A movie to look at..


Look down, look down, and don’t look them in the eye. In a tone of rhythm that creates the idea of hard labor we find ourselves in the story of les miserable. It is in truth a tragic for most of the characters.  These characters threw song tell us of their feelings of hurt, betrayal, and love.   Characters come in all ages in this tale; from a young Cosette who dreams of a castle on a cloud to her adopted father Jean Valjean; He sings more often of redemption and mistakes of the past.   
In the movie that will be coming out this month they had to portray that in their costumes.  Cosette in her youth is dressing in nothing but rags but when she is taken by Jean Valjean, his cloths shift to those of the wealthy.  He also ages over time from a convict to a man in the higher part of society. The prostitutes are to have colorful dresses that are see threw. This reminded me of animals showing off their color to get attention.
The set of this show is going to be amazing they have put their heart and soul into it. With real parts of Paris and carpenters who built blocks of imaged parts of pairs the set will help create the illusion of an old city.  It was built at a slant to create uneven feeling of a place that is dirty and in the video it looks it. You go out and walk the France mountains so that you feel the earth and the reality of the movie.  
I can’t wait to see this show. I have been hearing parts of this musical most of my life because it is one of my mom’s all time favorite musicals. The stories of love, hope and faith come into play and they create a sense that these people are real and their dreams are ours as well.
