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.
