Just watching this movie.

The sense of picture and music in this tragic drama are very good, and the character creation of Jean Valjean in it is very typical, and the film can shock people. In the process of watching, I always thought that Jean Valjean would definitely die in the end, but I didn't expect the movie to adapt the ending of the novel so that the protagonist was freed from death, which somewhat reduced the tragic color. But there are still places where the film touches tears.

Jean Valjean, such a kind-hearted person, has been chased by the policeman all the time. Halfway through it, he really felt that the brain of such a broken policeman was kicked by a donkey, and he was hopelessly rigid. . The uncle is still accompanied by Loli, and little Cosette is very cute. He likes it when he sees it. When he grows up, Cosette is also very beautiful, but he is more willful. Although it may be because of the adaptation of the movie, but I have to say that Marius is really a super scumbag, and even if he went to the so-called revolution by himself, he had to drag Cosette and Jean Valjean into the water. , It's too self-sufficient, and in the end, he killed everyone, but he still lives well, and it's the most uncomfortable to see this guy. . . This part is so badly changed that Marius looks like a rascal. . .

And there was that Javert policeman, with an expressionless face and a wicked look on his face, who really thought that Jean Valjean should have killed him several times. . . A full-fledged sexist, after learning ancient Chinese philosophy, when he saw him, he thought of Xunzi and Han Fei. . . However, after watching the movie, he actually made me feel that his image was incomparably tall, which was so unscientific. In the end, because he thought he couldn't keep his faith, he released Jean Valjean and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. This completely subverted the first half of the Duan's opinion of him.

In addition, in the contest between Javert's evil nature and Jean Valjean's goodness, there is no doubt that in the end it was Jean Valjean who finally won the victory. Javert firmly believed that a wicked man was a wicked man. , but Jean Valjean was a wicked man of good deeds, a convict, but sympathetic. Both kind and helpful, kind-hearted, complaining with virtue, turning hatred with anger, emphasizing pity and not revenge, would rather destroy oneself than destroy the enemy, rescue those who have beaten him, kneel before the high god of virtue On the altar, beyond the mundane, close to the angels. The existence of Jean Valjean also subverted Javert's worldview. He had to admit that this monster does exist! It is precisely because of this that Javert embarked on the road of suicide. From this point of view, Javert was completely defeated by Jean Valjean; but from the portrayal of the film, the audience saw that at the end, Javert actually untied Jean Valjean. Agen's iron rope, and clasped him in his hands, said to Jean Valjean, "You are free!" and then fell down into the Seine. At this moment, he also subverted our world view, even enough to capture With the heart of watching the heart, he jumped for a lifetime, making people sigh and

see the end, maybe think that the movie is not a tragedy, the protagonist has regained his freedom, and faced the setting sun of Paris with a wry smile; but in another sense, Look, the movie is still a complete tragedy. Jean Valjean, a good-natured person, saw Javert commit suicide in order to make an exception to release him. This was not what he wanted to see. Even the trial of the scapegoat to wash away his grievances is unacceptable. Can he accept the fact that he is asked to face such a fact? We should also see it in the wry smile of his being freed; from Javert's point of view, the ending is even more tragic for him. He spent his whole life taking the capture of Jean Valjean as his highest goal, but when he finally caught it, he was unknowingly infected by him, and he suddenly found that it seemed that it was meaningless to capture Jean Valjean. , and finally fell into a situation where the worldview collapsed. It is no wonder that after watching the film, I suddenly feel that Hugo's closing poem has become a description of Javert and Jean Valjean:
He rests in peace. Despite the ill-fated,
he still survived. Without his angels he is dead;
things happen naturally, as night falls and day sets
