LES MISERABLES!

January 8, 2013

So today I got to watch Les Miserables with an awesome buddy of mine, and it was nothing less than AMAZING!  Yes, we cried almost through the entire thing, and yes that led to loud sobs, but man oh man it was incredible.

What I loved about the movie was how it captured almost every aspect of suffering. Nothing in the movie was really pictured as "perfect" but that is what made it so good! I feel like a lot of the movies we see today are happy, funny, and yea some have a bit of sadness to them,  but they usually end happily. This movie however, was about the hope and faith and dreams that live through the suffering. How a person can change, how God works through people, and how sometimes faith is all you need to keep going. Also, the main character played by Hugh Jacksman was great! He is an inspiration, or at least to me, of how the things you are given in life aren't meant to be kept to oneself but should be used to help others.

This movie made me think about how i've been complaining about my life a lot for the past couple weeks, and I thought what was happening to me was hard, difficult and totally unfair. After seeing this movie, dang, I regret everything I said. There are so many more things in life that are far worse than what I have, and yea i've had some hard times in life, but they have only made me stronger. Watching this movie really set me back on track to reach for my dream, to use everything I have to give glory to God because He will be faithful and direct me and you in the right path. The path He has chosen for all of us, and I will not say that it will be easy, but I can guarantee that He will always be there walking right beside you.

Anyways, I really do recommend watching this movie, because it will worth it! So to finish off, I would like to end with a quote from the movie.

"And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God." -Les Mis <3
