and again...
watched the phantom again on duty tonite.
i think i've finally figured out why i love it so much. it isn't because i simply love the movie--and the music. i mean, they're great...but i think it may be a little more than that.
i always watch it thinking that the phantom will at some point win christine, and he never does. raoul always wins.
this may sound completely insane, but maybe i some-what in some crazy way identify with the phantom.
he loves this girl and gives her everything--and is left with a broken heart in return. he gave her his music--his world.
im not saying that im like him in that sense-- just that i always get the shit end of the stick. i always get into things, and get let down so easily. it's so common to me now that i can sometimes feel it coming...like a sickness.
does any of that make sense? probably not. it does in my head...but maybe not to anyone else.
oh well.
