Four and a half stars in the first half, two and a half stars in the second half

(Notes after the screening, unwritten)

In order to swipe the big screen to see the first half, the second half keeps rolling his eyes as when watching at home. Before Cosette grew up, Castiglione’s acting skills were still pleasing to the eye; afterwards, I felt that the director was preconceived.

The characters were written as idiots and bastards, to set off Jean Valjean's Gao Daquan, and finally the suicide scene was gratified and the set completely collapsed-if it was true Jean Valjean, he would definitely jump into the river to save Javert. There is also the inexplicable "I love her", Hugo's coffin board can't hold it down.

August's idea is good. The original Hugo is too huge, if you don't have enough strength to show all the branches intact, it will be fine if you cut it down. The film is... hard to say.

The performance of the actors and actresses is very good, the character presentation is okay, but the motivation of the characters does not make sense. Javert should be the kind of person who wrote most: ashamed of being born so paranoid. He is full of law and morality, but only to satisfy his own "desire for justice."

One must never meet such a person in one's life. The collapse of the self-stance stems from being an enemy of others for a lifetime, but in the eyes of others, it is unremarkable.

    8 points, the miserable world starts here, Liam Neeson!

    The rhythm of the film is well grasped. The length of 134 minutes is not enough to show the magnificent picture of Hugo, but the main body is still grasped. Even Mnison's makeup is not good. After 20 years, his appearance has changed very little. In his impression, Jean Valjean should be a 60 or 70-year-old man behind him, and even Mnison looked like a middle-aged man.

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.
