VHS Movie Reviews of Les Miserables [VHS]
Movie Review: actor Jean Gabin(1955);Front RowEntertainments;4 Tapes
Summary: 4 Stars
2/23/03 The 4 tape edition of "Les Miserables"(French Adaptation,dubbed in English,210 minutes,distributed by Front row Entertainments Inc. (P.O. Box 5891,Edison,New Jersey,USA 08818-6891) reads more like a post World War I film in its "noire' type settings(it is not surprizing that it was done that way since actor Jean Gabin(in role of Jean Valjean) was born in 1904(and was in his prime between World War I & World War II) and possibly would have wanted as much authencity as possible in "Les Miserables"'s theme re 'haves,have-nots and the role of "Women,Wine,Song", "Universities","Judicial","Legislative" and "attempted coupe(s)" in 'Societial Evolutions'....it varies much from the other versions(Movies & plays) of "Les Miserables" but is truer to(translation by Norman Denny) Penguins's book of "Les Miserables(ISBN 0140444300)" a translation of 1252 pages(incl of Appendix A(Pg 1202,Appendix B (Pg 1214) etc..The Appendix(s) help even better to have the reader(s) of the book as well as viewer(s) of the play(s) and movie(s) to see "Les Miserables" as more than a sentimental story.Movie Review: It's allright
Summary: 3 Stars
Well after watching the first of the 4 tapes, I resolved to watch the rest in B&W, due to the fact that the movie is an extremely old movie(i believe made around 30's or 40's) and that the color which was added makes it hard to watch in any other way but B&W.Though overlooking that and watching it in B&W It seems to be a decent version. Though they do take liberties with the book and seem to rush through at times, it is nontheless as I have stated a decent version.
Speaking of liberties for of the book, take for example this: (this made me want to choke the director lol)
We all know that in the book theindar(think i spelled it right oh well) Was a scoundrel and thief, who robbed corpses; well in the movie they show him as a cowardly sargeant at the battle of waterloo.
As for rushing through, the whole fantine / and Jean val jean taking care of her was completely rushed through. As was Jean val jean's rescue of cossete rom the Theindar's. Which the meshed together with his fleeing from Javert in paris. They almost exclusivly left out the Convent scenes(which were reduced to like 3 min worth of film.
So over all I would say 2 and 3/4 stars.
