Also, the musical based on this novel is prominent. The screenwriters have a deep understanding of what Victor Hugo wanted to express, thus they give an appropriate interpretation of this masterpiece.
The musical 'Les Miserables' has been on show through Europe to Broadway, until spreads worldwide in the form of film this year. Among all the versions I have seen, I love the 25th anniversary concert one most. Here's a link of it: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDY2NjkwNDky.html
Of cause, other versions all have their own reasons for praise, such as stage performance in the 10th anniversary concert version, the circumstance and background of the whole story in the 2012 film, and the humanisation of religious elements in a former film. All of them are listed below.
The 10th Anniversary Concert Version
The 2012 Film
Former film version by Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman & Christopher A.
There are still many other adaptations from this great novel that waiting for you to enjoy. For me, my next goal is to go to Broadway to watch live performance of Les Miserables. Hope more people can feel the beauty of Les Miserables.
