LET HIM ANSWER TO JAVERT

[communi_kate]

In which I went to see Les Miz and my sister was like 'You're going to come out of the film thinking that's a stupid way to move a ship' and lo and behold, I came out of the film thinking 'That's a stupid way to move a ship' and all was right with the world.

But seriously, I enjoyed it.

I would have totally shot Valjean, though, cause he's like AHA I HAVE YOU NOW and Valjean is all 'okay, I just have to go save a dying prostitute's daughter, I'll be back in three days' and then they SWORDFIGHT and Valjean ESCAPES and then he never does come back. So of course when Javert meets Valjean next he's like 'I'll come with you in a day, I just need to nurse this revolutionary back to health' and instead of going YOU SAID THAT BEFORE FUCK THAT VALJEAN and just shooting him Russell Crow has a crisis and lets him go instead,

Honestly.

I think everything I have to say about the relationship between Javert and Valjean can be captured by this epic series of comic strips by Kate Beaton.

Other thoughts:

If the students had spend more time learning how to shot and build fucking walls, and less time discussing the merits of red or black for their outfits, maybe they wouldn't all have died. This is what you get when you count on the people to rise up and fight with you. Sure, they'll act all sorry when they're scrubbing your blood from the paving slabs the morning after, but they won't risk their lives FUCK YOU STUDENTS.

And YAY EPONINE. Really, by the end I wanted Eponine and that henchman of Enjolras's –Grantaire- to hook up and go on the lam, where Eponine would teach him all the con tricks she learned from her family and Grantaire could use his obvious good breeding to swindle suckers from their cash. Maybe I'll write that at some point. Anyway, Eponine is by far one of the most interesting characters. Marius and Cosette are so boring they're made for each other. In the end, the whole film was about one guy who protected his daughter from everything EXCEPT BOYS.
