A beautiful, significant film and story. I was brought to tears at several points while watching.

Christian love imbues the entire life of the redeemed primary character...and I learned anew how a changed heart can carry on even in the midst of societal degeneration. We may be called upon to be modern day Jean Valjeans.

My Brother said the movie looks good, but all that singing stinks.

He said the same thing about "West side story".

Read the book...it puts the movie(s) to shame.

I saw the play years ago. The title says it all. I was. But then I hate musicals that are all singing all the time.

E! Online - wrong. The French Revolution occurred 1789-1799, whereas the narrative of Les Misérables begins in 1815. It does, however, feature a revolt by students, known as the June Rebellion or the Paris Uprising of 1832.

the French Revolution was carried out by a bunch of socialist murderers who persecuted and murdered Catholics. It was not one of France’s finer moments.

I like the made for TV version with Anthony Perkins. Looks like someone uploaded the whole thing to You Tube:
