I just watched it for the halo of the famous book. If I was still young, then maybe my understanding of the movie could only go to the level of the story.

A pile of stolen silverware changed the rest of a prisoner's life. The kind old man chose to trust Jean Valjean twice, and this trust finally fulfilled a man who wanted to take revenge on society.

The contradiction of the whole story is that Jean Valjean wants to be a good person, but the police officer Javert always sticks to his past in his own position. From Fantine to the later Cosette, the police officer Javert is like Like a phantom everywhere, he followed Jean Valjean all the way.

But at the end of the film, the police officer Javert committed suicide and released Jean Valjean. I don't understand why I have to commit suicide in order to atone for my past mistakes. If I were Javert, I might still live shamelessly. After all, it's easier to live than to die.

The ending of the movie does not show the final ending of Jean Valjean, Cosette and Marius, but the ending in the book is that Jean Valjean grows old alone in loneliness. The reason is that Marius, a nobleman, heard about Jean Valjean. Arang's past experience, decided not to contact him anymore. This is the real miserable world, and the fixed class thinking is the saddest thing.

    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.

    Javert’s last jump made me feel that it was actually the story of Jean Valjean and his hatred for love; Cosette is like the interdental girl in true blood; the vigorous history has become a street ruffian farce; Aibonin Waiting for the character to disappear for no reason; I can't bear to call it a miserable world. Without the warmth of the cold sun, the harshness of Dongxue is too simple.

Les Misérables quotes

  • Javert: Monsieur, a serious... a grave violation of the public trust has been committed. An inferior has shown a complete lack of respect for the law. He must be exposed and punished.

    Jean Valjean: Who is the offender?

    Javert: I am. I slandered you Monsieur le maire, I'm here to ask that you demand my dismissal.

  • Jean Valjean: Brevet, Lombard, Bertin. Look at me. You recognize me? I recognize you, Brevet. You were an informer in Toulon, I see you're still a snitch.

    Brevet: Valjean?

    Jean Valjean: Hello, Brevet.

    [turns to Lombard]

    Jean Valjean: And you, Lombard, don't look at my fancy clothes, don't look at my scraped chin. Look at my eyes. You called yourself Godless, right? You've got a scar on your left shoulder. I gave it to you the night you tried to kill me, remember? When I pinned you over the stove.

    Lombard: It is you...

    Jean Valjean: Show the court your scar.

    [Lombard bares his shoulder revealing the scar]

    Jean Valjean: Bertin, the hollow of your left arm, there's a date tatooed, 1789, the year of the revolution. Show them!

    [Bertin rolls up his sleave to reveal the tattoo]

    Jean Valjean: I know these men, Monsieur le President, and they know me. I am the man you want. I am Jean Valjean.
