Intro
One of the most popular musicals of all time is coming to the big screen. A brand new adaptation of Les Miserables, the classic French novel, will be in theaters soon.
The thing about musicals, though, is that some people love them, and some people really hate them. Those who love them love the melodrama and the fantasy. Those who hate them hate exactly the same aspects, and maybe they don’t like the music, either.
Vocab
Example The movie Clueless is actually an modern adaptation of the Jane Austen novel Emma.
Example I can't stand movies with melodramatic endings. I prefer subtle endings that are more like real-life.
