My older sister has told me that she is willing to watch the Charles Dance PotO with me. I would be extremely excited, but I am a bit concerned.
I have repeatedly had to debate the topic of the phantom with her because she is adamant that he is always creepy and no one should ever date him or love him and she is a huge Raoul supporter, which would be fine, but her reasoning is weird.
She has insulted the phantom nearly every time the subject is brought up and she doesn’t seem to realize that I am at all upset by this. She has only ever seen the 2004 movie and read excerpts from one of the books (I don’t know which). She has looked right at my precious Cherik and said he looks like an ugly old man, even when he was wearing his hat of adorableness.
I am worried that if I drag her into this headfirst, she will just set fire to everything I love and my life will go up in smoke faster than an Opera house. I want her to watch it, but only if she is going to LOVE it. I know she will never love it the way I do, but I also want to have the opportunity to share this amazing thing with my sister.
What do I do?
Hello sister dear, I would like to start out saying I love you baby girl.
Now, let's address these concerns. I apologize if my opinions have come off as a bit harsh, but at the same time I don't change my opinions just to be agreeable. It's totally fine to disagree on this, I still enjoy the Phantom of the Opera, even if I think Phantom is a creep. I have friends who love Twilight and strongly dislike Harry Potter, and we expect each other to poke fun at these things occasionally. We just respect each other's right to like different things, even if we don't understand.
And yes, so far, I have only seen the 2004 film, (well I've watched the play several times but it seemed about the same) but you aren't the only one I talk to about the other versions. My opinion comes from the one I've seen and the plot I've heard of the others, I try to keep my opinion in perspective for things I haven't seen.
I love you, and I love teasing you because you're my little sister, and I will still watch Dancing Charles with you. (😋) I won't promise to agree with you, but that's normal for me.
I'll do my best not to set anything aflame.
(You remember I follow you on here, right?)
