Mis

Herself went to see Les Miserables last night with Beloved Husband and Cherished Friend. Without giving away too many plot points for the few people in the world who have not yet experienced Les Mis in any form -- be it the novel, the play, or one of the previous film adaptations -- we will just say that is was very well done indeed.  In particular, Anne Hathaway, upon whom Herself has a tremendous girlcrush, delivered a beautiful and heartbreaking performance.  Lovely.

Herself was a trifle concerned about seeing such a tragic movie; mustn't cry in front of the Menfolk. To prepare, she did resort to reading a plot summary in advance to ensure she knew exactly what transpired and who died. She then knew that Les Mis contains both types of storylines that Herself finds the most unsettling:  unrequited love, and leaving one's child behind. Alas.  She put a package of tissues in her purse, just in case. Fortunately, even though the film was truly sad at times, Herself managed to stay composed.  

Today, we are roaming the internets to find clips from the film, and are humming the few songs we already know quietly to ourselves.  It was a movie that will be well worth watching again. And again. I hope you enjoy as well.
