![]() The book adds many details that aren’t in the movie. Because it was written so long ago and translated from French to English, the book can be a little difficult to understand and a little confounding at times, but if you have ever wondered about the Phantom’s backstory (which is missing from the 2004 movie), the mystery will carry you through. He cites sources that may or may not have existed, quoting ‘real’ people and their ‘real’ journals and letters. The entire book is written from Leroux’s point of view. Whether he existed or not, the Phantom’s haunting story is written in full detail within the novel. Though there was no actual evidence that the Phantom really existed Leroux insisted, even to his deathbed, that he did. The chandelier crash was an actual event that occurred there. Leroux wrote the book around a real opera house. All of the characters from the movie are inside-Christine, Raul, Carlotta, Madame Giry, and, of course, the Phantom-with a few extras that could, obviously, be written out for the film to make it less confusing for the audience. Did you know that the famous musical and movie ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ was first a book? French author Gaston Leroux wrote the book in 1910, and it wasn’t written for the stage or performed until the 1980’s.
