Musical Obsessions

Last night, we watched Les Miserables.
Need I say more?
Oh my gosh.
It was so good.
The leaders decided we need some relaxing/team bonding after a full day of kid corralling.
Let me tell you.
I was a mess the entire movie.
It wrecked me.
I lost my crap.
Though I do admit, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crow were not my favourites, I will say that there were three particular women who just emotionally compromised me for the rest of my life. Anne Hathaway was riveting – she blew me away and I didn’t breathe the entire time she sang. Man, she was so raw and wonderful and i don’t know how she did it. Then – Amanda Seyfried – oh my gosh. Not gonna lie, it was funny at first to see Karen singing, but, man, Cosette became so much more real than Karen by the end of the movie. DID YOU HEAR THOSE NOTES SHE HIT??? Literally got chills. And the woman that played Eponine (Samantha Barks) just shattered me. Her voice was so beautiful, I cried. Again. The women in this movie blew me away. And I’ve always loved the ultimate theme of this musical – love. True love, unconditional and everlasting. I love the line “to love is to look upon the face of God”  and it’s sooooo true!
Blerp
I’m gonna stop now before I explode.
Thank you Jesus for good movies.

Peace out girl scout.
