- Amazing scene. God also bought us with a price. Send this to a friend so they can appreciate this work of art.
I saw this clip as part of a sermon. Here are the links to parts 1-4 of that sermon. This movie clip goes between parts 1 and 2. Great sermon.

And Basil Poledouris music as well
"In the morning, I'll be a new man."
Priest: Imma hold you to that.
Legit

@@blackbird5634 lol ur cute
This is so powerful, this is the moment his life changes forever . I love this movie thanks for uploading
This scene is one of my all time favorites. It's the heart of Christianity--Grace. Sadly, it's lacking in many outspoken Christian these days.
There are many Christians out there that point this out but very few are willing to change.
I just said the same thing above! 😂
I like when Javert finally grows a heart.
When saw we thee an stranger (foreigner) Lord, and took thee in?
How do we compare? Are we "feel good" Christians who deceive ourselves? Or are we taking up our cross only to find we do not bear it alone and that the one who bore the sins of all (for all are guilty) is bearing with us patiently. And if we are patient will won't feel the inextinguishable shame of our negelect to do likewise when G-d raises us all for either that jiyous reunion or that shameful time. Rather than concern ourselves with labeling others as narcissists for validation or whatever... we should be concerned with trying to buy our enemie's soul back to G-d. To unbastardize and dis-alienate whoever, whenever, and in any degree we can. If it means they do better as a shade plant, let us help them be the best shade plant until G-d makes a miracle of them. Let us forgive those who wronged us so many times. Let us love our enemies and not enable their sin or participate in their contention. Let us be merciful to be claimed as such when we have it in our power. And when the tears of Rachel from an ex or the Tisha B'Av of their turning a child against their father echoes the work of the Accuser turning G-d's children against Him... let us remember that sin is not forever and that the dross will be gone and Satan will be powerless in the end. Let us look for the consolation nit as the world gives with subjective "truth" but with the eternal promises of the One who is mighty to save. In Jesus' name, Amen.
I find that Cjristianity is unfortunately no longer good enough as a religion. 😔
"I know who you are"...The Bishop really is a Holy Man.
One of Neeson's best performances and Geoffrey Rush's too.
The most powerful scene it still encourages me to be a better man
saw this movie in high school English. it was my first exposure to les mis and I fell in love with it ever since. the movie will hold a special place in my heart
Same with me. I was freed from my aggrieved feelings and was able to graduate from university.
My music teacher made us watch this movie in elementary school! So happy I found it
One of the best moments in the history of cinematography…
Cinematography, and literature too.
Master Aemon saving yet another soul.
Egg, I dreamed I was old 😢
I cry every time. Such a powerful scene. When he calls him "my brother"...😢😢
Before prison: JVJ is an honest man. He stole bread to feed his starving, dying wife, and gets thrown into prison.
After prison: JVJ is a hardened criminal, with a harsh, violent outlook on life - willing to hurt the Bishop to steal his silver.
After the Bishop helps him: JVJ realizes the error of his ways, and feels reformed.
Still think the prison system works?
I currently read les miserables and JVJ didn't steal food to save his wife, but he stole food to save his sisters children, who had lost their father, and as his sister and him didn't earn enough for all of them, they were starving. I just think that that's even more selfless than if he did it for his wife.
Also yes prison systems can work. Just not like this. If the system focuses on teaching the prisoners useful skills, treats them human and most important reintegrates them into society, it can work. In JVJs case he was neither treated like a human nor was he reintegrated, but instead made an outcast. This lead to him having no chances at an even remotely good future, which lead to despair. A good prison system makes sure that the people after they have suffered the appropriate consequences for their actions have opportunities to actually lead a better life.
He has to want to change. To be better. A lot of people don’t.
One of the most powerful and moving examples of grace and mercy caught on film. There is no need for kindness and compassion to be spineless, in fact these things are the very essence of true strength. Beautiful and inspiring. Many years ago it inspired me to show compassion to others and, in my own small way, I have done so.
With one single character, Hugo utterly destroyed the idea that prison can help a person reform.
JVJ was in prison for a decade - but it was that one instance of selfless kindness by a stranger that inspired him onto a path of goodness.
He just made up a scenario. There's no empirical evidence that the book provides that "destroys" the idea that prison can help a person reform.
@@bobbymccullough3210 I invite you to f around in France since you seem to know so much.

@@billhicks808 Exactly what I said.
"don't forget, don't ever forget you promise to be a new man"
One of the greatest movies ever made. And this scene is one among the highlights of the film.
Completely agree
The second half of the movie is forgettable. The first half is what makes it
Beautiful scene. A perfect illustration of God’s grace to us. Not only do we not have to endure what we deserve but are given so much more beyond that.
This movie is a complete masterpiece in all aspects ❤
What we should be teaching our children. This is powerful.
Wow. Is all I have to say. One of the greatest scenes ever. Wowww
"How do you know I won't murder you?" said Myriel, and then he truly bought his soul. From that moment Jean Valjean was a new man, this scene gives meaning to the whole story.
"I know who you are" .... awe-inspiring.
“For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to see Me.’
Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
- Matthew 25:35
Best opening scene to a movie Ive ever seen. Unforgettable. No wonder this movie is getting so hard to find and exactly why they quickly buried it with an updated version.
Because who in real life would take an illiterate thief in and allow you to steal from them? I am still shocked he hit the bishop... He is like old..
@@Wolfsbane909 You would be suprised, there are such ppl out there. And they aren’t lefties who hate law enforcment…lol. Richard Wurmbrand, his family, and Andre Trocme are a few.
One of the best movies ever and for sure the best version. Great actors, direction, everything!
This is one of my all-time favorite scenes, of one of my all-time favorite movies. ❤❤❤
Beautiful. Powerful. Well done.
I also love this exchange in the version with Hugh Jackman-I can’t watch that scene without tearing up every time, something about Jackman’s vulnerability and Wilkinson’s genuine grace as the bishop.
This is both grace (getting what you don't deserve) and mercy (not getting what you do deserve) in a single act!
Powerful words He belong to God now right words in the right moment
Liam Neeson did an OUTSTANDING job as Jean Valjean
In this scene feels as though God is speaking to me. All from His Grace and with the help of the Holy Spirit
This scene is one of my core memories.
As the movie I have thinking booking les miserables, In 1998, Liam Nesson as Jean Valjean, Iwant to say Liam Nesson is a very wonderful an actor.
What a powerful scene.
If the book wasn't so long more people would read it. I read the abridged version once. It was good.
Love to you Vin. May the Lord bless and keep you.
Really like this movie. It's more impactful than the musical.
Way more indeed. I think the musical aspect drags the story down.
@@colourfaze86 Victor Hugo isn't appropriate for a musical. The absolute master of plot and hard-hitting dialog doesn't suit the musical genre in the least. The Les Mis narrative is delicate and brutal, heavier than spent uranium slugs, and extraordinarily, blindingly beautiful. No, the kindly French monsignor doesn't suddenly break into song.
Disagree wholeheartedly
Two of my favorite Jean Valjeans - Liam Neeson and Colm Wilkinson.
Both Irish.
One of my favorite films. Such a beautiful story.
Best movie version. Great cast.
Oh Lord thank you for your grace!
This movie is better than the musical
Without reading the original novel, it seems to me the Bishop helped him because
1. He was honest about his crime right from the time he knocked on the door
2. His only crime was to steal food, which is understandable given the food shortage at that time in that place
3. He overpaid for his crime by serving 19 years of Hard labor
He had the right mindset but circumstances made him the person he is, the Bishop righty realized he is capable of change if offered a chance
And his punishment was only extended because he tried to escape multiple times. Can't blame him with the implications that he was brutally abused in more ways than one.
We taped this Great Movie off TV on 9/6/2000 commercial Free & watch it often(now) 12/20/23🇺🇸 2:45pm🌦
The 1998 version has its flaws but I’ve always thought the first half of the film was a wonderful adaptation of the book. The acting was superb. The cinematography was beautiful. Even the music is touching. But once the movie begins with Cosette as a young woman, everything just falls apart. And we do not speak about the ending! Never!!
i become christian for this book
Wow. I can see it.
Very powerful. Rachmanus is a divine attribute available to all men.
Thank u I found the right one not that 2012 one lol
I love this scene.
A masterpiece
and you will be fishers of men .... never been a greater time for harvest , who shall cast their nest the widest? great rewards await them who the Lord will not find idle when He returns
WHAT A INTENSE SCENE !!!!!....I NEVER FORGOT THE BOOK....THAN THIS SCENE EXPRESS SO EXTRAORDINARY WELL.....
This was beautiful. I do wish, however, they were not explicit with violence. We would have known that that poor man was being abused without the thud thud sounds of him being kicked and them actually showing it.
After watching this, I promise as well.
It is amazing
I like how father asks "Did you forget to take them?" at 6:01 . Was it Jan Valjan' conscience, guilt left them there!? Or maybe He was implying "new man" promise of jan valjan while teleling "did you forget" part.
Amazing grace
Who the hell decided to make this a musical?
People forget hard those who hurt and help them
How kind of Maester Aemon to help Qui Gon Jin here
10 years on medieval prison only for stealing bread! The man must be scared.
Actually he was 20 year in prison. Five years was the original term, and 15 years because 3 atempts of escape.
This might be unrelated, but I still know how to read, count and spell. Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching this after reading Luke 6, is it something we can (or should) ever do?
I don’t remember Aemon Targaryen taking in prisoner 24601. Must be why he took the black and went to The Wall.
I miss you so much
It must be weakned to evolve
What's this movie you will find it interesting
Never seen it. I will soon because it seems to have a lot of qualities. But, as a huge lover of Victor Hugo master piece I have son problems seeing Valjean punching Monseigneur Myriel. It appears... not pertinent and disturbing. Valjean quits the house as a thief, everyone sleeping. Without any violence. The violence is inside him, with the fight between what it became after 19 years and what his primal nature was. My favorite video adaptation is the one of Robert Hossein with Lino Ventura.
I hope something like this happens to me so I can find god.
Is that maester Aemon?
Yes, saving another soul)
☯️🌏🪬♻️🌌
Maester Aemon
I am Jean valjean
Nicely decorated with your beautiful flowers
Inspector Javert (Geoffrey Rush):
"I knew it!!!"
True priests then
Yes, like Claude Frollo
Je suis vivant je suis AZOR MAXO
This movie lacks soul.
That statement reflects badly upon your own soul sir. Think on that.
@@LocutusBorgOf not on the level of les miserables 1978... I love Les Miserables but not this one even my fav actor liam neeson in it.
@@LocutusBorgOf look at the priest damn... No emotional points, no divide power... Where the parts Valjean spent his time in the prison? These are very important points missing in the movie.
What an idiotic comment

Dominic west and Derek Jacobi did it better in 2018.
