HE WAS NEVER MINE TO LOSE, WHY REGRET WHAT COULD NOT BE //

These following months I've been preoccupied by musicals. I've been exploring different genres and styles of musicals. But in all of my viewing I can honestly say that Les Miserables is my favorite musical. My sister once asked me If there would be an opportunity to watch Les Mis and Phantom of Opera, but it would be on the same night, which one would I choose? I answered Les Miserables. There is something about this musical that touches the deepest parts of my heart, especially in the end. I think one of the reasons why I love this musical is Eponine, one of the characters, it was sad because she dies due to being shot at the barricade to see Marius, her friend whom she is secretly in love with. It was tragic when she dies in his arms and ask if he can hold and kiss her at her last moments :(

"She rested her head on his knee and said withoutlooking at him:

'Oh what happiness! What bliss! Now I don't feel any pain.

Next month, a movie version of the musical will be released. I'm super duper ultra mega excited about it. I've been planning what will I wear and bring loads of tissue boxes to the cinema because I know I'll give in as usual to the scenes. I'm really happy that Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathway and Amanda Seyfried will be in the movie starring as Jean Valjean, Fantine and Cosette respectively.  I'm estatic that Samantha Barks will be playing Eponine. In the 25th anniversary concert, she plays Eponine so well it's like role was made for her.

Here are just some screen shots from the upcoming movie.

"But what was tragic about this the girl was that shehad not been born ugly. She might even have been pretty as a child and thegrace proper to her age was at odds with the repulsive premature aging inducedby loose living and poverty. A trace of beauty still lingered in the sixteenyear old face, like pale sunlight fading beneath the massed clouds of awinter's dawn"

"She was a lean and delicate looking creature, hershivering nakedness clad in nothing but a chemise and skirt. Her waistband wasa piece of string, and another piece tied back her hair. Bony shoulders emergedfrom the chemise, and the face above was sallow and flabby. The light fell uponreddened hands, a stringy neck, a loose, depraved mouth lacking several teeth, blared eyes both bold and wary in short, an ill-treated girl with the eyes of a woman;a blend of fifty and fifteen"

"I love him but everyday I'm Learning, all my life I'veonly been pretending! Without me his world would go on turning, a world that'sfull of happiness that I have never known!"

Here's the trailer :)

Watch the movie on the December guys, as well as the musical.
