@deanduncan63Saw #LesMisérables (2012). Appreciated the live vocals. Makes it into a musical/concoction and a performance documentary …
… bringing it somewhat into this exhilarating, live-wire realm: http://bit.ly/1qonZXM
#LesMisérables brought to mind J. Mankiewicz/MGM’s Guys & Dolls (’55), another film complicated & deepened by the presence of non & semi-singers.
#LesMisérables. Snark & bile bug me. Leave Russell Crowe alone! Brought his customary physical force …
… sang reasonably & resolutely what little melody the score gave him, communicated his character’s constancy & intransigence …
… and his agonizing change of heart as well. Plus, he contributed another one of what’s becoming a litany of superb screen deaths.
#LesMisérables. Musicals are ridiculous. So is resisting gravity, entropy & the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Try anyway! A noble source, nobly served.
