Oh, yes. I think it's brilliant. Of course, I'm sure that it doesn't follow the book scene for scene, but I think that it captures the overall story and aura very well. To me, it was cast perfectly, except for grown up Cosette. Claire Danes did a great job, she's just not how I'd pictured her.
That story is one of those that I'm always getting something new out of. The last time I watched the movie, I was overwhelmed about how one of the main themes is grace, and how those who know anything about it have had it extended to themselves.
Awesome.
Yeah, Jean Valjean's experiences in the story were a big eye-opener for me when I first read this book, (I was around 15 or 16), having been raised with the teaching that following "the rules" and doing "the right thing" were one and the same.
What is your favorite restaurant and why?
There's a place up in Indianapolis called "The Ram." The atmosphere in and of itself is enough of a reason to go, but they make THE BEST turkey burger I've ever encountered.
