Big Screen, Big Crucibles IV: Les Miserables
You've heard us talk a lot over the years at Beyond the Crucible about the power of forgiveness — and that's one of the core themes of our discussion this week of LES MISERABLES, the fourth film in our summer series BIG SCREEN, BIG CRUCIBLES.
Everyone in the movie experiences a crucible, but those who receive and then extend mercy and forgiveness to others are the ones who find lives of significance. Those too rigid to see the best in others, or in themselves — like the prison guard and policeman Javert --  wind up — as one of the American translations of the film's title puts it — The Miserable Ones.
Dive deeper into your personal narratives with our BIG SCREEN, BIG CRUCIBLES guided journal, meticulously crafted to enhance your experience with our podcast series exploring cinema's most transformative crucible stories.
