#Les Mis 1982

@pilferingapples​ asked me to post this reaction image I made, inspired by the Amount of Weather the creators of Les Mis 1982 had to deal with when filming.

grantaire for the blorbo bleebus form

Do you know the door you just opened for asking about him. My man. It’s been how many years since I got into les mis and I’ve seen way to many versions- read the brick twice and this Mf remains in my head rent free. I think I’m out of it and he’s just sitting there.

Really wish I could’ve seen Steven as R, but the guy in the Us tour two years ago was great. Raymond is still a fav and I think if we look past the many many mistakes of BBC les mis - they had one of the Best R’s

Also worth mentioning the 1982? 84? French film for as fucking weird as it got in some places was good, anything is better then the fucking 70s one. (If I remember right I had a night where I binged all the movie versions I could get hold of)

Another side tangent but the more I watch the more I grow to really dislike the 2012 movie and realize it kinda fundamentally ruined how people view most characters at least fandom wise. 25th anniversary and all star recording proved you can do The Whole Musical and people will go nuts (and they just stood there imagine with a movie budget!!) it especially did wild amounts of damage to R- like taking out almost all of his lines and then giving him his solo only to not actually include it in the fucking movie and taking away his relationship with Gavroche (don’t get me wrong it’s cute with courf but only serves to remove even more from R’s character, complexity and role within the movie).

A special shout-out to Les Misérables 1982 for giving us the closest thing that we might ever see to the Némorin sequence being implemented in an on-screen adaptation of Hugo’s story.

Whilst we don’t witness Montparnasse go and encounter Éponine directly, we do see Éponine and Azelma keep watch and get arrested by the police… and as the police leave, taking Éponine and Azelma away with them, who should emerge from the shadows but our favourite devilish dandy. This certainly implies that he was lurking around waiting for Éponine, or perhaps they had already slipped away for a tryst and returned back to Gorbeau before the arrest happened.

I’m also very grateful to this adaptation for giving us a further interaction between these characters after Éponine and Azelma are released from prison. There isn’t much to this scene I’m afraid, but I am particularly fond of how Montparnasse is characterised here as being perhaps a little enamoured with Éponine.

He might be playing it cool at first, but his sweet smile, longing glances and general focus on Éponine betray him later in the scene. He practically looks love-struck!

It’s extremely interesting to me to examine how different adaptations represent Éponine and Montparnasse’s dynamic, and this certainly is the softest Montparnasse portrayal that I have seen on screen to date!

Saw the 1982 French adaptation of Les Misérables today. The parallel between the very first and very last scenes made me choke.

À Toulon ... (In Toulon...)

"Vous êtes libre." (You are free.)

"Maintenant, vous êtes libre." (Now, you are free.)

... dans les limbes. (...in limbo.)

So obviously it inspired me to draw another little something heavily based on that. I however chose to draw the characters the way I envision them (do note that the Valjean design will probably change, as I did not think it through too much yet!) instead of the actors themselves.

And honestly, it had been a while since the last time I was so productive in terms or drawing...!

Another day, another adaptation: the 1982 French film, this round. The fact that every adaptation makes at least one lunatic choice really keeps my hyperfixation hyperfixating. Standout points:

This is the dirtiest Les Mis, and I don't mean because there's a nip slip. Streets, clothes, faces, interior walls of buildings: just about everything is dirty at best and caked in filth at worst.

Michel Bouquet's Javert has a parallel with Oyelowo's, which—shockingly—I don't mean as a critique (much): they are depicted as cleaning up their offices with the Paris police, Bouquet very literally (six months into his tenure, he drags his fingers across a painting in his office, streaking through thick dust; eight years later, he repeats the gesture, but this time to remove the barest fleck), and there's a definite career arc subplot for both. In BBC 2018 this is because the narrative thinks Javert is a badass; I'm less clear on what '82 is going for.

Lino Ventura has an interesting, craggy, wrinkly, mobile face, and he utilizes it thoroughly through Valjean's different iterations, from the slack and suffering convict to the dignity of Mayor Madeleine and somewhere in-between as Ultime Fauchelevent.

Award for most bombastic and cheerful Amis ever. The polycule energy is strong. Instead of OFPD, the entire line-up gets the firing squad treatment at once (bewildering and delightful, this sequence includes time pausing for everyone except Grantaire, who grabs a last drink and strolls over to the others, there to take his place for the final shot; someone gimme the fanfic in which he has time-based superpowers, please).

Instead of an intimate moment between her and Marius, Éponine's death includes the Amis standing in a semi-circle around the two of them. Marius proceeds not to grant her dying wish for a kiss. Awkward.

In a change which makes zero sense to me, Valjean survives an additional five years in this adaptation—but this ain't a fix-it fanfic. He severs ties with Cosette utterly the day of her wedding and lives in increasingly filthy solitude (this would not be '82 without filth). For extra pathos, in an irrelevant scene he's depicted collapsing in the street and being robbed. He dies alone, painfully, crying out for Cosette, having suffered a final vision of her and Marius frolicking down a lane (his horrified reaction to this, unlike everything else happening here, is certainly Brick-compliant). Catherine is present and possibly cursed?

Please, the final scene, dwell on it with me. It mirrors the first scene of the film: convicts in chains shuffle bare-footed through mud; one collapses; we see others labor to pull carts full of stone; Javert calls Valjean's name; we see Valjean pulling a cart alone;—in the first scene, Javert then says "You are free", but in the final, "Now you are free". Both are in their old-man wigs and makeup. We have been hit over the head with a point one can certainly derive from the novel, that Valjean's suffering ends only after death (or, in the case of '82, after a little purgatory). But! That it was all Toulon—awful. And that Javert is his final voice of salvation—weird, and AWFUL.

Interesting that '82 is so profoundly grim for Valjean despite clearly, from the Amis, having the capacity for cheerfulness. Not sure what to do with that!

Anyway, my favorite character in this adaptation is Combeferre's beard.

[eta] Forgot: there is the lead-up to the coffin heist and lead-up to Marius lobbing the "les cognes sont là" note into the room during the Gorbeau ambush, but the film does not actually include either of these events—I'd almost wonder if there's a missing scene somewhere for the former, but the latter is simply a dropped thread.

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - The Bishop in the Presence of an Unknown Light, LM 1.1.10 (Les Miserables 1982)

“Bishop,” said he, with a slowness which probably arose more from his dignity of soul than from the failing of his strength, “I have passed my life in meditation, study, and contemplation. I was sixty years of age when my country called me and commanded me to concern myself with its affairs. I obeyed. Abuses existed, I combated them; tyrannies existed, I destroyed them; rights and principles existed, I proclaimed and confessed them. Our territory was invaded, I defended it; France was menaced, I offered my breast. I was not rich; I am poor. I have been one of the masters of the state; the vaults of the treasury were encumbered with specie to such a degree that we were forced to shore up the walls, which were on the point of bursting beneath the weight of gold and silver; I dined in Dead Tree Street, at twenty-two sous. I have succored the oppressed, I have comforted the suffering. I tore the cloth from the altar, it is true; but it was to bind up the wounds of my country. I have always upheld the march forward of the human race, forward towards the light, and I have sometimes resisted progress without pity. I have, when the occasion offered, protected my own adversaries, men of your profession. And there is at Peteghem, in Flanders, at the very spot where the Merovingian kings had their summer palace, a convent of Urbanists, the Abbey of Sainte Claire en Beaulieu, which I saved in 1793. I have done my duty according to my powers, and all the good that I was able. After which, I was hunted down, pursued, persecuted, blackened, jeered at, scorned, cursed, proscribed. For many years past, I with my white hair have been conscious that many people think they have the right to despise me; to the poor ignorant masses I present the visage of one damned. And I accept this isolation of hatred, without hating any one myself. Now I am eighty-six years old; I am on the point of death. What is it that you have come to ask of me?” “Your blessing,” said the Bishop.

Montparnasse and Magnon in Les Misérables (1982) [Source]

Please note that the archive source incorrectly labels the characters in this still as La Thénardier and Gavroche, which makes me giggle.

#montparnasse #magnon #love the presence of Magnon— and her unique role— in this particular adaptation! #I’ve (unofficially) decided that the two other women in this picture are Fauntleroy and Les-pieds-en-l’air respectively #les miserables #les mis #lm 1982 #adaptations

[valvertweek]

And that's a wrap on our second Valvert Week!

Thank you everyone who participated! It's always so fun to do this week with how diverse the fandom is. Both in fan content but in main media. We have people who love Phillip Quast, Les Mis 2000, non-replica musicals, book fans, surprisingly a lot of fans of Les Mis 1978 who awaken to deliver some quality content like a whale fall

None for the 1982 version. I can only hold hope for the next time, I'm pretty sure that's a me-only target audience.

I will keep reblogging things to this blog if you tag it tho! Late works are still good, but I will check the tag less frequently

Thank you thank you everybody!!
