My inner 13 year old is very much enjoying Phantom Of The Opera.

If only Christine were less annoying. I'd probably be terribly annoyed with the Phantom too, except anyone is an improvement over the horribly nasal one I saw when I was 13. And Raoul, while possessing some amount of charm, isn't nearly as cute as that one was. I had a ridiculous crush on him.

So much fun seeing movies a year after the rest of the world.

i only saw it a month or two ago

When I saw it a month or two ago, the thing I was struck by is how absolutely BONKERS Christine is. When I only listened to the soundtrack, it was easy to suspend disbelief and just take it as a given that Christine is in the thrall of this being who she believes to be her father but is actually a bummed-out opera writer. The other characters aren't as much trying to save Christine from the Phantom as they are saving her from her own madness.

At least that's what I got out of it.

I think it's just the movie, really. It's harder to see facial expressions in a large theater, but I don't remember Christine ever being that insipid and spacey. I was all ready for her and Keanu to hook up.
