The plot is the same as the play, the music is (basically) the same as the play, so I’m not going to get into that here. The story, of course, is about a masked man who lives under an opera house and falls in love with Christine Daae, the beautiful soprano, who is also pursued by Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagney. Although! I have a theory that addresses all the movie’s issues, so keep reading for that. And the movie was…not as bad as I feared. And ever since I saw the play, I’ve been afraid to go back to the movie… But I finally did, because I’m writing a retelling and this is research. I liked this movie when it came out–but I was seventeen and I’d never seen the play. If you’re not familiar with it, the Butler Phantom is a movie version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical–but very much not the play (for that you want the 25th anniversary/Karimloo Phantom). Since the last time I watched this movie, I’ve watched just about every version of Phantom I could find, including the stage production…eight times, actually! I know this, because I know I haven’t seen it since the first time I saw the stage production. I say “finally” because I haven’t seen it in…at least eight years. If he was anything, it was dramatic.I finally watched the Gerard Butler Phantom. He threw his voice to the ceiling, from above, for a dramatic affect. ❜❜ He was out of view, only seen when he wished to be. A smirk crossed the fallen angel’s face when she came in. And so there he stood now, waiting for her to come to the dressing room to sing as she had so often did. She was untrained, but that could be remedied. It was as if he was back in the heavenly choir, sublime music soaring through the atmosphere. Then Christine had entered his life, he had not quite noticed her at first. A clean separation from his feet and one side of his face, but the wing on the right side of his face and the wings on his back… He had been left disfigured, and started to loose all hope that he and his music would soar again.

Nothing could compare to the pain of having all six of his wings mutilated as he crashed to the Earth so long ago. Stripped of power, and stripped of his wings. As such, he had fallen with Lucifer, one of the few members of the First Choir to do so.

When one flies too close to the light, they tended to fall to Earth. The seraph had been a sort of Icarus among the heavenly host.
