Viva La France

I was talking with my friend Katie about Les Miserables. She had seen the movie and was pointing out differences between the film version and the stage version. (We probably should be comparing both derived works to the original Victor Hugo novel but i've never met anyone who has read it.) She noted the absence of Eponine from the flick. She then went on to tell me that Jacques Chirac doesn't die at the end. (I'm pretty sure she meant to say Jean Valjean. Those French names can be tricky.)

How can you mix up Jacques Chirac and Jean Valjean? I mean, one is the president of France and one is a fictional character. hmm.....
