"Les Miserables" is a novel by the great French writer Hugo. The novel was conceived for 40 years and published in 1982. It is one of the most famous novels of the 19th century. The main line of the story revolves around the journey of the protagonist, the released criminal Jean Valjean (Jean Valjean), trying to atone for his sins, and integrates French history, architecture, politics, moral philosophy, law, justice, and religious beliefs. The novel has been adapted into musicals, films, television and animation successively, and its impact on the world cannot be explained in a few words. When the story was remade into a movie, I paid a lot of attention to this movie. I have watched several of the first trailers half a year ago, and I am also looking forward to the release of the film. However, when the film was released in the United States, the metacritic score on Rotten Tomatoes was much lower than that of "Tiago Unleashed" at the same period, which still shocked and disappointed me, but I felt good after watching it. Of course, you don't need to care about the ratings of the media. If you are too obsessed with the original novel compared to the previous musicals, you may still be a little disappointed. Comparing films and novels is still different in terms of expression. The background of the film's story took place from 1815 to 1932, which spanned 27 years successively. Jean Valjean was arrested for stealing a loaf of bread for his nephew's child, who was dying of starvation. He tried unsuccessfully to escape from prison while serving, and was eventually imprisoned for 20 years. In 1815, Jean Valjean was finally released from prison on parole, but was rejected because of his identity, and was finally rescued by Bishop Miliere. A few years later, under the alias Madeleine, he became a factory owner and mayor, only to meet Javert, a police officer who had been hunting him for years. On the other hand, Jean Valjean also met Fantine and promised her to take care of her daughter Cosette for her. All this sadness, pain, misery, helplessness, anger, and despair blend together. Until the death of Jean Valjean in the end. If you don’t like listening to musicals, you should think carefully before watching a movie. Although the movie has pictures, emotions, state and environment in it compared to musicals, as a super-long movie, it is estimated to be 2 hours and 40 minutes. , and most of the time is singing. , although the actor's handling of singing is very appropriate. If you don't know novels or musicals before, it's best to read the lyrics, otherwise it's easy to get aesthetic fatigue if you don't understand what to sing. Sometimes I feel a little embarrassed, because there are really few words that are said. This movie is to put the musical on the screen, replace the dialogue with singing, and a song appears in almost a few minutes. Movie watching music is undeniably beautiful, and the familiar songs make people intoxicated in music very early. Someone once told me that when I watched this musical before, I was often attracted by the music and ignored the content in the play. This time I finally officially understood the meaning behind the story. The adaptation of the film is actually to visualize the musical. In fact, it has not changed much, it is quite satisfactory, and it is very faithful to the original musical. This is really similar to director Tom Hooper's previous work "The King's Speech" - a very neat work. The film's art direction, makeup, costume design, photography, visual effects and sound mixing are all quite impressive. The sound mixing process is also very good. There are several choruses, and each person's lyrics and melody are different. The mixing has well adjusted the previous strength changes of different singers, and it fits the state of the movie screen. In general, the look and feel is still very enjoyable, it is highly recommended, and good-looking and good-sounding movies are rare. However, the film was adapted from the musical of the same name, and many novel plots were deleted, so that many details were not explained. Of course, the main line of the story has not been changed, the content is clear, and other parts complement each other, but for audiences who love drama films, it may be a little imperfect. There are a lot of singing parts in the film, so you can't help humming along with the characters of the film while watching the film. As a tone-deaf I am somewhat tested.
