The musical version of Victor Hugo's epic tale of love and sacrifice done in the Big Screen Treatment. The bloody era of the French Revolution is the backdrop to Jean Val jean's long struggle for redemption. I have seen the stage production three times and was ambivalent about the story. Hollywood's version knocked my socks off. I even cried and you all know how jaded I am. I finally got Victor Hugo's message. There is so much more to the story that romance and stage can not do the action shots justice. It stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Ann Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen. 4 to 5 Bags of Popcorn for this one.
