I know America isn't as bad off as France back then, but I can't help but wonder when we'll have another revolution. So many people aren't happy with the way things are going. Or have we become too complacent or apathetic, thinking that nothing can touch the government far off in DC? It'll probably take something really over the top. I don't know what it'll be or when it will come. I'm not calling for a revolution, by any means. These are just the thoughts that ran through my head last night.
Love and Mercy overrule Justice. There's a lot to be learned from that.
There are a lot of really great lines too. "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." Just go listen to the soundtrack or watch the movie. You'd be doing yourself a gloomy favor.

And maybe it was a bit foolish of me to go home and listen to the soundtrack, because now I feel I can somehow relate to several of the songs, or at least some of the lines.
After the film, I thought I would never want to see it again, simply because it was that memorable and sad. But now I want to buy it. I haven't been able to get it out of my head for more than a few hours at a time this past week. I'll buy it in the States, though, since it's not worth it to buy in German. They translated only the spoken words and just had subtitles for the lyrics. So, 99% of the film was in English anyways.

And I had to laugh to myself a little when Maria asked before I went to see it if it would be something her 12-year-old son would enjoy... ummm, it's a musical....
On the note of revolutions, this week has been full of reminders of them. I went to Leipzig this weekend for a Young Single Adult conference held by my church. I'll post more about that soon. In 1989, Leipzig was home to a peaceful revolution. I love standing where history has hinged.
I've been watching Downton Abbey, and the last episode I watched featured some drama about the Irish Revolution.
And there have been the constant reminders through the repeated songs from Les Mis. It's my friend's favorite musical, so we sang it all weekend long.
Why has it been a week of revolutions? It's getting a little creepy...
