Les Miserables

When I finished my breakfast, I suddenly thought of
going to Tachikawa to watch a British musical drama film
Les Miserables.

(Tachikawa Cinema 2)




Many of you have already watched the film.
You know the story, of course.

I remember reading a book titled 「ジャン・バルジャン」
when I was a very little girl, probably 10 years old.

The little girl was deeply impressed by the book
and remembered the names of ジャン・バルジャン, コゼット、
or the name of the author ヴィクトル・ユーゴ.

On January 5 in 2001, I attended a musical performance
of Les Miserables held in Imperial Theatre..(帝国劇場).

It was held to celebrate the 90th birthday of Imperial Theatre.
(帝国劇場創立90周年記念公演)

 

Jean Valjean(ジャンバルジャン) was played by three
actors 鹿賀丈史・滝田 栄 and 山口祐一郎.

Les Miserables always encourages me to live out my life
whatever may happen.

Jean Valjean tells me not to be discouraged.

How strong the human spirit can be when he/she has a dream,
or hope, and when he/she has someone to love.
