Re: Look down, Look down
It's not a French musical movie.
It's a British movie, based on a British musical (which was modified for American production), based on a failed French musical, based on an audio-only concept album, based on part of a hugely successful French novel (by Victor Hugo), which was about a failed French uprising, which followed a successful French revolution (their second) that switched from one monarch to a different monarch, which followed the Bourbon Restoration, which came after Emperor Napoleon got his ass kicked, which came - by many steps that you can look up yourself - after the original French Revolution which they sorta based on our American Revolution (except for the whole cutting-off-royal-heads part, that was their idea).
Apparently it's up to the English-speaking world to celebrate the poor French bastards upon whose toil has been propped up a wide variety of Kings, Emperors, Consuls, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Directors, Committees, and Conventions.
But, yeah, I'm probably not going to see it either.
I do have a question though: in a contest between General Maximus Decimus Meridius and Wolverine, who wins?
Second question: what if it's a singing contest?
Cheers,
AetheLove
