I’m a huge Les Mis fan. I recommend seeing the movie. It’s different than the Stage version. I think it does a much better job of conveying the Christian themes. There are crosses everywhere, and it’s much easier to understand the lyrics.
It’s much darker than the stage version. I didn’t like the Lovely Ladies or Master of the House scenes.
However, I loved Empty Chairs better than the stage version. On My Own was also fantastic!
I would never buy a CD of the movie. Musically, I like the stage better. However, the movie was good in a visual way. It’s a very emotional movie.
Yeah, you’re right about those two scenes (songs)! While very funny in a r-rated way, they did get a bit garish and over the top! The blood and gore in the battle scenes was stomach-turning as well as the scenes in the underground sewer (ugh!). Still, the cinematography and the singing performances were beautiful and breathtaking!

Still, the cinematography and the singing performances were beautiful and breathtaking and sort-of made up for those other scenes!
