After the success of Les Misérables, the experience was rediscovered by Causeur magazine — which added a religious justification for this revenge trip that didn’t appear in the trial report — and in the Republished on December 18, 2019. Contrary to the titles of the two critical articles, Ladj Ly was not found guilty of "intentional murder", but conspiracy charges of "kidnapping" and "imprisonment". Even though the prosecution dropped the attempted murder and violence charges, he consistently denied those facts during the trial. On December 19, 2019, Ladj Ly sued the magazines Causeur and Valeurs actuelles for "defamation" and "racial libel." According to Liberation Daily and reports at the time, Ladj Ly was an accomplice in a crime planned by Amad Ly in 2009. Amad Ly and Ladj Ly are both from the Paris suburb of Montfermeil, where his film Les Misérables took place. The Liberation Daily article confirmed that Ladj Ly was also convicted of two previous convictions. The first incident occurred in 2011, when Ly posted a video online about police violence in the Montfermeil area, adding "heinous comments" to the video. The director was given a six-month suspended sentence and a fine of 400 euros. The second time was in 2012, when Ladj Ly was condemned for "verbal attacks and violence against public officials". I don't want to comment too much on the events other than the director's films. Maybe some people will admire the director even more after reading the report and think he is a real fighter. I can't say, I just reproduced it here, I think it should be clear at a glance whether these events are related to the plot of this movie. If you are in the company of women who beat women and use the most brutal violence against others, and then make such a movie based on yourself or Amad Ly, even if it is successful in business and film festivals, I can't approve it, it seems Neutrality and impartiality, but Chen Cang stealthily changes the concept of darkness. This is the charm of the image, and it is also the abuse of the image. Even if I admire his superb film skills, I can't accept this kind of chaotic logic, and I can't accept the distortion in this form. Hugo and his great Les Miserables.
