Beat By Beat: A Les Mis 2012 Deconstruction
As an avid Les Mis fan and also someone with an MFA in screenwriting, I find the script for the Les Mis 2012 movie absolutely fascinating. The choices they made, the added brick scenes, the added song, the pacing, the dialogue, the shots selection—all of it contributes to a very interesting adaptation that our fandom owes a huge debt of gratitude to (whether we like it or not 🥲). I would like to take an audience through the 9 major beats of a screenplay, apply it to Les Mis 2012, and share my thoughts on what the filmmakers did right for this adaptation and what they did wrong. I’ll comparing it to the Les Mis musical (the direct source material) as well as the Brick (the secondary source material) for insight on the choices they made!
This event will be recorded and will available following the con for two weeks from when it is first uploaded.
