Love and warmth in a miserable world

Let me talk about the bishop first. I was particularly impressed. Because Jean Valjean, the protagonist in the film, stole a piece of bread, but spent many years in jail for no reason. After he was released from prison, he still suffered from people's indifference. One night, when he could only sleep in the corner of the church, the bishop woke him up, let him enter the church, served him delicious meals, and put him in bed. However, Jean Valjean stole the silverware from the church and was later caught back to the church. I was most impressed when the bishop said that these were all given to Jean Valjean by him. I think it is precisely because of this move of the bishop that Jean Valjean has also become a warm and kind person.

In fact, Javert also left a deep impression on me. He pursued justice and only looked to the law. It can be said that he was an extremely rational person. So when he was released by a criminal, his faith began to collapse, and he gradually Doubt, denying myself, and finally chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Of course, there is Jean Valjean. He is not perfect, he also made mistakes in the beginning and went to jail. But after the bishop justified his crime, his warmth influenced Jean Valjean. By the end of the film, that segment really touched me. Jean Valjean was sitting in the temple and Marius and Cosette came to say goodbye to him. He saw Fantine and the bishop who greeted him.

Jean Valjean was a great man. In that miserable world, he insisted on his faith and brought love and warmth to people.
