You have hit the spot right where my spirit went in this movie. The music was so compelling and emotionally moving to me i cried so much till i thought i,d forget to come down to reality. To me every duet was sexy to the point my spirit was drained and and off to all the duets because of the love they had for Christine.The Phantoms wanting her for his complete fullfillment for his great love of music was his dream the ending hurt so bad I could not bare any more.Jealous yes but her in the end.

Interesting question. A lot, for me, depends on the actors in the leading roles. I've seen the show a couple of times now, and the movie about as many. First time I saw the show, we had an awesome Phantom, who seemed to understand how to mine the despair of the character - the angel in hell - and it blew me away completely. The Mme Giry and the Christine were strong too, though the Carlotta in that show was painful. But because the leads were strong, it reached in and twisted me up and blew me away. You need strong players for the grand horror of Masquerade and The Point of No Return to really work. In the movie, I thought there was a glorious initial rush, the way they colourised the scene along to the overture and showed the entire community of the opera house, but for me, Gerard Butler had neither a strong enough voice nor a strong enough performance to make the Phantom really matter, and once that was gone, it became a cinematic imitation of the version I'd seen on stage. Sadly the second time I saw it on the stage, the Phantom, Christine, Mme Giry et al, had all changed, and no-one seemed to understand the potential and the power of the piece. Even so, because I've seen what it CAN do on stage, and the film version is set in stone and celluloid, with its failures unchanging and unfixable, I'd have to go for the stage version every time.

Maybe a little bit. I had the impression that it was the Phantom who was jealous. Just before he appeared in the mirror, he was questioning Christine about Raoul. During as well as just after Christine's and Raoul's duet on the rooftop, you could see that the Phantom was jealous.

I would have been really into a sexy duet with him too. I watched that movie thinking the whole time that she would for sure end up with the phantom, what a let down. She definitely had a sexual vibe with the phantom anyway, and ya i think that they did try to portray Raul as jealous.

Yes, Patrick Wilson who played "Raoul," says in the 2-Disc edition special features that during the filming of the scene, he felt a twinge of jealously over "Christine." I believe he mentions that his thought was to the effect of "hey, that's MY girl." So yes, he did admit that this moment was caught on film and used. Takes a while to get to it, but its in the making of sections (they're super long and there are a few of them).

he was for sure jealous i think. The phantom kinda was completely seducing her, what girl wouldn't be a little confused about her intentions?
