"I dreamed a dream" was probably the one of the only lines you'd remember from the Les Miserables trailer...Well, that's the only line I really remembered from the trailer but that one line made me really curious as to what the film is about. To state the obvious, I was not quite familiar with the story of Les Miserables, so I was really interested and excited upon watching the movie. To my surprise, it was even better than I expected it to be.
To start off, I really admired and awed at the raw emotions brought by all the actors and actresses in the film. I, most especially, liked Hugh Jackman's portrayal of the infamous Jean Valjean. Jackman gave such great passion and vulnerability to his character, so much so, that I cried many times during the movie. He was greatly able to portray all the struggles and the dilemmas of his character quite effortlessly. Not to mention, that his singing voice was also quite stunning. To be honest, he (Jackman) was the reason why I enjoyed the movie so much and was able to relate to it personally. He truly shined in that film.
Moreover, the songs were both very beautiful and meaningful though from all the songs, I really enjoyed the song "Do you hear the people sing?." That song, in my opinion, set the tone for the whole story. Plus, it didn't hurt that the song was really catchy and easy to sing.
Over-all, I very much enjoyed the film and would not mind watching it again. I really urge you to go out and watch this film. Hopefully, you'll be able to love and appreciate it as much as I have!
