1000 comments on 5 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)

This is a rare collision with world famous works since I was a child. Facts have proved that true masters are irreplaceable and difficult to surpass.

In the process of watching Les Miserables, the three-hour plot immersed me in a historical atmosphere. Poverty and rank, revolution and freedom, life and death, kindness and love. The accumulation of words can actually cover the simplest truth and the widest coverage. This is the classic, which is the sublimation of the master's effect on words.

What moved me most about this story was the author's moral ideal, a spiritual molding of "reporting evil with good, being selfless and fearless" to the characters.

Jane. Jean developed the goodness of human nature to the extreme, which is close to the spiritual realm of a religion. This kind of good for evil and selflessness and fearlessness are the basic individual qualities that make society an ideal society. The ideal of capitalism and the ideal of the Republic of China are based on public ownership and citizens' extremely high moral and spiritual quality. At the same time, the reason why capitalism or utopia is called an ideal society also stems from unrealistic moral ideals. Because it violates people's basic desires and satisfaction, that is, it violates human nature.

Even higher than ordinary animals, people's basic needs make it impossible to become the absolute king of the spiritual world. I don't think the material level is absolutely decisive to human nature. The selfishness of human nature stems from insecurity, and it is not a very high material level that can solve this anxiety in people's hearts. Because human beings are actually very small, in the vast space, the smallness of the earth is almost negligible. Therefore, no matter what level of productivity develops, no one can be absolutely sure of his safe and stable life. Facing the unknown nature and unknown others, the self-protection consciousness of human nature determines their selfishness and differentiation. Therefore, absolute materialism can only be an ideal society, and absolute selflessness can only be the imagination of moral realm. This is why religion and philosophy can only be constructed at the spiritual level, but it is difficult to become the standard of human exercise.

But even so, we can't give up the pursuit and approach to this ultimate moral ideal. Because we all know that this is beauty, and the pursuit of beauty itself is a virtue. Perfection itself is an ideal, but the desire for perfection is the basic principle of human behavior. So human beings will be troubled by some shortcomings, or they will know that they can't do it.

Strive to practice wisdom and put an end to greed and ignorance. The cultivation direction of religion determines an ideal state of human beings to some extent. So religious spirit is often pure and safe.

Sometimes I have to say, although we are faced with a lot of impossibility, helplessness and frustration. Although we know that the situation determines our behavior and soul. But fortunately, the soul still has great elasticity, which is possible. So what the body can't achieve can rely on the soul and spirit. As long as the ideal does not die, the meaning of life will always exist. It has nothing to do with the universality and feasibility of the ideal realization, at least we have such a flame in our hearts, and we can warm even one or two people with our heat. This is also strength. If you practice, you will get something, and if you get something, it will make sense.

Just like the narration at the end of the movie: He rested in peace and let Jean die happily because he really lived. He dedicated his energy, his love and his virtue to a person and saved this person from a tragic situation. When this man came into the world, he died. Just as the day disappears, the night comes.

Yes, as long as you are really alive, there is nothing unhappy. Happiness must be created by yourself. Happiness is a virtue.

Reflection on Les Miserables 2

18 15 65438+ In early October, D- town in southern France. A stranger with a bald head and a beard, with a cloth bag on his shoulder and a thick stick in his hand, knocked on Bishop Bienvru's door. On this day, he has walked twelve leagues, and he was insulted and threatened along the way. The night wind in the Alps pierced the hole in his underwear and came at him from all directions. He has a yellow ID card (a parole certificate with a criminal record at that time), a deposit of 109 francs, and a soul writhing in pain and hatred.

Bishop Bienvenu receives strangers. "You don't have to tell me who you are. This is not my house, this is the house of Jesus Christ. This door doesn't ask if the person who walks in has a name, but asks if he is in pain. You are in pain, you are hungry and thirsty, so please rest assured. You shouldn't thank me or say that I left you at home. You are a passer-by, I tell you, I am not so much in my home as you are in your home. Everything here is yours. Why should I know your name? Before you told me your name, you already had a name, and I already knew it. What's your name? My brother? . "

In this way, the road to redemption of the convict Jean Valjean began.

What kind of work is Les Miserables? When I was a child, I thought it was a story of bad guys arresting people; In middle school, I thought it was a novel promoting class struggle; It is not until today that I realize that this is an epic about love, grace and redemption. The real epic has not only the times, but also the human soul. The magnificent soul is not inferior to the fiercest times. That's why at the beginning of Les Miserables, there is a long paragraph describing the religious life of Bishop Bienvenu, which is the key to the whole work. Hugo called this million-word masterpiece, which was conceived for forty years and completed in his later years, "a religious work".

The earliest creative inspiration came from a man named Pierre? Mo's farmers. 180 1 year in France, Pierre stole a piece of bread because of hunger and was sentenced to five years of hard labor. After he got out of prison, life was very difficult. The yellow ID card followed him like a permanent brand, isolating him from the whole society.

If thinking stops here, if we just condemn judicial injustice and criticize the social reality that makes people commit crimes, then Les Miserables will be a work depicting the outside world and indulging in anger. Writing about suffering is only for accusation and hatred. How can it be worthy of the depth of suffering? A broader novel needs more extraordinary power.

From 65438 to 0828, Hugo began to collect information about Bishop Miollis and his family. He wanted Pierre in reality to meet Bishop Miollis in reality in his novel world. This is the embryonic form of Les Miserables. This will be a work that begins with suffering and ends with redemption.

The preparation for writing is extremely solid. Hugo referred to his friend Vito's escape life when he was young, collected a lot of information about the black glass manufacturing industry, visited the convict prisons in Toulon and Brest, and witnessed scenes similar to Fantine's humiliation in the street.

This practicality is reflected in the details. In the process of reading, I was constantly surprised: Hugo told every part of society with the accuracy of a reporter and the details of a field investigation. For example, the "Great Soviet Union" used by criminals to escape from prison (that is, a Soviet coin is cut vertically, hollowed out, engraved with interlocking threads, and then put on a spring); Another example is slang between gangs. The genre, types, accent characteristics and users' personality of slang are described in an orderly and vivid way.

Les Miserables describes remote towns in other provinces and emerging industrial towns in coastal areas, but Paris is the city that spends the most ink. This is almost an encyclopedia about Paris. Here, you can see prisons, roadblocks, slums, sewers, rude but kind wild children, sacred but rigid monasteries, cunning and unscrupulous criminal gangs, living like maggots and working like cattle slaves. We followed Hugo, wandering in the streets, winding in the alleys, breathing the breath of every brick and touching every shutter, The Secret Behind.

Notre Dame de Paris has a whole chapter "A Bird's Eye View of Paris"; Les Miserables is full of tireless descriptions of street scenes in Paris. These words are like love letters: Paris panorama, Paris details, Paris day, Paris night, Paris architecture, Paris street lamps, Paris taverns, Paris invisible underground world. In a complete sense, Paris is alive. She is a middle-aged woman with vicissitudes of eyes and shabby clothes, which exudes a dark and warm taste. She is Hugo's Paris, Jean Valjean's Paris.

Hugo's writing style is magnificent and delicate, which can withstand microscope reading: history? Times? Character? Details, no matter what multiple, Les Miserables is a perfect work.

1832, after collecting information, the novel's conception has been clear. But the real writing will be twenty years later. During this period, Hugo completed several other novels, some poems and plays. What made him put it on hold again and again? Does he realize that this will be a great work, and he must be given more time, thought and even suffering, waiting for its maturity and richness?

1845, 1 1 month, Hugo started writing, formerly known as Suffering. Nearly four-fifths of his works were involved in the political whirlpool and forced into exile. The novel 1848 stopped writing in February, and it was twelve years in a flash. On Gaines Island in the Atlantic Ocean, Hugo endured the hardships of exile and recovered his "suffering". After substantial revision and supplement, it was completed on June 30th 186 1 and officially named Les Miserables.

Les Miserables spans nearly half a century, from the climax of the Great Revolution in 1793 to the people's uprising in Paris in 1832. Among them, the Battle of Waterloo and 1832 Paris Uprising are described in detail and completely. In particular, the battle of Waterloo, which has a huge space, is far from the main narrative line and has been forcibly interrupted in the plot promotion. But Hugo would rather sacrifice fluency in order to fulfill his ambition of expounding history.

Of course, Hugo's ambition transcends history. From time to time, he put Jean Valjean down, opened his pen, analyzed various thoughts and discussed different topics. He talked about revolution, war, Napoleon, uprising and riot. He admires people with ideals and a sense of mission, but does not advocate violence. He said, "People love cannon fodder"; He thinks ignorance and sin are two sides of the coin, but he still sympathizes: "You should teach those who have no knowledge more;" The crime of society lies in not doing compulsory education; It is responsible for creating darkness. When a person's heart is full of darkness, evil grows there. A guilty person is not a criminal, but a person who creates darkness. "

Hugo is a compassionate humanitarian and a devout Christian. His will begins like this: "The three concepts of God, soul and responsibility are enough for one person and enough for me, and the essence of religion is among them. I have been living with this belief and will die with it. Truth, light, justice and conscience are God. God is like day. I left 40,000 francs to the poor. (He left his mother only 654.38+200,000 francs) "

Is there a contradiction between humanitarianism and Christian belief? Not contradictory. Humanism opposes the shackles of the church and religious persecution. But faith and religion are two different things. Faith is the direct relationship between man and God; Religion is the organization of human beings. As long as there are people, there is evil. In Les Miserables, Hugo has a wonderful comment on the monastic system: "Whenever we meet Tao in a person's heart, no matter how well he knows it, we will always feel awe." Temples, mosques, temples of bodhisattvas, holy places, all those places have their ugly side, which we spurn; At the same time, it also has its excellent side, which we revere. Meditation in people's hearts is endless, and the light of God shines on people's walls. "People's hearts are both good illuminated by God and evil bred by evil and darkness. No matter in temples, streets, prisons or police stations, human nature is always gray and ambiguous.

This is why in Hugo's works, Gavroche, a wild boy, is brave and kind, but full of swearing and likes petty theft; Eponine loved Marius, sacrificed for him like a saint, and at the same time lured him into the barricade out of jealousy. After doing good deeds, Jean Valjean discovered the love affair between his adopted daughter Cosette and Marius, resulting in jealousy, schadenfreude and crazy possessiveness. Even the tragic Paris 1832 people's uprising, while praising the heroic and noble of the insurgents, did not forget to describe the violence and blood brought about by the collective indifference of fishing in troubled waters and blindly joining in the fun, which eventually led to failure. "All these places have their ugly side, which we spurn; At the same time, it also has its excellent side, which we respect. " This is Hugo's insight into human nature.

This thorough insight focused on Javert. Is Javert a good man or a bad man? He grew up in prison, interacted with criminals, developed a hatred for evil, followed the concept of law, and considered himself the embodiment of justice. His style, described in the language we are often taught, is to treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves. At first glance, it's really hard to blame him, because Javert is also very strict with himself. He testified against Grandfather Madeleine, Jean Valjean, a convict. When he thought he was wrong, he immediately repeatedly asked to resign. In Javert's world, he never doubted that he was a good man, and Jean Valjean was a bad man. Until the street fighting, the bad guys saved the good guys' lives.

At first, Javert was shocked and confused. He shouted to the rescuer Jean Valjean, "You really bore me to death. You might as well kill me. " (He subconsciously called Jean Valjean "you" for the first time) Soon after, Javert had a good chance to catch his old enemy, but he helped save Marius and finally let Jean Valjean go.

In my opinion, the most thrilling monologue of all the characters in Les Miserables has two paragraphs: one is that Jean Valjean was moved by Bishop Bienvenu and changed from evil to good; In another scene, after Javert released Jean Valjean, he meditated and introspected by the Seine.

Javert was surprised to find himself betraying society for his conscience. Realizing that Jean Valjean forgave him and that he forgave Jean Valjean, he was even more amazed. He regarded the law as supreme all his life, and now he has something higher than the law: love and forgiveness. He doesn't know how to look at Jean Valjean, much less how to face his heart and the suddenly different world. Hugo wrote: "He (Javert) has a superior, Mr. Gisquette, and so far he has not thought of another superior: God. This new official, God, unexpectedly felt it, so he was in a state of disorder. " The values of black and white, good and evil collapsed. "He (Javert) was moved. What a terrible experience. " He felt empty, useless, isolated and destroyed. He jumped into the icy Seine.

Hugo called Javert's integrity "the integrity of darkness". Why is it "dark"? Because without light, this light is love. The Bible says that the general principle of all commandments is love, and those who love others have completely fulfilled the law, and love can cover up many sins. Prissy, for example, never lied in her life. She lied to Javert to save Jean Valjean. Lying is a crime, but saving others is out of love Hugo commented on this: "Oh, saint! You have been beyond the mortal world for many years, and you have long been close to your virgin sisters and your bright angel brothers. May your lies go to heaven. "

In this sense, Les Miserables is an epic of the great era and also an epic of Jean Valjean's personal mind. Bishop Bienvenu made him see goodness, Cosette made him understand love, and his life in the nameless monastery made him humble, saved Marius and made him overcome evil thoughts, and finally saved his soul. It is more difficult and fundamental to change the soul than to change the system. May more people in China enjoy Les Miserables.

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. The good and bad of the world are defined by people and also caused by people. The tragic world is a reflection and torture of human nature.

Reflection on Les Miserables 4

This week, the teacher showed us a new edition of Les Miserables. Although I only read part of it, I was deeply moved.

The new edition of Les Miserables is not based on the original novel, but on a musical. Jean Valjean, the hero of Les Miserables, is a slave. He was accused of stealing a loaf of bread because of hunger, which put him in prison and spent 19 years in prison. After he was released from prison, his thoughts were numb and heartless, and he had infinite resentment against this society. Because of his identity, people stay away from him and run away from him. This scene made Jean Valjean feel desperate. However, a miracle happened. A kind bishop asked him to stay overnight. After he stole something from the bishop's house and was brought back, the bishop not only did not report him, but excused him and declared him innocent.

Later, Jean Valjean became the mayor. He is really a good mayor. He runs a textile factory and provides jobs for women. He doesn't exploit workers, so that people in the city can live a good life. However, when he knew that an innocent man was mistaken for Jean Valjean, after a period of psychological contradictions, he resolutely stepped forward and surrendered himself. This is very touching. At the same time, there is a tragic figure in the play. Fantine is in big trouble. Before she died, she entrusted her daughter to Jean Valjean. Next, it was a conversation with his old friend Javert. Jean Valjean only wanted to fulfill Fantine's wishes and followed Javert. We watched him take Cosette away, and it was over.

Javert's image can be said to be controversial. In movies, he always sings a line for the hero, 2460 1! (24601). This is Jean Valjean's horn, and the melody and tone always haunt my mind. Javert, on the one hand, is impartial and never gives up easily; Upright and upright, he is a qualified policeman who always defends the fairness and justice of the law. On the other hand, he is hard-hearted, heartless, ruthless and stubborn, and he is also the hero's adversary.

The film focuses on the portrayal of the characters' hearts, such as a monologue when Jean Valjean is holding the sleeping Lott in the carriage. For rossetter, Jean Valjean was her savior, saving her from the terrible Thenardier; But at the same time, she is also the salvation of Jean Valjean, making him no longer lonely.

Jean Valjean's confession seems to be the same as each of us. We are all small individuals. We have been making mistakes. We are full of lofty sentiments and ideals. We are mired in the mire and struggling. Day after day, year after year, we are still repeating the old road. We are still making mistakes. We are unforgivable. All our good things seem to have gone away and will never come again. We were alone and in a panic. Have we ever tried to pursue and practice our dreams?

When we have read or seen Les Miserables, we should all have the same spiritual quality as Jean Valjean, influence people around us, treat everyone around us with kindness and love, make the society warmer and make the whole world full of sunshine of love!

After watching the movie, I am eager to see the original. The remake of the film is like this. The original work must be a masterpiece among masterpieces!

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 piece 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.
