Incorrect details create a mediocre running account

On the sixth day of the Shanghai Film Festival, Wanyu "New Miserable World". This version of "Les Miserables" was prepared by the British and directed by Danish director Billy August. It is part of his personal screening unit at this festival.

We all know that "Les Miserables" is a long masterpiece by French writer Hugo. The plot and characters are extremely rich. On this basis, a new world of sentient beings has been created. However, it is not easy for so many plots and characters to be downsized in a 130-minute movie. If you don't pay attention to the choices, it is easy to lose money, and there is no focus on portraying the characters, which makes the characters pale. And this film has such a problem. After watching the whole film, although the shooting level is professional, the performance of the actors is not problematic, but the plot is too complicated and the audience cannot be impressed. In addition, a French masterpiece made in English by the British and Danes feels a bit strange in itself, just like the Germans speak English in a World War II movie.

The protagonists of the film Jean Valjean and Sheriff Javert are respectively played by the British Liam Neeson and the Australian Jeffrey Rush. Both of them are excellent actors, and they are enough to play these two classic roles. The plot arrangement and editing still pose a challenge to them. Fortunately, their excellent performance and strong aura basically ensure the fullness of these two characters, depicting their respective knots, and finally they are on the Seine River. Can vent and release. Other characters can't compliment, either they are pale and weak, or they have been taken in a stroke, and even the plot seems plain. Cosette and her boyfriend have failed to portray them. One is disobedient and unlovable, and the other is incompetent. It is not the image brought to me in the original work.

However, there are world-famous masterpieces and the detailed skills of the production staff. Even if the details are slightly incorrect, the film is not bad, at best it can only be regarded as mediocre.

It feels that China today looks a lot like France at the time.

    Jean Valjean, who has been a good person for decades, finally watched someone jump into the water, but he could not help him?

Les Misérables quotes

  • Judge: Monsieur le maire, I know you to be a kind man, but this...

    Jean Valjean: A kind? A kind man? When I was in prison I was as ignorant and mean and devious as these men here, but not kind. And I wish I could keep my mouth shut and let this poor wretch suffer for me, but... continue with your investigation, monsieur, you will find further proof that I am Valjean.

  • Javert: [about Valjean] He lies so well, doesn't he? He's had a lot of practice. A lifetime of lies.
