One movie a day

| Les Misérables by Tom Hooper |
In 19th century's France, Les Misérables tells the stories of broken dreams. Jean Valjean promises Fantine to save her daughter Cosette from a tragic fate which she is herself a victim. But Valjean, since its release, is mercilessly hunted by the policeman Javert for failing to comply with his parole.
I dreamed a dream.....
Les Misérables is based on the wonderful (but dense) novel by Victor Hugo. However, this adaptation is more based on the musical. I can't say whether it is loyal or not, but we find wonderful songs that are familiar to us and will appeal our ears. The actors, who are not yet accustomed to this form of art, escaped with honor. Anne Hathaway also proves it with her version of the song "I dreamed a dream" that has probably earned her Oscar alone. The movie sometimes falls into the gap "all singing" while it is not necessary, and in the great effects specific to American cinema, however it is impossible to remain indifferent to the magnifiscence of events. As long as it lasts, you will live and breathe with the characters.
