neutral · AI labelView post →Remember how the 2012 Les Misérables movie only used the massive and grand stage-accurate barricades for Valjean's dying fantasy while the actual barricade was just a bunch of crap thrown together in a dingy alley? Feels like there's some symbolism there.

neutral · AI labelView post →I generally don't mind departures from the source material when they're done well, but I also don't know why, when a work is being adapted for the screen for the first time, the adapter feels a compulsion to change things that don't need to be changed, just for the sake of change. The FIRST screen adaptation of a work should just be, as much as is feasible, a straight adaptation of the work. Because there should be at least ONE screen version of a thing that is simply "that thing, but on…

neutral · AI labelView post →2012: Tom Hooper ruined Les Misérables. Seven years of bliss pass. 2019: Tom Hooper created Cats: The Movie, a horror that H.P. Lovecraft would be proud of. Does this mean that seven years later — in 2026 — NEXT YEAR — Tom Hooper is going to do it again? What musical will he besmirch next?

neutral · AI labelView post →like at least the Jean Valjean movie released last year was just taking advantage of Les Misérables being such a long book that you can make a two hour movie out of just his backstory and the encounter with the bishop that fully makes him want to be honest ACC is what, 150 pages???
neutral · AI labelView post →You don’t need to show every single thing, just the ones that narratively matter. Like however you feel about it as an adaptation, Les Misérables (stage not movie) works because it simplifies things without losing the emotional core of the story. There’s a reason why most musicals are under 2.5 hrs.

The person who modded it took the username Prouvaire, like the minor character from Les Misérables, which I found pretty cool. Though I admit I'm much better at participating in one (whether behind the scenes or onstage) than at sitting down to watch one I'm not studying to better contribute to my own theatre group's performance of it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I went to see the new Les Misérables last night. It’s a French film with a few changes here and there, but also very true to the book. It was emotional and a bit overwhelming. I’ve been thinking about it all day. Unfortunately we still need this story told. This is the preface Hugo wrote.
positive · AI labelView post →The fact that there's a new 3-hour film adaptation of Les Misérables out in cinemas right now is either eerily in-tune with the zeitgeist, or someone's idea of a sick joke.

He thinks he’s written the next Les Misérables, but with all the looping audio, it’s got as much substance as a Marvel movie 😩
