It's the first musical drama film I ever watched. Because it's a musical, 98% of the dialogues are lyrics and I love it. In the beginning, it's mentioned the movie was about the France Revolution but many articles tell people to enjoy it but get the history straight; it isn't about France Revolution. Okay, just leave it to the historians.
Just because of stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean got punished for 5 years in jail and the number raised to 19 years because of several escaping trials. And during the time, he was called 24601. He got his parole but no one wanted his presence and it made him only knew hatred. Then he hided in a cemetery area of a church and a Bishop welcomed him warmly and served him good food.
It's the first time for him treated like a human. But so many valuable stuffs in the church dazzling his eyes and he couldn't stand to not steal them. He got caught by the authority and dragged him back to the Bishop as Valjean said that the stuffs were given by him.

8 years later, he had become a kind hearted factory owner and a pride of the people's Mayor in Montreuil-sur-Mer. But, because he had against the parole law that he should make a report in the rest of his life; he had missed, he became a fugitive.
He could say that he was not 24601 as he was a honorable Mayor. Not to mention there was an innocent man arrested because of being alleged as him. But he didn't want to betray Bishop's trust and confessed he was the fugitive. He asked the Inspector 3 days to save a little girl, a daughter of his former female laborer who had been maligned as a prostitute. She sold her hair and teeth, and finally her body, to redeem her daughter.
