Review: ‘Les Miserables’

With a scale as large as the musical source material and the novel that preceded it, paring ‘Les Miserables’ down to a two hour and forty minute movie was no easy task. Whether it’s the lengthy, sung soliloquies or the sweeping, multi-generational narrative that takes a literal and figurative lifetime to tell, fitting it all in may never have been an achievable goal. You couldn’t have it all could you? Tom Hooper does his best to and puts forward an effort that may be the best adaptation of the musical that could have been, but only at times does it truly soar.

thedailywhat:

Movie Trailer of the Day: Flashy first trailer for Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann’s movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, starring Tobey Maguire as narrator Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, and Leonardo DiCaprio as the titular Gatsby.

Here’s the official synopsis:

The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings.

Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th.
