Just finished watching Jean-Paul Belmondo version of Les Miserables... Wonderful... And yesterday finished watching When do we eat... BOTH start very slowly and then the middle and the ends are worth the wait!!!! That is a lesson to keep in mind... Today so many movies ... start fast to get you hooked... but then do they deliver? The two mentioned above DO DELIVER!!! Feelings and ideas and all.
A quote noted at end... by Victor Hugo -- "the best is yet to come" -as noted below -- in the movie hte quote goes: "Our best years are yet to come"... As they ALL dance at the wedding of Salome and Marias.... with Jean Valjesn - Paul Belmando - as presiding mayor!!!
And - "Buffalo Bill's son doesn't shoot like his dad" which may refer to how Jean Valjean (aka Henri Fontin)
is not like his father... and is better.
AND MORE by - While Victor Hugo is often associated with themes of optimism and the inevitable dawn of better days, the specific phrase "the best is yet to come" is more commonly attributed to poet Robert Browning.
However, Victor Hugo is famous for a very similar, iconic quote about hope and the future:
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."
— Les Misérables
- "There is nothing like a dream to create the future".
- "If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress; and if you wish to understand what Progress is, call it Tomorrow".
- "The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal".
- "An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come".
