to me a tremendous sexiness and a rich atmosphere along with the wonderful music. He possessed a naturally sharp sensibility that allowed him to weave such heart-wrenching music, but I wonder how many harsh, cold and painful times he must have had in his life. How much he craved beauty and love! The beauty of this music made that fervor even more apparent to me. To Christine, the Angel of Music was the Phantom, and to the Phantom, that was Christine.

[@danjon8799]

Personally I think this is my favourite moment of the musical. It feels really like everything has built up to this moment and its going to explode in the most dramatic point (if anything this feels like the climax and the Final Lair feels like a coda to the whole show) because you have built up to this moment of caring to this relationship between Christine and the Phantom. Never heard a bad version before and that says something since the film isn't the greatest.

When I first saw this movie I was hesitant because I grew up listening to the Original London Cast Soundtrack that my folks owned, and this was always my favorite song and I didn't think Emmy was gonna nail it the way Sarah Brightman did but I gotta say, Emmy definitely gave it a more haunting and emotional tone that has alot of genuienity in it.

Okay, is it JUST me, or is tue Phantom still hot... I feel like casting Gerard Butler vocally was amazing, and visually I'm obsessed obviously, but he is a man that is HARD to make ugly... like when I finally saw his face my first thought was "THATS IT?! THAT IS WHAT IS MEANT TO STRIKE FEAR INTO OUR HEARTS?!" I truly believe that Christine loves both Phantom and Raoul. She chose Phantom in the end not to save Raoul, but bc she recognized the Phantom had never BEEN chosen, and he deserved to know what that felt like. And notice how Christine initiates both kisses with the Phantom, while shes touching his face. I truly believe that if during Music of the Night, if he HADN'T flipped out on her and instead just cried and begged her to not look at him yet, and further, just said "I'm afraid you'll never love me once you see my face." That would have given her the opportunity to see his vulnerabilities and show him that to her, that didn't matter and to HER, he was never less than just bc of his face. I would 1000% date a guy who looks like him. As long as he was as passionate too ❤

Interesting because i got a different feel from the phantom. He is a murderer in the movies but at the end i felt like it was the first time he was honest "anywhere you go let me go to".

I love how all elements of the sceene contribute to realize how visceral, intense and with no return is the relacionship that he desires with Cristine, such as the red scenario, that could be interpreted like the blood, the growing tensions along the scenes and also the growing intensity of the sound wich contributes to understand what the absence of a family, love, home and affection can cause to someone: this intensity of connection that he demands. There is also this fire, wich contributes to the intense aspect of the sceene and the fire itself as a symbol of transmutation: the both of them becoming only one. In fact, a very good scene in my opinion...

[@AnthonyHorvath]

I thought about the entirety of the scene like that as well, and have read comments talking about the aspects of it too. You tell it well. I like how you have imagined what all the aspects might represent. I have almost thought the same things you have about the the whole scene and its finer details. But, the way you put it all is very good. Awesome!!

No really why does his hair change like that🤣 it always throws me because it's so dark before his mask is ripped off. It's not like the lighting suddenly changed that much! It's still my absolute favorite song and scene though.

The unmasking here has no where near the same power as Ramin's portrayal, the way he screams "NO!" both angry and afraid and looks away as it was completly unexpected for him to be unmasked mid song. In this Geralt just looks disappointed lol, like "aw dammit 😕"

[@TR-lm4mx]

Which I think fits well for his version of the phantom. Gerard’s facial expressions in this film were everything

[@geraltofrivia7456]

Which in my opinion is perfect here. He is dissapointed she betrayed him again. She played him, she tricked him and she revealed his biggest insecurity. He feels betrayed, dissappointed, resentful and naive. He can't believe he believed her

[@jsec4222]

When I first watched this movie, i've always remembered the bit where Christine sings "No second thoughts, I've decided, decided.", her nodding her head ever so slightly at the phantom at the first "decided", almost as if saying she was picking him over Raoul. Which i thought tied into the breathless look he had when the camera switched to him (also kinda plays into the passion Christine displays afterwards and Raoul's reaction). But my brother made me doubt it, especially with this clip. I can't tell if she really nodded or it was simply the flickering light/reflection on her face that made it look like she did. Can someone confirm?

[@AnthonyHorvath]

I believe that she did actually gave herself to The Phantom at the start of this song. I think you can see her ease into it more and more the thought of them two being together and at the end she was willing to be with him. So, by the end she had fully given herself over to him and I think Raoul realized everything that was going on. To me it seemed like he was going to cry in one part.

[@jsec4222]

@@AnthonyHorvath Yes that's what i figured too! Especially when she unmasked him, she didn't look afraid/disgusted, more sorry for his disfigurement (It seemed they had a moment of acceptance that was interrupted by the authorities and the crowd panicking).

[@AnthonyHorvath]

@jsec4222 Yes, exactly. Everything went south when Raoul showed up in the Phantom's lair. It was then when Christine had to make a decision for her life. She had to choose between the two of them.

[@sammcburney148]

The phantom (If that's who you mean lol) usually wears a wig as part of his disguise, along with the mask. The dark hair was his wig, which was removed with the mask. (A lot of broadway shows have this shown much better, in some Christine pulls the wig and mask off together in each of her hands. One of which being Michael Crawford's, and Sarah Brightman's performance here on youtube. At the part where he sings "Christine, that's all I ask of you" she pulls both off at once, revealing the phantom's face.)

What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us Past the point of no return The final threshold What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn Beyond the point of no return? You have brought me To that moment where words run dry To that moment where speech disappears into silence Silence I have come here Hardly knowing the reason why In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent Now I am here with you, no second thoughts I've decided, decided 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 bursts into bloom? When will the flames at last consume us?

I’m sorry I’m so glad that Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway has scheduling conflicts to not do these roles. Yes Emmy could move around more, yes Gerard is deaf in one of his ears (he had surgery as a kid) and does a half decent job of singing but his acting is 100%. I just CANT imagine an alternate universe where Hugh Jackman was playing the phantom. Gerard butler knows that he didn’t sing that well he mentioned it in an interview but if I were in the room I’d tell him your acting was amazing though and it’s better that these two were less known than Hugh and Anne because it made their character seem more believable than just another Hugh Jackman movie…we alll know how terrible le mis was…this movie isn’t perfect but despite its flaws it’s still decent.
