Les Miserables

i watched les miserables on friday night at 10.15pm and after that i couldn't sleep in peace haha. it was such an intense show omg. to the point of being slightly freaky. but it was amazing anyway. it was chilling, so deep and probably one of the most difficult to understand movies i've watched this year. thank goodness i read the synopsis right before the movie if not i'm pretty sure i would have been lost. some parts were slightly boring and many of the songs freaked me out (especially the first song omg) but WATCH IT. some of my friends said it was better than the original musical, which means it was really good. the acting was simply amazing, all the actors were so into their characters!

especially anne hathaway :O #1. i didnt know she could sing so well #2. her rendition of i dreamed a dream was just breath-takingly, shell-shockingly amazingly good, and when you watch her sing it in the movie it's like she poured her entire emotions into the song and it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

There was a time when men were kind

When their voices were soft

And their words inviting

There was a time when love was blind

And the world was a song

And the song was exciting

There was a time

Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side

He filled my days with endless wonder

He took my childhood in his stride

But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me

That we will live the years together

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
