But the 1998 movie adaptation of Les Miserable did have a lot of contents and even narrations reflecting today’s social conflicts. And it tells what leaders (in either parties, or either countries) should address about the masses . Those are amazing, and even practical!

We watched the movie again, wandered off from an incredible current event of that an illegal migrant cheated for years to have become a local school district official. The district represents answers the report that: citizenship is complicated, but he is a good man…”

We are overwhelmingly surprised for the coincidence between the movie set in the period of 17 century and the reality now: what it narrated the way for poor to be oppressed, by means of the document! The resident’s documents matter their lives, repeatedly reminded audience in multiple critical occasions through the movie.

By the way, it has been Uma Thurman’s most miserable role that she ever played. If a fan remembers her role’s suffering, one would have understood the miserable lives of undocumented migrants then and now;
as well the revolution erupted on street, during the state funeral;
and how it is mercy that resolved all conflicts in this extraordinary story.

It even offered reasons of Sanctuary. If Democrats had their warship, ICE had their principle and Antifa had its roots in the masses, all would elevated themselves, and even sublime. It is not labeling, but symbolic.

The writer’s treatment was quaint, from lives, but greater than the life, just like Victor Hugo’s master literature did. I mean by the theme, as I also read, in contrast, most comments appraised the movie’s music score was plain, visual effects were poor, adaptation was inaccurate from novel. In my view, we liked the relative primitive nature of the 1990s past. It gave audience some space to observe and imagining. In a 5-start system, can I give a 6? Because it is an extraordinary film, director and casting performed very well. And it should impact some social reflection, a quarter of century later in our lives.
