“Someone should make an honest movie about the Reign of Terror”
Or you can just wait for a few more years and see it in real life. I just got back from the movie and liked it. But it was a bit depressing and too “real life” for me. SPOILER ALERT:

Like when the mother of Cosette (sp?) lost her job and in a matter of moments does away with a minor sense of “self” (her hair) for money to feed her child. Then a tooth. Then her soul (prostitution). How fast one can go from “gold to a bowl of dust”.
And then the futility of the youth rebellion. I imagined FREEPERS at the barricades, and when dawn came they were all alone. (Headline: “Right wing gun hoarders hold neighborhood hostage.”)
I pray that it will never come to that. But it showed me that the change must happen BEFORE it all comes crashing down.
