OH well no! this year I am not going to blog only about Movies.. there are a few posts in the making ... but then I watched this movie and would like to write about it ... huh ?? arey its my blog yaar !! I can write about anyone !! (yes indeed i have applied for a bail)
ok so to start with .. its a Musical! But beware: it's not strictly a musical. There's no dancing, there are no jazz hands and there is next to no speech. Rather, it is lobotomized opera, in which incidental dialogues appear !
I was impressed when I read a post that said director Hooper's big innovation is that his actors sing "live" – that is, they taped the vocal tracks while shooting, rather than in post-production – to amp up the realism
well I had good time... some nice popcorn , pepsi and comfy seats at Metro (marine lines, mumbai), good company... {also we went for the morning show so the tickets cost less}. Although it was hard to sit for a musical without getting bored ... I did have a good time
So would like to end this by mentioning a review from 'Rotten tomatoes' {yeah I know you'l need an second opinion with a lot of technical details... }
'Rotten tomatoes' : " Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption-a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. In December 2012, the world's longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper's sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic tale. -- (C) Universal"
