Ok, my friends, here's the truth: there is nothing that I love better than a good musical, unless it is a movie version of a musical done ridiculously well. So let's talk about The Phantom of the Opera. Good musical, great movie. The movie-version Phantom is quite attractive (though Raoul is not), and Minnie Driver provides fantastic comic relief.
But what we are really interested in, my friends, is the INSANE amount of candles that exist throughout the movie. In fact, if it wasn't for these candles, the Phantom would be completely out of luck, because they a) totally set the creepy/romantic mood he always seems to be going for and b) illuminate his crazy underground lair (because the silly opera house didn't think of putting in outlets in the watery dungeon). In essence, without candles, the movie would be a complete bust.
So thank you, candles, for being a part of this movie. They definitely could not have done it without you.
So many candles! Glorious.
