What are some themes of the movie "Les Miserables"?

Justice… ruining someone’s life from stealing a loaf of bread. Also redemption for a theif to become a mayor. Also compation and guilt for the inspector letting the mayor go and shooting himself.

You would do well to read Hugo’s original, you’ll get a much better in depth understanding.

Redemption

Retribution

what does redemption have to do with anything…

Love, in its broadest sense.

^^^ @dopeguru You don’t see Valjeans redemption when forgiven by the priest? And the admonition to use the silver to reclaim his life? Redemption is a significant theme to the story.

But as @canidmajor said, you really need to end the book to understand the story, and then evaluate whether the movie adaptation of the stage musical adequately conveys any or all of the points of the book.

Was this an assignment for school?
