Round One: D1: Poll Four

"WHERE IS YOUR LEADER, JEAN VALJEAN?" can be found in: BBC 2018

Cracking Sound over the music in Javert's Suicide can be found in: LM 2012

PROPAGANDA:

"WHERE IS YOUR LEADER, JEAN VALJEAN":

Javert yelling this at Les Amis on the barricade is one of the all time bonkers moments of that adaptation

Nothing, just found that the Yellow Paper in lm 2012 dropped the c in empêchement.

Also, about the target place - according to the plot it should have been Pontarlier but written Grenoble? (at least it seems like

Another issue is about Faverolles: if to Google one can find many Faverolles in France but WHICH ONE? In lm 2012 it is Faverolles of Aisne (as is written), however it should be Faverolles d'Eure-et-Loir, referring to:

In the official cite of the latter Faverolles there is also an article:

AND ANOTHER THING i think les mis 2012 did that actually improved upon the musical:

having valjean lift the flag pole in the beginning! on stage there is no indication prior to the cart that he even really has this strength and we're just supposed to go along with yeah yeah hes SUPER strong but never get shown that before hand!

i watched the 25th anniversary concert within a day of rewatching 2012 les mis and if you ever want to get a good understanding of just how bad the music is in the movie i'd HIGHLY recommend comparing the two like this. the voice cracks, the sing-talking, the whispering, the wrong notes, all of these peculiarities from the film fall into sharp relief against the absolute masterful singing from the concert (minus nick jonas but tbh imho his performance is actually better than crowe's or jackman's bc at least he hits the right notes and doesn't sound like he's on death's door). if you don't have the desire to rewatch the movie but still want to explore the topic of its failures in depth, sideways made a great video essay on the topic that i'd highly recommend if you want to understand how truly bafflingly bad the movie's music is!

LM2012 this time! Javert wakes up from a dream and needs help of a decidedly different kind,,,

[seesboy]

it's embarrassing enough that i got so emotional over lm2012 last night but what's even worse is that i feel Worse now. i thought waking up at 4 am feeling physically sick over a movie was only reserved for Really Good Stuff but apparently not

me: i’m honestly not that into aa6 like all the writing isn’t as good and i’m not as invested in the characters and–

aa6: [has a revolution subplot]

me, a simple idiot who was raised on les mis during my formative years, openly sobbing: wow....,,truly the greatest art of our time.........t&t WHO your favorite aa title could never..........i hope datz are’bal knows i wld die for him in a heartbeat

[chronotopes]

if you’re wondering why sudden les mis reblogs the boys and i watched lm2012 expecting to goof on it but instead i just remembered it’s an extremely good novel and musical

WELCOME LOVERS OF LES MIS UNHINGED MOMENTS :D

I bring to you the Brackets, split into two sections of 64, because when I tried to do all 128 It kept crashing.

Google Sheets ended up being the easiest way for me to format it, since some of the moments were so long, but if you click on the cells, you should be able to read the whole thing! (thank you to @syrupsyche for testing this for me before I put it out here XD)

Once I get the polls going out, they'll last for one day, and when we get to the final result from each of the two brackets, they'll be placed in a final showdown, to determine the Ultimate Unhinged Les Mis Moment.

My Askbox is open for questions, or any Propaganda Submissions, or just cheering on your favorite moment you may want to send. I have a lot from the form, but more is always welcome!!

I'd like to extend special thanks to all who submitted Moments to the tournament, I did not realize there were so many Choices, both in the Brick, and Adaptations. XD As well as thanks to everyone who's been so patiently waiting as I go through the five stages of grief with Technical Difficulties called "I can't math" and "Oh Fuck I deleted the whole tournament".

Note that there were a few slightly nsfw submissions, which I will be tagging as #nsfw or #slight nsfw if you do want to avoid that! (Nothing Explicit, I am NOT putting a picture of the 2012 Santa Scene (which is definitely the most out there, but if you've seen LM2012, you've probably already seen it XD) lol, but I wanted to make a note on it just in case)

[ueinra]

This is hilarious because it's so TRUE!!

Like seriously, if we think about Valjean’s huge, strong hands that appear eerily out of nowhere at some moments in the book, make it impossible for Cosette not to be afraid of him.. However Hugo says she wasn't afraid tho lol.

sooooooo annoyed with myself for misplacing my lm2012 cinematography notes. i know they're around here somewhere and it's driving me nuts! i haven't decided if i'm going to make a video on it or just write up a post but my GOD is it worthy of a novel or an hours long video dedicated to just how weird it is!! everyone (understandably) shits on the bad music bc it's a MUSICal first and foremost, and i'm a huge fan of the video essay by sideways dissecting just how bad the score is, but rarely do i see anyone talk abt how bad the cinematography is as well!! it's claustrophobic!!! the dutch angles are so overused to the point of being meaningless!! the framing is straight up bad in some shots and during hathaway's big moment she's not even always in focus!!! what the actual fuck were they THINKING for the bridge scene!!!!!!! i have like eight or so full pages of commentary on every notable shot in the movie and holy hell did it give me an appreciation for how fucking bonkers some of the shots are!!!!!
