#me watching Les Misérables (2012)

[breadvidence]

Please mind the #wineposting tag. Regardless: are you asking, "Should I watch this adaptation of Les Misérables?" I'll give you advice, though I suspect if you are reading this blog post you have watched all of these anyway (and quite possibly a few more, besides!).

'25 (Fescourt): Probably! If you are a Brick fan none of the adaptation choices will startle you, but having visuals to go with key scenes is a treat. This is a loyal piece. Toulout as Javert, Gabrio as Valjean, Milovanoff as Fantine, and Nivette as Éponine all give excellent performances. Be prepared for a lukewarm Cosette. You might struggle with silent film conventions, length, and French intertitles.

'34 (Bernard): Probably! This is a fairly loyal adaptation of the Brick that makes internally consistent choices where it deviates from its source (sometimes it has goofy continuity errors—politely ignore). Baur as Valjean and Gaël as Cosette give fabulous performances. Moments of silliness do not detract from the quality. Another long haul.

'35 (Boleslawski): Probably not. As an adaptation of Les Misérables this film is bad. That being said, Charles Laughton is a lauded actor, and you can't say he didn't put his whole laughussy into his performance. Because it is accessible and prominent, a lot of LM fans will have seen this film, and you might benefit from shared context if you're in fandom. Speaking personally, I'm glad I saw it, but I'm not sure you will be.

'52 (Milestone): No. Most likely based on '35 rather than on the book, this film is also a bad adaptation of Les Misérables. There are no notable performances. Because it is accessible, this is another adaptation many fans are familiar with, but understanding jokes about Valjean's boyfriend Robert and Javert's sentient hat probably don't justify sitting through the movie.

'58 (Le Chanois): No. Not the English dub, at least. "Bland" is the word of the day. Contemporary French audiences wildly disagree with me per Wikipedia.

'72 (Bluwal): Strong maybe. If you are an intense fan of the Brick, yes. Its use of a narrator to draw from the novel directly and its focus on the Amis makes this adaptation unique on this list. You might not end up liking it but you will have had an experience. If you have zero investment in Les Misérables but are still reading this post for some reason: no, do not watch this.

'78 (Jordan): At some point I will talk about this film and not make a gay joke but today is not that day. If you are not queer, get off my blog, you cis straight, begone. Everyone else: yes, watch this movie, c'mon. Perkins. That performance. At some point I need to make a serious post about queerness and '78 but right now all I've got is Javert's literal on-screen boner. Jesus Christ. Not a great adaptation of the novel but a virtuoso example of unintentional homoeroticism.

'82 (Hossein): No. This is an odd little adaptation without the charisma of a '35 or '78, somehow not as bad as either of those but not as good either. The GIF of the Amis walking in heavy wind is the best this film has to offer.

'98 (August): No—but I stared into my wine glass for a long, long time before typing those two letters. If we are judging adaptations by how they handle the source material, this is a disaster. As a film? I'm sure entertained. I call it bitchslap Les Mis. I should note here I am also a huge fan of Uma Thurman. Possibly I should recuse myself. I don't know, pal. IDK.

2012 (Hooper): I dwell bitterly on the fact that this is our film version of the musical. Brick fans are restless, musical fans are restless. People who first encountered Les Mis via this version are making feral noises. I'm afraid. I'm moving on.

2018 (Davies): It's really unfortunate that I am at my most drunk while commenting on this adaptation. Sure, watch it, it's one of those BBC series that has watchability sheerly because of production value and proximity to contemporary narrative/film expectations/standards. Personally I hate it. My partner is so tired of the tone in which I utter the syllables "Oyelowo".

The Musical: yes c'mon. Bootleg that good bitch.

A Reflection of Starlight Review

(TW: brief mentions of COVID, cancer, and suicide) (spoilers for Les Mis but no spoilers for AROS)

Please indulge me as I tell a bit of a personal story.

I took French all throughout high school and also participated in French club. I was also really into musical theatre (and I still am) so I was interested in the musical Les Misérables. I saw it live once and it was incredible. Sometime during my sophomore year I tried to read the original Brick but didn’t get very far, it’s just kinda not my thing I guess. But the characters were so charming and endearing to me and I was primarily moved by the stories of Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert. I was moved by how their characters and stories mirror each other and how they’re so alike but their differences drove them to very different places. During my senior year of high school we watched the 2012 Les Mis film in French club one day. At the end when Javert kills himself, almost everyone in the room cheered, but I did not. While Javert did many bad things, had a very narrow worldview, and made things so much harder for our protagonist, I still felt pity for him. I felt pity that he lived by this one doctrine all his life because he kind of had no other choice and when faced with the idea that he may be wrong, he was so distressed and had no one to turn to, so he took his own life.

Earlier that year, I started reading a fanfiction called A Reflection of Starlight by AutumnGracy, and I was quickly sucked in. For those unaware, it is a continuation of the Les Mis book that starts with one big difference: Jean Valjean saves Javert from drowning after he throws himself into the Seine. From there, the two grow closer and Javert learns to live with the fact that the law isn’t infallible with the help of Jean Valjean.

I started reading this fanfic in the spring of 2019 and I didn’t finish it until today, January 15th, 2024. Over four years. To my credit, it is a HUGE work, spanning over 379,000 words; that’s longer than the entire Hunger Games trilogy, which is about 301,000 words in total. A lot has happened in my life since I started reading that slowed my progress. The COVID pandemic hit, I got diagnosed with cancer, beat cancer, started college, had a cancer relapse, beat the cancer relapse, and got a boyfriend all in the time that it took me to finish this thing. This is the longest text that I have ever read.

And there’s a good reason why I stuck with it: it’s absolutely amazing. While I didn’t read the original Brick, the wording and structure of the story seems very appropriate for the original time period and story. It’s extremely well-written and tells a compelling story all on its own that gives all of the main characters a resolution to their pasts and a hopeful and happy ending. It’s kinda plot-heavy, there’s a lot of original stories and plot lines taking place, but it is all engaging and wraps up really nicely.

The center-point of the story, however, is the growing relationship and eventual romance between Jean Valjean and Javert. From beginning to end you see how this beautiful relationship slowly develops and grows. And I mean SLOW. This is literally the slowest burn that I have ever read. But it’s worth it. Even before it’s explicitly romantic, there are lots of cute, endearing moments between the two that kept me hooked. They’re even asexual which makes my aspec heart so happy. This is probably the greatest fanfiction that I’ve ever read.

@autumngracy thank you so much for such a wonderful work. Your authors notes throughout were entertaining and made me feel like I was experiencing this story along with you. Your writing is phenomenal and I hope you know how great your skills are.

Here is my very long post about what I think of Les Misérables (2012) after watching it again recently

Tldr: the music which should be great somehow just isn't, the camera angles are fucking weird, Russel Crowe isn't as bad as I expected, Hugh Jackman was worse than I remembered

When I watched Les Misérables (2012) the first time it was the first experience I'd had of Les mis other than the odd YouTube video of one day more (or occasionally do you hear the people sing). I didn't know what it was about I didn't know many of the songs.

I found it fairly boring, the music was ok, the middle section with the revolution was the highlight. My favourite character was Javert followed by Enjolras (but that's biased because I'm a moulin rouge and n2n fan and it was Aaron tveit).

When I watched it back I entirely expected to hate Russell Crowe as Javert but have more respect for the music and the rest of the film as I have since watched the staged concerts and been to see it live and it's fucking great I love it.

I was wrong the music still sucked and I still found it kind of boring despite absolutely loving the stage production.

The orchestra is too quiet I think which means the music loses a lot of it's grandeur and the bad singing is more obvious.

Russel Crowe has a weird tone when singing (this we already knew) and when compared to other Javert's he sucks but when compared to Hugh Jackman it's a relief whenever it's his part because holy fuck Hugh Jackman was bad. Russel Crowe honestly wasn't that bad, I quite like his Javert from an acting perspective and the singing was alright, I know when I first watched the film stars was my favourite song (just imagine how amazed I was when I heard Philip Quast's version). I wish Javert's suicide was better in the film.

Hugh Jackman was far worse than I remembered him being perhaps I have more to compare him to now, bring him home was awful that's not how that should be sung and he had me bored for like the entire bit at the start where it's basically just him (end of prologue/ VJ's soliloquy).

One day more was a bit messy but not as bad as I was expecting.

The scenery was pretty epic like they had some great cinematic shots (ship at the start, the Seine, the cliff during VJ's soliloquy) like a big musical like Les Mis deserves some cool shots like that.

The camera angles were fucking weird. I find how shows use different camera angles quite interesting but I can't figure Les Mis out, it doesn't enhance the story or characters or anything it's just distracting and adds to how boring it is. I thought the camera angles during VJ's soliloquy looked like he was vlogging. Some dramatic shots could have helped that scene a lot I think. The camera angles got a little more exciting but the weird close ups were a theme and I personally think they were poorly used and distracting.

The Thenardiers were pretty good the first time I watched it but like having seen the show since it just doesn't work they're nowhere near as funny.

When my friend watched Les Mis and said she didn't like how all the dialogue was sung and I was like ok maybe she just doesn't like sung through musicals fair enough. No the film is just weird. They like added bits of sung dialogue but they seem to have forgotten to give these bits any tune.

VJ got a new song which was a bit of a shock because honestly I don't remember it from the first time round, I think the concept of the song is pretty cool but poorly written (it was sort of boring and didn't feel like it fit with the musical).

Les Amis were once again a highlight, the pace picks up, the singing gets better, all in all it's a good chunk of the film.

Fantine was better than I remembered and Anne Hathaway went for acting over singing in I Dreamed a Dream which worked but only because it was a film.

Eddie Redmayne was good as was Sam Barks I enjoyed their bits.

Aaron Tveit was also good you can tell which of the actors are theatre actors because they can act and sing at the same time (/hj). And of course respect to George Blagden.

The child actors (I don't know their names) were also great!

Yeah I think that's it if anyone read this to the end congrats on making it

oooohoohooooo 4, 6, 12, 16!!!!!!

4. A film you could watch on repeat for the rest of your life?

Probably any of my comfort movies tbh - While you were sleeping, Much ado about nothing, Death on the Nile (only the 1978 version!!), The Godfather I-II, Pride…I watch these more than once every year and they still feel fresh, still make me laugh or cry…or both. :)

6. A film you wish you hadn’t watched?

Les Misérables (from 2012). Every second was a torture and I should have left the theatre after the 10th minute but I decided to stay for the remaining 2.5 hours…I still dont know why. Also idk why I hated the whole thing so much cos I love classic musicals, but this one bored me to death.

12. A movie that holds a special place in your heart?

Oscar (1991)!!! It’s special because it’s a favourite film of ours with my sister and it has been one ever since we have first seen it like. 20 years ago or so. We quote the whole movie entire scenes to each other, and many lines are just part of our family lingo by now lol ("Of course I knew. I just had no idea!”). Sooo many good memories!! <333

16. A film you love but everyone else hates?

Hmmm I dont think I have one? Okay, maybe Requiem for a Dream – dgmw its a GREAT movie, and many ppl I know agree w this, but it just leaves you sad and traumatized in a way that you never ever wanna watch it again. So its not like people hate it, they just dont wanna relive the experience (I do lol). Does this count? :P

[khihi]

As a french person who read les misérables at school but has never watched the movie/musical, I'm quite curious about what has attracted many (foreign) people to it. Feel free to rant and share your thoughts, I'm genuinely curious

OH GOD OKAY LOOK HERE'S THE THING FIRST OF ALL the musical is absolutely incredible. I'm a musicals fan in general but les mis is something else. It will make you cry and laugh and somehow it will also make you proud to be French even when you're not French.

Long rant/fucking essay under cut so I'm not bombarding everyone who doesn't care about musicals or dead French dudes

I wish everyone could watch a live performance of it as their first experience of les mis because I feel like most people only see either the movie or the 25th anniversary concert. And while I adore the 25th anniversary concert and I'm a Les Mis 2012 Movie Defender 4 lyfe, I think both of those won't anchor you into enjoying les mis quite as much as an actual, professional live performance of the show will (bc the anniversary is mostly just standing and singing and the movie is.. flawed).

Also I imagine your first experience of it being the brick probably would not help you see why foreigners love this story so much because that thing is CHONKY and I've absolutely not read all of it - I've literally only read bits of it that include my faves. Sorry Hugo but I'm not here to read your rant about Paris' sewage system, I'm here to read about Grantaire bullying Enjolras and laugh at Marius for crying against a tree for hours xx

Les Amis de l'ABC are the main attraction for me and I think a lot of les mis fans tbh. Their friendships combined with their doomed narrative is just the absolute best and worst, emotionally speaking thing. Just the fact they believe so strongly in wanting to change the world that they're prepared to fight and die for it but they're also just a bunch of super young guys who drink and laugh together makes my heart hurt. They're martyrs to a hopeless cause but they're so human.

It makes you want to see them happy and victorious (I know there are a lot of mundane college kids les amis fics out there where they're "all happy and nothing hurts" because of this) but also that doomed narrative is so delicious every single time (which is why me and other les mis fans come crawling back to rewatch the musical whenever we're presented with the opportunity).

And DO NOT get me started on ExR. Grantaire and Enjolras are THE most angsty ship in the world, they make me ill. Grantaire is so in love with Enjolras even though his depression makes him a lot more aware of just how fucked they all are in this revolution, he's like a moth to a flame. Also the guy who played Grantaire in the 2012 movie shipped ExR. George Blagden if you can hear me right now I owe you my life and I hate them for cutting your Drink With Me solo.

Also the female characters in les mis are SO FUCKING GOOD HOLY SHIT like yes Cosette and Eponine are both madly stupidly in love with Marius "Just Some Guy" Pontmercy but to me it always felt like Marius was their love interest rather than the other way around. He's the chain that links Valjean to the revolution and back to the Thénardiers, but Eponine and Cosette are both so much more interesting to me personally than him.

AND FANTINE?? Fantine who had her life torn to shreds and does everything in her power (of which she has NONE) to protect her little girl and is punished, like fucking everyone in the story, for being a good person?? but who is always shown to be a sympathetic character?? written in a time when women were possessions and prostitutes were seen as scum of the earth?? Once again it's emotionally catastrophic, but it's beautiful. I for one enjoy when stories reach into my chest and squeeze my heart to pulp.

ALSO I'm such a sucker for motifs and symbology and themes and all of that Good Literature Shit, which les mis has in buckets, so there's also that.

so yeah

tl;dr the characters are my babies, i love a masterfully crafted story, and the music makes me feel shrimp emotions. PLEASE SEE THE MUSICAL.

thank you for letting me infodump this fine sunday afternoon <3

[siriusly-amazing]

So I just watched Moulin Rouge: The Musical on Broadway, so potential spoilers ahead.

If someone knows me, they know I first watched Les Misérables (2012) five/six years ago, and obviously been a fan of Aaron Tveit ever since, so you could say; me saying this was the best musical experience of my life could be a bit biased. But at the end of the day, it was. The vibes were crazy, many thanks to the audience who clapped and cheered right through it. The theatre is gorgeous, and so were the costumes. Toulouse and the Argentinian quickly became my favourite, and unlike in the movie, I loved Nini's character arc. (And I ultimately loved the sisterhood between all the dancers) I, a bit, missed the part where Christian ''pays'' (throws money at) Satine.

And obviously, Christian and Satine deserved a better, a happier ending.

(I also watched the Traviata this week, so it was lovely to kind of compare these two)

[bonojour]

What films are you obsessed with/would recommend at the moment?

I am rarely obsessed with films - I don't really often rewatch films, and the ones I rewatch are more guilty pleasure easy watches haha. So instead it will be a random selection! First of all: I recently watched Contact (1997) and I was blown away. It is exactly the type of film I enjoy and it combined my love for 'disaster movies' (it is not really, but the lead character feels very Strong Female Scientist In A Disaster Movie coded) and films featuring existentialism in a perfect way. I do not think I have genuinely enjoyed a movie as much as I enjoyed this one in at least the past half a year. A couple days before that I watched Awakenings (1990), which is also simply one of the best films I have ever seen. Again, it tackles a certain element of existentialism and combines it this time with morality. I really loved it and I gave it 4,5* on letterboxd because I always give 4* or higher to films that make me cry </3 And honestly if I had to consider myself obsessed with one film.... it would probably be Les Misérables (2012). It gets a lot of negative feedback, but it genuinely is a film that you could wake me up for at night and have me enjoy the fuck out of it. I genuinely believe Tom Hooper did a great job with it, and I feel like singing live (despite the difficulties) and the steadycam to allow actors more movement was just brilliant. As well as his attention to detail (the candlesticks being tuned to the song [chef's kiss]) and the small tweaks he did to the musical to make it easier to follow. I have had multiple people go and see Les Misérables in theatre with me being completely lost by the stage version, and I believe that Les Misérables (2012) is just... a solid foundation to build further upon. (Also I am just obsessed with how Russell looks in the film even if he does not look like the way I hc Javert & him and Hugh acting together is giving me my life energy back etc etc)

Finally sat through all of Les Misérables 1935, which is of the quality I'd been led to expect (bad). Thoughts, in no particular order:

This version of Cosette is the most savvy to Jean Valjean's history as I've seen in an adaptation--down to knowing who Javert is and the threat he presents--without there being a dramatic confession scene. I think this serves the same function as the confession scenes: Brick!Valjean's dishonesty with her is off-putting, and while I'm not sure Hugo knew that, a lot of adaptations do (and adjust to make him more likable).

This movie, as others, struggles to make Javert the primary villain while not having the material from the original to make it happen. When '35 Valjean declares "This man has persecuted me for twenty years", there's really not the on-screen justification for that, unless he means psychologically. (This is still not as unjustified as musical!Javert's "I've hunted you across the years".) I'm resigned that I might be waiting forever for the adaptation which depicts their dynamic as one of mutual annoyance and surprise.

Whew, did not ward off the implication of incest. Not as bad as '52, but--really--that bar is below ground. As much as Brick!Valjean's hatred of Marius is essential and its absence fucks up the story, watching visual media struggle to communicate it without coming across incestuous really helps defend the musical's decision to dump it. In any case, there's a scene in which Éponine and Valjean are directly equated in their "loss" of Marius and Cosette respectively and it was u n c o m f o r t a b l e.

They took a story held together by coincidence (or fate, if you want to be kind) and added more coincidence (I am not calling this fate) by putting a ramble in Marius' mouth about convicts and unfair prison sentences. Incredible choice.

I'd be curious to see numbers on how many adaptations actually let Jean Valjean die vs. not. This one does not.

I found it genuinely funny when Javert, halfway through a sewer pursuit, stops with a "you know what, fuck this" expression & simply goes back to Valjean's house to wait for him.

Javert's big-ass baton? floats?? gonna be baffled forever, isn't that fucker supposed to be lead-weighted? whatever.

There is a scene in which Jean Valjean is haggling with a man to buy a dog, and I am so used to the intensive use of canine imagery in the Brick that I spent the next twenty minutes of film puzzling over the possible symbolism before realizing that there wasn't any. RIP, my wasted brain cells.

Valjean makes a big deal to Cosette about his going to England as a cover when he expects to be re-arrested (this is a stupid lie on multiple levels, but ok, '35 Valjean, you've had a long twenty-four hours, and the need to be dishonest which is the root of a Valjean welled up). Of course Javert yeets himself into the Seine, and the carriage Valjean said was waiting for him isn't there, so--what? he has to slink back into the house with a big ol' "never mind" having made a massive show of the thing? I feel robbed that this scene was not included.

Charles Laughton ranks above David Oyelowo but beneath Russell Crowe on the personal Javert scale. In 2012 I would have said nobody could rank below Russell Crowe. Life keeps on teaching.

Next up--Shoujo Cosette? Quite possibly Shoujo Cosette.

Finished watching Les Misérables (1998) and as a film, it was fun but WTF was the ending?

"I don't have the right to kill you" but I guess I can just watch you die without doing anything

having Javert die in front of Valjean and Valjean just being lol yay I'm free was sure a choice...

and the film made other... choices™

Javert's character had no depth, Valjean's characterization was too violent (so was Javert's) and Javert's suicide was pretty much ??? and even though he also handcuffed himself like in Les Misérables 2000, it really had zero impact on me as a viewer

maybe... if I watch the musical (2012) next, I'll see it more favourably than the first time :D Even though my issue was the quality of singing... and Javert in a fancy uniform...
