This film in one word=feat. What an amazing feat to create the landscape and emotion of the time but also remain truly timeless. It is no wonder that so many people love this musical and are captivated by its sheer epic qualities. While the first half moved smoothly and kept my attention, the second part became a bit stretched and less gripping--that is, until the end sequences. This is probably due to my own attention span with musicals: longer than 2 hours makes me fairly restless.
Wonderful performances from the entire cast. I especially liked Enjolras played by Aaron Tveit.
