Aw yiss so I went and saw the Les Miserables movie again on Friday night, this time with all my book knowledge, and TOOK COPIOUS NOTES while watching.
It was a strange feeling, watching the movie while note-taking. I found that it greatly lessened my emotional engagement with the story, which was really sad. I DIDN'T CRY AT THE END! I only even got teary-eyed a few times! BUT! Now I can SHARE WITH YOU my opinions about the movie. Um. This is like 6500 words long, which is utterly ridiculous and I AM AWARE. /o\
Let me begin by saying that after the movie I proceeded to spend the next ten minutes informing Mara (who I'd gone to see it with) about how disgraceful the relative lack of Combeferre was. He's one of the few Amis I could recognize relatively reliably, the others being Enjolras, Courfeyrac, Grantaire, and Joly. I'm bad with faces, so having five Amis reliably recognizable to me was DOING REALLY WELL. Anyways, this meant that I was keeping an eye out for him and he kept on being relegated to being super-background! WHAT NO! COMBEFERRE!
But let me do this in order. I will label my thoughts with numbers, since that way it will be easier for me to keep everything organized, since it's not like there's a logical flow of ideas here -- it's just THING! and ANOTHER THING! and ANOTHER THING!
( Spoilers, of course. Lots and lots and lots of spoilers. )
In conclusion: if you have thoughts or opinions or reactions to anything I have said please talk to me because in case you can't tell from the above 6500 words I LOVE TALKING ABOUT LES MISERABLES.
THE END.
