Les Miserable Review

wanted to do other reviews but after watching this movie, i just had to do this first.

WARNING: BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, THESE REVIEWS ARE OPINIONATED, ANY OFFENSIVE COMMENTS ARE NOT MEANT TOWARDS ANYONE SPECIFIC. THANKS ;)

Les Miserables is a 2012 movie adaptation of the novel Les Miserables.  This is no normal movie, it's a musical. So if you really really really dislike musicals this is not the one for you.

I'm sure you would recognize some of the actors or actresses on the cover. Yes, Hugh Jackman from Wolverine is on this, and yes Anne Hathaway, and Amanda Seyfried is in this musical too. (and no i did not know that Amanda Seyfried can sing soprano)

The story is about 19th century France, when the civil war was currently going on. Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) finally free from slavery, decided to lead a new life, but unfortunately, the policeman Javert (Russell Crowe) figured out his fake identity and tried to capture him. Jean Valjean meets Fantine (Anne Hathaway) and agrees to look after her daughter Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) just before Fantine dies. Then 8 years later, the civil war breaks out and Cosette falls in love with Marius (Eddie Redmayne) who was fighting the war himself. This story is truly about fight, dream, hope, and love.

This musical is truly a musical, where every dialogue was exchanged through music and singing, there were only 2 sentences where they didn't use singing to communicate their ideas. For a music geek like I am, I really enjoyed the music because it was brilliant and I felt like it actually communicates the character's feeling better than normal dialogue would. The movie was very touching and sad that throughout the whole story, I teared up a lot, and of course, as the crier that I am, I was literally bawling at the end. Even if you didn't enjoy the story, the music would just capture your heart. (i still sat there and listened to the music way after the credits started rolling).

At first, when Marius meets Cosette, I was like this is romeo and juliet all over again. But later on, I realized their love is different, and besides Marius was totally cute :/ Other than that, I really really really enjoyed and totally loved this movie. I hope there will be other awesome musicals soon like this one :) .

IF YOU LOVE SINGING IN SCHOOL CHOIRS AND LOVE MUSIC, SERIOUSLY WATCH THIS MOVIE OMG IT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME . k as for rating no doubt 5 out of 5 for everything. Like really, it's even nominated for oscar...

If you are curious about the music, do search it up. Here's a youtuber who did all 7 character's songs perfectly alone.  He is awesome. (how often do you see a guy who can sing soprano? not often.) My favourite pieces in this movie were One Day More and Do You Hear The People Sing (where I totally cried when they sang it)

and there's that, watch this movie in the theater if you can and stay tune for the next review ;) .
