Is it ok to cheer for the Orléanists to kill off the Socialist and Jacobin scum when they man the barricades and raise the red banner? Thanks to Victor Hugo the failed June Uprising in 1832, something that would be relegated to a footnote, is glorified in popular culture.

a BLACK guy as the evil cop Javert..?
Wow.
I guess they wanted lots of shots of people deferring to him, honkies cowering and doing his black bidding, etc.

How many more versions of Les Miserables are they going to make?
They already have several versions of the movie, a Broadway musical and another movie adaptation of the musical...
What we really need today is a modern Victor Hugo who can write novels like this one.

The greatest novel ever written! Yes, I've read
War and Peace,
Pride and Prejudice,
Moby Dick, The Scarlet Letter, Washington Square, The Sound and the Fury, The Brothers Karamazov, et al.
I'm glad they resisted the urge to cast Robert Mueller as Inspector Javert.

Yes, but the greatest glory of Les Misérables is the saintly Bishop Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel and his transformative power over the thug Jean Valjean.
