Five film reviews of Les Miserables.

Les Miserables is a French writer Victor? Hugo published a novel in 1862, covering the Napoleonic wars and the following ten years. I brought you some ideas about Les Miserables for you to read.

Reflections on Les Miserables (1)

On the big screen in the mainland, you can see the hard work of non-professional opera singers for nine months. You can see the story of encouraging people to stand up and fight with sacrifices instead of cheating ignorant people with intrigue. You can hear classic music and songs that have been popular for decades, and you don't bother to ask too many questions.

This version of Les Miserables was nominated for best picture at this year's Oscar, but Tom? Hope was kicked out of the competition for best director. The reason is obvious.

Does his work focus on music gold medal producer Cameron? McIntosh's Imperial edict brought the English version of Les Miserables, which premiered in 1985 and swept the world, to the big screen with exquisite composition. For example, the scene where Fantine appeared, the scene of two rows of female workers singing on the screen, was quite stage-like; When the protagonist sings solo, the light hits him, and everything around him is dim and fuzzy, which is very theatrical. Jean Valjean and Javert (inland subtitle translation: Javier) met several times and ran away. Their explanations were simple and repetitive, just like letting two people stand on the stage. There is also street fighting. Although this scene reflects Paris' opposition to the Bourbon uprising, which lasted only a few days, the film only shows dozens of soldiers with a few small guns fighting with a dozen young students through simple roadblocks. It's okay to act like this on the stage, but as a movie, it seems very casual.

But what about Tom? Hope still made some attempts. For example, he takes care of the audience sitting on the top of the mountain who can't see the actor's expression, and often points the camera at the actor's face, so that Hugh? Jackman's nose skin is shaking, Annie? Hathaway can see her throat clearly when she sings. Hope seems to be addicted to this expression, putting the camera there to let the protagonist sing to the end, and occasionally making a gorgeous 45-degree angle. As the actor's singing gets louder and louder, the lens is often pulled into a panoramic view, followed by close-ups, and so on. Fans who are obsessed with technology may be bored, but it is undeniable that it is effective in emotional incitement for most ordinary viewers. The boldest thing Hooper did in this play was to let non-professional opera singers sing while performing and listen to the live broadcast. Since we want a few non-professional opera actors to give up their best performance form and speak dialogue, it is better to do it thoroughly and help these actors make up for their lack of singing skills with expressions and body performances. Annie. Hathaway got a lot of points for this, but there were also some gaffes, such as Hugh? Jackman "sings" the dialogue in a low voice with a tenor, and his voice is not as strong as when he sings a treble, and he doesn't even go out of tune; Another example is Russell? The PO P sung by Krona was put into this musical. Although he plays the characters well, he only returns to this world when he really "speaks".

Are you saying that Tom wants to have so many problems with movies? There is no denying that Les Miserables is still a touching, charming and powerful movie! Especially for the audience in Chinese mainland. On the big screen in the mainland, you can see the hard work of non-professional opera singers for nine months. You can see the story of encouraging people to stand up and fight with sacrifices instead of cheating ignorant people with intrigue. You can hear classic music and songs that have been popular for decades, and you don't bother to ask too many questions. The spiritual strength from the original work and the charm from the musical make this movie that can be criticized everywhere sit on your chair like a magnet, and your heart is excited and your eyes are full of tears.

Reflection on Les Miserables 2

The story background of the film takes place from 18 15 to 1932, with a time span of 27 years. Hey? Joan was arrested for stealing a loaf of bread for her hungry aunt and nephew, but failed to escape from prison while serving her sentence and was finally imprisoned for 20 years. 18 15, ran? Jean was finally released on parole, but was rejected because of his identity, and was finally rescued by Bishop miriam. A few years later, he became a factory owner and mayor under the pseudonym of Madeleine, but he met Javert, a police officer who had been chasing him for many years. On the other hand, ran? Joan also met Fantine and promised to take care of her daughter Cosette. All these sorrows, pains, misfortunes, helplessness, anger and despair are intertwined. Until finally ran away? Jane purple is dead.

If you don't like friends who listen to musicals, think carefully before watching movies. Although compared with musicals, movies have pictures, emotions, States and environments, as a very long movie, it is estimated that it will take 2 hours and 40 minutes, and most of the time it is singing. Although the actor's handling of singing is very appropriate. If you are unfamiliar with novels or musicals before, you'd better look at the lyrics, or you will easily get aesthetic fatigue if you don't understand what to sing. Sometimes, I feel a little embarrassed, because there is really nothing to say.

Reflection on Les Miserables 3

Les Miserables movies and novels feel very different. At first, the prisoner's song "Look Down" was used, and the whole movie was also expressed in the form of singing. The content in the film is slightly cut, some places jump too fast, the feelings change greatly before and after, and the sense of logic is not strong.

As far as I am concerned, the song "Look Down" which impressed me deeply appeared twice. The first time was the opening title, sung by prisoners, and the second time was sung by people on the streets of Paris. In fact, when I first heard this song, my inner touch was not too great. Because prisoners are inferior in my cognition and live a miserable life without dignity and freedom. I can understand their singing "Look Down", and it is also in line with their status and situation. But the contempt of the people in Paris deeply touched my heart. When I heard bow my head, bow my head, and be merciful if I can, my heart was shocked. People's lives have reached the point where they need to beg others to look down on them. Not waiting to see, but looking down. Besides, others may not read it. The next sentence is also a heavy blow, look down, look down on your male compatriots. This song of the people of Paris is not for foreigners, but for compatriots. Compatriots, sons and daughters of the motherland. There is a word in China called female compatriots, who are connected by blood and have deep feelings. Although this compatriot was not born by the same mother, we all belong to the same country, grew up in the same land and looked up at the same sky. Why do some brothers and sisters need to look up to others for mercy in such a humble position, or even just take a look?

The confrontation between Jean Valjean and Javert after Fantine's death in the film made me think. Jean Valjean swore that he would come back on time and asked Javert to give him time to save Cosette. Javert, however, believes that a man like Jean Valjean cannot change his nature. In Javert's eyes, prisoners or people who used to be prisoners are all guilty people. He guarded them and kept them in his heart, just like China tattooed the prisoners' faces in ancient times. Javert has an obsession with the law and the imprisonment of prisoners that I can't understand.

In this confrontation, Jean Valjean emphasized that he only stole some bread, and Javert replied that it was his duty to uphold the law. Jean Valjean continued to refute Javert's ignorance of the world, and Javert replied that Jean Valjean had no right. This paragraph is worth thinking about. From Jean Valjean's point of view, in order to make a living, he had to do something illegal. He is just a nobody struggling at the bottom of society. Out of sympathy, we will think that Jean Valjean should not be arrested, or should not suffer so much for it. From a rational point of view, from the perspective of law and responsibility, illegal acts must be investigated. So Javert's persistent pursuit can be explained. I think legal and moral issues are essentially social issues here. Because the situation was turbulent, the society was chaotic, and the people's lives were not guaranteed, in this case, the behavior of small people could only be described and explained by being forced to make a living. When society can't give people a certain guarantee, moral problems can only be empty talk. Food is the most important thing for people, and the most basic condition for people to survive is to have something to eat. Only by living can we think about how to live. Unless he has a high ideological consciousness and spiritual pursuit. But this is almost impossible for a small man. So Jean Valjean said Javert didn't understand how cold the world was.

Javert really doesn't understand? I do not think this is necessarily the case. Javert himself said that he was born in a slum and was used to people like Jean Valjean. Javert actually knows these criminals and the bottom people very well. He knows their lives and struggles. He may have had sympathy and pity for these people, but I think he probably didn't. This is how he grew up. He hates this life from the bottom of his heart. These people, he wants to get rid of them. He hates poverty, and he hates the crime and evil it brings. So he yearns for light and justice and is determined to stick to the right path. His past experience tells him that these people are hard to get rid of evil, so take good care of them and don't trust them. Javert was right to some extent. If Jean Valjean had not been influenced by the bishop, he would have been a dangerous man. Experienced many hardships, the struggle of others will be looked down upon, that is, the old people always like to sigh that this is life when they hear people and things full of hardships. Javert's view on the necessity of prisoners is that they are unfortunate, born this way, and can't get any rights. In Javert's mind, law is the only salvation, and obeying the law can safeguard society. From this perspective, there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, and the law is his lifeline. Because of this, the law became the last straw to crush him.

There is another interesting question that can be extended here. Should we trust prisoners or people with criminal records? Looking at this work alone, it is easy for us to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the bottom people for squeezing each other, and the social trust is extremely low. But ask yourself, will you trust a prisoner and dare to get along with him without any bad feelings? At least I can't. People always judge a person by his past. As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change his spots. Few people don't know the lessons of this ancestor for thousands of years. We don't want to easily believe that a person will change, especially a sinner will change.

In the final analysis, all the problems in the film are human nature problems. Whether the world is good or bad is defined by people and also caused by people. The tragic world is a reflection and torture of human nature.

Reflection on Les Miserables 4

Just three days after the Oscar ceremony, Les Miserables, which won the Best Supporting Actress Award and the Best Film nomination, was released in China, meeting the needs of fans. This film is directed by Tom? Hooper's new film is adapted from the musical of the same name. The audience was moved by the wonderful music and lyrics of the film and the compassionate plot. The average score given by the audience is 85.

Loyal musical, the dialogue is less than 5 minutes.

If there is no musical of the same name in front, Hugh? Jackman and Annie? Hathaway's Les Miserables is likely to sweep all the major awards at this year's Oscars. The previous films of Les Miserables were all born out of Victor. Hugo's original work is different, Tom? The overall content of the film directed by Hooper is almost the same as that of the musical. 158 minutes of film dialogue is less than 5 minutes, and the rest are all composed of actors singing. For music lovers, this arrangement is quite enjoyable, but ordinary audiences need time to adapt. Among the many songs in the film, there are not only the sad department of "I once had a dream", but also the grand styles of "Did you hear people singing" and "One more day". All the songs in the film are from musicals, only Ran? Jean sang "Suddenly" when she picked up Cosette as a child, which was very original, and this song was also shortlisted for the best original song at the Oscar.

The main role of this film is only to play Samantha in Eponine? Bacchus is the same actor in the musical (most of the extras are from the musical), and the rest are "learning now and selling now", but under the wonderful music arrangement, even the worst singer Russell? Crows (such as police officer Javert) sound acceptable. Tom, who won the Oscar for best film and best director for The King's Speech, of course? Hooper is also skilled. The opening of the film is a scene of "looking down, looking down", 1832 Paris Uprising, Javert and Ran? Jean's excellent scene scheduling ability can be seen in several chase scenes.

The performance was full of passion, and Fantine made people cry.

Anne is undoubtedly the best actress in this film? Hathaway sang "I had a Dream", in which she vividly showed Fantine's bitter memories of the past and her desperate expression of the future. Even though there is a gap between singing skills and professional musical actors, with the blessing of beautiful melody and full acting skills, the hormone index of the members of the viewing group is still rising, and many viewers are moved to tears by the performance of this mirror. Annie's scenes in the whole movie add up to no more than 20 minutes, but her breakthrough performance of pulling teeth and cutting short hair and her down-and-out makeup still won her the Oscar for best supporting actress.

Hugh? Before Jackman became popular in Hollywood, he won the title of the best opera singer in Australia with Sunset Boulevard. Even so, he put a lot of effort into the musical. Whether it was the beginning of his fall in prison or his role as Ran? Gene's epiphany after being pitied by the priest and his confession before his death have made the audience who are only familiar with the role of Wolverine feel refreshed. Among other actors, Amanda? Cosette and Eddie played by Szeifrid? Maryse played by Redmeni accurately interprets the concept of golden couple, Sasha? Byron? Cohen and Helena? Bohan? Carter's gag about Thenardier also made people admire the director's success in casting.

Reflection on Les Miserables V

Since watching the movie Les Miserables last week, my mind has been greatly shaken. The more I think about it, the more angry I get, and I can't calm down.

After my analysis, they are actually not wrong? Jean Valjean stole a loaf of bread lest his nephew should starve to death. Javert is a policeman, but he enforces the law fairly and demands that he be brought to justice even if he is wrong. Fantine is desperate to make money in order to keep her daughter alive. However, it is worth pondering why Les Miserables is so tragic and why the relationship between several important figures is so tangled.

The first is occupation and status. At that time, society was divided into upper class, that is, rich people such as nobles and mayors; Middle-class society, that is, law enforcers and hotel owners, can live well in society without being rich; The lower classes, that is, slaves, criminals and some poor people, are regarded as coolies and can be abused at will. Jean Valjean and Javert were both born in slums. However, Jean Valjean stole bread because of hunger and poverty, and then he was caught and made a slave for 20 years. After he was released from prison, he turned over a new leaf and became a member of the upper class. Javert, on the other hand, saw the unfair treatment in the slums and became a policeman, enforcing the law fairly. However, because of his professional relationship, he has been chasing Jean Valjean, who only stole a piece of bread to survive 20 years ago. Fantine, on the other hand, was at the bottom of the society and was forced by the middle-class hotel owner to go out to earn money to support her daughter, but she never saw her again until her death.

Secondly, negative emotions and social moths. Just like Jean Valjean thought that God had abandoned him and society was unfair, so he would steal money from the priest's house to give him food and a place to live. Just as Javert saw the criminal Jean Valjean, he was really disgusted. He didn't call his name, just called him 2406 1. After 20 years, he didn't give up chasing this fugitive. Fantine did a good job in the textile mill, and there will be no follow-up events. However, because his colleagues were jealous of his beauty, they falsely accused her, were expelled from the factory, and had no source of income. In order to support her daughter, she worked hard to make money, and it got worse and worse. There are also social moths like hotel owners who cheat, forge and have no humanity. It is such a person who can't be killed if he stays in society for a long time, which will make the whole society filthy.

In the final analysis, it is the attitude of superiors and the non-resistance of the people at the bottom. The upper class aristocrats feel very comfortable. Every day there are people around waiting to make money for you, and you can't find the root of the problem. Even if they find out, they won't try to correct it. They'll feel good. The people at the bottom are used to being oppressed and afraid of the authority at the top. There is no voice to organize the people against power and darkness. Think about it. If there is a voice, I don't believe that the superiority of the upper class can last long. After all, the upper level is supported by the hard work and farming of the people at the bottom!

Although I only watched half of Les Miserables, these thoughts and feelings are rooted in my mind.
