Chandelier Scene - Phantom of The Opera (2004) Movie

The Phantom of the Opera is a 2004 British-American musical drama film based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the French novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux. It was produced and co-written by Lloyd Webber and directed by Joel Schumacher. It stars Gerard Butler in the title role, Emmy Rossum as Christine Daaé, Patrick Wilson as Raoul, Miranda Richardson as Madame Giry, Minnie Driver as Carlotta Giudicelli, and Jennifer Ellison as Meg Giry.

Phantom: *Has mild face burn*
Everyone else: MY GOD THE DEVIL'S CHILD!

I always feel so bad for Carlotta when she finds Piangi's body. She and Piangi loved each other and Piangi was just caught in the crossfire. This is where the Phantom crossed the line

[blazethewolf]

A villain you can understand is a masterpiece. He was rejected since birth and never had anyone to love except Christine. So he'd do anything to feel her love and happiness

[dukeofglasgow]

I love this version rather than the theatre one: bringing down the chandelier in the second act to end the theatre operation for good.

[emilianosolis]

Can I just say that they did a good job with the chandelier and the windows exploding the chaos it's so perfect

[jedrzejkoszewski]

1:55 Conductor told orchestra to run because they could not see what is happening outside. That guy is a hero.

When I saw this scene on the stage, it was amazing! I really wasn’t expecting the chandelier to fall, it was so great in the movie and show

[aspenanimates]

I am not the biggest fan of the movie, but the chandelier falling sent shivers down my spine

[joshofstl]

I've never been the biggest fan of the 1980s style (including the drumline) that permeates so much of Phantom. That's one reason I like this scene -- it's a more timeless and orchestral arrangement (especially starting at 1:26) that dynamically captures the best of the main Phantom theme. That it runs during the most epic moment in the story is a bonus.

[sophieprade]

It's a wonderful musical. I like the Phantom of the opera.

[ΕύαΔοξιάδου]

The way his eyes tear up just before he cuts the rope....😭😭

[tophatsandspats]

Nobody probably noticed but the way it was edited on 1:08 shows that they cut it, changed so much on his face then sped it up so no one would notice when Christine took off the Phantoms mask

[delaneykearns]

I’ve always wondered where his hair went like when the mask is off ???

[archnophbic]

i loved this scene so much you have to idea

and the fact that they dropped an actual chandelier is
aside from the fact that poor carlotta found piangi's body, i absolutely loved the chandelier crash and all the music and pretty much everything

it's sad that a ton of people hate or make fun of this movie, i personally think it was the best

[ayanamiayachanJ]

Watching this movie on New Year’s Eve my New Years tradition

[SUNFLOWER-nguf]

1:59 That *" No "* was so 👌👌

[Commodoremoore]

No one can change my mind that the phantom cutting the rope and dropping down from the trapdoor is the best scene

[kl]

saw someone on tvtropes suggest Carlotta would be a better villain for LND than what they went with, given that she lost her lover and possibly her career due to the Phantom.

[dantindley]

And thus, the most iconic movie scene

*is born*






Next to the titanic sinking anyway

[adriananoelle]

That is a beautiful chandelier! I got chills.
