…And last one from this batch from Takahiro Arai’s twitter. This month’s chapter (overview coming soon!) has Javert’s suicide, and Arai notes that Javert’s last scene was inspired(?) by John Malkovich’s take on the character in the 2002 French miniseries. Which…um…I didn’t really see that influence, but okay.
Anyhow, this one goes out to all the Hot Manga Javert fans. :D

Another of the 25th Anniversary direction that I’m a huge fan of is the big change in blocking during the Confrontation. It’s one of those things where I find the physicality a lot more intense, it visually feels a lot more visceral, I feel more invested in how dangerous a situation Valjean is actually in being literally thisclose to arrest by Javert and then in the end where he almost strangles him but stops himself, with this disgust with himself that it had even come to that.
The other great change that I’ve talked at length about is of course Fantine’s wig in the Finale.
