In this version, Jean Valjean is forced into transexual prostitution by the muzzies who have taken over the country, but hey, at least he didn't have to go to jail or pay interest on the money his masters used to reimburse for the stolen bread.

So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hells on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved; so long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless. -- Victor Hugo

I have seen ( also have on disc ) every single version of this book as a movie; however, I absolutely REFUSE to see this new abomination! And FWIW...I didn't think highly of the stupid musical.

Re the musical ( play and movie ), the play and staging owes VERY MUCH INDEED, to the 1985 London stage play "THE SCARLETT PIMPERNEL" and the 1960 ""OLIVER" for the staging!
