Lately, I am hooked with Chinese movies.
I mostly watch fantasy movies, like the story of Wukong and such.
But this one, I was hesitant because I believe everybody has heard of the movie, book and so on of "The Phantom of the Opera".
The plot is like that, there is a burned scared man roaming around the theatre killing people, and there is this beautiful actress so innocent that caught the heart of the director.
Anyways, the twist of the story is a family of acrobats came to the city, did a show for a wealthy soldier because the soldier's son was celebrating his birthday.
The wealthy soldier had one son but had 5 wives already and was interested in having a 6th one the mother of the son caught the eye of the philandering husband. And because of her jealousy locked the theatre with 18 people in it, gassed it and lighted the place with a match and sent everybody in the theatre to hell.
The mother of the birthday boy later on committed suicide due to depression because she couldn't take that her husband would take more wives.
13 years after, the little sister of the acrobatic performer is all grown up and is cast as a leading lady of the director who is the son of the wealthy soldier all grown up as well, crossed paths and their story begins.
And...SPOILERS...REVELATIONS
Revenge is the motive of the the actress and the husband of her sister, for killing their family
Release is the motive the director because he is trying to accept the death of his mother and the infidelity of his father through the movie.
