But, then again, I barely know the musical. Maybe if I saw it/saw the film I'd understand?

Yes.

Why is this so difficult? I have never seen nor read anything to do with Les Miserables. Yet even I can grasp that understanding the musical requires actually seeing the musical.

What is it about you people that makes this so difficult? I wonder how you view other things about which your knowledge is, at best, cursory. Do you doubt its usefulness because you, yourself, have not personally experienced it, regardless of what others have experienced? Do you, say, deny the efficacy of certain cancer drugs because you haven't been present during their administration?

Slow down.

I'm French. I've read the book and watched film adaptations. The musical NEVER made it big in France. People scorn it when they even know it exists. They think it's a blasphemy. The adaptation might flop very hard in my country (or not, we never know). So yes, I was brought up by a whole country to even doubt the emotional impact of the musical and its artistic relevance.

However, I've read accounts from people who were deeply affected by the musical. Who love it to bits. So yes, it made me reconsider my previous stance on the matter.

Does the fact that one was brought up to think a certain way mean that it is right for one to think a certain way?

[(Anonymous)]

No, but it explains it. And I didn't say that it was right. I don't think it either.

Just wanted to say that I can totally get not really understanding the draw of the musical, especially everyone around you had the general attitude that it was blasphemy. Which makes sense, since the book is a classic and people are probably going to be less inclined to be all over a musical about some pretty heavy subject matter, especially when the subject matter in question is part of your country's history. I think the musical does a good job of paying homage to the book, but I think it would be easy to see that it's a musical and assume that it's trivializing the subject matter.

I enjoy both the book and the musical, but I do view the musical as it's own thing. It's related, definitely, but there are a lot of differences. And, really, musicals are just not for everyone.

You do realize that starting an entire paragraph with "what is it with you people" kind of makes you a huge asshole, right?
