watching the complete film, not only is not moved as imagined, but the whole process is completely performed because of the actors’ various performances, and because the director drags the play in insignificant places and is irritable. And because the director deleted important details and was very uncomfortable. Think about it carefully, it must be because the way I watch the film is wrong. How could it be bad for such a tragic and innovative world of literature and art, with a brand-new connotation given to a French masterpiece by a British director! How can you not move people!
First of all, you should do your homework. This is a musical. The purpose of the director is to use the movie set to make a costly and beautiful musical. So don’t be entangled in every paragraph in it is singing and everyone talks nothing. This kind of small problem, if you play a role in a serious scene because of a single sentence, it is because you are not well-trained! Remember, remember. Of course, all the rhythm of the whole film is the same as that of a musical, so all the plots are unfolding, and the main time is to take close-ups of the actors’ faces so that they can express their inner emotions affectionately and fully. This kind of trivial matter. Don't worry about it. The rhythm of this film is so sensational that when I was halfway through the film, I was still immersed in the aftermath of the first episode of the story and couldn't relax for a long time.
The budget is spent on special effects, actors and costumes, so I can’t afford to hire professional photographers, and all shots have a feeling of amateurishness. Everyone should have a tolerant mentality towards the director. It is recommended that you close your eyes throughout the process, ignoring Yan Yi, who can be used as a QQ emoticon by just cutting a picture, and subtitles that make people doubt whether the translator has passed the English Test Band 4. The music itself is still good, and you must know that the actors are not. Professional, it is very challenging to pick up live music, so compared to the original musical, it is understandable that the singing skills are so different.
As for the plot...One of the biggest advantages of this film is the bold innovation of the original. The film tells the story of a convict who was transformed by a bishop, experienced the joys and sorrows of his life, and finally decided to dedicate his life to the cause of the proletarian revolution. As for why Fantine wanted to foster a daughter, why did Marius quarrel with his grandfather, how could he and Cosette go to the ground during the meeting? I had no choice but to die without you. What kind of person is that little boy? Why did he come out of the cement elephant? Don’t care about such inexplicable details. If you don’t understand, just go and see the original work. Director Juju said that he has Enjolras and Ma. Lu Si’s flashy and blind JQ, relaxed and happy innkeeper (the innkeeper was completely whitewashed this time into a funny character that everyone likes to hear, I always think that the seemingly unnecessary hotel song is for the front At least every time the boss showed up, everyone would laugh knowingly. The director had a good intentions), and the cute little Zhengtai (why did he sacrifice that The BGM is so relaxing and joyful? It must be the director Juju, who is afraid that everyone is too sad), and the first literary middle-aged of the show, and his hobby is Sheriff Javert walking on the edge of the wall (yes, the most literary song in the whole film is Javert's beloved monologue), are the other parts important? It's not important at all! Of course, there are still well-shooted pieces. For example, the trumpet of the proletarian revolution in the barricades and street battles is so loud. This must be because of the bold divergence and display of the spirit of the original work, not because there is no singing in this section. Everyone speaks relatively. It's more normal, eh.
Of course, the brightest feature of the whole film is the director’s genius lens. The close-up and close-up shots of the actor's face below the eyebrows and chin for a few minutes accounted for about half of the whole film, which allows people to fully appreciate it. Even the slightest change in the actor's expression, if you are interested, you can download the video, which will definitely greatly expand your QQ expression library. From then on, you will never be said to be boring when chatting on QQ. One of the most memorable shots is a close-up shot of Marius. The director used this shot to fully prove that Marius is indeed an incurable fool. And after Jean Valjean discovered Marius and Cosette's love affair, the camera gave him a shocking elevation angle, allowing the audience to experience the shocking mood with him. As for why it is specifically written in the original work that Enjolras's body, who was still standing after death, turned out from the window and hung upside down, it feels like some accident on the shooting site inspired the director. In the last scene, everyone who turned into souls sang revolutionary songs on the barricades of heaven, sublimating the theme of the whole film to a height higher than the original, giving people a deep shock and touch, and people couldn’t help thinking. Smile knowingly.
I must admit that when I listened to the musical back then, I fully understood why Chirac would be unhappy when the British used this musical to entertain Chirac. It's a shame that the French can't appreciate their own masterpieces that have been innovated and developed by the British, but what makes me even more regretful is that neither can I. If someone said that this film can let people who have never read or are too lazy to read the masterpiece to see the beauty of the masterpiece, I will stare at him brightly and sadly and say a word.
roll!
