Short but good !
I watched this TV movie because I'm a fan of the novel Les Miserables and I was curious about what a modern, Japanese adaptation would look like. But to be honest, I didn't expect much from it since the film only lasts two and a half hours, and in general, the only works that can convey the integrity of the plot of Les Miserables are series.However, this telefilm succeeds not only in that but also in being faithful to the spirit of the novel while being innovative and knows how to adapt the story to the modern era and to the current times. We find there the denunciations of social injustices, the daily struggles and also the complexity of the human soul.
The actors are also all very fair and touching. I repeat myself, but we find the complexity of the various plots of the novel. The end is nevertheless more positive, which does not hurt, but does not however fall into utopia as some adaptations have done (see the 1998 film).
The film is also interesting even for those who do not know or are not fans of the novel.

The story doesn't have the law-proceeding of Saito Futoshi money fraud, even if he is dead the family has to take the responsibility of the cheating, Baba Jun has lost both his mother and brother but Saito family has lost a person who was a fraud, Director only cared about the babu Jun mistakes according to law, but in my opinion even Saito Futoshi law proceeding should also be expressed to the audience. Over the location, music, acting, all were as expected, but the story lacked a lot. Though the genre says romance, but there is no romance in the movie.
Thanks,
Meena.
