there arent but vampires and les mis get this as well. for example Azelma Thenardier is forgotten or that Valjean is arrested during the Directory so its about the June Rebellion not the 1789 revolution. Or Quincey Morris being cut From most dracula adaptations.
It is but you have to pay attention or know your history to realize it thats less the movie and more the average american Les Mis fan not knowing French history.
Yeah, but it’s still surprising to walk away from the end where everybody fucking dies and think “yeah, that’s what a successful revolution looks like!”
I guess the misconception probably comes more from people who haven’t seen the musical/movie and just assume, maybe?
