Hugs for the Phantom

Unread post by Lupis »

((Warning! This may contain spoilers to books/movies/games.))

I recently watched the 2004 movie version of Phantom of the Opera, after having my friend yap on and on and on about it for weeks. I don't know what I was expecting, besides to be angry at "the guy" and to feel really bad for "the phantom".

Getting really angry at "the guy" is an understatement. I really wanted to smack Raoul many times during the movie (or maybe just Punjab him. Eh? Eh?). Christine was similar - she could be sweet, or completely heartless and horrible. /backhand her too.

Feeling really bad for "the phantom" is the understatement of the century. Good gods, give that man a hug. Nothing good ever happens to him, and he still somehow remains the most amazing character throughout. (Maybe its the mask and the swishy cape)

So, after thinking about the story, I started to wonder if anyone else ever feels the urge to jump into a story, be it movie, book or videogame, and give the characters a piece of your mind. For instance, here's my to-do list:
-Hug Erik. (The Phantom)
-Smack Christine.
-Punjab Raoul.
-Kick Eragon in the face.
-Backhand Varian, simultaneously kicking Garrosh in the ribs.
-Hug Erik again.
-Shake some sense into Anakin.
-That having failed to do anything, give Vader a pat on the back.

Anyone else have a similar to-do list in mind? (And please give Erik a hug. He needs a hug.)

I actually sympithise with Erik (Phantom) I actually played him. (SO FUN) but tecnicly I kinda was the phantom growing up.

Extremely tallented but slightly ugly guy finds love of his life and works hard to make her his.
Girl allmost falls for him, and right before she does prettyboy comes out of nowhere and steals her from him.
Phantom kicks some ass and burns down buildings

<.< >.> CURSE YOU PRETTYBOYS!! *Shakefist*
I actually played him.
That sounds like a very fun role to play. If I had a grain of acting talent in me, I would want to play that part. However, I don't. Not a single bit.
