phantom or friend

i grew up listening to music, all types of music for that matter. i recall the 1st genre i was exposed to was 'classical,' then i was made to appreciate broadway musicals...one of which was the 'Phantom of the Opera.' never knowing what the ending to the story was and not really having the time to read the novel by Gaston Leroux, it was really nice to have finally seen a film version of the play...it gave life to the vague images i had in my head.

Raoul and the Phantom
in reality, the actor who played the role of the 'phantom,' Gerard Butler, is actually more handsome than Patrick Wilson 'Raoul'...but how can you not fall in love with role of 'Raoul' in the film? patrick wilson did a fantastic job giving life to 'raoul.' everytime he'd be in a scene with 'christine,' you can't help but feel the same safe, secure, and loved feeling that 'christine' would feel. *sigh*

imho, in the film, if find 'patrick wilson' more attractive than 'gerard butler.'
raoul, a groomed, long-haired lad with such kind eyes and perfect bearing! :) i'm loving the scene when he was going down the looong flight of stairs ;)

note: there's a silent film version of the 'Phantom of the Opera.' i was made to watch it and i tried (really tried) to sit through the whole film (more of endure what i was viewing) but i was too young to appreciate black and white or silent films that time. i wonder if i'd still want to see it...i'll search for it via i-net soon not now, i'm too tired.

if you haven't seen the film version of 'phantom of the opera' (2004), check it out...now! :) hopefully, i'd be able to find time to go back to the cinema to watch it again!

for now, i will play the music back in my head and allow the music to lull me to sleep...
mental playlist:
think of me
all i ask of you
music of the night

goodnight!
