Because the novel Les Miserables is listed in the famous series, and the name of Hugo appears in the Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools for many years, it always fails to arouse my enthusiasm for watching. A little curious, I went to the cinema in time for the tail end of the cinema line.
Interestingly, the final result was that my roommate rubbed and rubbed the skin during the whole screening, and I was ready to focus on the plot. Therefore, not everyone can enjoy the form of musicals. Even fans of the original novel have difficulty concentrating in the process of replacing the lines with a series of lyrics. It can only be said that watching such a movie must first be a bit of literature and art in the direction of music. feelings.
From the perspective of the plot, it is not easy to condense a long masterpiece into such a complete story, but for those who have not read the original work, it has indeed created a slot because of the deletion. Like how did Jean Valjean go from fugitive to mayor? For example, he has been hiding for more than ten years, but why does it seem that he has always met the police officer who was chasing him, as if he had not left in a city? Another example is that his so-called secret residence in the latter part was easily found by sister Eponine, but the police officer who had been chasing him for more than ten years still couldn't find it?
But the slight slot does not affect the overall look and feel, and the story is still as magnificent and profound as it is romantic. Looking at it, I suddenly wanted to say that Mr. Hugo is indeed a master of literature. He integrates his personal destiny and reflects on this kind of thing in the context of the revolution. There is no sense of preaching and no life-threatening praise. When I am a Pisces holding a tissue, I am afraid of the fate of the protagonist in it. I cried so miserably that when my rhinitis broke out, I found that the master's abuse of the characters was really called with love. It seems that everyone follows the environment and trajectory, tragically, but not deliberately. Although I did have tears in my eyes, it was mostly because of shock and feelings.
The film weakens Jean Valjean's personal experience. According to his roommate, the first is how he struggled from a fugitive to a mayor, and just after a series of "8 years later" subtitles, he has already jumped from a dirty ghost to a successful person. And then the passage of a group of young students leading the people's uprising is even more overwhelming and becomes the central support of the story. And this short-lived revolution is indeed warm-blooded and sincere. Because it is full of young people's impulse and passion, it is also reckless and regretful. Impressively, the students' uprising lasted only one day, and the following day the masses of people behind them withdrew en masse, leaving them bustling against the repressing army. When the injured students were desperately knocking on the residents to ask for shelter, people just hurriedly closed the windows again.
Jean Valjean interspersed in this paragraph, the main goal is to rescue the teenager who was attracted by his daughter at a critical moment. And that lucky boy Marius and the two girls in his life have become a story that has to be told. One is Jean Valjean's daughter Cosette, and the other is Eponine, whose unrequited love for Marius is fruitless. If Cosette's role is mainly used to look at beauty, Eponine seems to be telling everyone what true love is. Helping the sweetheart to find the residence of the rival, sending letters to his lover for the rival, and finally watching the two express their heartfelt heartfelt feelings to each other, while he silently confided in the rain that no one was listening, said I love you to Marius' back, and finally He blocked a shot for him without any regrets and died in his arms. Apart from being loved by her parents in her childhood, she has never been happy as an adult. All she wants is to be by the side of her sweetheart. When he wants to go to the battlefield, she puts up her hair and military uniform to accompany him on the line of fire.
Because of the genre of the musical, it is essential to talk about the film is the musical part. As a non-professional audience with some musical feelings, the performance of each actor is already remarkable, and some film critics feel that it is too harsh to compare them with Broadway or professional musical actors. After all, this is a movie in the end, and the movie also needs vision. Seeing the director loves to push close-ups so much, you know how severe the test of acting skills is. If a group of people have to pay equal attention to their acting skills and singing, it is inevitable that people will want to spit out words like "you are amazing, you go". When I saw a short comment criticizing Anne Hathaway's I dreamed a dream like a cat howling, I felt that it was too careless. I have no way of calculating how long the close-up and long shot lasted. The emotional fullness and explosiveness of the whole scene is understandable. The difficulty of the long shot is that the middle actor is distracted for a second, and the director will say, "Why don't you start over?". And Anne Hathaway's performance is coherent and smooth, and it can be regarded as heartbreaking if not earth-shattering. Before the movie was released, her rendition version was expected by many people, and for me, the actual version has not been disappointed.
Personally, in the whole film, my favorite is "Do you hear the people sing" at the end. I have always been unfamiliar with things that exaggerate revolutionary feelings, and the sacrifices of the students in the film are indeed fearless. It was too naive, but the chorus at the end sounded again, and I couldn't help but burst into tears. Everyone stood on the ruins, the red flags were flying, all of them were so handsome, and the lyrics fit the mood so well that after the end of the film, no one left the audience, and a strange girl beside her must have a cold and put on a mask. Like a spring, I had to take off my mask and keep wiping away my tears.
Such is the power of music in film, touching a poetic point in one's heart, stirring emotions, and you can think of far more than it seems to tell you.
And another deep feeling this film gave me is that the best place to watch the movie is still in the cinema. Whether it is a giant screen or sound effects, the atmosphere created is not comparable to a small computer at home. When I was an undergraduate, there was a teacher who played Mrs. Bellon in class. The screen in the classroom is already big, but the poor sound effects are still speechless. It feels like several long centuries have passed. If the miserable world where all kinds of sayings are boring and uninteresting and difficult to put in, and the same lines are all singing, if they are still hurriedly swept by many people on the computer, the ending can be imagined.
As for the cinema effect, I personally agree with the opinion mentioned by an old lady who has taught film in the United States for more than 20 years. She insists on showing films in the theater of the academy in class, saying that you must know that every film maker is in When making a movie, the sound and picture configuration envisaged is all set for later screening in cinema. She said that what you watch on a computer is not "cinema", "film is made for cinema, not for your computer screen, or your iphone."
Although many people will raise various practical issues such as economic constraints and reality to this point of view Conditions are limited, but when a good movie appears in the theater and has the conditions to watch it, but still prefer to watch it online, it is also contempt for the filmmaker to a certain extent. But having said that, most of the people who struggled in the Celestial Dynasty can only view the movies through the Internet and computers. In a sense, it is also another miserable world.
