The first half talked about Jean Valjean's salvation, coupled with Javert's inexplicably bad but sounding very bad voice, which made the rhythm seem lengthy and a little sleepy. A young couple on the side has been discussing the plot, I really want to give them a "science popularization" first, it makes people feel very anxious.
Until a few young people appeared, the situation finally turned around. I have said before that the most impressive thing about the novel "Les Miserables" is the death of Epany. It is possible that the creators of the musical also find this role to be heartbreaking, and there are several brilliant arias. In the beginning of the movie, the duet between Marius and Cosette was silently sad with Epany on the side. Who do you think you put your emotions on? Even though the love at first sight is sweet, it can't be compared to the hatred and unbearable here. I think that when Epany said that Cosette was a bourgeois, it was acceptable to be a little bit fierce. People who are uneducated and not beautiful, from humble backgrounds, also want to fall in love. In the end, it was through sacrificing his life to get a kiss from the sweetheart. Wow~ I'm going to open up the literary and artistic young women's attributes.
I have never heard a famous musical before. I watched the movie version this time, except for Do You Hear the People Sing and I Dreamed a Dream, which are so popular that they will make a deep impression no matter how they are played, the ones that I most sigh are Red and Black and One Day More. NS. Red and Black is Marius, Enjolras and a group of "Friends of ABC" discussing the situation on the eve of the revolution. Enjolras said that red and black are about the light of revolution and the darkness of reality. He said that the revolution is coming soon, and there are important issues to discuss now. On the other side, Marius was still fascinated by Cosette, who had only seen it, so that he knew that red and black were whether the lover was around, whether he was in his own world. This song sings revolution and love together, making people feel that these two things have a lot in common on the basis of hormones. In addition, the handling of One Day More won my heart. From the nostalgia between Marius and Cosette, to Jean Valjean’s escape, to Epany’s heartbreak, to Javert’s preparation to suppress the revolution, to the desire of all participants in the revolution for a new world and a new life. Just add a sentence like this. I feel quite emotional. It's difficult to do this with other expressions, because the others are too "logical".
The fragments depicting the revolution didn't stand out in many places. Especially there is only one roadblock made up of all kinds of tattered furniture from beginning to end. How to put it, although I also know that the drama may need this kind of expression to highlight a certain point, most of the scenes in the front of the film are still relatively realistic, which suddenly created a bunch of rotten tables and chairs, and then told the audience. This group of people is revolutionizing in such a place, and the revolution can only be guarded by such a pile of rotten tables and chairs, which is somewhat of a drama. Enjolras found that the people they were swearing to defend did not stand by their side in the end. After the roadblocks were captured, the revolutionaries fled to the streets but no one opened the door. This was brutal. In the end, a group of women squatted on the ground to clean up the blood stains, saying that these people were all children cherished by their parents before. I thought to myself, in fact, Chinese people rarely see people describe the revolution in this way.
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables is also quite touching-the problem is. . . Um? Marius just appeared after singing Cosette, and then it was their business. Then you don’t feel pain suddenly when you see Bourgeois beautiful girl? What about your dead companions, your dreams? You are not going to revolutionize anymore, and you want to live with Bourgeois forever? Then why did you go to the revolution before? You can live a happy and peaceful life with her directly.
Reading this book when I was young, I didn't feel that there was a betrayal of revolutionary ideals, nor did I feel that there might be a "turn" in these two things. I only thought that Cosette was a meaningless person, because she was only responsible for beauty and innocence from the beginning, and did nothing. And Marius has gone through so many hardships and twists and turns, he should "live happily with his beloved forever." This is the credit that all the protagonists who have experienced a lot of suffering in the novel can get at the end. I watched the movie today and couldn’t help thinking, who knows, maybe a pure girl like Cosette who "does nothing" is needed. That is the ideal of the revolutionaries, and the happy ending is also the revolution. Our hope for a new world? And this hope cannot be expressed by the victory of the revolutionary war itself. Won the war instead of hope?
Weeping for my dry, thin and stubborn Epeni, and for my high school days when I almost went to a literary youth. Some things don’t come up often and it’s not just forgotten. It’s always there, you don’t have to mention it all the time.
