Excellent, witty use of the 5-7-5 form to review this epic. Of course it couldn't fit in one, have you seen the original book? I laughed so hard when I saw this and again when I read it. Loved the Crowe croaking. Very well done--Wendy

Thank you Wendy. Glad you liked it. Yes I read the original book as a teen and again as an adult.
Comment from mermaids
I am amazed how you capture this movie in a haiku format. I saw Les Mis on stage but have not seen the movie yet. Your words are an excellent summary of the movie.

Thank you so much. Actually Senryu. Haiku deals with nature. It was fun to do. Didn't do too well in the contest.
Comment from 9999pool
If only all movie reviewers are poets, the mystery of the movie can be retained and letting the audiences t be guessing as to the story line and the ending.
Poetry is always a little bit of mystery, mystique and highly critiqued by many. So I fully support this way of reviewing a movie with all info announced in the author's note and the review proper remains poetic throughout. Brilliant idea of a movie review.
Very Good movie review commented the reviewer, Ritchiesszzky, LOL. Cheers.

Thank you Ritchiesszzky, would you believe the first review I got on it was - 1 star?

Goodness me. Must be the amateur, Trieschel. Anyway my worst was a 3 for "A Life to behold" and now became a 5+, LOL. It's like a stock market here and I thought the Dow Jones has gone up. The '1' must be from someone who lost at the Dow or Down, I suppose.
Don't worry, '1' and '5' are not counted after the review has reached more than 15, I think. I know you can write and will testify to FS for that. Wonder if they got a council for complaints? Actually I want to give a sixer but they are never in my drop down rating list, darn!
Be positive and maybe that person click wrongly or did not know what she is reviewing. LOL. Ritchiesszzky.

Wow, clever and original, stacking up 5-7-5 to write the review. Impressive poem and presentation. You were able to keep it going.

This contest requires just THREE lines with a total of 17 syllables, not multiple offerings, as good as they may be.
Please PM me know if you adhere to the rules, and I'll then up-rate.
My rating is not meant to offend, but I've sponsored many contests in the past (never again), and monitoring them is a real pain when rules are not adhered to.
Best wishes, Ray

Fine. Whatever. That's pretty disappointing.
-
Why?
Don't you think it's only fair that ALL entries comply to definate contest rules, as otherwise there isn't a level playing field.
I hope you don't dislike me as a result of my review, but I do try to be honest, even though I appreciate I'm not always right.
You're certainly VERY talented as your multi submission proves.

I took the description as a format requirement not a limitation on length. I adhered to the format, no verse exceeds 3 lines. if the contest wanted to limit verses it should state, so as many do.
-
OK, we'll agree to disagree, but I admit some confusion could be gained by unclear rules.
I'll certainly sleep better now I'm about to uprate. :-) x

You clearly have a conscience and I appreciate that. Thank you. I was struggling my self to determine how a 5-7-5 poem is't one, if it has more than one stanza. I'm so sorry that I caused you a moral dilemma. I haven't won too many contests in the booth, so I guess the public will decide it. You are an honorable man, and I could tell you were struggling with this. Sleep well tonight.

Thanks, my friend. x
