Les Miserables

The musical has great intensity because the songs are recorded live in the middle of filming. Actors don't have great voices, but each one of them exceeded generally expectations. Including occurrences of little Gavroche or "humorous" moments of Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter, each item increases the intensity, drama and emotion in the audience, it's almost impossible not to give in to this mixture of feelings.

A warning for newbies to see a musical 'Les Miserables' is the definition of the genre itself. This musical is two hours of non-stop songs. The characters talk sometimes, but very few. The melodies are perfect for each moment although it's difficult they snap so well with an extremely harsh story, an exercise in emotional attack, perhaps, for some it is too. But both the work and the Broadway show are like that. His intention is to break down all barriers with music to fill us with sensitivity.


In short, Tom Hooper has captured with great success, not only the spirit that breathes in the theater, but it has elevated above many of the film adaptations of a musical getting interpretations full of talent and melancholy drenched darkness, poverty and injustice. In a genre with many disappointments we find a function that would lift the public of their seats.
