Question: what is the age difference between the phantom and christine?
Answer: In the movie, the ages are all shifted to be much younger than in the book or on stage. On stage and in the novel, Christine and Raoul are in their 20's, Phantom in his late 40's-50's. Mme. Giry was never Christine's caretaker in the stage musical, and her relationship to the Phantom is never fully explained.
