Everything ended as it should have, but for some reason, this is still so sad. Because poor Erik’s all alone again, and whatever peace he had gotten out of Christine, however wrongly, was gone. Christine was better with Raoul, but you can’t deny that this is still tear-jerking.

"Christine was better with Raoul" No. She was better at her own. Raoul is an abusive j3rk that pays no attention to what she says and forces her to risk her life, all to kill her teacher even though she wanted to protect him. But it seems Raoul has permission to be an @ssh0l3 and Erik gets all the blame 😊 Musical!Erik is much more manipulative and villanous than he was in the novel, but he still recognizes his mistakes unlike Raoul.

​@@sofia_junco *sigh* Raoul literally forced her to risk her own life to prove his masculinity and kill a man. And in the novel, he's an even worse person. To be his wife Christine will have to abandone her carrier and become a submissive housewife, or you think a noble's wife could have a carrier as an Opera singer? She has the right of choosing anyone she wants, but Raoul was literally the worst. She could end up single, it would be a better choice. It's so stupid to think Erik couldn't make her happy because he was broken, when he literally redeemed himself. After The Final Lair she could easily stay with him and be happy, with someone that understands music as much as she does. Unlike some useless loser with 0 understanding about culture that is romanctized by the simple fact of being pretty and rich ;) (And Raoul definitely smells like 💩, like every french noble back in that time. Erik lived many other cultures and had a much better higiene😂)

​@@harperfisak That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

35:23 Wow, this one is unlike any other. 1. Erik says Christine's name twice, something you don't often see during this part. *Edit: the first "Christine" might actually be Christine sniffling/crying/gasping but it's hard to tell. In any case I like to imagine Erik is saying her name very softly first.* 2. They clasp hands and Christine kisses Erik's hand while Erik does the same to her. It's like a final kiss but not complete, because they know a real kiss would be too painful so this is what they decide on. 3. Christine slowly backs away, not wanting to leave, and even turns around to look at him one more time before she's gone. She doesn't run away without looking back like most Christine's do. 4. Erik slowly and silently watches her leave without running after her. He simply accepts this outcome without forcing it. This one was lovely, definitely a new favorite.

The clasping hands was done because Mercedesz Csampai lost the ring somewhere backstage, so she had to ad-lib something to do when she returns to the Phantom. But it's done so well you wouldn't know it! (And it was her last performance as Christine, which makes it even more noteworthy.)

If you want to see the Phantom find love at last, I strongly recommend you read "A Stroll On Sunday", which is probably the best unofficial Phantom "sequel" ever written. Though technically a fanfic, I'm convinced that the writer is a professional novelist who wrote this as a side-project/hobby. I won't spoil it for you, but the Phantom falls for a refined, older, wiser British-Canadian woman named Nora after she is mistakenly given his Box 5 opera seat. Nora is basically the _anti_-Christine. Whereas Christine is sweet, innocent, trusting and naive, Nora is worldly, cultured, sharp-witted and cynical. A line from the piece goes something like _"Christine was his Angel, but Nora was his Valkyrie."_ Being older and wiser, she is amused (but not hypnotized or mesmerized) by the Phantom's mysterious and mystical-seeming ways. She is fascinated in his intellect and storied past instead. The Phantom, in turn, is bewitched and enamored not only with her cultured upbringing, but her strong-willed resistance to his guiles as well. What makes me convinced a professional writer wrote this is how convincingly and realistically it portrays a love that grows naturally and organically. It's not love-at-first sight or a love that grows out of dramatic bursts of passion, but one that grows slowly out of lots of small and tender moments. It's not a love that's tried by some big dramatic conflict (like a rival suitor or anything like that), but the common need to look past the other's small flaws and overcoming their own insecurity as well. (The age-old question of _"Am I good enough for him/her? Will he/she stay if I reveal what's really in my heart? How can I change to make him/her want me?")_ It shows love _as it works in the real world._ Either way, I've convinced myself that "A Stroll on Sunday" (and not "Love Never Dies") is _THE_ sequel to Phantom of the Opera, and that the Phantom does finally find lasting love ever after.

I love ramin at 6:22 because his voice singing that line sounded just so authentic and tender. like he truly felt it in the bottom of his heart and there was ALMOST sanity in the phantom character just through delivery of that line. her reaction was perfect as well, like she still couldn't help be "entranced" by him but her strength and character development showed in the ultimate rejection of the ring. both did a great job favorite by far
