One more day before the storm

Suddenly I see

Suddenly it starts

When two anxious hearts

Beat as one.

Yesterday I was alone

Today you are beside me

Suddenly I see

What I could not see

Something suddenly

Has begun...

§

One day more!

Another day, another destiny.

This never-ending road to Calvary;

These men who seem to know my crime

Will surely come a second time.

One day more!

§

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living...

§

One day more!

Tomorrow you'll be worlds away

And yet with you, my world has started!

One more day all on my own.

Will we ever meet again?

One more day with him not caring.

I was born to be with you.

What a life I might have known.

And I swear I will be true!

But he never saw me there!

One more day before the storm!

Do I follow where she goes?

At the barricades of freedom.

Shall I join my brothers there?

Will you take your place with me?

The time is now, the day is here!

One day more!

One day more to revolution,

We will nip it in the bud!

We'll be ready for these schoolboys

They will wet themselves with blood!

 One day to a new beginning

 Raise the flag of freedom high!

Do you hear the people sing?

My place is here, I fight with you!

One day more!

I will join these people's heros

I will follow where they go

I will learn their little Secrets,

I will know the things they know.

One more day to revolution

We will nip it in the bud

We'll be ready for these schoolboys

Tomorrow we'll be far away,

Tomorrow is the judgement day

Tomorrow we'll discover

What our God in Heaven has in store!

One more dawn

One more day

One day more!

Les Miserables Oscar medley: Cast sing on stage di itnentertainment

Suddenly, I dreamed a dream, One Day More: Best Oscar moment EVER.

Les Misérables

"Do you hear the people sing?"

La strada del ritorno è quieta e silenziosa, ma tu puoi riuscire ancora a sentirlo: è il fracasso di tavoli e sedie che volano giù dalle finestre, il vento delle bandiere issate sulle barricate per benedire il grido della rivoluzione, il fragore dei cannoni che si abbatte sul sogno di una generazione nata troppo tardi, o forse troppo presto; il cuore di Les Misérables di Tom Hooper continua a battere a lungo dopo la visione, un tamburo che risuona incessante nella testa e ti lascia dentro l'eco delle tantissime voci che animano l'appassionata storia firmata da Victor Hugo.

Storicamente prolifico anche se poco favorito in tempi recenti, per non perdere l'amore del grande schermo il Musical ha lottato strenuamente contro sé stesso fino a dividere i suoi sostenitori, costretti a scegliere fra l'opportunità di abbandonare la grammatica classica per l'ebbrezza della sperimentazione ( Moulin Rouge, Across The Universe) o supportare la forza del canone grazie a una confezione visivamente compiacente ( The Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Mamma mia!): privo della gioiosa frenesia di Lurhmann come dello sfarzo dorato di Schumacher il lavoro di adattamento fatto sull'amatissimo musical di Claude-Michel Schönberg, familiarmente conosciuto come Les Mis e da quasi trent'anni in cartellone nel West End, cerca il punto d'incontro definitivo fra le due vie in un prodotto che vuole guardarsi allo specchio con fierezza e difendere la propria identità, trovando un registro che un' estremizzazione eccessiva avrebbe rischiato di soffocare.

I dreamed a dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

You want to be fooled

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige".

...Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled. "
