les miserable
In the closing weeks of the school year, we watched the 1998 film based on the famous work of literature, Les Miserables. After studying European history for nearly a year, there were certain aspects of the movie that I believe did not add up to actual history. Although I was not present for the beginning of the movie, I was told that Jean Val jean (Liam Neeson) had just gotten out of prison after about twenty years for merely stealing a loaf of bread when he was very young.
