Red and Black Inspirations

Les Miserables has greatly inspired me over the years. Specifically the novel, in its original French. The tragedy of the students and their fruitless pursuits jolted me and I was led to examine the rebellions we try to start in our own lives. What are the things we want to change but can't, and what is so important to change that a painful sacrifice in necessary? Starting anew and leaving the past are themes that ensnare me in fiction, and I hope my own work can come to reflect the same kind of rebirth and phoenix fire.
If you haven't seen the movie--and are a theater snob with ample opinions on the original work--you will most likely hate it, but there was one scene that stood out to me and I truly enjoyed... This is probably because it was my favorite song in the play. It has all the rebellious youthful vigor one could ask for, blind passion, and inspiring camaraderie:    

Tedious as the book may be, it's a great read, and if you're lazy, the movie renditions have all been--in my opinion--quite strong. Happy reading and happy Saturday.

    I like crazy print pants, Thai food, making up words, and living in the worlds in my head. I also write on occasion.
