So, yesterday I managed to watch this more than 2.5 hours musical movie (well, I didn't think that it'd be that long, so.. I was famished by the time it's finished). The movie? Well, it's a great movie! If you never read the book or go to the play or watch the older movie, then you should check this out. Les Misérables is one of the classics, so you won't lose anything by watching it. I normally can't stay awake fully throughout the whole musical episodes (it's the me who yawned over when watching Phantom of the Opera movie), but Les Misérables kept me awake the whole movie duration. Why? First, it's touching. How could you sleep when you watch how heartbreaking Anne Hathaway's 'I dreamed a dream'. If I watch this at home, I'd be weeping my heart out during that scene, really heartbreaking! Next, the team managed to compress that thick book into a movie that's actually moving, no merry go round, so for a non fan like me, I didn't feel any gap at all when I watch this. The setting and backgrounds are all done beautifully even though they're not pretty (French Revolution is never pretty).

But the real reason why I want to watch this movie? It's Hugh Jackman! What else? LOL, and off course I have to watch the movie after I saw him on SMAPxSMAP's 10.12.2012 episode. Honestly, I like seeing him promote his movies in Japan because he doesn't come across as snobbish/stuck up or annoying (I can name a few that I think act like they're higher than the beloved national idols when they appear on those idols' variety show and that miffed me actually), and here's the caps, in the honor of the gentleman (but more caps are on Amanda though coz she's just so pretty LOL).

( Not that many caps though LOL... )

I have 1 request for Hugh, can you promote your future movie on Arashi ni Shiyagare? I wanna see Matsujun fanboying over you LOL...
