enjoying 2012 les mis is like. yes i love parts of it. yes aspects of it are absolutely sinful and straight up bad. the acting is terrific. the singing is dogshit (please give jackman a glass of water) except when it verges on angelic (redmayne, barks, and seyfried). the casting is iconic (blagden served cunt for his .2 seconds of screentime and barks is legendary). who let tom hooper direct this (it was mackintosh (derogatory)). why did they cut parts of the songs only to ADD an entire new number. would i recommend watching it? absolutely. should it be your first exposure to les mis? absolutely NOT. was it mine? you know it babes! is it the most well known/popular/easiest version to find? again, yes, but i'm begging you on hands and knees to watch it live or find a bootleg or the 25th anniversary concert or ANYTHING else as an introduction or i promise that the version of the musical that burns itself into your memory will include ugly singing (i speak from experience)

Why is Crowe so damp during “Stars”, though? Man has sweatdrops like Ghibli tears rolling down his face. The sequence was filmed indoors, could they not cut on the AC without drowning out his drone? Call this adaptation sweatvert. M. Madeleine yearning for his perfumed hanky while Javert tries to resign. Montparnasse panicking at the arrest because he doesn’t want a wet handprint on his coat collar. Javert brooding over his undeniable criminal heritage, why else would he be so slippery?

Wired similarity between Mamma Mia! (2008) and Les Misérables (2012). Amanda Seyfried doesn't really know who her father is.

LES MISERABLES FANDOM I NEED YOUR HELP
Okay so. I recently got cast in a production of Les Mis (exciting) as Feuilly. So I need all the information I can get it. This is basically me asking for people to infodump about Feuilly, or any of the other Amis for that matter. All headcanons and ships, literally anything is accepted.

i just. i just wanna TALK to whoever decided to add the deafening crack of javert's body hitting the seine in the 2012 movie over the beautiful score. why. why was that necessary. call me unhinged but it's SO bad and SO jarring that i huff a disbelieving laugh every time i hear it. i know his spine is going to crack like a glowstick everytime i rewatch, i logically know that he's gonna sound like my mom breaking dry spaghetti in half to throw it in the pot. and yet. and yet! i still laugh! i should not be laughing!! who is responsible for this!!!!
