Les Miserables

I have read the book twice and watched the movie again, and I still feel deeply

There is an indescribable rumbling in my heart. I only read it in books when I was in school. Maybe because my imagination is not so rich, I only think that the society is black, but I think it is what I see today. Jean Valjean's perseverance is so strong, and he lived to the end, a person like Javert is really sad. He believed in justice and light and loyalty to God, but he took everything too seriously. Stealing was stealing without any reason. The reason is that he feels that he is also living in a poor family, but he has never stole it, so he also thinks that others can do the same. To describe him with the phrase "the water is clear, there will be no fish", it feels a little light, but seeing his behavior towards the prisoners in the prison feels unforgivable, especially when he first started, it reminded me of Xiao Sheng. The wardens of Gram's redemption are the most evil people. But seeing his determination to catch Jean Valjean, I felt that he was different from those people, especially the scenes where he swore to God and felt unfair, made me think he was a bad guy who was overly just, and it was not until the end that I understood Javert is actually a very poor person here, living in the misunderstanding of catching a "bad guy" all his life, just to be loyal to the law. How sad!

    4.5. Can feel a sense of being close to the character. Everyone's action dilemma and the dilemma faced are thrilling. I thought the film would end in a state of injustice and unfairness. But the creator’s perspective is higher. He realized that whether it is a police or a gang, the lack of justice and fairness, and the mess of turning a blind eye to responsibility will inevitably lead to a violent and anarchic backlash from the bottom victims. The good guys, bad guys, and middlemen of the country will all be dragged into mutual hatred that cannot be released. Any ideas, systems, races, religions, and class conflicts in the entire world will eventually face such a devastating dilemma. Especially when I saw such a film in the city of Jerusalem, I felt particularly strong. The Palme d'Or of this year's Cannes Film Festival should be here. This jury is really made up of a group of illiterate and leisurely people who have no vision.

    This film basically reflects the irreconcilable opposition and differentiation in the dual world. In fact, it is very similar to the status quo where there is only a stand and no right and wrong. Both sides have exhausted their patience and are unwilling to bother with words, yet they refuse to let go of their arrogance and prejudice. In this way, the misunderstanding will deepen step by step and things will become more and more troublesome. As a result, the evil police's today is the good police's tomorrow, and the little Isa is the future Salah or the Lion King. On the other hand, both sides feel that they are wronged, but there is no way to retreat under the irreconcilable status quo. Just like the abrupt ending, a wonderful metaphor: the teenager refuses to throw away the Molotov cocktail, and the police do not want to put it down. The pistol, so he reached a kind of "reconciliation" that was difficult to overcome, embarrassing and ironic.
