love and redemption

If God desires to destroy man, he must first make man mad. This is a sentence from Kafka. I think this is the reality. Just like Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, who stole a piece of bread for his nephew and was sentenced to nineteen years in prison. Reality crushes our confidence like this Broken.

After he was released from prison, Jean Valjean was burdened with the status of a prisoner and was discriminated against by others. However, reality forced him to return to his old ways. He stole a candlestick from the bishop, but the bishop did not blame him, but gave him another candlestick. Under the influence of the kind bishop, Jean Valjean changed his mind and became helpful. This passage is also just as the writer Hugo said, "The ocean is the widest in the world, the sky is wider than the ocean, and the mind of man is wider than the sky." Taking Cosette as his adopted daughter, Jean Valjean reflects this. Humanism, while reflecting the sadness of that era, epitomized the suffering of the lower classes, which stemmed from the oppression of legal customs. The world is not complete, not absolute.

Cosette's mother, Fantine, was a female worker in the Jean Valjean factory. She was pregnant with Cosette but was abandoned by her boyfriend. For Cosette's life, she sold jewelry and even sacrificed her soul to raise Cosette. Fantine's deep love for her daughter can bring tears to your eyes. Javert spent his whole life hunting down Jean Valjean, but found that Jean Valjean was very kind, so he couldn't face the belief that he had insisted on for many years, and chose to jump into the river. Maybe sometimes, we are like the characters in the movie, but the important thing is to rely on our own strength to open up the future, instead of asking for the favor of the powerful.

The world is hot and cold, people may become ugly and greedy, and heroes may emerge in troubled times. Under this background, the leader of the revolutionary youth of Enzola was born. He was handsome and died heroically in the uprising he instigated. No matter what, there is still justice in this world. To die for justice is to die well. I think the bishop is also a humanitarian image. It leads Jean Valjean into the right path, and makes people realize that the power of benevolence is invincible and can affect all cold and numb hearts. This is also a highlight of the film.

After watching the movie, I couldn't help but be moved by the quality of the characters. He made me realize that there is light and warmth in such a dark and cold world! I cannot forget the blood that burned for the revolution: when the revolutionary insurgent Enjolras discovered Javert, the faithful lackey of Dark F, and let Valjean kill him, Jean Valjean loosened his bonds for him and let him go he. What puzzles me is that, when Javert's stalking led Jean Valjean to hide in hiding, why didn't he take this opportunity to get rid of this heinous man? The mystery is revealed at the end of the play: Javert realizes his own fault, realizes that the society where black and white is reversed, the world of indifference and despair, is not what he maintains and loves, and he jumps lonely and desperate under the impact of good and evil. When Jiang committed suicide, I realized that through his fraternity, tolerance, his noble soul, and his humble existence under all sentient beings, he was reawakening the deep conscience of the people living in that miserable world! He firmly believes that this will usher in a beautiful and bright new era.

It may be difficult for us to change others, but we can change ourselves, let our hearts have a bright light, treat everyone around us with kindness and love, and give them more warmth with our hearts, and the world will be full of love. Sunlight.

    3 It is estimated that it is time for someone to discuss the old-fashioned topic of original work and film adaptation.

    After watching the musical no less than 10 times, the singing of this version can no longer be heard. The director kept the musical so completely that the actors completely changed from "speaking" lines to "singing". The effect was very strange. And in order to sing, the camera settings and the performance of the actors have been static, but rather like a stage. How to change from a musical to a movie? This is a question worth thinking about, but the current result is just as blunt and unsatisfactory to me as raw rice.

Les Misérables quotes

  • Gavroche: Little people know, when little people fight, we may look easy pickings, but we've got some bite. So never kick a dog because it's just a pup! We'll fight like twenty armies, and we won't give up! So you better run for cover, when the pup grows...

  • Fantine: There's a child who sorely needs me, Please M'sieur, she's but that high. Holy God, is there no mercy? If I go to jail she'll die!

    Javert: I have heard such protestations, every day for twenty years. Let's have no more explanations. Save your breath, and save your tears.
