7/17    Is the Phantom of the Opera Christine Daae's father?  If not, who
        is he?
        \_ He is not Christine's father, her father's dead. The phantom
           is just very ugly, and helped construct the Paris operahouse,
           so he could hide himself in the depths (he has a fake nose that
           lets him go out in public, he just still looks weird). -chialea
           \_ I thought the story was that his face was scalded and he
              wears a mask that lets him go out.
           \_ great, you just ruined the whole movie!
             \_ movie? fear. the musical was already... not the best.

                \_ usually people are referring to the 1925 movie

             \_ hint: Anakin becomes Darth Vader and is Luke's father.
                \_ Nooooo!  That's impossible!
                   \_ Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
                   \_ see this is where we all a major debt to Leigh, she
                                           \_ OWE!  OWE, you imbecile!
                                             \_ it's all that jolt/josta.
                                                \_ don't you mean:
                                                   "it's owe that jolt/josta"?
                      died before the movie was released.
                      \_ Leigh who?
