The film pays more attention to the form of expression, but it fails to fully demonstrate the essence of the original work. Compared with musicals, the movie version gets rid of the limitation of the stage, and it is more difficult to reflect the background and characteristics of the original work. In this movie version, although the main plot in the original work is still retained, but due to the deletion of the original musical, the story develops too fast, and the audience has no time to experience the details and reflections, so they hurriedly follow in the continuous singing. The plot moves forward, weakening the understanding of the original work, especially for the understanding of human nature and the power of redemption that Hugo endowed in this work, which is a pity.

This movie is too suitable to be converted into a pan & scan 4 to 3 copy and reinstalled in the Film Archive.

I watched this movie for my new wall freckles. I think the original is better. What should I do? I was a bit fancied by Anne Hathaway, and suddenly I felt so superficial.

Madame Thénardier: [to male customer] I used to dream that I would meet a prince, but God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?
Thénardier: [defensive as others stare at him] What? What?
Madame Thénardier: Master of the house isn't worth my spit. Comforter, philosopher, and life-long shit. Cunning little brain; regular Voltaire. Thinks he's quite a lover, but there's not much there.
[All stare at his crotch]
Madame Thénardier: [pretending to cry] What a cruel trick of nature landed me with such a louse.
[She takes the man's purse while he's distracted]
Madame Thénardier: [suddenly cheering up] God knows how I've lasted living with this bastard in the house!
