      Les Misérables--The Charm Of Music Movies

      I'd never heard of the musical version before, and I only vaguely recall the original story as a child.The music, scenes, and stories in the movie version are very good, and there are also some moving passages that give people goosebumps. However, as a film's expectations, it is inevitable that there are still some things that are not satisfied.

      First of...

      About English

      This is like what a friend recommended. This is definitely a movie that people who like English will know. When I was learning pronunciation in college, I felt that native speakers were like me when they spoke English. That kind of liaison, stress, rhythm, and intonation was absolutely enjoyable. So, when watching Les Misérables and other...

      【movie review】Why is Jean Valjean Jean Valjean?

      When I first came into contact with Les Miserables, I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I didn't know anything at all, and I ate a novel with a pious heart. Now that I think about it, except for the name of the protagonist and the idea that the famous book is not good-looking, I have no memory left. From this, it can be seen that the little friends should not read the famous novels. They are really wasting time and energy. In the end, they don't understand anything....

      It's all right, let's talk about it

      A young man who was imprisoned for 19 years, worked as a coolie and was bullied by prison guards, became a big entrepreneur and mayor 8 years after he was released from prison. The silverware in the priest's house seems to be inexhaustible. And after he tore up his ID, wouldn't he be a black household?
          He's in jail, he's a prison guard. He became the mayor, he became the local sheriff. Is this the bondage of fate? No wonder after falling in love and killing each other, the two went to...

      let's listen

      The most impressive piece of music in this film is "Do You Hear The People Sing".
      The music appears three times in the film: the first time at the funeral of General Lamarque, when the Friends of ABC rushed into the procession and waved the red flag to light the crowd; the second time was the lead singer of Gavroche when the hearts were weary when the barricades were erected the following morning. Reinvigorated morale; for the third time, in the huge fantasy world written after the death...

      The stylized hand-held + close-up of the face is on trend, but the editing is too fragmented to make the eyes dizzy. For the part of Anne Hathaway, if she is not given an Oscar this year, it will really cause public...

      After the stage play has been changed to a movie, is it possible that the scenery is a little grander, the faces of the actors are enlarged a little, and the camera lens is more flexible? I guess that's not enough. Film is different from stage play, not only in that it has some technical means, but in that it is an art form. But I don't see much of the film that exists as an art form in this film, but it dilutes the good things that the stage play itself...

      1. The story is presented in the form of a musical, the gorgeous lyrics are pleasing, the exciting and soft tunes sing the plot ups and downs, and the ears are endless, and the magnificent picture reproduces France at the end of the 19th world, which is really pleasing to the eye; 2. The performance of the characters is amazing Reward, the shaping of the characters of Jean Valjean and Javert, admire Victor Hugo, and Hathaway, who plays Fantine, is amazing; 3. The tragic world always has an end,...

      I haven't seen the original book and the original musical, so is there any reference to compare. The deepest impression is that Russell sings really tragically. . . Uncle Hugh and Hathaway are okay, so is the young couple. There are some heart-wrenching parts in the plot, but the ending is not as tragic as imagined. Then there is nothing wrong with Jean Valjean and Javert! Sure enough, if you are too persistent in chasing me and hiding, there is a...

    Movie plot

    In Paris in the nineteenth century, poor Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) tried to steal bread for a starving child, and was sentenced to 19 years of hard labor by a full-bodied judge. After being released from prison, the desperate Jean Valjean was taken in by the kind Bishop Miliere for the night, but he stole the bishop's silverware and escaped, and was later captured by the police. The bishop claimed that the silverware was given to...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In order to stay close to the role, Anne Hathaway lost 20 pounds.
    In order to stay close to the character, Hugh Jackman lost 30 pounds and grew a messy beard. The crew shot Jean Valjean in prison at the beginning, so that Hugh Jackman could shave off his beard and return to his normal weight.
    Fantine sold her hair in the film. In real life, Hathaway did cut off her long....

    Background creation

    In 1988, Alan Parker was about to direct a musical adapted from Hugo's novel "Les Miserables". In Parker’s fantasy, this is an original musical. But he then left the crew, and the director of the film was changed to Bruce Bellsford in 1991. In 1992, the film’s producer Cameron Mackintosh announced that TriStar Films would produce the film. Subsequently, the film was stuck in the preparatory stage and couldn't get out of it. In 2005,...

    Negative Evaluation of

    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...
