I watched with great enjoyment the movie 'Les Miserables' based on the novel by Victor Hugo in 1862, It has been remade into a musical and it has become the world's longest-running musical. In 2012, 'Les Miserable' was brought to the big screen by the movie director Tom Hopper.
This movie starts with an impressive, splendid and magnificent scene, a group of prisoners attempting to pull a ship into port by long rope while the rough sea beats them with water. One of the strengths of this movie is that Tom Hooper took the risky course of recording them as they sing on set, so actors and actresses can focus on their emotion more deeply. It provides the audience with a lot of impressions from the period.
I would highly recommend this movie. It is one of the most visually stunning British films. You can appreciate all-time-great musical through this film. It raises your sprit as well as makes you cry, and also it makes you reconsider what are the real values rather than the material world.
