Les Miserables

It's a book.
It's a Broadway musical.
And it's a movie; done many many years ago.
But yesterday, the newest version of the movie opened up in theaters and our family decided to go for Christmas.
I have never seen the movie in complete form - only scenes here and there.  And I have never read the book or seen it on Broadway, so I was really quite excited.
BUT, I HAD heard about some 'bawdy' scenes in the beginning where they tell the story of a prostitute.  In the play, it was a little racy...in the book, I'm told it was even more detailed.  For those reasons, I was slightly anxious but felt that since it was a Broadway show, seen by almost everyone I know, I felt it would be okay to see it.
I was...wrong?  Okay.  I guess what I'm saying is...even though the rest of the movie is unbelievably remarkable, I was still upset over the first 20 minutes of the movie.  In my mind, the good of the movie does NOT outweigh the bad...it only equals to it.  So, would I see it again??  Only after the first 20 minutes.  In fact, it was at one point, maybe 18 minutes into the movie, that i leaned over to Del and with all intentions and purposes, said 'Del??...' and I was going to suggest we leave, as I was most uncomfortable with some of the scenes and suggestive song.  But I stopped, and it was within minutes that the movie took the turn it needed to keep me in my seat.  For the remainder of the movie, I was glad I stayed.
But Del and I discussed it afterwards...alone AND with one or two of our children. 
Our questions were many...
When do we accept 18-20 minutes of 'being uncomfortable' for the good of the rest of the movie?
When is the 'lack of the spirit' acceptable in influencing our thoughts and feelings?
Just because it's world famous and 'everyone has seen it', was that 20 minutes what I should have accepted as 'permissable?'
Am I just being a prude and over sensitive?
Because it was 'actually what happened back in that day' make it appropriate to watch on the screen today?
It wasn't rated 'R' so was it still okay to see?
Am I justifying the bad for the outcome of the good?  (the good REALLY WAS good)?
etc etc etc..
Del and I talked a lot...and finally felt that because we were talking about it and having the questions in the first place meant that not only would we not see it again, but we probably wouldn't buy it for our home either...unless, of course, we could edit or delete out the first twenty minutes of the movie(which included one of the best songs of the movie). (and double btw, I keep using 20 minutes as a timed and accurate ending of the 'uncomfortable' part of the movie.  I did not time it and I have no idea how long it really was...I just know it was in the beginning of a 3 hour movie).
In conclusion...my synopsis of Les Miserables.
The music was fantastic, except for one song...completely (it was disgusting).
For not a single actor being a professional singer, I was thrilled with each and every one of their performances.  And even some of the younger actors had down right fantastic voices!!!!  Loved it.
The story line is profound and touching...heart wrenching.
I cried.  Yup...I cried...more than once.
But I still would not see it again.
