Phantom Fanatic
"I have brought you... to the seat of sweet music's throne... to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music... music...", sings the Phantom to Christine. Then suddenly my silent cellphone flashes. I picked it up, not realizing my voice was too loud, "Aries!... yah just one CD... hulaan mo kung nasan ako... (nasan ka?) Phantom!... (again?!) eh kinakabisado namin eh!... (who are you with?) Jinggay..."
It was my third time last Saturday to watch it and don't be surprised if I watch it again. It's just so addictive! The second time I watched it, I bought the soundtrack after getting out of the theatre. And now I'm reading the book.
I'm torn... so sino ba talaga sa kanila ang kras ko? Si Raoul o ang Phantom? Hehehe...
Favorite scene # 1: Christine and Raoul sings "All I Ask of You". I never realized how beautiful that song was until I watched this movie.
Favorite scene # 2: Christine and the Phantom sings "The Phantom of the Opera". Love the Phantom's appearance in the mirror and check out those candelabras!
Favorite scene # 3: Christine and the Phantom sings "Point of No Return". Sexy. Nuff said.
Favorite scene # 4: Christine visits her father's grave and sings "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again". Pero I think, hindi ako pupunta sa ganong cemetery. Katakot! Hehehe.
Favorite scene # 5: The Masquerade Ball. The best! Everything in it - the choreography, the costumes, especially the Phantom's costume -- love the mask!
Favorite scene # 6: Overture. But of course! The scene where the chandelier was being raised and then going on flashback was so haunting that I thought the whole movie's going to be scary. It's not scary but definitely haunting!
Have you seen it? You should!!! Bilis, now na! :-p
All I Ask Of You
RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you -
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry -your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you . . .
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you . . .
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe, no-one will find you
your fears are far behind you . . .
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night . . .
and you always beside me
to hold me and to hide me . . .
Then say you'll share with me
Iet me lead you from your solitude . . .
Say you need me with you here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go, let me go too -
Christine, that's all I ask of you . . .
Say you'll share with me
say the word and I will follow you . . .
Share each day with me,
Say you love me . . .
You know I do . . .
Love me - that's all I ask of you . . .
Love me - that's all I ask of you . .
I must go - they'll wonder where I am . . .
wait for me, Raoul!
Christine, I love you!
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!
And soon you'll be beside me!
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
(They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from
behind the statue)
