He decided to let his cast sing live on camera throughout the film, which I considered artistically daring and unique, aiming to replicate the spontaneity and freshness that have bewitched fans of the stage show and brought out the best in the actors. Actors lip-sync to songs on a pre-recorded track to some of the screen musicals that existed today, but Hooper’s direction was beyond more than that. Tom Hooper took a good risk in directing the stage musical Les Misérables, which itself has been adapted from Victor Hugo’s immense novel. As the years progress and the French Revolution begins to foment, a grown Cosette falls for a passionate revolutionary named Marius (Eddie Redmayne), while Javert begins to close in again on Valjean’s secret past. Years later, he adopts Cosette (Amanda Seyfried), daughter of Fantine played by Anne Hathaway, a former employee of his who became a prostitute and died. Javert played by Russell Crowe - the officer in charge of the prison workforce vows to bring Valjean back in prison as he became obsessed with his capture. After he was released, he broke his parole until a priest came to help which triggered a change in him and later reinvented himself as a pillar of society and factory owner. He was imprisoned for a total of 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread - an act of desperation for which he is unjustly punished. At the beginning of the movie, the main character was then introduced and named as Jean Valjean (24601) played by Hugh Jackman. I can tell the title was well thought even the story which was centered on the lives of the characters during the French Revolution (the 1800’s). As I’ve watched the two and a half hours long movie, I’ve come to understand the significance of the title since I haven’t read the novel the movie was based on yet.
