The 1978 Version of javerts death is so iconic for all the wrong reasons. Any gravity or emotional impact just gets ruined by that random ass trumpet flourish, the fact that it's like the lowest point you could jump in the seine from, and of course, the flip

Les Misérables (1978) is really good film for people who don’t really care about the plot of Les Misérables but do want to watch two middle aged men try to out cunt each other for two hours

Okay I should be going to sleep now but I have more thoughts. WHAT THE HECK LES MIS 1978! HOW DO YOU TAKE A STORY THAT IS KNOWN FOR BEING ROMANTIC AND MELODRAMATIC AND PASSIONATE AND MAKE IT AS BORING AND UNEMOTIONAL AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN?! The only emotionality that existed in that film was the homoeroticism between Javert and Valjean. But otherwise? No depth for Fantine, for Les Amis, for anything else. Aside from two hours objectively not being enough time to tell the story, YOU COULD HAVE ADDED AT LEAST A LITTLE MORE IF YOU DIDN'T SPEND 30 FUCKING MINUTES ON JVJ TRYING TO ESCAPE TOULON!!!! I just do not understand how this film sapped all the emotions (again, apart from the Javert/JVJ homoeroticism) out of the Brick.
