Les Misérables


Have you watched this movie? It's a GREAT movie!!
Well, they don't talk, but singing the whole dialogue :)

There are few main characters in the movie:
Jean Valjean - played by Hugh Jackman
an ex-con who was saved and forgiven by a Bishop,and he learnt to love others.

Fantine - played by Anne Hathaway
a single mother, who was trying to support her daughter and herself by working odd jobs until she died.

Javert - played by Russel Crowe
a police inspector dedicating his life to imprisoning Valjean once again.

Cossette - played by Amanda Seyfried
Fantine's daughter, who was taken care by Jean Valjean after her mother passed away.


This movie shares a lot of love, from God and human being. It is is based on the 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo. Therefore it shows the condition of French's war and revolution.

I love how they answer one another in a long sentence, not as short as "okay."
Here are some quotes from the movie which are meaningful for me.

“To love another person is to see the face of God.”

“Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.”

"I'm a man, no worse than any man. You are free, and there are no conditions. No bargains or petitions. There is nothing that I blame you for. You have done your duty, nothing more."

It gave me different perspective of loving other human being, especially those who do not like you and treat you wrong.

And I agree with my friend, truly, it's a Catholic movie :)
