Jean Valjean was sentenced to 5 years in prison for stealing bread to support his nephew, which was added to 19 years for escaping. He finally survived and was released from prison on parole, but he had to live according to the prescribed schedule and become a regulated person, and the crime of hard labor was attached to him forever. His mentality is extremely distorted, and he hates unfair society and unfair laws. He absconded on parole, remained anonymous, worked hard, and finally became the boss, until he became the mayor. At this time, Jean Valjean's world view has been transformed, his understanding of society has been sublimated, and he is full of sympathy for the lower society. The film shows the subtle transformation process of life development through the gathering of feelings between Jean Valjean and the policeman Javert. A hated, fierce and withdrawn Jean Valjean, under the inspiration of Bishop Miliere, became a kind, understanding, lovable and lovable person. Similarly, Javert, a rigid, secular, stubborn, and enemy of the people, was enlightened to his various actions under the influence of Jean Valjean's tolerance, kindness, fraternity and actions. In the nineteenth century, France was a society in which feudal society and capitalist society were transformed. The feudal class wanted to maintain its rule and live a luxurious life, while the vast number of toilers lived in dire straits. The revolution, the continuous replacement of those in power, and the continuous social unrest. It is at this stage that the scene described in the film takes place. The prejudice against prisoners and those who have been released on parole seems to be in sight, and the system implemented in my country from 1949 to 1976 is exactly the same. Javert's arrogant remarks to 24601 (Jean Valjean) in prison aroused extreme grievances in Jean Valjean, just because he stole a piece of bread and suffered such an end, how could he calm down and accept reform , to conform to the existing social and social system? One can imagine how many people in China were full of hatred for society at that time. After a difference of more than a century, how much did their management and understanding of society improve? a process. The 19 years of hard labor did not make him a person who met the requirements of the society at the time. On the contrary, he became a bad person with bad records. After being released from prison, he couldn't control himself and kept doing bad things. Bishop Miliere was the first person to influence him. The bishop's sincerity and indoctrination inspired the primitive conscience deep in Jean Valjean's heart and prompted him to embark on the right path. The film does not describe his transformation process in the past 7 years, but it is conceivable that Jean Valjean will not have a complete transformation of his worldview when he walks out of the house of the leader. It is conceivable that Jean Valjean accepted the silverware and money given to him by the sect master, kept his name incognito, and worked hard. He must have paid more effort than ordinary people. . Accumulate funds little by little, and expand the workshop little by little through your own financial ability, and finally become the boss of the factory. Then, through his own strength, he carried out charitable activities, influenced the society, won wide recognition from the upper class, and finally became the mayor. Jean Valjean stepped into the upper class, but it is still a commoner in essence, which determines his sympathy for the bottom people, support for social change, and finally return to the common people. Jean Valjean's life was rough and extraordinary. Through the ending of Jean Valjean, the film revealed the miserable world of French society in the early 19th century, and it was a very successful work. At the same time, the film also gives us a revelation that no matter how it changes, society is always moving forward. When a person is alive, he always has to make an explanation to the society. He does not demand how much everyone contributes to the society, but he should do more good deeds. The Cosette raised by Jean Valjean represents a whole generation of society. Will this generation tolerate the continuation of Les Miserables? Jean Valjean has lost sight of the future. Today, we watch the film, look back at more than a century of social development, and calmly focus on the evolution of the world today.
