Great Film: Misérables, Les
Lord, Have Mercy!!
Wow, pinch me.....I must be dreaming.
This is a Grade A exhibit of how you can still make a terrific movie
today without profanity, tons of violence and-or sex.....AND how you
can make a picture which carries a good, moral message. This is one of
truly rare modern-day films that actually espouses mercy and
forgiveness instead of revenge.
This is simply a solid film with a very satisfying ending....satisfying
to people who aren't in love with edgy, nasty endings.....such as
almost all your professional movie critics. So, if your favorite critic
didn't give this film a good review - and most did not - please ignore
it.
In addition to the involving storyline and excellent acting by Liam
Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman and Claire Danes, the viewer is
treated to some beautiful European countryside scenery. My only
complaint of this film is the shoddy treatment it received on DVD. No
extras and so-so sharpness. Like the movie itself, it deserves more
respect.
