Les Misérables (2012 Film)

           Les Mis is most definitely one of my favorite musicals, if not my favorite. I just love the passion and emotion portrayed through the music and characters. There are so many stories entwined in each other - Valjean, his one crime held against him all his life; Fantine, a woman scorned by the world; Eponine, her struggle with unrequited love; Marius, dedication to his friends or the woman he loves.
          One of my favorite scenes is when Fantine is dreaming of Cosette, her daughter, as she is slowly dying. Valjean promises to keep her daughter safe, he will protect her with his life. I know no way to describe this moment.
          The plot draws you in, almost as if you can't escape. You become part of their world without knowing. I so want to see Les Mis performed live! The music is pure brilliance.
