It literally made me sick to my stomach, and feeling cold and shaky for about an hour. This is what happened in the book though. This is also the only version of Les Mis I’ve seen to actually include this scene. Fantine is, in my opinion, literature’s most tragic character 😢
@@KJW-js9bvthey actually did include the teeth pulling scene in the theatrical musical from 2012 with Anne Hathaway, granted it didn’t go on for as long and it wasn’t her front teeth. This is definitely more true to the original.
@@angell8632 I remember that. It was a step closer, but as it wasn’t her front teeth and therefore not as visibly tragic, it wasn’t quite there for me. Though I did love Anne Hathaway’s performance- and the decision to place “I Dreamed a Dream” after she becomes a prostitute rather than after she was fired. I thought that was a more powerful placement for that song
That one doesn't count, many people over the years have had back teeth pulled out because there were no dentists or room in the mouth. Front teeth however is a different tragic story... @@angell8632
Back then it was common to use "human teeths" for making dentures. There are even the ones made from the teeth from the dead soldiers of The Battle of Waterloo 👀
When the show came out i watched this show with my dad, and he covered my eyes for this scene. Now i see why, poor fantine
This scene scared me so much when they pulled her teeth out of her mouth

Why did they pull out her teeth?
Fantine got her hair cut and teeth pulled out to get money.
