      Carrying weight in a miserable world

      When I saw the fifth episode, I was forced to give up the show by Cosette's stupidity. Before that, I had watched the 10th and 25th anniversary musicals, as well as Annie's movie, probably because those tight plots couldn't hold too much love, so Les Miserables has always been in my mind. It's a classic, and I can't stand the fact that the BBC version has a Cosette plot because it has enough plot.

      Fantine and Cosette mother and daughter are both beautiful, but they...

      Personal perception, talk in general terms

      The TV series "Les Miserables" is divided into six episodes, each of which is an hour. It is based on the post-war period of Napoleon Waterloo and tells the story of the hero Jean Valjean's self-redemption. Hugo's novel of the same name in this play can be said to be a macro-edited masterpiece that integrates social, political, cultural and other elements of a specific period in France. The topics of human nature, belief, love, ideals, revolution and other aspects involved in this play...

      make me feel uncomfortable

      The background is real and the acting is okay, but after watching it, I don't think I'm watching Hugo's Les Miserables. Hugo does have the limitations of his history, naively thinking that the humanitarian spirit of kindness and love can save and change the world. But it's not that he magnifies his shortcomings so much. The characters in the play have no logic at all. They are completely drama for the sake of drama. After watching the whole film, there is nothing but feeling "well, the...

      Les Miserables

      It's actually really difficult to adapt a classic novel, because there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and if you don't change it a little bit, you will be ridiculed by others. I started watching this TV series because I trusted the director and it was produced by the BBC.

      In fact, there are quite a few changes, but they are all within the acceptable range, which can be said to be unexpectedly good. The characters are very detailed, and many of them are...

      Feel free to write down the changes in the play compared to the original

      1. In the play, Bishop Bian Furu is just a flash in the pan. After completing Jean Valjean's soul guidance task, he is offline.

      But in the original work, Hugo used a volume at the very beginning to write about the bishop's words, deeds and spiritual greatness.

      This character is like a light that illuminates the entire novel. Although he never appears again below, the light is always there.

      2. In the play, Jean Valjean left from the bishop's house, met a child named...

      Anger! I look depressed and restless, heartbroken and painful! I have watched so many versions of Les Miserables, but I love the bbc version the most. The casting is great! The picture is so beautiful! When I saw the scene of war, I thought it was about war and peace! I have never understood why Javert and Jean Valjean always had a hard time! I hate Javert! As I get older, I realize that there is no absolute right and wrong, and people have their own...

      Hugo wrote Fantine so stupidly, looking annoying. Asking Arang to ask the housekeeper to pick up Fang Ding's daughter, but that idiot didn't pick it up, I was mad at me! All people are stupid, unreasonably...

      Why let a black man play Javert? ? ? Modern dramas don't matter, classical dramas are more rigorous, okay? ? ?...
