Review of Les Misérables

The characters all look wrong and are portrayed wrong. For example my favourite, Inspector Javert... his symbolic function is simply nonexistent. Instead of the law he is now singularly, manically, obsessed with Valjean, and the implication is that being homosexual is bad. Are these really the timeless themes that have kept this story relevant for hundreds of years? The male characters are all supposed be sexual naifs, but even if they weren't I find this view of the male psyche that is projected onto them to be degrading.
