Raoul vs. Phantom
June 19 2005
Christine: Say you love me...
Raoul: You know I do...
How come Raoul isn't for real?? He's pretty much the perfect man - sweet, chivalrous, strong, good looking, wealthy, an appreciator of the arts, and he adored Christine. He may have been a little wishy-washy...but to poor little gullible, helpless Christine he was someone safe and tender. Man, she was lucky to snag him. But then she goes running after the phantom, who must be twice her age and quite obviously has no social skills...what with killing people and all.
If I were Christine, I'd have stuck with the nice boy who loved me and didn't want me locked away in a dungeon forever, instead of the partially deformed psychiatric mess of an affection-starved genius who made wax models of me...even if he did inspire my voice.
I suppose (and this is inspired by KC's comment) that Christine liked the mystery and darkness surrounding the phantom..that there was something dangerous and edgy about him, and she was irresistably drawn to him...maybe she had been pursued by Nice Guys her whole life and wanted a Bad Boy for once.
Maybe I just don't see the phantom's appeal because I have always gone for the Nice Guy and never the Bad Boy. I still think Christine was crazy.
But then, love makes you do crazy things...especially when your love story is written by Webber...

but don't you think that the Phantom is so irresistably sexy? i mean yeah raoul's the sweet kind one, but sometimes girls want a bad guy and he just screams gorgeous. i think he wins the title of The Sexiest Most Hideously Deformed Man ever

don't you know? the nice guy always loses out to the bad boy. especially when the nice guy goes by raoul. and the story is older than webber. he just set it to music.
