Les Miserables - The Movie

12 Aug 2012

So... I was just watching the trailer for the new Les Miserables movie coming out in December... and I have to say... "wow."

I'm not one to cry at movies or sad stories, but music can easily reduce me to tears. Les Miz in particular has always made me sob like a baby. I dabbled a bit in musical theatre in high school and this was always the score I was most drawn to. It really is an epic story for the ages and the musical adaption is the best that's ever hit the stage, in my opinion. I'm really excited to see this one.

Not to mention - this is a total 'dream cast' - Hugh Jackman, Russell Crow, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried... I'll bet this will be racking up the awards the following year.

As most movies, they fall short, but become their own interpretation. Looks stirring.

Can't wait to watch it boil.

I absolutely adored watching Les Miserables. Hugh Jackman is one of my all time favourite actors and I've always admired Anne Hathaway's work as well. It's a pure work of brilliance that everyone should watch. biggrin

Loved the old black and white original, the new version and also seeing it at the theatre.

I know I'm completely out of step with everyone here, (and so my daughters tell me) but I thought it lived up to its name, It was the most miserable play/film I've seen. Sorry if I've stepped on anyone's toes.

Oh. I refuse to watch the movie - Only the play is acceptable. smile

Happiness is not an outcome or an entitlement. It is not tangible and it is not purchasable. It is a conscious decision, it is a state-of-mind, it is a choice you make at every crossroad.
