The phrase Les Misérables has been around the consciousness of many for a hundred and fifty one years. It has become a cross-cultural artefact‚ whether it may be the book‚ the musical‚ or the movie. One can say that references to any 0f the three can be found in everyday life. It has been around far longer than any of us have been; it’s safe to say that it is a real phenomenon. Yet‚ there have been other works more aged than Les Misérables. So what sets this work apart? Les Misérables‚ published

Antoinette. Les Misérables is a Broadway musical and movie based on the book of the same name by Victor Hugo that was historically popular because it was supposed to be based on the French Revolution.

the movie Les Miserables (1998) The movie is a potent social document of poverty‚ ignorance‚ and brutality of man by Victor Hugo. Les Miserables is also a rousing adventure of the hapless victim of French society - Jean Valjean‚ and his valiant struggle to redeem his past. The movie had been so well done. The actors and actresses had played their part and portrayed the characters in a way that the audience could really relate to.

Movie Review I. Introduction Les Miserables‚ as a theatrical enterprise‚ was always about sweeping sentimentality and the grandiose 1862 Victor Hugo novel‚ which translates to‚ “The Victims‚” was never short on ennui either.
