OK... so I know I`m a wee-bit slow on the up-take but I *finally* watched Les Mis earlier this month, after seeing all the fuss at the Oscars I just had to.... I cannot even reiterate the new found love and appreciation I have for Les Mis and, more importantly, Victor Hugo and french literature! Ou la la..
SIDENOTE: this time last year I was travelling through France and Italy with school, our first stop was Paris. While we were there we visited La Place des Vosges, where Victor Hugo used to live, back then I knew him only as the guy who wrote the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now I can finally really appreciate the amazing writer he was, I can't get enough of it now... good thing Les Mis is so long... (like really?! holy moly, I did NOT expect that..)
So anyways, I now have the Les Mis soundtrack which I am amazed by; the fact that they sung live on set blows my mind... ooff. AND I picked up the book at Chapters earlier this week... it's very intimidating to say the least but I'm determined to read it.
Finally, if you are like me, and absolutely *die* for history, literature, cinema, music and broadway THIS IS YOUR HOLY GRAIL. Also, if you are like me and love Les Mis a ridiculous amount: you rock, don't ever change.
Anyone get the Lizzie McGuire reference? no? just me? ok.
