Les Miserables

I have always loved the musical Les Miserables, but with this new movie coming out in less than a month I have been reading as much as I can about it. Upon reading I found that not only are all of the actors/actresses singing, they are singing their songs live every scene.  The actors claim that this gives them more freedom with their scenes and allows them to really act out what they are singing.

 

I have never seen a movie/ musical done this way and I’m excited to see how it works. With an all-star cast using this new technique, I don’t see how the movie could be anything less than excellent. I have always been so annoyed in the past when I watched musicals where the actors where obviously lip-syncing but with this film not only will their acting be more realistic, but so will their singing.
