I cry—no SOB—every time Erik tells Christine he loves her. Like if he came through my mirror lol. I love the emotion Gerard brings to this movie as the Phantom🖤 It's hilarious that they had such a gorgeous actor portray Erik😂 (even without the mask I feel Erik is easily 1000X hotter than Raoul) Mostly, I just feel so bad for the Phantom. Like he'd been cast out & hounded for his congenital deformity, so he went into 'hiding' granted Mme. Giry helped him into the opera catacombs) and after all those years of living in the catacombs he hears a voice reminiscent of an angel & lets her in to his world only to be denied & betrayed causing him to seclude himself from the world for the rest of his life (unless you count LND. And what makes it worse is even after what Christine did, he continued to love her—even after her death😭🥀 Just like I want to leap through my TV and hug him and just you know be there for him❤ I also feel that of Raoul didn't come back when he did, Christine would've chosen Erik instead. Then they would've lived happily ever after in his lair and the music of the night would NOT be over. BOOM Happy ending❤🥀.
