Enjolras, pierced by eight bullets, remained leaning against the wall, as though the balls had nailed him there. Only, his head was bowed.

Grantaire fell at his feet, as though struck by a thunderbolt.

Thoughts on BBC Les Mis portrayal of Courfeyrac? (He's so cute ugh)

I only watched the series once when it first aired in January, so my memory is a little faded, but I think I mostly liked their Courfeyrac, although I wish they had shown more of his friendship with Marius.

Another thing I was thinking about re: BBC Les Mis, is how Andrew Davies uses brutality? Because like. We see Thenardier beating Madame Thenardier in front of others, which frankly is a weird use of brutality even though he IS brutal (I mean, dang, he makes his daughter break a window with her hand later on, like, damn), and we also see Madame Thenardier chasing Cosette around with a belt, which while totally a thing I’d believe, there’s also a jeering crowd? AND we had to see Fantine’s teeth removal in this awful, gory detail. AND we had to see a convict get executed. Don’t get me wrong, there’s so much brutal stuff that happens in Les Mis, the brutality of society is a big part of the point, but I often feel like Andrew Davies isn’t trying to show us the common brutality of society at the time, but more like he’s just trying to shock us? Like brutality for brutality’s sake, instead of using it to hit and drive the deeply emotional beats of the novel.

Like, for instance, when Valjean goes to Arras, you see the convicts getting the iron collars put around their necks. This has almost no significance other than to be brutal, but you know would have really driven it home emotionally? If he maybe had shown us for instance, the bit where Valjean first gets the iron collar put on him and cries like in the brick! Cause it’s the last time he cries for a REALLY LONG TIME, and then him seeing that later on would be So Much. Like sure, we see him with the iron collar in Toulon, but it still just doesn’t resonate the way I feel like something like that might have?

I dunno, I just feel like if you’re going to show brutality, make the brutality matter to the larger theme and point of the text you’re adapting or the story you’re telling. Andrew Davies seems to get that yes, there’s lots and lots of brutal stuff in Les Mis, but he doesn’t seem to understand the core of WHY, and also that the themes of the novel are fighting against that brutality. It’s why he’s gotten Valjean so wrong at so many points (other than his scenes with little Cosette this episode). Because Valjean has seen and experienced SO MUCH brutality, and yet because of the bishop, and because of who he was before prison, who he is at his core, he’s a quiet, kind, sweet man, and not this Shouty Weirdo who kicks a desperate mother out of his factory. It’s like Davies is trying to say “oh, he falls prey to the brutality he experienced” but the point of the book is that HE DOES NOT DO THAT. Anyway, that’s my slightly incoherent Ted Talk.

Thank you for this commentary. This whole angry-shouting-guys gritty reboot is not pleasing me, and teasing out why it feels so wrong is therapeutic.

Maybe I’m reaching, but it makes me feel weird so far it’s WOMEN who get the worst of it. Someone could probably read deeper and better into this than I can, but along with Davies saying something like “the women in the book aren’t very complex” make me suspicious.

kcrabb88

Oh, I don’t think you’re reaching at all! I did not care for the way he framed Fantine’s fall, because he showed us very little of Fantine’s spirit as this stuff started to happen, and focused on the gore of things like her teeth, etc. His attitude toward the women in the book is…concerning. I think the thing is that like, yes the book is making a point about the plight of women! And bad things happen to Fantine! But there’s something about the WAY he’s portraying that that bothers me. I guess it feels like when Fantine becomes victimized by society she starts to lose her personality in this adaptation, which is not how it goes in the book. Lily Collins tried REALLY hard and I liked her, but the script just did not do it justice.

In my quest to actually sort out my feelings re: BBC Les Mis, I decided I should rewatch the 1998 movie, since I got constant flashbacks to it while watching the miniseries.

And I’ve already run into a crucial revelation:

The font really does look a lot better WHEN IT’S NOT BRIGHT RED.

Hi! Sorry to bother you, but could you post the link to the 6th episode to download again? Unfortunately I can't find it on your dash

It’s not me who shares the links actually, it’s @bbclesmis, but anyway, you can find them all here!

#ask #anon #yo ho

wewillbehappyagain

ok i’m not mad at bbc if it’s realistic but did they call each other comrade??? like was that a thing?

vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo

They do use the word “camarade” in the Brick, although most of them prefer “citoyen”. But I actually liked that change. Both words have a different connotation nowadays, and “citizen” has a ton of baggage right now, considering all the talk of who is or is not one (even if in context it’s obvious that the characters aren’t using it that way).

You could count that as part of updating the language. And also it’s not exactly wrong, they just use it more than in the Brick.

#oh nice #i guess i'm just not accustomed to hearing it #les mis bbc #text
