-----To be continued in secret! I do recommend watching the movie to you! You will be suprised at the climax certainly, I think.


Feeling
 This movie ask me that "What is love?", "What is sympathy?" and "What is clime and pardon?" etc. I really moved but was confused by the questions. But only my definite answer is that "Love can reform any bad person."
 In opening, the bishop forgave Varjean, then he reformed. I didn't write the outline avobe, but Varjean forgave all what Javeill to do toward him, lastly. If I was bihshop or Varjean, I would hate them forever. Of couse, some shoud be forgive and some shouldn't be forgive because of so grave clime. It's my opinion, a climer who we could feel slight expectancy in his future may be forgive! This is the very love, I think.
 Various things that you cannot expect happen from now in this movie. And the climax will make you feel thrilling certainly, I think.
 Actually, I watched not only movie, but I went watching the musical in Fukuoka Hakataza with Manami. Because I love this story too much!! I wish to talk with you about this movie after you watched it!
