For my AP World History Movie Review‚ I chose to watch Les Miserables; a movie based on the inspirational novel by Victor Hugo. I selected this movie because i had a summer assignment on it for ADV English and also because i thought it would be a good idea to watch the movie before reading the book and compare the two afterwards. Watching this and reading the book has helped me in starting out this school year more prepared with my schoolwork. Just like the book‚ the movie was set in the early 1800’s

Liz Burgess English 152-06 The movie Life if Beautiful by Roberto Benigni addresses how love between people can remain strong even through the most horrible of events.
