The images never cease. My twitter feeds me a constant stream of tweetpics, which are now opened with more care. Photo's taken in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and Libya. The closest we can get to the conflict, and possibly the most personal. Images of people with limbs blown off. The ground strewn with dismembered body parts. Buildings destroyed. Families huddled together in prayer.
Revolutions arise out of the desire for the world to be contrary to it's current state. A belief in a perfect or better society. Freedom from the current overhead oppression.
Les Miserables is a story about this desire for societal change. For equality. The common man's belief in justice. It deals with themes of grace, love and reconciliation, however they appear remain peripheral to the central theme of justice and freedom. In the end, at what cost was justice achieved?
I dare you; find a revolution that achieved what it desired with out bloodshed and fear. A revolution that became all it promised it would, without marginalising community groups or afflicting religions or race.
