      every angel has a past

      “Every angel has a past!”

      Every angel has a past.

      One, the stolen happy hour

      Les Miserables, 1998's Stolen Happy Hour

      "Yes, baby, I did steal something

      I stole the happy hours living with you

      I don't mind paying the price

      . . . . . .

      Promise me, live happily"

      The world is warm and no longer cold

      In France at that time, only the lowly poor were punished by the law, even if they stole a piece of bread because of starvation, or were bullied to fight back and beat the "rich". He was so sick that he lost his mind. But there are still sober people in the crazy-like social group. The kindness he released helped a young man regain his conscience. After the young man squeezed into the upper class, he always insisted on helping the poor, even if he faced prison again. The young man did not...

      Every angel has a past and every sinner has a future.

      I saw another version a few years ago. Today, I saw the version starring Liam Neeson, so I clicked in and watched it. The movie is very long, so I need to stop and watch it, because sometimes it will be very heavy to watch. I haven't read the original book, but the movie is enough to make me feel this heavy history.

      The first thing that touched me was the kind-hearted bishop. He repaid his grievances with virtue, and used his actions to influence Jean Valjean, allowing him to regain...

      It feels so good to be free

      I haven't read the original "Les Miserables", but the looks of the young couple are still okay. I don't understand why the police are chasing Jean Valjean like a ghost, and Jean has to live a sneaky life. The sheriff may have been influenced by Ran's kindness. In fact, Ran had the opportunity to kill the sheriff, but he had to go against his creed of being a new person and shoot him to death, but he fell from the predicament of being hunted down to a psychological predicament. Watching the...

      Les Miserables

      When I saw the last film, my favorite person was not Jean Valjean or Cosette, but Javert. He was arrogant and could not be labeled as good or bad, but he was just, firm and paranoid about what he believed in his heart.

      "I'm here to ask you to fire me and sue me for defamation" Confess your right or wrong without justifying it.

      "I hate you, I envy your rights, and in revenge, I slandered you" without the slightest shyness, as if the accusation was being made against someone other...

      It turned out to be this and lied to me that it was the 2012 version. . . . Because I haven't read the original book and I haven't compared it with other versions, I can't give it a credit, but Cosette's actor doesn't play a big role in...

    Movie plot

    The film tells that Jean Valjean was arrested for stealing bread because of starvation and was released from prison 20 years later. Desperate, he was taken in by the bishop, but he stole the bishop's silverware. After his arrest, the bishop did not send him to prison again. Instead, he gave him two silver candlesticks to return him to the embrace of the Lord. Jean Valjean was influenced and changed his mind and worked hard, and became...

    Movie quotes

    • Fantine: [to Valjean] We're a fine pair.

    • Bishop: Now don't forget, don't ever forget, you've promised to become a new man.

      Jean Valjean: Promise? Wha, why are you doing this?

      Bishop: Jean Valjean, my brother, you no longer belong to evil. With this silver, I have bought your soul. I've ransomed you from fear and hatred, and now I give you back to God.

    • Marius: If we can't win today, then none of us have a future.

      Jean Valjean: You have love. That's the only future God gives us.
