The Unpracticalness of Phantom of the Opera

I know it's "only fiction" but things like this make me crazy...
1) Where’d the Phantom get his mask? It looks like it’s made perfectly for him. And what holds it up? There is no string!!!!
2) Where’s the Phantom’s toilet?
3) How does the Phantom feed his horse?
4) Where does the horse’s manure go?
5) Where’d the Phantom get his boat?
6) How does the Phantom eat?
7) How does the Phantom keep so many hundreds of candles lit?
8) How do the candle-holding people move at just the right time?
9) Where’d the Phantom get his horse?
10) What kind of bird is the bed modeled after? It looks like a turkey.
11) Where’d the Phantom learn to sing?
12) Why does Christine’s hair flip out when she goes into the Phantom’s lair?
13) Why does Raoul have backwards sideburns?
14) How’d the Phantom get in Christine’s dad’s tomb?
15) How’d the Phantom make the tomb’s doors open and the lights turn on if he was on the roof?
16) Where’d the Phantom learn how to use a sword so well?
17) WHERE DID THE PHANTOM'S HAIR GO AT THE END OF THE MOVIE???!!!!
18) Why do the Phantom's scars get redder as the movie progresses?
It puzzles me, that it does…:eh:

Never seen it but it does seem like it has a lot of flaws...Hmmm...

Well, I didn't read all of them, but for your first question, they're in a theater. He could have gotten it out of the costumes and used some sort of make up or spirit gum to hold it up. (Did they have something like that back then?...)

Hmm... HOS, I think you've watched this movie toooooo many times, my friend. Any normal person would not even get this.
Although it does look very unfinished..

Spirit gum? What's that?
I know they're in a theater, but...that mask is way too complex to be a simple theater prop. It's perfectly fit to his face, that's what makes me go "Oro?"

He is a genius. What do you expect?

lol minna. Lol.
Maybe he used the super glue that they give you in Kindergarten? ^^;;;
I have no idea but there was obviously a hidden prop to keep it on.
Beats me what it was though.

Yeah but it's still confusing me. If anyone has any answers, that'd be great...
Honestly, though, being a genius has nothing to do with the redness of scars, disappearance of hair, or where the horse's manure goes. Does it go in the water??? o_O

Maybe that's why he shrieked at Christine when she ripped off his mask. XD

hahahahaha!
Horse manure in the water? O.o;;; Whoever takes a drink would get a nasty surprise. X.X;;;
Maybe you could try googling and see if you get any results that answer your questions.

I bet Ebay sells stuff for the movie...

I bet they do also. Ebay has everything.

Well it doesn't sell the Phantom himself, so I'm not interested.

That would be weird, and he would be Mine.

He would arrive in a big crate with carrots, lettuce and newspapers.
And SC your right. Ebay
does have everything. And most of it worthless!

I want to buy the Phantom's mask and put it in a safe under my bed and surround my bed with a moat and fill it with rabid pirahnas so that nobody can get to it. X3
Then again, he might come looking for it. O___O

lol.
Glue it to your face over night so no one can take it from you! :3
Heeheehee! ^.^
Or maybe burry it in a Gopher's basement. ^_^
I think you would be digging for a long time though. O.O;;;

I want a mask like that. Only a full-face one.

And why is that?
Just go to a costume store and buy a full-face black mask like Zorro's and paint it white. ^_______^

Hey, I saw a guy in Wal Mart who had purdy scars like Erik-kun. I followed him alllllllll around the store (mostly out of sight) and struggling to hold back fangirl giggles. He saw me a few times and looked at me like I was nuts...X3

I have pondered these questions many times. Glad someone else has noticed them.

I've done that before and even got a "Why are you following me?" From a complete stranger before. And that time I wasn't! ^^;;;
I'm not a stalker, honest. If I see somebody in an Anime costume or something I at least have to give them a thumbs up or a grin to show my approval but almost everytime they think I'm insane. Oh well...^^;;;

lol!
When people are nasty to me when I compliment them it makes me sorry I ever did, but then I just have to walk away because I realize fighting isn't worth it. Maybe I'll try Starfire's advice sometime. Hmmm...
