Les Miserables is an upcoming film musical that
has gotten quite the attention of late. The film is based on a previous musical
done by which is also based on the French novel in 1862 by Victor Hugo.
One thing that has critics raving about this film is its
production. All the songs will be recorded and performed live on set, which has
been dubbed as the world’s first. Such a unique take on a film is certain to
draw audiences from far and wide.
I am certainly not one to sit through a musical but this one
seems different. The trailer had a way of captivating me and keeping my
attention. That along with my background knowledge of its production made it
even more appealing.
Where I believe this movie will excel the most is the
character dialogue and cinematography. Musicals have such a great way of
illustrating a characters intentions and making them more lively much so than a
normal film would. During the filming of the movie each actor had one chance to
get it right because it was all live singing. Hugh Jackman was quoted as saying
it made him show and bring out the most of himself than any other film he’s
done. It made each actor reach into their inner feelings in order to voice or
sing out what their character is feeling. This is what makes musicals so
effective.
Russell Crowe said “It is once in a lifetime”. It is a very
organic idea, and has me excited to go watch it.
The movie starring Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe is set for release on December 25.
