Accretion (1963 words) by Lady_of_the_Refrigerator Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Les Misérables (Movie 1978), Les Misérables - All Media Types, Les Misérables - Victor Hugo Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Javert/Jean Valjean Characters: Javert (Les Misérables), Jean Valjean, Cosette Fauchelevent, Fantine (Les Misérables) Additional Tags: Javert (Perkins) - Freeform, Jean Valjean (Jordan) - Freeform, Montreuil-sur-Mer, Enemies to Lovers, Lovers to Friends, Bottom Javert (Les Misérables), Top Jean Valjean, Sequel Series: Part 2 of Erosion Summary: "Anger rose up within Javert as the stark reality of the scene before him began to set in. Anger towards the innkeepers for their abhorrent conduct, to be sure, but perhaps even more anger that Valjean had been correct. The conditions at the inn were indeed abysmal, the girl neglected even worse than a lonely gamin living on the street. At least a gamin could squirrel away a possession or two of their own, and decide for themself their own actions, corrupt or legitimate. This girl had no such control of her own destiny."

old men from classic french lit. You know

[incidentalblr]

javert going “there is no place for you to hide” while valjean goes “this i swear to you tonight” is big “i thought you gave ME your sacred promise” energy

[semyazzayee]

Edit about when that neuron hit me with "wait, that camera movement through perkinsvert's body but it's the typical music of when the sexy bad girl protagonist's love interest enters the room With a remarkably attractive air with her

(Something like Lola Rabbit Or Tina from the Mask)

And of course, the music from Scooby Doo's live action movie because perkinsvert reaction = Shaggy's reaction (And bc I don't remember any other scene with the introduction music idk)

Shitty edits rules >:]]

Les mis '78 made me love Anthony Perkins and take an interest in investigating more about him. You saw me fall into Perkins madness you are so right @to23623ken 😔...

Please mind the #wineposting tag. Regardless: are you asking, "Should I watch this adaptation of Les Misérables?" I'll give you advice, though I suspect if you are reading this blog post you have watched all of these anyway (and quite possibly a few more, besides!).

'25 (Fescourt): Probably! If you are a Brick fan none of the adaptation choices will startle you, but having visuals to go with key scenes is a treat. This is a loyal piece. Toulout as Javert, Gabrio as Valjean, Milovanoff as Fantine, and Nivette as Éponine all give excellent performances. Be prepared for a lukewarm Cosette. You might struggle with silent film conventions, length, and French intertitles.

'34 (Bernard): Probably! This is a fairly loyal adaptation of the Brick that makes internally consistent choices where it deviates from its source (sometimes it has goofy continuity errors—politely ignore). Baur as Valjean and Gaël as Cosette give fabulous performances. Moments of silliness do not detract from the quality. Another long haul.

'35 (Boleslawski): Probably not. As an adaptation of Les Misérables this film is bad. That being said, Charles Laughton is a lauded actor, and you can't say he didn't put his whole laughussy into his performance. Because it is accessible and prominent, a lot of LM fans will have seen this film, and you might benefit from shared context if you're in fandom. Speaking personally, I'm glad I saw it, but I'm not sure you will be.

'52 (Milestone): No. Most likely based on '35 rather than on the book, this film is also a bad adaptation of Les Misérables. There are no notable performances. Because it is accessible, this is another adaptation many fans are familiar with, but understanding jokes about Valjean's boyfriend Robert and Javert's sentient hat probably don't justify sitting through the movie.

'58 (Le Chanois): No. Not the English dub, at least. "Bland" is the word of the day. Contemporary French audiences wildly disagree with me per Wikipedia.

'72 (Bluwal): Strong maybe. If you are an intense fan of the Brick, yes. Its use of a narrator to draw from the novel directly and its focus on the Amis makes this adaptation unique on this list. You might not end up liking it but you will have had an experience. If you have zero investment in Les Misérables but are still reading this post for some reason: no, do not watch this.

'78 (Jordan): At some point I will talk about this film and not make a gay joke but today is not that day. If you are not queer, get off my blog, you cis straight, begone. Everyone else: yes, watch this movie, c'mon. Perkins. That performance. At some point I need to make a serious post about queerness and '78 but right now all I've got is Javert's literal on-screen boner. Jesus Christ. Not a great adaptation of the novel but a virtuoso example of unintentional homoeroticism.

'82 (Hossein): No. This is an odd little adaptation without the charisma of a '35 or '78, somehow not as bad as either of those but not as good either. The GIF of the Amis walking in heavy wind is the best this film has to offer.

'98 (August): No—but I stared into my wine glass for a long, long time before typing those two letters. If we are judging adaptations by how they handle the source material, this is a disaster. As a film? I'm sure entertained. I call it bitchslap Les Mis. I should note here I am also a huge fan of Uma Thurman. Possibly I should recuse myself. I don't know, pal. IDK.

2012 (Hooper): I dwell bitterly on the fact that this is our film version of the musical. Brick fans are restless, musical fans are restless. People who first encountered Les Mis via this version are making feral noises. I'm afraid. I'm moving on.

2018 (Davies): It's really unfortunate that I am at my most drunk while commenting on this adaptation. Sure, watch it, it's one of those BBC series that has watchability sheerly because of production value and proximity to contemporary narrative/film expectations/standards. Personally I hate it. My partner is so tired of the tone in which I utter the syllables "Oyelowo".

The Musical: yes c'mon. Bootleg that good bitch.

[ruedesfillesducalvaire]

since I was just listening to the french version of 'stars' I have to add

'Je ne faiblirai point tant qu'il ne sera pas / À genoux devant moi.'

(I will never weaken until / He is on his knees before me)

ok javert....

u know, im reminded that i drunk watched les mis 1978 really late at night a few weeks back (literally babys first les mis i was Not familiar with the story at all prior to this) and i could not stop cackling at all the times javert is standing there just looking at valjean with barely contained rage and lust like he wants to fuck him sooo bad but channels it all into putting his valjean back into a cage where he can admire him doing hard labour foreveeer. absolutely pathetic levels of obsession. are they all like this??? they should have made out sloppy style in that alleyway and then maybe he wouldnt have done a 360 degree front flip into the river. movie of all time.

It’s like those superb lyrics from the musical —

Lord let me find him, That I may see him, Safe in my arms behind bars <333

[ineffable-gallimaufry]

well, i watched les mis '78 and let me tell you... that was certainly one way to make les mis a movie

Erosion (5789 words) by Lady_of_the_Refrigerator Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Les Misérables (Movie 1978), Les Misérables - All Media Types Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Javert/Jean Valjean Characters: Javert (Les Misérables), Jean Valjean Additional Tags: Javert (Perkins) - Freeform, Valjean (Jordan) - Freeform, Montreuil-sur-Mer, Bottom Javert (Les Misérables), Top Jean Valjean, Wall Sex, Hate Sex, First Time, Enemies to Lovers, Shameless Smut Summary: Valjean took a shaky breath as a flush crept over his cheeks. “Why?” he asked. Javert very nearly laughed. Such a simple word. A simple question. A lifetime worth of justifications. “The love of the chase,” Javert said, and then he wrenched his neck forward so he could claim Valjean’s mouth roughly.

[anglerflsh]

They should let me write a movie adaptation on les mis I'd do such a great job I promise. Every thirty minutes the actual movie gets interrupted by a documentary on something barely relevant and you think it isn't part of the movie but actually it is and you have to sit down and watch those bits fully that's the intended vision

[incidentalblr]

i came up with a 78 les mis drinking game but alas i am not 21 so here y’all can have it:

• take a shot whenever javert looks at valjean lustfully

• take a shot every time valjean does that stupid fucking run

• take a shot every time an action sequence looks like it could be from looney tunes (e.g. fantine doing the thriller when she dies, the random civillian hiding behind a wall to trip valjean and then just leaving)

• take a shot every time the irons should be constricting the prisoners’ movements more than they are

• take a shot every time a new male suitor for valjean is introduced (there are a lot of them actually)

• take a shot every time something sounds like a euphemism (e.g. “beads? you make beads here?”)

• and, last, but certainly not least, take a shot every time anthony perkins has a visible boner (IT’S TWO TIMES IT’S TWO WHOLE TIMES WHO LET THIS MOVIE HAPPEN IT’S BATSHIT INSANE)

VIRGINIA MAESTRO.. siguiendo con la tragedia (aunque no se de que murio) de tu amigo de adolescencia en CORDOBA "ALVARO DE RUEDA OÑORO (=apellido de mi abuela MAGDALENA o Mujer de mi ABUELO SALVADOR y la cual murio DE CANCER justo antes de nacer YO).. la frontera entre ESPAÑA Y PORTUGAL en SALAMANCA (x donde la CRUZE en agosto 22 en HARLEY tras dormir en su HOTEL CORONA SOL camino de OPORTO) es FUENTES DE OÑORO y sale en la pelicula LISBOA de 1999 donde un tal ALVARO [q muere en supuesto Accidente] es el AMANTE [y socio de su marido] de una tal BERTA Y SU MADRE.. La cual (Berta) tiene un accidente y la busca su Marido Corrupto al q va a DELATAR.. y al final BERTA se SUICIDA.. y sale FUENTES DE OÑORO en lugar de la Frontera x BADAJOZ xq se la encontraron entonces (1999) totalmente DESMONTADA:

"Lisboa”, es un largometraje dirigido en 1999 por el peñarandino Antonio Hernández, un thriller, con estructura de road movie, mezclando corrupción con una total falta de escrúpulos por parte de los protagonistas y unas finanzas nada claras en el seno de una burguesía acaudalada.1

Varios de los momentos decisivos de su metraje, en su tramo final nos llevan hasta la frontera portuguesa de Fuentes de Oñoro en octubre de 1998. Inicialmente, ese escenario no estaba previsto, pero cuando el equipo de rodaje se acercó a la aduana de Badajoz, —la acción se desarrolla en esa zona de la Península —, encontró desmontado el entramado fronterizo, lo que obligó a recurrir al paso de Fuentes de Oñoro–Vilar Formoso. Así, por exigencias del guion y de modo anecdótico la frontera salmantina aparece en la representación como la provincia de Badajoz, por lo que fueron cambiados los letreros de la carretera.2

En su trama, João, un joven portugués vendedor de cintas de vídeo y música, encuentra, una día en la carretera tras un accidente, a Berta una mujer demacrada pero de buena posición, quien le pide que la lleve a Lisboa, a lo que accede reticentemente. Pero al no fiarse de ella avisa a su familia aunque ésta insiste en quedarse con él, entregándole una llave de un apartado de correos lisboeta que contiene información comprometedora sobre las actividades fraudulentas y delictivas de su marido. Por otro lado Berta y su madre comparten amante, Álvaro, antiguo socio del marido de ésta, quien acaba de morir –en el comienzo del film– en un accidente de tráfico del que ella culpa a su familia. Posteriormente, convencido ya de que la mujer no miente João la lleva a Badajoz para despistar a su familia, pero se arrepiente y la deja en una gasolinera, aunque regresa de nuevo. Entretanto aparece José Luis, marido de Berta que los persigue y con ayuda de un sicario les hace hablar, obliga a su mujer a irse con él y a João a devolver la llave. Mientras, éste le hace llegar a Berta una pistola por si se decide a usarla…

3 > > Así, por exigencias del guion y de modo anecdótico la frontera salmantina aparece en la representación como la provincia de Badajoz, por lo que fueron cambiados los letreros de la carretera.

Las escenas filmadas en este límite salmantino entre los dos países aportan las imágenes de los tramos finales de la película. Tramos en los que los planos filman unas espectaculares panorámicas en picado que muestran amplios espacios de la zona de la aduana, el paso fronterizo, La Pedresina, y otros edificios del entorno.4

La recopilación de estas imágenes en las que Fuentes de Oñoro aparece en escena son las siguientes: (62’11”-62’26”). Paso fronterizo de Fuentes de Oñoro, por donde cruza el protagonista, João, hacia Portugal.

(65’00”-65’32”). Fugaz regreso por el mismo lugar del vendedor portugués. Más tarde, dentro del Bar–Restaurante La Pedresina, le pide al camarero que le guarde una bolsa donde esconde la llave que le ha dado Berta.

(78´57”-84´46”). Llegada de Berta, acompañada de su familia y por João, de nuevo a la explanada entre La Pedresina y la gasolinera. El grupo ha de esperar hasta el amanecer a la apertura del establecimiento. En esa tensa espera José Luis le confiesa a su mujer que Álvaro era su amante sólo por su dinero y que debe convencerse de que la muerte de éste fue “un accidente”.

(84’46”-93’36”, Final). Amanece. João irá por el paquete al bar. Planos del paso fronterizo. Entra acompañado por José Luis, deben esperar que llegue el camarero al que entregó la bolsa. Desayunan. José Luis le da a João un cheque por valor de 3 millones de pesetas para que se compre un coche, en compensación por los destrozos ocasionados al suyo al capturarles. Llega el camarero, le entrega la bolsa a João quien a su vez se la da a José Luis con la llave del apartado de correos. Planos generales enfocando al pueblo y al paso fronterizo. Antes, el portugués ha sacado de la misma bolsa una pistola y se la hace llegar a Berta. La familia se marcha, se ofrecen más planos del lugar. Berta se suicida, salen del coche, José Luis y João se miran, el primero se vuelve a meter en el vehículo y se marchan, lo importante para él era que su mujer no hablara. Nuevos planos de la iglesia oñorense y de la frontera, hacia la que se dirige João cojeando, imágenes con las que termina el filme.5

Asimismo, Antonio Hernández ha indicado que, en otras escenas de la película, se insertaron imágenes rodadas en carreteras y márgenes del tramo entre La Fuente de San Esteban y Ciudad Rodrigo, aunque en el desarrollo de la acción figuren engarzadas entre otras localizaciones.

Cuando la cinta se presentó en junio de 1999 en el I Festival de Cine Español de Málaga, Sergi López consiguió el premio al mejor actor del certamen. El film tuvo muy buena acogida entre el público y la crítica, hasta el punto que la Twentieth Century Fox, le propuso a Hernández rodar un remake de la cinta en Estados Unidos, quien rechazó la oferta alegando que no se sentía capaz de hacer dos veces la misma película.
