Whoa, what a Friday this was. I woke up at a ludicrously late hour due to staying up so late seeing Les Mis with some friends. May I just say, that movie was nothing short of breathtaking. It was unbelievable, tearing out the watcher's heart to the most beautiful of music. The actors and actresses in it the a stellar job. Their portrayal of such raw emotions just broke my heart. Fun Fact: I learned today that every song, sans the first one, was actually sung live. This is the first movie to ever do that.

I don't want to do any play-by-play movie reviews, no one want's to read them any more then I want to write them. It's suffice to say that no part in that movie will leave a heart untouched. Of course it's all over the internet, but it must be said that Anne Hathaway did a FANTASTIC job playing the forlorn Fantine. I'm pretty positive that for every second she was on screen, I was crying. Even though she was only in the first 30 minutes of the movie, I'm sure everyone who has seen the movie will agree with me when I say that her story is what people will remember most.

There was also a boy that I'm sure no one will forget. He is this little blond boy about seven or eight who is undoubtedly the most courageous of any in the movie. The first thought to my mind when he appeared on screen was, "God, he looks just like my little brother." Not to give away anything, but those of you who have seen the whole movie can imagine how distressing that thought was in context with the end of the movie.

I'm afraid I might give away something so I'm going to call it quits here and just say that I saw it again tonight with a friend. Yes, that means I went twice in 24 hours. I'm game for going again. My only wish is that I could have seen it with my mom, we really wanted to see it together. Alas, Ketchikan has yet to get this masterpiece into the local theater so we must wait for the DVD.

Anyway, I have homeowor due at midnight so gotta go!
Tootles!
