I do not trust Hollyweird. It's that simple.

You cannot have a man imprisoned for 20 years without him having first stole a loaf of bread

lol, and if there is a 20-minute graphic scene of the thief raping the bakers wife and daughter, does that not change anything?

You cannot have a story of repentance if there was nothing to repent from.

So, then the 2-hour graphic child rape scene would be justified by a repetence at the end?

Stealing is always immoral. Having exceptions is why the commies used this story for recruiting.

I was in the theater there was no 20 minute rape scene. You’re making things up now.

Looking at your comments, you are morally in error. First, you’ve misrepresented the film. Anyone who has seen it would agree with me.

Second, you misrepresented my comments. I have not claimed that a child rape scene is justified. Please, read my comments without reading into them what you want them to say.

Third, you are in error on stealing. Hypothetically, stealing a loaf of bread to stave off the threat of death can be stealing under civil law, but not immoral under moral law. Context is very important in these cases.

Speaking hypothetically. If I was alone surviving on a deserted Island and I had a few packages that were marked U.S Mail, but they also might have food in them. Opening them would be theft and yet not wrong, because I needed food. That is called an extreme case.

I'm confused. There is no child rape in Les Mis. There is the mother who descends into prostitution after losing her job.

What am I missing from your point?
