I
went to see Les Miserables New Year’s eve night with Jan. Great movie. It was
riveting. I’ve seen the play twice but the visuals that are available in the
realm of film were powerful. The singing was pretty good. Even Russell Crowe
sang fairly well.
The
whole theme of redemption was very evident in the movie. I’m not saying that
this was a theologically accurate film. I’m not saying the writers and
musicians were making a theological statement. But the contrast between legalism
(Inspecter Javert) and license (those manning the barricades and others in the
culture) and the balance of Jean Valjean who experienced grace and forgiveness
is striking. At one point he notes, that the life prior to his conversion was
dead. It’s a great movie. Go see it.
