I cried too but I knew I was going to cry! I’m not exaggerating either, he was still sitting there sobbing as everyone else left the cinema. His emotional reaction to things is one of the things I love about him though.

He also understood a bit about the time period of Les Miserables because he knows about Australian history and all the convicts sent here for doing something as little as stealing some bread. So that made it even sadder for him because he knew the unfair punishment for such minor crimes and that so many people had a terrible life simply because they were unlucky enough to be born into poverty.

He is not ashamed of bawling his eyes out either and I’m glad he doesn’t hide his emotions. Being able to talk about how the film moved him led to conversations about history, which I always love to talk about.
