Les Misérables | Look Down (Full Hugh Jackman Performance)

[@ImogenC-rt3fm]

Y'all gotta try to remember they had the music playing in ear, but no orchestration, no live feedback. No audience feedback. Every time I watch this I'm reminded that work like this is truly a labor of love, regardless of how much is paid.

I knew the stage showed the galley, which was inaccurate and had only meanings for the punishment. But 2012 film showed the accurate method of how they treat prisoners, since there was no rowing galley ships at that time. Still I prefer the stages but the film's Visual Effect was great.

@rorcal7203 Not the first ever Valjean 'cuz one dude in France performed as Valjean at the Palais des Sports in Paris in the year 1980. Colm was one o' the first English speakin' Valjeans since 1985 West End. The musical's long journey (based on the novel) started w/ its first performance at the Palais des Sports AND the French language concept album in 1980.

​@@70snostalgia He can sing. He's been directed to place his voice further back to contrast with Jackman's forward placement. It's a comment about integrity and is employed by the director to trigger us. It's a brilliant choice. The fact Crowe can and did do it as directed is a demonstration of his ability, his integrity, and his professionalism. That's what sux about being a truly talented and well trained actor: If you do your job with love and integrity you often go unrecognized. Your only consolation is rededication to your craft. How much it must suck to be so famous and yet unsung for your real achievements--chiefest of which is voluntarily placing oneself under others and in the public eye. I couldn't do it. I doubt anyone commenting here could. But here's the real Mind Eff of it: In filmmaking and celebrity there's no such thing as bad press.

[@70snostalgia]

@@ImogenC-rt3fm No offence but forward or back, to the side of Jackman, behind him, up his butt, wherever his voice is "placed", it's a quarter-tone flat, utterly without tone and similar to listening to a ruptured moose whose insurance just got cancelled.

Lotta ill informed comments here. The singing was filmed live on the day, not voiced over. This was as close to a filmed live musical as any of us will see. The only caveat is they were afforded multiple takes. Sure, lotta press around this "fact"... and lotta mixing to do to mix out ambient sound. But this production had a lot of integrity. And hey, haters: Crowe can effing SING! The rough edges here are intentional, the artists' choices. That's what makes this an important and undersung production.

[@morgdaforg]

Crowe can sing, but he couldnt sing Javert. thats the issue. get someone who can actually sing the part well, cast from the stage show, get norm lewis or phillip quast or something idk

[@ImogenC-rt3fm]

​@@morgdaforgHe was directed to sing this way. In order to highlight Jackman's delivery. If you listen carefully you'll notice Jackman's voice and delivery are deliberately cleaner, more obviously "trained"--dumbass suited to the character. Likewise Crowe's rough edges. Dramatic, directed and rehearsed choices both. Good guy-Bad guy="good voice - bad voice."

The same lot dissing Crowe here would drunkenly devour one of his band's concerts. What is wrong with people?! That dislike of Crowe's voice is PART OF THE FILM. You are meant to compare his delivery with Jackman's and find fault. Duh?!! It's INTENTIONAL. It's meant to provoke specious debate. It's a very deep part of the "art of it". And FYI, Crowe IS a singer, has a successful band (or did, dunno, don't keep up)! You don't like his voice? WELCOME TO CASTING 101. And welcome to artistic integrity.
