very little missing for my next set ''Your Love Redeems Me'' inspired by one of my favorite movies (favorite stories) the phantom of the opera. I will talk a little about my set and about this story (specifically the 2004 film directed by Joel Schumacher, and with a screenplay by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Joel Schumacher, based on the novel of the same name by Gaston Leroux.)
Well, the story is about the strange case of Fantas da Ópera (obvious) and its supposed relationship with Christine Daaé, a young singer who suddenly ascends. Of course, the musical has a lot more to offer.
the soundtrack marked me intensely, the photography and costumes are wonderful, full of details, so as not to go unnoticed by our eyes. unlike most people, I didn't hate Christine. On the contrary, I understood it. Now, the girl imagined that the Phantom was an Angel, something divine and unreachable, something palpable only in her mind. She was a young girl and after all she wanted to be happy, she wanted to have the opportunity to have real love. And then, even though he knew that the Phantom was not so impalpable, he ends up scaring her, not by his appearance but by his behavior.
In general, this independent value of the work is shown in the well-planned junction of the theatrical, musical and drama. It sounds like a dream, when the black and white scenes appear and the flowers have their close-up, what passes is control of a faithfully inspired project.
a little about your history...
When he realizes that the soprano is going to run away with his beloved, he kidnaps her again and decides to force her to marry, under threat of killing Raoul. Erik shares a moment of intimacy with the girl, telling her past and crying. He ends up letting Christine leave with Raoul.
For years, at night, she listens to his voice and he teaches her to sing, saying that he is the "Angel of Music".
The mysterious figure declares his love for the singer and claims that he needs her voice to bring his musical compositions to life. Curious, she lifts the mask and sees his deformed face. He assumes a violent behavior, shouting and hitting the soprano. Then, emotionally, he confesses his suffering and desire to be like others.
Several readings and interpretations may arise regarding Leroux's novel. Despite all the crimes he commits and to exhibit aggressive, self-centered and obsessive behavior, the figure of the Phantom has won the sympathy and compassion of his audience.
In fact, although threatening, the figure also shows his most sensitive side, his heart hurt with the world that rejected him. Despite his unquestionable musical talent, he is forced to live in the shadows, because the deformation on his face frightens everyone who knows him.
In this sense, this seems to be a story of marginalization for those who are different, who are outside the current standards and, therefore, have no opportunity to shine or rise in life.

I wanted to bring to my set some essential details, inspired by the scene with Rauol, like colors, feeling and passion The Point of No Return
it was the most artistic set I’ve ever done, I’m really looking forward to it, my friend @jaitjunior , he did a great job, both with the ideas, the clicks, his editing, the color palette of the film, it was all done by him, when comes to cosplay he studies a lot, I couldn't do it with someone else!!
