les Miserables
Les Miserables has many forms of textual versions and one of these is the Movie. If you compared it with the abridged text version we are reading, you'll get so confused if you haven't read the book. In the movie there was a prologue; when a hand was holding a bracelet. The atmosphere and tone is sad/melancholy. But there were parts were the setting would just change, just like when Marius and Cosette would meet. The two lovers set up a new mood in the story. For every scene, the mood would change. You feel more emotions in the movie compared to the text version. For me the setting of the movie doesn't have a big difference in the book. It is only more detailed in the book compared to the movie. The chronology of events and plot is very different. The opening scene shows Jean Valjean walking going to Digne. When he stole the candlesticks Bishop Myriel wakes up and Jean Valjean shows himself from the shadow and slaps the bishop so hard that he fell to the ground and lay there unconsciously. The following day you see him with a big red mark on his cheek. You really can see how strong Valjean is. Jean Valjean became the Mayor of Montreu
Some characters also portrayed bigger and better roles. " Le Cabuc was a spy of Javert, the reason why Valjean knows the two lovers where secretly meeting was because of Javerts letter to him while in the book, Marius sends a letter to Cosette to Gavroche and Valjean was the one who reads it. Also, if you compare the reaction of Valjean in the book and Valjean in the movie, you see that he became more emotional in the book. The different characters were not given big roles and were not even mentioned in the movie. The Text Version was ofcourse more detailed compared to the movie but you will feel more impact and emotions in the film because you don't have to imagine it. The movie has more of a happy ending and the audience will decide of what will happen to the different characters compared to the book that every character had it's own ending. He gets Cosette from the Thenardiers not from money but by the letter of Fantine. The attitude of Cosette is really different from the book. For instance, the Thenardiers who has a big part in the novel from books one to five was given a small role when Valjean gets Cosette. Monsieur Mabeuf, Monsieur Gillenormand, and the friend of ABC were not mentioned also. It was so funny and it really looks so realistic. il-sur-mer, it was not really clear how he became the Mayor. She is known as the sweet and loving daughter of Valjean but she can be a rebellion because of love. But if you really want to understand all about Les Miserables, the book would be more reliable. " I think every one cried when he got shot.
