Phantom of the opera 2004 putlocker1/7/2023 All this falls nicely in line with the actual plot of the novel. Christine herself is caught between the passionate but dangerous Phantom and kind but ordinary admirer Raoul (Andrea di Stefano). He falls in love with a beautiful chorus girl, Christine Daée (Asia Argento), and turns the world upside-down, murdering and maiming people in his wake, to possess her and make her dreams of stardom come true. The ‘Phantom’ (Julian Sands) is an outcast genius living in the waterlogged underbelly of the opera house. Phantom is your basic Beauty and the Beast story, set in and under the Paris Opéra. What? You thought Andrew Lloyd Webber made up this story? And I think they can be forgiven for this. Eighteenth Century French authors did not write giallos. "The Phantom of the Opera" was written by Gaston Leroux in eighteenth century France. What people really want to say is, ‘it’s just not giallo’. However, since it could hardly be more Argento if the Phantom went around in black gloves and one of the Three Mothers was found mysteriously lurking under the stage, I’d suggest that this statement hides a different gripe. The second excuse is that it’s ‘just not Argento’. For some reason, there are few films more maligned. Even – nay, especially – among Dario Argento fans. Alas, this means I must now be a social pariah among horror fans. My name is Christina, and I love Dario Argento’s Phantom of the Opera.
