Just thinking the same, and then the movie. I just read Rob Lowe's book and it was a great insight into the movie. |

Long before the musical, back in the '70s when Frye Boots were popular the first time around and disco was king, my entire 9th-grade English -- the good girls, the jocks, the brains, the wasted, the theater geeks, the mean girls, the AV guys, the stoner artists -- all of us -- were completely riveted by Les Miserables. The message I took from it was that refusing to grant forgiveness hurts the hard-hearted more than the transgressor. My oldest son, a recent college graduate, was riveted by Gatsby in 11th-grade American Literature. When he told us that he was turning down a job at an investment bank to teach middle school in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the US, he mentioned Gatsby. BTW, he majored in applied math. Anybody who says the humanities are dead is very much mistaken. |
