In fact, I am not very interested in musical movies, and I have not read the original novel, so I planned to avoid this movie, but there are too many bad movies in the same period, plus the movie poster Xiao Luo Li's temptation made me pay to go to the cinema.
The male protagonist of the story is Jean Valjean played by Hugh Jackman. At the beginning of the movie, a group of trackers are dragging a giant ship in the rain. Our male protagonist with handcuffs and anklets growls "look down" while holding the rope and backing away . When the head of the cell contemptuously asked him to move the mast, those blood-red eyes opened angrily, and for a moment I had the feeling of being possessed by a Wolverine, and I wondered if he would pull out his claws in the next second Head shredded. Fortunately, the director didn't make it into a sci-fi film like me, and Jean Valjean obediently did so. He got a parole certificate and regained his freedom, but the head of the prison told him that a thief one day, a thief all his life, he must carry this certificate for the rest of his life, report regularly, and never turn over. . At the beginning of the film, the audience is presented with such an image: Jean Valjean stole a piece of bread in order to prevent his sister's son from starving to death, but as a result, he suffered 19 years in prison. After his release, he was branded as a criminal for life. No one was willing to give him even a place to live. According to the normal development of the plot, after suffering so much injustice, his heart should be full of anger and hatred, and he will avenge the society for his pain. But just then, an elderly priest appeared, provided him with food and shelter, and even excused him after he was caught stealing silverware from the monastery. The behavior of the priest melted the ice in Jean Valjean's heart, let him really let go of his hatred, and his soul was reborn. In the years that followed, the kindness in his heart never left. He rescued his scapegoat, rescued the trapped driver, and raised the children of his female factory workers... When he carried Maris, the beloved object of his righteous daughter, While walking down the dirty sewers, the light of humanity emanating from him illuminates the entire dark world. Maybe the world we face is not always so beautiful, and maybe we will suffer all kinds of injustices in our destiny, but we can choose who we are. The American "60 Minutes" reporter Bradley once interviewed a serial killer in prison. When asked why he killed so many people, the black murderer replied: Because I was born in Brooklyn. It means that the place is a black gathering area, the law and order are not good, and the society is unfair, so it made me like this. Bradley grabbed him by the collar and said: I also grew up in Brooklyn. The influence of the environment is important, but what really determines what a person does is his heart. Anger and hatred will only make people fall into a more painful abyss. Only by learning to tolerate can one gain real liberation and tranquility.
Let’s talk about the villain Javier. In the movie, he hunted down Jean Valjean for several years, but finally gave up the opportunity to arrest him because he was rescued by Jean Valjean. So under the struggle between the dignity of the law and the conscience, He chose to end his life to escape his inner tangle. In fact, objectively speaking, he is a competent law enforcement officer. It is his duty to hunt down fugitives. His behavior is understandable. If it is now, he may still receive various commendations and praises. However, Javier is a small man, and what he has to enforce is a 19-year sentence for stealing bread due to starvation, a law that once a criminal has no chance of reforming. When the law conflicts with basic moral and ethical norms, the law enforcer will fall into the inner torment. Javier is small, he cannot change the entire legal framework and social injustice, he can only execute the law without compromise for the authority of the law, and finally chooses death painfully in the dilemma. The law should have its own lowest moral bottom line. The value embodied by the law is by no means a cold frame, but to create the most basic living space for every member of the society. The system can never be above the basic value of human beings. Otherwise, this evil system will lead people to despair, which will lead to the destruction of the system itself.
The three female characters in the film interpret the three aspects of love: Fantine used to be full of all kinds of beautiful fantasies about love, but the reality is that her lover has disappeared, leaving her alone to raise her daughter, who lost her life. Work, she had to sell her hair, teeth and even her body in order to pay off her debts. When she lay in that coffin-like bed and sang "I dreamed a dream", love was lashed to pieces by the cruel reality, leaving only bitterness. Taste; Apple has always been in love with Maris, but in his eyes there is only Cosette who is in love at first sight, but this woman still connects the two, just for the lover to feel happy, even when her father brings someone over to catch the rival. At that time, she still risked being punished and chose to issue a warning to her rival. When she whispered in the cold rain alone, her heart couldn't help but be moved. Her love is a kind of fraternity of sacrifice and fulfillment; Kesai Te, who used to be the little loli who couldn't hide her angelic temperament despite her ragged clothes, grew into a heart-pounding woman, and her love finally became fruitful. I think what the director wants to say is that Cosette is the embodiment of beauty, she is the driving force that Jean Valjean and Maris are willing to endure, persevere and fight for, she is like a fire The young grass that was born later, in such a tragic world, brought people the courage and hope to move forward. She has always been there, the good things in people's hearts will never disappear, and the world will one day welcome. Come the light of dawn.
