問題詳情


(C) The famous novelist Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables, inspired Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s musical 118 years later. Since the first public performance in Paris in 1980, the story of good vs. evil has won eight Tonys, been translated into 21 languages, been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and launched untold thousands of high school productions.Now the movie is going to be shown on Christmas Day. In the movie, all the singing is live, to the camera: no lip-synching, no overdubs. Wearing radio microphones hidden in their costumes, the actors sang to live piano accompaniment. Only after filming was the orchestration added. According to the filmmakers, Les Miz is likely the first musical in movie history to pull this off.Though the performances differed from take to take, the actors were still singing the same well-known, time-tested songs. The director Tom Hooper says he had doubted about the contemporary resonance of Les Miz: “Is it still relevant? The thing that struck me is that we’re still living at a time when a lot of people are hurting around the world because of economic and social inequity, and there’s tremendous anger about the system, just like what happened hundred years ago.”“We live in a selfish age and we project various versions of ourselves.” Hooper says. “But you have to tell this story from the point of view that God exists. And what God means in practice is the act of compassion, the struggle of living your life in a moral way.” “Les Miz is the great anthem of the dispossessed,” Hooper says. “It offers this comfort that we as a collective can rise up against the system and change it for the better.”
