Les Miserables Review I had the pleasure to view Cheshire Academy's production of Les Miserables, written by Claude-Michel Schoenberg and Alain Boublilon on Friday February 23 in the Black Box Theatre. Les Miserables starts with a man named Jean Valjean. After serving 19 years for stealing bread, he is released by Inspector Javert. Once he is released he meets a young girl Fantine, a young girl left to take care of a child. Soon after she is forced to leave her child in someone else's care in order to find work to afford the child, she becomes ill. While on her death bed she asks Valjean to care for her daughter, Cosette. The next we see Cosette living in a brothel house where she is being treated very poorly by the masters of the house. Once Valjean finds Cosette, he pays to get her away from the house. Years later Valjean changes his name and becomes mayor of the town. As a young lady, a man named Marius catches sight of her and instantly falls in love. Sadly though, this...
overall i enjoyed this movie very much, even though it was quite different than our classes movie. in their movie you could definitely easily tell who’s character was who’s, and they kept it steady through out the whole movie. it was entertaining to watch and i enjoyed the music they picked. in this silent movie all the actors had really good facial expression. their face easily told the entire story. i also really enjoyed the music they picked while editing. i though it was very fitting and complimented the acting well. i also liked the comedy aspect of this movie, it made me laugh. one thing i think they could have done better would have been editing. if they had added in another sound affect here and there, or some words at the bottom i think it would have added more humor. all in all i really enjoyed their movie.
So far we have not gotten to the end of our first draft, but we are working hard. So far we have some two out of the four scenes we are planning on using for our project. In my opinion, our scenes turned out pretty good. I think they are going to spread a powerful message in the end, but also be a good form of theater. The way that we have been putting the scenes together has definitely been a process. We’ve had to change things around and start with new ideas for something else didn’t work. We still have to sell my other two scenes and put everything together, but I think it will be really good in the end.
