The utter emotion the actors displayed while singing is actually moving. I had tears in my eyes multiple times. Seriously incredible. Hugh Jackmam and Anne Hathaway gave the best performances imo.
As a die hard fan of Les Amis since it was released 31 years ago, I had only two complaints about this film, they were Russell Crow and Sacha Baron Cohen! Having been used to the likes of Philip Quast and Alun Armstrong, they failed to meet the expectations of the character for me.The rest of the film allowed for the upmost respect to all original casts and in particular the cameo role for Colm Wilkinson.The sets were beyond expectation and some of the songs like 'Lovely ladies' seemed to have even more emotion poured in to them.A powerhouse of a film, that did little harm to the die hard fans.
That what i got to say. When i was watching this film in my favorite year of my life so far 2017, i thought what i watching is not film, i can say it's a wonderful artistic painting. thank to that man who's directing this film, and all cast and crew, Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Javert, and Anne Hathaway as Fantine. I thank Everybody who take this film as i watched.
Victor Hugo's 1862 novel "Les Misérables" (which means "the wretched ones" in English) is one of the most famous French novels of all time. I haven't read the novel, but I've seen the 1998 and 2012 movie adaptations. The 1998 movie, starring Liam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush, is a direct adaptation of Hugo's novel (and is a good movie). The 2012 movie is based on Alain Boublil's and Claude-Michel Schönberg's musical adaptation of the novel. While I've never seen the stage version, I can say that this is a good movie, detailing protagonist Jean Valjean's redemption as the dogged Inspector Javert pursues him over the course of several years.While I'm not usually into musicals, this one does a fine job connecting Valjean's life to the political turmoil that dominated France in the early 1800s. Indeed, Valjean spent years in jail merely for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's children (showing the hardship that most people in France faced at the time). It was understandable why the revolutionary zeal that brought down Louis and Marie Antoinette stayed alive for decades afterwards.I wouldn't call the movie a masterpiece, but I think that they accomplished something with it. Very well done. It stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter and Eddie Redmayne. Put another way, it stars Wolverine, Gladiator, Catwoman, Linda Lovelace, Borat, Bellatrix LeStrange and Stephen Hawking.
