Les Misérables


By: Aimee Adams

Les Misérables is a critically acclaimed film, known for it’s positive underlying messages. In the film, Jean Valjean, known as Prisoner 24601, is released from prison and breaks parole to create a new life for himself while escaping the grip of the persistent Inspector Javert. Set in post-revolutionary France, the story reaches resolution against the background of the June Rebellion.
Throughout the film, there was a true sense of Christianity. A prevailing message of forgiveness and compassion pulled at the viewer’s heartstrings and illustrated a perfect example of Christ’s forgiveness. The power of persistent faith and determination was evident during the main character’s trials, tribulations, and victories. Despite the little bit of vulgarity during the film, there were numerous Godly lessons to be taken from it. Les Misérables is a creative work that serves as a reminder that even in the worst of times, people are still fighting for the virtuous.
