I just hope that the children who like the movie will go to the musical

Just like when watching the Harry Potter movies, as a fan of the original book, I will be harsh on the movie, dissatisfied with every omission, protest against every re-intepretation, this is when I watch the Les Miserables movie, as a fan of the original musical - I'm too brainless, and I know the lyrics so well that I can recite it - a critical eye for movies. Just because the tenth anniversary Les Mis in Concert that I met nearly 7 years ago was too perfect, the interpretation of each character was too perfect, and every song was sung It has been deeply rooted in my heart as a "prototype" for a long time. Since then, every edition, every edition, has been compared with the tenth anniversary by me. Even if it is the same (should say most of it is) the classic twenty-fifth anniversary. Les Misérables, is still ten years old.

Jean Val Jean
Hugh Jackman is generally passing. Colm Wilkinson's Jean Valjean reveals a saintly temperament from the beginning, only occasionally dusted, the bishop is slightly on-demand, the divinity in the character is immediately Appearance, and more like the incarnation of morality. Hugh is different, the appearance determines that this Jean Valjean is rescued from hell-like stumble, carried up, and constantly religiously approaching the standard of God, he is not a saint, he In the face of Javert, there is fear of Cosette falling in love; his significance is to reveal that ordinary people can be sanctified through continuous practice - this Jean Valjean and Fantine, and Eponine are closer.

But Hugh ruined Bring Him Home. Every line feels out of breath, and the deliberate disconnect strongly undermines the song's original (or... Colm Wilkinson's) boundless devotion, fearless self-sacrifice and unfamiliarity. The young man's unselfish love.

So, Hugh's performance greatly made up for the shortcomings of his singing.

Very dissatisfied with the deletion of On Parole and the inner tangle when stealing silverware. A new song is added to strengthen Jean Valjean is a mortal man who is touched by love, but unfortunately he can't sing very well.

Javert
Russell Crowe GO! NO! NO! GREAT! PLEASE tell the producers that he was only chosen because his English bulldog-like appearance fits the description of Javert and maybe Hugo's disdain for the English. Bad voice, great singing Too bad, the performance is just as bad. Star could have shown Javert's inner firm belief in his own values, and was sung weakly by him; Suicide could have fully demonstrated Javert's inner struggle, and he sang without feeling- I just remember myself yawning. The only protagonist that I think is supported by the strength of the accompaniment.

Philip Quast is an insurmountable precedent, starting from the first lyric, a determined, ruthless, hateful but pitiful Javert His clear voice is so exquisite and unforgettable. To watch him, it is also worth watching the musical instead of the movie.

Marius
passed the test. Anyone who has watched the 25th anniversary as long as Marius has a 45-degree look up and changes in his expression. I'm so grateful for the performance of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables! Throw! This Marius can perform and sing, but the bass of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables still disappoints me. However, the shape is still better than the middle-aged and fat Michael Ball, and more Being like "a boy" (and still in love, sometimes overwhelmed and sometimes reckless, not an old-fashioned guy like Michael Ball = =+), is a bargain.

Cossette is the
only one who can go straight to a musical It's a pity that the grown-up Cosette is such a character without character (Amanda Seyfried has tried to add a little thickness to innocent love).

Fantine
Anne Hatheway is very hardworking, very devoted, and the effect is amazing. I dreamed a dream Did not disappoint.

Eponine
Tried but failed...Lea Salonga's On My Own is a walk in the light rain, watching the river glisten, deceivingly sweet with self-deception, and annoyed admitting the reality, very romantic. This version, is the rainstorm, hate More than love. Luckily, A Little Fall of Rain was well done.

Angry over Eponine's failure to harmonize with Fantine in Finale. Perfect in 10th Anniversary! Beautiful! Heavy! Sing

!
A natural leader who is persevering for the ideal, moving forward bravely, and has no time to take care of other people. He has shown an inexplicable reliance on Marius.
-Grand R is the highlight! The movie fully shows that Big R seems to be cynical, but he is equally devoted to the revolution (the aunt who took a chair to build a barricade horse~) expressed his satisfaction. -One
of the beautiful ABC boys has very few shots!
-Drink with me did not expect to give I am very moved.
-Dissatisfied with Gavroch's deleted first paragraph Little People.

Master of the House
Helena and Sasha are just here to have fun! No one is more naughty or naughty than the two of them! They steal the show at those songs.

Ensemble
Look down (prologue) disappointing, At the end of the day average, 2nd Look down is good.

Finale, the heaven situation is in revolution...but logically, it should be in revolution anyway The victims share the joy of unrestrained peace and tranquility. Then who will they kill? Who will the flag be waved against?


Cinematography
-The scene switching is the highlight, the natural atmosphere
-The first half of the film feels that the photography is unique, and the close-up of the singer during the solo amplifies the performer's expression, which is more moving and concentrates the audience's attention - such as What have I done and I dreamed a dream It's a good example. In the second half of the show, I was completely tired of this form of expression... I feel like I'm watching the splicing of the MV.


Jewels are in the front, any challenge is dangerous. Anyway, it passed.
