works up to the grand finale, it seems like a different film than from where it began. Fans of Hugo’s book would argue the same about how far the film strays from it.

I ADORE LES MISERABLES

"Hooper's decision to record the songs live on camera makes perfect sense here."What on earth does that mean? Does Ms Shalini herself know what she is implying? It's staggering to see how this woman managed to ferret out all these(non-existant) faults notwithstanding the fact that everyone is still applauding Les Miserables. Only a person who hates music would find a problem with "relentless singing" but then she is blissfully ignorant of the concept of a musical.

Ms Shalini, I do appreciate that you write well. But that is not the point here. Make up your mind whether you are positive about the movie or you just have to say blab blab with.... this scene makes perfect sense.
