This decisions changes their lives forever. Years later, set in post-revolutionary France Jean Valjean and Cosette live their lives together. But soon comes crashing down when Javert meets Jean Valjean after so many years.
Comment: This movie of Les Miserable is perfect. All the actors fitted perfectly with Russell Crowe with the weakest of voices but still is an outstanding film. All performances done in the movie were done live on the day of shooting which allowed actors to play with the song. It is truly an amazing film which you should go to even if you haven't seen the Broadway show. My only warning is that don't drink too much because it is around 3 hours with adds.
