Les Miserables is a famous play and has recently
been made into a film. This movie is three hours long and has about 10 words in
monologue and the rest is them singing. Even though that doesn’t sound very
desirable for a lot of people this movie is AMAZING. I went into the theatre
kind of hesitant because that’s all I heard about it but I came out not
regretting a second of it.
This movie takes place in France during a war. It
starts out with a man who was thrown into jail for years because he stole a
piece of bread. He finally got onto parole and tried to get back into life but
everywhere he went he had problems with people excepting him. He found his way
to a priest’s house and he said he can stay the night but in the middle of the
night the man stole gold from the priest. The man was caught the next day and
instead of the priest throwing him back in jail he forgave him and told him to
do something with the gold and to get back on his feet. That’s exactly what he
did; he opened his own business and became a successful man. A few years goes
by and he fires a women who works his factory but later figures out that she
really needed the job because she was trying to get money for her daughter. The
women ends up dying and the man decided to take custody over the daughter name
Cosette. More time goes by and Cosette and Jean the man are on a run from the
police because the parole officer doesn’t like him and figured out that he’s
done more bad. But while there on the run Cosette ran into a man and instantly
they both fell in love with each other. But Jean doesn’t want Cosette to fall
in love at first and tries to keep them away from each other for their own good.
I won’t spoil the ending. But if you haven’t seen
it you really need to because it is absolutely beautiful! & yes I said beautiful
that’s how amazing it was! I thought I wouldn’t like all the singing but they
brought me to tears, and I’m not an easy crier. Everything about this movie is
great. Now I want to see the play on Broadway to see what they do differently,
I heard it was even better so I couldn’t even begin to imagine.
