I like giant majestic things so the moment the ship appears and the loud, deep, base comes in, it always makes my little nerd heart happy and gives me goosebumps all over
Here is a fun fact. The structure they are pulling the ship into is called a grading dock. Hence the lyric "... you are standing in your grave." It is a fun double entendre.
Yessss! I saw the broadway version first without hearing any of the soundtrack or seeing the movie. I was completely confused as to what was going on cuz I thought the mayor was a completely different person, and we had never seen that Valjean was strong 😂 still was amazing tho
@@KorsarNikHe's my favorite character of the story. Tragically flawed, but human. He came from nothing but he still did "the king's work" because it represented order and discipline which were sacred to him. Pretty heavy to think how his undoing came when he realized that by doing the morally right thing (letting Valjean go) he could no longer be "incorruptible."
Slate Crowe as much as you want, this was a movie, not a concert. His acting was fantastic. The condescending and evil tone of the word ‘no’ really sets his character up with just the delivery of a one syllable word.
It goes into the list of "opening music number that didn't have to go that hard" but we all know it wouldn't have been made the rest of it as iconic if that wasn't there.
I don't know what people are complaining about. I've never seen the musical but I believe that Russell Crowe did an excellent job as the Inspector. I also enjoyed the singing.
My guesses: 1) Though the first part is fine, because it's made as a song, the second part when Javert acts like an asshole towards Valjean is basically a standard dialogue that is sung and that sounds weird as hell. Done once it's fine, but done throughout the entire movie it becomes annoying. 2) If you want to turn dialogue into music, you can't just throw a melody and call it a day, the dialogue itself should be changed to fit the format. Again, compare the first part, which is an actual song, with the second pat, which sounds weird. Had they made the sung dialogue more melodic and musical instead of just being poorly sung conversations I don't think people would have complained so much. 3) The final thing, which ties into the other two, is that they discarded all known techniques that go into the making of a musical, supposedly to make it more authentic, but ended up throwing away the very things that the makers of musicals learned to do to make good musicals, so not only is the producer's attitude pretentious, the end result is a weird, annoying mix of professional AAA+ acting performance and second rate amateurish musical production.

@@Diego-zz1dfwaa waa waa, someone call the whambulance. If I was a director and Russell Crowe (a non singer) said, "I don't and really can't sing all the gd time" I would have said, "fine, do whatever suits you Maximus" than kowtowing to a bunch of theater nerds about how they are not singing 100% of the time
Jean was strong, like a beast. A remarkable once in a lifetime mutant. It plays into the story. The scene tells the viewer that this is Jean without any question.
Una amiga me invitó a ver esta película al cine y recuerdo haber ido a regañadientes porque “no me gustan los musicales” pero al final de esta escena estaba absolutamente rendido a la película y fan a ultranza hasta el día de hoy.
People criticize Russell Crowe's singing, but I honestly enjoyed listening to and watching him sing in this film in a theater back in 2012 was much more enjoyable than watching and listening to Phillip Phillips singing "Fat Bottom Girls" and "Time of the Season" on 'American Idol' that year.
The ship as a symbol of the State. Powerful, huge, majestic, intimidating: but also vulnerable, wounded… and without the small men pulling it, the ship would founder and sink.
SpetsnatzLegion 336 it really shows how brutal this time period is, and how brutal the French monarchs were, valuing there boats more then the lives of hundreds.
The visuals are so impressive that enjoy this scene every time albeit the oral performance is lagging behind dramatically. Hugh Jackman has an impressive physical presence what makes him the perfect Wolverine - as young man, but also as broken anti-hero. But he can't sing. Period. And his has not the acting class of Russel Crowe. His acting is sufficient, also for this role, but maybe they should have used the singing voice of a professional singer instead of his. Crowe's singing voice is also rather limited, but his style matches his character, and in this movie version, his acting skills are more important than his singing skills. That's why his interpretation of Javert is one I really enjoy. It a character you love to hate, but the more you learn about him, the more things are shifting. He is not evil, but his poor upbringing made him bitter. The medal he attached to the dead body of Gavroche is the highest honor which can be bestowed on an officer of the French army. It tells you you, how it was possible for him to overcome his low birth - through valor and competence -, but also why it mattered so much that he gave it away. And Crowe brought this Javert, his complexity, his broken nature, his contradictions, to live.
There was no standardized painting, and it was up to each individual captain's taste in what color scheme to use. Nelson did preferred the "yellow and black" and started a fashion trend how to paint ship.
Have you ever actually lived in America? Cuz if you have you might want to see a doctor about your delusions, and if you haven't then you probably shouldn't be commenting on how it feels to live in America.
alice he looks, and behaves like Javert, but his singing just isn’t good enough for such a massive role (especially when you compare him to that legendary voice of Philip Quast).
No it is based on the June Rebellion in 1832 in Paris the actual French Revolution happened in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille on July 14th of that year and lasted until 1799 roughly
Les Mis timeline is from 1815-1832. It covers the June Rebellion in 1832. French Revolution did not happen in the movie, musical, or book, however the I think the impact of the French Revolution was discussed in the book.
Baja la mirada no los mires a los ojos,estarás aquí asta morir, no hay ningún dios arriba, solo un infierno abajo, aun faltan 20 años, yo no he echo nada malo,querido Jesús escucha mi oración,baja la mirada al querido Jesús no le importa.

This movie was almost perfect - with the exception of Russell Crowe. Think how perfect it would have been if Rufus Sewell played Javert (think Adamar from A Knight’s Tale). He can even sing!
I swear these sing alongs can get pretty annoying real fast and I mean fast like a snap of a finger there only good for a intro for instance pirates of the Caribbean at worlds end that’s it move along lol

Having Valjean retrieve the flag was perfect because that allowed Javert to actually see Valjean's strength
Yessss! I saw the broadway version first without hearing any of the soundtrack or seeing the movie. I was completely confused as to what was going on cuz I thought the mayor was a completely different person, and we had never seen that Valjean was strong 😂 still was amazing tho
@David McConville Looks like Javert is a full-hearted napoleonist still.

Carrying the Flag of the French Republic like Jesus Carried the Cross, imagery is intense in this scene. Beaten, but not forgotten.

I don’t think that’s what it represented. It actually represents how the poor keep the french nation running at the command of the wealthy.

Didn't they learn anything? If you want someone to keep his eyes down, just tell them "whatever you do, don't look down".
I knew NOTHING going into this... and never has the opening few seconds of a movie so blown me away and immediately hooked me!!!
One of the most iconic opening scenes 👍
It goes into the list of "opening music number that didn't have to go that hard" but we all know it wouldn't have been made the rest of it as iconic if that wasn't there.
Agree, so similar to Deliver Us from DreamWorks "The Prince Of Egypt".
It upsets me that the full version of this song wasn't on the soundtrack. The prisoners verses are the best part
Right this is my favorite scene
We get two versions instead of one
Justo me había dado cuenta en Spotify, aún sigo buscando la versión completa

One of the best scenes in movie history
David Hayes
I think so, too.
True
Unless you've ever seen the original GOOD les mis.
no matter how i look at him, i only see a wolverine there
Are you joking if that was wolverine he would have sliced him up in seconds
I imagine retrieving the flag would’ve been easier if he’d of removed it from the giant wooden mast it was attached to.
Jean was strong, like a beast. A remarkable once in a lifetime mutant. It plays into the story.
The scene tells the viewer that this is Jean without any question.
The warship is one of the most potent symbols of State power, but it is also fragile- like the state. (Roughly paraphrased from director commentary)
The strength of a people, with all of their scars, carry their country.

Me and the boys unblocking the Suez Canal
The drum crescendo was added for the movie. On stage, it just goes right into the horn part abruptly. I'm not sure what I prefer.
The retrieve the flag part is on my workout playlist for heavy lifting days
THAT'S. NOT. HOW. A. DRY. DOCK. WORKS!!! They're destroying the ship's keel!!!
AnD i'M jAvIeRt
I love this scene
"every prisoner will say they are innocent "
The first time I heard Les mis I thoght he said "I stole a LOT of breaaaad" and I didn't get why was he so mad 😂
It means I'm freEeeeeEeEEeEeEEeeEEEe
NO! Follow to the letter your "itinery!"

i just love how it shows the destroyed french Man-o-war, showing the end of the napoleónico wars.
Gladiator sing more than Wolverine😄
At that moment when the Gladiator meets the Wolverine
This was my favorite part, mainly cause after this every conversation is a song and it gets tiresome.
Hugh Jackman was good enough to beat DDL in Lincoln. In fact, he should have

Just a minute , dragging a vessel in to dry dock must be a first! ....Its fucking impossble!
what did you just see?
This opening and also Arabian Nights song from Will Smith Aladdin are my favorites.
lol.... "Stole a loaf of breeeeeeaaaaaaadddddd"
Yo that boat is not OK, no wonder they’re taking it into dry dock it’s damn near sinking
SpetsnatzLegion 336 it really shows how brutal this time period is, and how brutal the French monarchs were, valuing there boats more then the lives of hundreds.

Noah.... You shouldn't have messed with wolverine....
Rn i feel like this is the company I work for 🤣
My name I wol-va-reeenn..And Im Jor-ell..
They gave us just a little more time to brace for Russell Crowe's singing. It's still a pretty harsh transition.
Hugh carrying the Flag pole is a metaphor for the audience's relationship with Russell Crowe's singing.
His singing is great.
This scene set me up to expect a much better movie.
its an amazing film!!!!!!
No
Me too :(
It's such a good film tho?
Awesome!
He said retriever the flag - not the mast.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the French had white and black on there ships yellow and black were the British
captured ship? just grabbed a ship and modeled it? Could be several reasons.
It’s modelled on Victory. The scene was shot in the dry dock next to victory in Portsmouth.
There was no standardized painting, and it was up to each individual captain's taste in what color scheme to use. Nelson did preferred the "yellow and black" and started a fashion trend how to paint ship.
This movie is good but it’s depressing.

Monsieur JV *Jean Valjean
I am Javert
buta la pelicula ql wena wn!!!
Janky editing and cutting. Javert goes from in front of Valjean when he’s bringing the flag over, to being on his side in a split second.
This was a great movie cinematically but musically it was quite horrible.
Was Les Mis based off the French Revolution historic period or no?
I’m not an expert in history so I’m curious
No it is based on the June Rebellion in 1832 in Paris the actual French Revolution happened in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille on July 14th of that year and lasted until 1799 roughly
