Review of Les Misérables (2012) by Miguel R — 26 Jul 2015

This is an amazing film and I'm so glad that a stage show can be transformed into a film.

I'm also so happy that I could download it onto my tablet to watch it anytime.

Les miserables Is all singing so for someone interested in musicals , it is perfect.

It's just a perfect mixed emotion film that is my absolute favourite.

It's so good that I know lots of lyrics to the songs since they are so catchy I can't get them out of my mind.

It's absolutely phenomenal and I would have loved to be a part of it since singing and performing is what I love to do so for someone who loves the same hobbies I.

Would recommend it.

In fact I would recommend to anyone as if you've not seen it you don't know what great.

entertainment you are missing.

For those who haven't seen it , les miserables is about.

Jeanvaljean , ( Hugh Jackman ) a prisoner , a slave who after 19 years is finally free after stealing bread and trying to escape prison .

He seeks work but fails to find it and with Javert ( russell crowe ) , an officer , hunting him , jeanvaljean is in despair. A bishop ( Colm Wilkinson ) offers jeanvaljean a new opportunity , a new life full of honesty that he can create with precious silver .

Jeanvaljean turns over a new leaf , he is now the mayor of a town in which he owns a business of repute and where he is honoured greatly.

Fantine , ( Anne Hathaway ) a factory worker has a child young Cosette ( Isabelle Allen ) who lives a miserable life with an innkeeper ( Sacha Baron Cohen ) and his wife ( Helena Bonham Carter ) so when fantine is out of job she has to go to extreme limits to save her child who apparently due to the cons of thenardier ( the innkeeper ) and his wife is Ill .

Meanwhile , Javert has found jeanvaljean but he is just another ordinary convict , the real Jeanvaljean who now has Javert at his service as he is mosnieur le mayor has to decide whether to be an honest man stepping up to who he is.

This choice is made , jeanvaljean who has turned from hating helps fantine who passes away in hospital and takes the duty of saving Cosette but being truthful also reveals his identity.

Javert is not far so after the confrontation of them both , jeanvaljean has to escape to perform his duty.

Thenardier and Madame thenardier , the cons , drive a hard bargain for cosette when Jeanvaljean appears to take her away. When jeanvaljean and cosette reach the north gate of paris and see Javert again they have a frantic chase and escape until we see them when Cosette has grown up ( Amanda seyfried ) and when Javert swears he will not give in .

In these later years , cosette finds her love Marius ( Eddie Redmayne ) who is loved by Eponine ( Samantha Barks) , the daughter of thenardier and Madame thenardier who are still up to their old cons. everything would have been perfect for cosette until with jeanvaljean she has to move once jeanvaljean thinks Javert has discovered his cover and once the fight of the French revolution begins.

Jeanvaljean discovers this connection between cosette and Marius and goes to the barricade as a volunteer to make sure he is safe.

The French revolution are attacked so to keep Marius safe jeanvaljean takes him through the sewers.

The other students , including Enjolras ( Aaron Tviet ) are killed in action , in pride. , where before eponine dies for the sake of Marius' love.

Javert discovers jeanvaljean is in the sewers and meets him for the last time at the exit where he lets him go as he feels he can't go on. Javert falls off the bridge , the chase is over.

Jeanvaljean faces his past and explains to Marius he must go , leaving cosette in no shame. Then the day of the wedding of Cosette and Marius comes , where Marius discovers jeanvaljean was his saviour on the night of the barricade fight.

They find jeanvaljean in the convent at his last days where he dies in peace.

The film Les Miserables is based on the book and performance.

I recommend to EVERYONE.
