Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The film version of hugos epic tale of love honor and obsession. Location shooting provides beautiful scenes of the european countryside. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/27/2007 Starring: Liam Neeson Geoffrey Rush Run time: 134 minutes Rating: Pg13
Amazon.com:
Frenchman Jean Valjean (Liam Neeson), imprisoned for stealing bread, is paroled after nearly two decades of hard labor. A gift of silver candlesticks from a kindly priest helps him begin anew. Forging a decent and profitable existence, he finds success as a businessman and as the mayor of a small town. He even takes in a pregnant young woman (Uma Thurman) and raises her daughter as his own. When a former prison guard (Geoffrey Rush) recognizes Valjean, his past catches up to him. Director Bille August culls mesmerizing performances from his cast, but loses us with an ending that panders to teen audiences. The focus shifts dramatically, and uncomfortably, from the haunted Neeson and his hawk-like pursuer, to his daughter (Claire Danes) and her romance with a handsome revolutionary. After this narrative shift, the script leaves behind the Victor Hugo classic's themes of revenge and redemption to focus improbably on teen angst--hardly what Hugo had on his mind. --Rochelle O'Gorman

- 3.5 stars out of 4The Bottom Line:
This version of Les Miserables is well-acted with good production values and a fine sense of what to cut and what to keep from Hugos' mammoth novel; it's a worthy adaptation and a very good film.
Rating:
- Screenplay butcheryThis is a visually stunning movie but the screenplay did unpardonable things to the story. I can forgive rearranging things a bit to make it easier to film, but this changed fundamentals of the original moral message and of the basic natures of the characters.
Sadly, I don't think the Richard Jordan-Anthony Perkins version is available in its entirety. It looks campy, but the screenplay was far more faithful to the spirit of the novel.
Rating:
- A Moving MasterpieceI never cease to be touched by this film; it's one of the few movies I can call "powerful" without being overdramatic.
The story centers on Jean Valjean, a convict -- how his life was transformed by the action of a selfless clergyman, and how his own life transforms those around him. It is very much a story about hope, the rarity and value of selflessness and true love and how it transforms the soul more readily than punishment, and the salvation of the human condition.
