Les Misérables 2012 Evaluation
First of all, I want to comment on the main idea of the movie.this original film adapted from Victor Hugo's masterpiece Les Miserables. "What is miserable? "It has been the question in my mind from the beginning to the end of the movie. Is it Jean Valjean 's 19-year prison punishment? Fantine cut her long hair to buy medicine for her daughter ? or Javert finally ended his life by sinking into the bottom of the river Seine? After thinking for a long time,I found the movie performed not a miserable world, but different people in the miserable world persisted for their faith and made fight for the faith,such as Jean Valjean's persistence of redemption and love , Javert's persistence of maintaining his integrity.
The battle between Jean Valjean and Javert is the battle between the two beliefs. Jean Valjean who firstly was a criminal , was caught stealing silverware in the bishop's house,
and after the bishop's forgiveness,he was so grateful that he started a new life as a mayor. Personally, I think Jean Valjean can struggle with Javert in the later period of time based on the tragic experience of his prison life. he found that he can get support of the forces in the world,therefore he can save the others, include his own.
Then there is my idea about the role play of the musical movie.
Anne who played Fantine was really successful.Her beautiful voice, especially when she singed gently "I dreamed a dream "almost cheated my tears.
Finally when she greeted Jean Valjean like an angel she was really gentle as water. Anne's singing is not professional but wins in the intense emotions,When the word that" but there are dreams that cannot be "came out, you can feel the misery of all the world was focused on her body.
Eddie Redmayne acted as good as expected. Marius's literary temperament was acted out completely, and not weak temperament .The most surprising is his nice throat,his " empty table empty chair "impressed me deeply.
Russell Crowe's performance is not very good. To be honest, his voice is good and he took the best actor of Oscar.Unfortunately, what he sang sounds like he can't totally sang with the throat and breath.Moreover I do't know whether it is because singing powerless affect his
performances, his Javert always gave me a kind of unnatural feeling.
Amanda Seyfried,I feel she is okay,because I think she is just a flower vase in the movie.Therefore Cosette can't get too high requirements, she reached my expectations.
Hotel couple,in my view, were considered to complete the task of the comic character, it really made a deep impression on me.
Daniel Huttlestone (Gavroche) is my favorite actor in the movie. I am quite satisfied with his performance. This child didn't look very lovely as like as the general child stars.But his little adult's performance,with a kind of naive,really got a great success.
In conclusion,though it is easy for some critical people to find problems on the plot and background setting, Les Mis érables 2012 is a good movie to move people with its acting and theme.In another word,It is an imperfect but touching movie.。
