9/10
a classic, complete movie
1 April 2006
This has to be one of the best movies i have ever seen. my French class saw it together and i feel like it's one of those movies where by the end, when you finish, you feel like the movie has completed the story to its fullest extent and you are just satisfied. we saw it with french subtitles and for those who don't find subtitles annoying, i feel like this is a movie worth watching. before seeing the movie, people probably should know that this was an adaptation of the original les miserables book by Victor Hugo. the book was set during the french revolution but the director adapted the story to WWII. the story is really powerful, it shows the aspects of human life and how on this earth, there are people who are truly evil and there are people who are just purely good. and how there are those in between but everyone suffers. they are all the miserables. in the beginning, there's a lot of confusion and it starts out weird but once you get interested in it, it's great.

i recommend just going to sparknotes.com and reading the plot summary of Les Miserables. it helps you understand the movie better and you get a greater insight into all the characters.
