    their film is amazing, but the success of the film truly lies in the hands of the audience. Every successful movie has appealed to an audience, but one has stood out for many years.

In 1870, when we first meet Christine Daaé played by Emmy Rossum. Christine, a quiet choir girl is practicing her ballet for
