Les Misérables
Thesis: it’s objectively not great…
Antithesis: do you hear the people sing? Lost in the valley of the night, it is the music of a people who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. THEY WILL LIVE AGAIN IN FREEDOM IN THE GARDEN OF THE LORD. WE WILL WALK BEHIND THE PLOWSHARE WE WILL PUT AWAY THE SWORD. THE CHAIN WILL BE BROKEN AND ALL MEN WILL SHARE THEIR REWARD. WILL YOU JOIN IN OUR CRUSADE? WHO WILL BE STRONG AND STAND WITH ME? SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BARRICADES IS THERE A WORLD YOU WANT TO SEE? DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? SAY, DO YOU HEAR THE DISTANT DRUMS? IT IS THE FUTURE THAT THEY BRING WHEN TOMORROW COMES!
Synthesis: 4 stars.
