I got a tape from my sister with the new version of Phantom of the Opera (the one with emma rossem)

We got to the part at the end (I think it's the end) where the phantom is threatening to kill her boyfriend, and she kisses him after asking what kind of world he has lived in.


Then the tape ends. Aparently my sister didn't have enough room on her tape :P



Could someone fill me in on the rest of the movie?


Most importanlty, who are the 2 old people at the beginning. I am DYING to know

Here is the plot recap from "Wikipedia." The link wouldn't work.

Plot

Derived from the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which was based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, the film begins in 1919, as the effects of a dilapidated Paris Opera House are being sold off at auction. RaoulVicomte de Chagny, now an old wheelchair-bound man, purchases a coveted music box. During the auction, Raoul spots a familiar figure: Meg Giry,daughter of Madame Giry, whom he met as a young man. Meg is now an old woman, almost 50 years later. But he is distracted by the next piece for auction, Lot 666; a chandelier in pieces which has been restored and newly electrically wired. As the auctioneers display the restored chandelier, the opening crescendo of music wipes away the years of decay from the opera house as the black and white turns into color, and the audience is transported back in time to 1870, the beginning of the story, when the opera was in its prime.

A disfigured musical genius called "The Phantom," played by Gerard Butler, lives within the deepest recess of the opera house. Tormented by his scarred face, the Phantom lives in the watery labyrinths beneath the Opéra Populaire in Paris. After nearly ten years of quiet obsession with the delicate, ethereal voice of Christine Daae (Emmy Rossum) and the beautiful young soprano herself, he plots to place his protégé at center stage.

Christine is torn between her love for Raoul (Patrick Wilson), a childhood sweetheart who has returned into her life, and her dark, undeniable attraction to and pity for the Phantom. Jealous and possessive, the Phantom plots to make Christine his, resorting to stalking her wherever she goes as well as killing several people including Piangi. An intense swordfight later ensues in the cemetery, where Raoul eventually disarms him and almost decides to kill him before Christine pleads for him not to, "not like this."(not to kill him because he is her angel of music) His rage seemingly augmented, the Phantom angrily states as Christine and Raoul walk away: "Now, let it be war on upon you both." During the night's play he steals Christine away and avoids the trap to be captured by Raoul and the managers. After a series of tense, chaotic sequences, the Phantom imprisons Raoul, who attempts to save Christine, and threatens to strangle him to death if Christine does not choose the Phantom.

Struck by the desperation of his actions as well as a revelation of how dark his past must be, Christine kisses him and displays her deep affection - showing that she loves both Raoul and the Phantom, but in different ways - something which he has never received from anyone. Her kindness and the love in her eyes so deeply touches the Phantom that, ashamed of what he's done, he allows Christine and Raoul to leave. Just before she departs with Raoul on the boat, Christine approaches the Phantom, who helplessly tells her that he loves her, and gives him the diamond ring from her finger. Heartbroken, the Phantom begins to cry. He watches Christine and Raoul row away together in his boat. After using a candlestick to smash every mirror in his underground lair, he disappears behind a velvet curtain into an empty glass mirror portal, before the police arrive. Upon entering, Meg Giry (Jennifer Ellison), the ballet mistress's daughter, finds only the phantom's white mask.

Later, the grainy black and white picture dominates as the elderly Raoul rides to a cemetery where we find out that Christine has since died. He lays the toy monkey at her grave site, and notices that on the left of the tombstone lies a red rose with a black ribbon tied around it (a trademark of the Phantom) with the engagement ring attached to it.

Omg thank you so much :) I need to get the whole movie :P I'm so glad he saw the error of his ways! I was afraid he was going to killl them both!

I was right! My hsuband thought the old couple was christine and raoul. But I thought it was raoul and the blonde girl (meg) because if it was christine, they would still be together, not separate you know?


Such a sad movie all the way through. But SO good.


Thank you :)
