Goodness, self-salvation and the unbearable weight of life.

Les Miserables, haven't read the original. But I love the Gerald Patillo and John Malkovich versions of the show. 4 parts, each episode is one and a half hours, and the length of more than seven hours allows each character to be fully interpreted and vividly portrayed. I first watched it on CCTV8, and then I downloaded it and kept it on my computer.

At that time, it seemed that I missed the beginning on TV, and I didn't see the bishop's appearance in full. The meaning of the silver candlestick was slowly understood with the plot. The brilliance of the bishop's kindness made Jean Valjean embark on such a difficult path. The way of redemption (although he was not at fault, hey!) - a way called good deeds. This uneven road spreads the brilliance of goodness like seeds.

Javert also completed his self-redemption by dying. This person I hated at first, but ended up fascinated by... John Malkovich's version of him has an Oberstein temperament... He is a conscientious and stubborn man. A paranoid person has only one criterion for him, morality and law, but in fact such a person is not used much by his boss. He is not allowed to do what he wants to do to punish crimes, but he is asked to monitor political prisoners. , even so he did it conscientiously, even when the revolutionaries were persuading them righteously... And in the end, his rock-solid heart was finally moved by Jean Valjean's actions, and he discovered that there was something other than the moral law. Guidelines - Conscience and Forgiveness.

Javert's death also seemed to have a knock-on effect on Jean Valjean, who had nowhere he thought he should be. The character who was like a lifelong enemy contributed to his constant escape and hiding, and also contributed to his life with Cosette. In the later period, many times when I looked at him, it seemed that he was just an odd father, and she was his only true brilliance. In him, there are two unbearable weights of life, one is his own life experience, and the other is his love for Cosette. In fact, there is only one. In fact, I think that the later life experience is more of a deliberate rhetoric to Marius. And such pure, flawless and almost Platonic feelings became heavy and unbearable because they hindered her happiness. I don't know how to comment on his self-sacrifice to the point of being a martyr.

There are many, many others, the students of Fantine, Eponine, Thenardier, Gavroche, Foslois, the abbey, Ginoman, the Revolutionaries...short, powerful, full A story of human nature and reality. Brilliant, true and rich.
