Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Not well, no.

I will say, in general, that this film suffers from the usual modern movie musical problem of the ensemble and supporting characters (made up of Broadway and/or opera singers) being much MUCH better than the main cast (made up of movie stars). Colm Wilkinson and Hugh Jackman singing together doesn't do Hugh Jackman any favors.

But in spite of all of that, I was still more or less blown away. I cried many more times than I was expecting, and applauded at the end along with an entire roomful of jaded critics.

Thank you for that earworm.

No, really. I love "Confrontation" beyond reason.

(It replaces "On the Street Where You Live" as my current earworm. It's all musicals in my head today. I'm assuming later today it will be "Schadenfreude.")

Tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

Good lord, the earworms this show breeds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've only heard most of Les Miz the once, because the time I saw it on stage was so traumatic!

Me too! It is probably my second favorite song (my favorite is Stars) in the show. I am a Javert fan.

I am not even sure I can call the songs from this show earworms, because I am pretty sure I listened to it so much in high school that I can sing through the whole thing in my head with out the endless repetition that I associate with earworms.

I think I listened to Les Miz at least once a day in high school. I haven't listened to it in a while, and I don't think I should listen to it before seeing the movie in case it affects my ability to enjoy the movie.
