This movie based on the famous novel of Victor Hugo is not highly acclaimed by critics for it is not exactly like the book. Yet looking at the movie for its own merits, this film is ten times highly recommended than many more critically and multi awarded films. It is filled with good moral messages which strongly enlighten its viewers of the wisdom of repentance, forgiveness and redeeming one self. One significant scene which will truly appeal to anyone of Christian faith is when the Bishop handed the candlesticks to Jean Valjean (prior to this scene: the bishop accommodates Jean Valjean despite the fact that he is a convict. He provided him shelter and food. But despite his goodness Jean Valjean stole from him and ran away. However, he was captured by the police and was brought back to the bishop together with the candlesticks that he stole) and told him these lines ‘ Jean Valjean, my brother you no longer belong to evil. With this silver, I have bought your soul. I have ransomed you from fear and hatred, and now give you back to God.’
