Grace on the Big Screen


One man tries to find redemption and meaning via the law. One man, living outside the law, crashes abruptly into grace. The law left one empty, resulting in a leap from a bridge. One struggled to fully comprehend the grace extended, yet within it, found hope. The lives of these two men intertwine in a world that is immensely broken.

From the first time I witnessed this story portrayed on stage, Les Miserables captivated my heart with its raw message. The big screen depiction of this epic masterpiece deepened my reverence for the power of grace to transform the heart of man. I have been attempting to put my thoughts in writing to no avail, however, I did discover two reviews that speak eloquently on my behalf. Spoiler Alert: I cried in front of my teenage boys while watching the movie . . . you’ll have to read the following to understand.
