Let's face it, we women are emotional, so it's good to think it through and put everything in perspective through God's Word. I think it's good to analyze the characters in the books we read and the movies we watch.
I actually wrote a post about the Phantom vs. Raoul was the only good thing in it, really, which is rather funny because I didn't like him in the book:) He was not like that in the book, and I was quite shocked when I watched the movie. I definitely will not be watching the movie again for many reasons, but mainly because of the Phantom's character. I've read the book though, and that's what I got from the book. And I agree with you about the Phantom and why Christine was drawn to him, although I haven't seen the play. And at least it's on my own blog, so the blog author won't get annoyed! ) Only then can I be balanced in my perspective. So I have to be really cautious that I evaluate the feelings and emotions that the story makes me feel, and evaluate them in light of the truths of God's Word. I become the character and experience the story with them. Then again, when I read a story, I live it. We need to be sure we're evaluating the character of our.characters. I know they're just stories, but I think it's easy for us as women to get swept up into the stories we read and then look for someone like the character we fell in love with in real life. Quite honestly, that's why I have a hard time with the Twilight books. Why must we always go after the dangerous when we have the option of the caring, safe love of someone who puts our needs first? That's why we have so many broken homes and abusive marriages today, in my humble opinion. With a voice like that, how could you not think there might be some goodness to him? When Gerard sang, he sounded angry and lustful. When I saw the play, to me what attracted Christine to the Phantom was his beautiful singing voice. Okay, I totally have to go off on a tangent here. And because I was so disappointed at Gerard Butler's less than satisfactory singing pipes and over-sensual acting, it made Raoul stand out to me even more. I kept hearing comments about him being boring or wimpy, but I didn't think he was that way at all (although I wouldn't have minded if he'd had a haircut, personally). I'm glad to find another Raoul fan!! I loved Patrick Wilson's Raoul in the movie. I loved reading your answers to the questions!įinally, someone else who appreciates Raoul!! He was a bit silly in the book, but I did like him in the 2005 movie.Ĭhauvelin is an excellent pick for most dastardly villain!=) He is quite creepy. Here are the comments that started it all:
As a result, I discovered this fun post on the blog "Day by Day": Erik vs. I had an interesting conversation via comments yesterday that I thought I'd share with you.
