Phantom

the phantom of the opera

I love roses since I was 4 yeras old.
I had always thought that it was because of my mom.
But today, I realize that it was because of the phantom.
He is inside my mind.

There are many phantoms, I guess, inside my mind.
Are phantoms just our sense with no substantial existence?
My phantom, have I met you?
Please guide me.

another thing:
Director Joel Schumacher created a beautiful scene for the beginning of the movie.
He let the old theatre brought the audience back to the past.
'8mm' is another movie by him that I like.
But it is really scary.
