Samantha Barks isn't given enough credit in this movie, in my opinion she is the best in the movie, yet just because she wasn't famous before hand, she is just taken for granted and no one knows her unbelievable talent #proudsprout!
she is my idol and I know what you mean... but I think you mis read... what I meant was everyone else in the movie was given so much credit, with Oscars and interviews and posters and things... but sam was one of the bigger roles yet she didn't have any posters or major interviews, purely because she wasn't famous in the movie world before hand. In my opinion tshe should of been recognised a lot more because people are missing out on her amazing talent. :)
:) thanks ahaaa... she is so good and not enough people recognise her because of more well known actors like hugh and anne ... but her time is coming :) #christmascandle :D
Nicole Whinnett I agree with you and also think Aaron Tveit did not get nearly enough credit, his vocals are AMAZING, and not to mention he's extremely attractive ;)
I really wish Enjolras and the students would get mentioned in things like this. I'm more interested with their characters and the barricade then the protagonists and the prostitutes
I agree, I am playing a student in my schools production, and I think the bond between their characters is very important. It should get more attention!
Seriously this movie is so beautiful!, I just hate when people start talking crap about it because every actor makes a great job on their role and make the story come to life ♥
just got the chance to watch this wonderful movie for the first time on Amazon Prime in 2023. I wish I could’ve watched it much earlier. Great great musical! Anyone else also here in 2023?
Did Tom Hooper get an award for this? Because the amount of detail and intricacy that went into making this film deserves immense amounts of credit. I havent even seen the theatrical production but I think from the looks of this and behind the scenes cuts I've seen of theatrical versions, this is ten times more real and impressive. But I guess for something that is performed in front of a live audience and in a single take can't achieve the power of a film. But then again, some people say the theatrical production feels more 'magical'. I dont know.
+Piwork69 "Devastating" is right! I have never seen such a powerfully-delivered, emotional song performance in any movie before that I can remember! It seemed SO real; how you might expect a poor woman in her situation to "sing" a soliloquy about the real hell her life had become.
I cannot listen to her version without sobbing. Even without watching her in the scenes you can here it in her voice. It's an incredibly powerful version.
When I read the book I cried... When I saw the theatre musical I didn't... When I saw this beautiful version on the big-screen it broke my heart and I cried... Watching this made me cry again from remembering the film! Never in our lives have my friend and I cried so much! Beautiful set, amazing cast, everything brilliantly done! Really want to go see it again!
There's something about the music from les miserables that makes me so emotional. I cried at this, I cry at the soundtrack, I can't help myself! It speaks so much truth, meaning and passion. I love it.
A local church near me (a HUGE church) put on a Christmas production. The pastor surprised everybody when he started talking about how he grew to love plays / theater and before we knew it, the lights went dark and the spotlight was on a lady who began singing 'I dreamed a dream'.......It was one of the coolest moments ever.
Made me want to cry! To see the passion that they put in this work of art is just overwhelming! You can see from the whole cast's expressions that they love what they are doing with this film and they want it to be perfect! Extraordinary really; proud to be a fan!
The problem with the trailer was that it painted Fauntine as the main character, which she isn't. She dies less than halfway through the first act. Yep...
I was in a professional performance of Les miserables when I was aged 11 until I was 12. I'm 13 now, we performed it in Scotland. Most amazing experience I have ever, and will ever have
This film got my heart. I regret I couldn’t watch right after it was released. It took 12 years to do so. 💔 I love it. One of my favourite period films.
I saw this on stage in London, England and was mesmerized. Came back to Canada and sang the music in a stage performance. Of all the music I’ve done, this had the biggest impact on me. Didn’t expect to like the movie, but I loved it!
this moving was honestly, the most incredibly moving and touching experience i've ever had the honor to watch. never in my life has a movie made me just step back and realize, "wow, life is just too precious". it blew my mind in every sense of the word & i just can't thank the cast and crew enough for such a stunning movie. & i think this is the deepest youtube post i've ever made considering i'm thirteen.
Anyone who knows me, knows "speechless" is not my MO .. but after seeing this stunner, I am. MANY applauses to the cast and director. Thank you for bringing real theater back to film!
I never was a big fan of Russell Crowe but NOW I am. After watching this movie, I decided to watch all his movies I didn't already see. And I really don't understand those who don't like his voice! His voice is great and his acting...well, no one should question his acting.
The film takes the story places the stage production just can't go. I've been a Les His fan for 20 years, I've read two translations of Dumas novel, seen the film versions of that...despite all this, I left the theater feeling that I understood the story in an entirely new light. I now have a new depth of appreciation for the songs I've known for years. I was absolutely blown away.
even though this movie was long, and i chose to go at 9 when i was already exhausted, i still really loved the movie. It made me so emotional, and i would LOVE to watch it again.
I will never ever forget the day that I went to go see Les Miserables in the theater, it was one of the most amazing and emotional days in my entire life.
the idea of singing this live and recording at the same time was absolutely brilliant I wish they would do more like this it's hard to describe the passion that these actors and actresses have this was so fantastically done
I watched the movie twice, I cried twice.. Never cried when I saw it on stage (twice). I love Les Mis, it's one of the best best best musical ever. Thanks for posting this video.
In movies, the acting is more important than the singing, even in musicals. These actors are able to become the characters, to really live out every emotion, and it's okay if it affects their singing, because it's a movie, and the acting is what is most in focus. I haven't seen the stage version, but this movie has at least introduced me to Les Miserables, which wouldn't have happened otherwise. Now I dream of seeing it live on Broadway one day.
After watching this i respect the producers more than the actors now....... their efforts to make everything become reality are impressive (especially the creation of the song "Suddenly"). Hope this movie can win Oscar awards because they really took a big step in cinema history.
Throughout the whole movie I was shaking and I cries for the whole second half of the movie. It moved me and the movie changed me. I am a different person.
I love this masterpiece so much! I wasn't prepared to fall in love with this movie the way I have. I'm afraid of how many times I'm going to see this movie. Brava! Hollywood got it right!
I went into the film after experiencing a day on set. After seeing the musical. After performing the musical. But it was if I was watching it for the first time. I can not fault a single scene and have watched it three times. Cried thoughout the film every time and I can't get enough of it. Bravo everyone involved. you excelled yourselves!
yes one of those shooty gun ride things where you have to aim for the national guard soldier and you get a certain amount of points n a barricade rollercoaster lmao
I still get goose bumbs everytime any of them sing. Gah. That's how real this movie feels for me. They were fantastic. I can't wait till I own this film
I just watched it and I have to say it is one of the best movies I've ever seen, if not the best! I have been waiting for them to put this on the screen for 18 years, and I can't believe how great of a job they did! Bravo! They didn't only do Les MIserables justice, they built a whole new level for musicals in general.
Finally the emotion is captured, im tired of seeing endless MT performers smile their way through these songs an this story, an MT performer should be at heart an actor a song is simply a monologue, Anne Hathaway wipes the floor with every MT college performer ive seen, and I work in the industry. Stunning emotion
Okay... now Cameron Mackintosh... please do the same thing with Phantom Of The Opera.... i know there's been one, but one where they sing live would be amazing....
I agree. I loved the movie version already, so I wish it was the same cast an everything, just live. That would've made the movie way more dramatic and beautiful. Then the acting and emotion could be emphasized.
Even if you have no idea what Les Mis is about, even if you don't like musicals, just see it. Trust me, words cannot describe how perfect this film is.
I didn't cry until the meaning of the final chorus reprise hit me like a ton of bricks. Absolutely brilliant. Javer could have reacted like Jean when forgiveness and mercy were extended to him but he didn't. Sad.
I'm up to 9 times. I never saw the Broadway show so it was all new to me. This movie takes away, it's amazing, it's like nothing I've ever experienced before. The cast is incredible, yes, even Russell Crowe.
I am obsessed with this movie I have been singing the songs in my head all day for like a week straight have the soundtrack on my iphone and listen to it from beginning to end and can picture the whole movie.
I watched Les Miserables just two weeks ago at a movie theatre. Awesome movie! I like the fact that the actors themselves are singing; they're not just lip syncing to someone else's singing, like it is with most musical movies I've seen.
This movie takes a great book, turned into a life changing play, to the limits of incarnation. Absolutely, makes you feel like you are by yourself in a theater, and you forget about reality, you forget about your troubles, and you see it all brand new for the first time. This film IS the absolutely mold shattering. You can FEEL the story. It's YOUR story. This is how a musical SHOULD be done. 10 for 10.
I cried five times during this movie, how sad is that?!? I cried when Eponine (sorry if I spelt her name wrong) sung her solo, also when she died. I cried when Jean Valjean died, I cried after the little boy died when that man was crying and holding him in his arms and I also cried when Eddie Redmayne absolutely aced his solo of 'Empty Chairs and Empty Tables'!! :)
I absolutely love the fact that they paid attention to everyone's teeth because we see so many movies portraying that particular era where the directors seem to have forgotten the fact that no one had pearly white teeth in the 18th century.
From what I've read, it seems many people involved in the film were confused with the timeframe. The battle in the film is the June Rebellion of 1832--16 years before the revolution in 1848. So, this film is really historically about a failed uprising in 1832, and the embers of which ignited a revolution many years later. The idea that the barricade boys fought a failed uprising does make the plot even sadder.
Its one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. And they made it look so real its so spectacular and full of emotion and opens your eyes to a different story and heart full of emotion
God this movie was so incredible... The emotions were so raw and believable it made me choke practically because I could just feel these characters' emotions as if I were in their situation! All these actors, singers and everyone did such a mind-blowing job that this movie just sparked to life because of all the great effort! Such a phenomenal movie!
such a great shooting anf directing amazing music unbelivable emotion and absolutely incredible actors who actually understands and love their character
i. love. this. movie. hands down so emotionally real. its a tough story but that's what it is. They are all so talented..and I am so glad I watched this video to see the behind the scenes. a second watching.. probably going to happen!!
yea, same for me, as soon as a sad part hits and it makes you cry and you think, okay its good now, then right around the next corner, you're in tears again lol.
Anne Hathaway is amazing in this movie as Fantine, her story was one of the most heartbreaking parts of the movie. And as for Hugh Jackman, I've loved his singing voice ever since I heard him sing oh what a beautiful morning in the musical Oklahoma. I remember thinking before they even announced the movie & the casting for it that if they ever made a movie of the musical he should be Valjean, he was born to play that role.
I just saw it today... It was amazing, so touching it really made me cry at some parts, acting through music is so beautiful! It needs to be appreciated more!
Samantha Barks isn't given enough credit in this movie, in my opinion she is the best in the movie, yet just because she wasn't famous before hand, she is just taken for granted and no one knows her unbelievable talent
#proudsprout!
she is my idol and I know what you mean... but I think you mis read... what I meant was everyone else in the movie was given so much credit, with Oscars and interviews and posters and things... but sam was one of the bigger roles yet she didn't have any posters or major interviews, purely because she wasn't famous in the movie world before hand. In my opinion tshe should of been recognised a lot more because people are missing out on her amazing talent. :)
:) thanks ahaaa... she is so good and not enough people recognise her because of more well known actors like hugh and anne ... but her time is coming :) #christmascandle :D
Nicole Whinnett I agree with you and also think Aaron Tveit did not get nearly enough credit, his vocals are AMAZING, and not to mention he's extremely attractive ;)
Haha i agree! :D Aaron and Sam should of had so much more than they did! :) Is it just me that ships them? ;) x
Nicole Whinnett i agree with you so much! on my own is the highlight of this movie!!! :D
The girl who played young Cosette is absolutely beautiful! And such a sweet and lovely singing voice
She plays sophie in mama Mia too
@@alexklairetaylor9917 she also plays Karen Smith in Mean Girls
Isabelle Allen
@@alexklairetaylor9917 that's older cosette
This movie never gets old for me.
Yani SAMEEEE
Just like most of the characters
Same here
I really wish Enjolras and the students would get mentioned in things like this. I'm more interested with their characters and the barricade then the protagonists and the prostitutes
+Jazz Bugg There is a whole different video for the barricade.
Aaron Galloway Is there?!
Jazz Bugg I think so. I remember watching it, it's not a long video but there is one.
I agree, I am playing a student in my schools production, and I think the bond between their characters is very important. It should get more attention!
sameeeeeee
Seriously this movie is so beautiful!, I just hate when people start talking crap about it because every actor makes a great job on their role and make the story come to life ♥

I get chills at Anne's "hell I'm living" 😍
Anne says she can't sing I Dreamed A Dream in a pretty version, but I thought she sang it beautifully.
Vlad Sicoe Because it had devestating emotion and heart in it.
+Piwork69 "Devastating" is right! I have never seen such a powerfully-delivered, emotional song performance in any movie before that I can remember! It seemed SO real; how you might expect a poor woman in her situation to "sing" a soliloquy about the real hell her life had become.
Mywork777 Yes, I understand that. But still, in spite of that, that she had to cry while singing, I think she did an awesome job.
YES!!!!!!
I cannot listen to her version without sobbing. Even without watching her in the scenes you can here it in her voice. It's an incredibly powerful version.

One of the best Films ever, greate work. Nice to see the Film after i had directed the musical 3 times in Germany.
Bitonic for real?!
This movie was SO amazing!!! Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, and Samantha Barks totally blew me away with their performances. Everyone was spectacular!
Made me want to cry! To see the passion that they put in this work of art is just overwhelming! You can see from the whole cast's expressions that they love what they are doing with this film and they want it to be perfect! Extraordinary really; proud to be a fan!
i dont see anything at all wrong with Russell Crowe. He fitted Javert perfectly...He had his own sort of style that he brought into the film
Totally agree, he is good for any character
Yeah, people are always saying how is voice isnt good. I think it’s beautiful and fits Javert perfectly
Nooo
@@jaspervanbeers7874 shut up
I mean if you like Javert with the personality of a wooden board than yeah he’s great
The problem with the trailer was that it painted Fauntine as the main character, which she isn't. She dies less than halfway through the first act. Yep...
+HermitVlogs I believe they use the song because it's relevant to the whole film, in different circumstances
well if you read the book...
Whilst watching this, I played "How Many Time Can I Find Aaron Tveit In The Shot."
maddilew15 exactly what I did
Me too
I was in a professional performance of Les miserables when I was aged 11 until I was 12. I'm 13 now, we performed it in Scotland. Most amazing experience I have ever, and will ever have
LUCKYYYYYY
I was crying once Hugh Jackman first started singing and I still am crying even though I got home from the theater 4 hours ago
I can't pick a favorite song. Every song speaks to my heart.
I know. I haven't cried that much in a movie since seeing Phantom of the Opera. Beautiful beyond words.
This film got my heart. I regret I couldn’t watch right after it was released. It took 12 years to do so. 💔 I love it. One of my favourite period films.
This film was everything I hoped for and more. It Deserves several Academy Awards
one of my favourite musicals!
When i went to see it i nearly cried a few times throughout the movie
such an amazing piece of art
And even with all of their best efforts, it is still incomparable to the stage show!
Watching the movie in Norway now. The musical always made me weep; and so does the movie. A very deep, moving show.
I saw this on stage in London, England and was mesmerized. Came back to Canada and sang the music in a stage performance. Of all the music I’ve done, this had the biggest impact on me. Didn’t expect to like the movie, but I loved it!
this moving was honestly, the most incredibly moving and touching experience i've ever had the honor to watch. never in my life has a movie made me just step back and realize, "wow, life is just too precious". it blew my mind in every sense of the word & i just can't thank the cast and crew enough for such a stunning movie.
& i think this is the deepest youtube post i've ever made considering i'm thirteen.
Yes
I was bawling at the end of this movie. No other movie made me cry at the end like this one...
This was one of the best movies I've ever seen, so beautiful
I cried and cried. Then I went back the next day and cried some more. Beautiful beautiful movie....Thank you for staying true the play.
A tribute to these wonderful, unsung real stars of a magnificent, visual & musical joy.
It's kind of sad that Javert (Russel Crowe) is not really talked about in the movie even though in my opinion he did great as being Javert
I think his version is really good, but compared to Philip Quast, there’s no comparison
Anyone who knows me, knows "speechless" is not my MO .. but after seeing this stunner, I am.
MANY applauses to the cast and director. Thank you for bringing real theater back to film!

DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING, SINGING THE SONGS OF ANGRY MEN
IT IS THE MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT NE SLAVES AGAIN
WHEN THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART ECHOES THE BEATING OF THE DRUMS
THERE IS A LIFE ABOUT TO START WHEN TOMORROW COMES
WILL YOU JOIN IN A CRUSADE
WHO WILL BE STRONG AND STAND WITH ME
even though this movie was long, and i chose to go at 9 when i was already exhausted, i still really loved the movie. It made me so emotional, and i would LOVE to watch it again.
I just got back from seeing the movie, and I have to say it was amazing! I have never cried so hard.
I will never ever forget the day that I went to go see Les Miserables in the theater, it was one of the most amazing and emotional days in my entire life.
This is my favourite musical movie of all time.
So happy they sung the sings live. So much more raw emotion. Fantastic movie
Watched over a dozen of times. Still get all teary.
the idea of singing this live and recording at the same time was absolutely brilliant I wish they would do more like this it's hard to describe the passion that these actors and actresses have this was so fantastically done
I think that just described almost everyone who went to watch it. I saw full-grown men tear at the end. It was beautiful.
I watched the movie twice, I cried twice.. Never cried when I saw it on stage (twice). I love Les Mis, it's one of the best best best musical ever. Thanks for posting this video.
I've seen Les Mis three times since it's been in theatres and I'm not done yet. It's the most beautifully tragic film I've ever seen.
I first heard this musical back in 1994 and it has been my favourite ever since. I truly cannot wait to see this film!
the acting was phenomenal, the cinemetography and make up was awesome and the singing was fantastic.
anne hathaway! you just left a huge gorgeous mark on musicals! Fantine will never will never be the same again! incredible !!
In movies, the acting is more important than the singing, even in musicals. These actors are able to become the characters, to really live out every emotion, and it's okay if it affects their singing, because it's a movie, and the acting is what is most in focus.

I've gone to this twice now, going a third time this week with my little sister (her first time!) Beautiful and transporting.
Throughout the whole movie I was shaking and I cries for the whole second half of the movie. It moved me and the movie changed me. I am a different person.
I've never been so affected by a film in my life. Just perfect, perfect, perfect.
Every second, every actor, every line, every scene, every song of this movie were PERFECT.
Russell is well trained in singing techniques. He is a passionate actor as can be seen in this performance and also in Master and Commander.
I love this masterpiece so much! I wasn't prepared to fall in love with this movie the way I have. I'm afraid of how many times I'm going to see this movie. Brava! Hollywood got it right!
I went into the film after experiencing a day on set. After seeing the musical. After performing the musical.
But it was if I was watching it for the first time. I can not fault a single scene and have watched it three times. Cried thoughout the film every time and I can't get enough of it. Bravo everyone involved. you excelled yourselves!
i don't cry for nothing. but at the end of this movie i bawled my eyes out.
If I have a budget to make a theme park, I would build a Les Misérables place there.
DO IT DO IT, DO IT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO IT!!!!
YES, DO IT, PLEASE!
yes one of those shooty gun ride things where you have to aim for the national guard soldier and you get a certain amount of points n a barricade rollercoaster lmao
I still get goose bumbs everytime any of them sing. Gah. That's how real this movie feels for me. They were fantastic. I can't wait till I own this film
I just watched it and I have to say it is one of the best movies I've ever seen, if not the best! I have been waiting for them to put this on the screen for 18 years, and I can't believe how great of a job they did! Bravo! They didn't only do Les MIserables justice, they built a whole new level for musicals in general.

+North Bridge You can see the playback in several parts of the movie. I don't think it was live
Having seen the film, my first comment was; "I can't wait to get the dvd" ! I just want to watch it over & over again. Magnificent.
Even if you have no idea what Les Mis is about, even if you don't like musicals, just see it. Trust me, words cannot describe how perfect this film is.
I didn't cry until the meaning of the final chorus reprise hit me like a ton of bricks. Absolutely brilliant. Javer could have reacted like Jean when forgiveness and mercy were extended to him but he didn't. Sad.
I'm up to 9 times. I never saw the Broadway show so it was all new to me. This movie takes away, it's amazing, it's like nothing I've ever experienced before. The cast is incredible, yes, even Russell Crowe.
In all honesty this has to be the most beautiful movie i have ever seen. True perfection.
I am obsessed with this movie I have been singing the songs in my head all day for like a week straight have the soundtrack on my iphone and listen to it from beginning to end and can picture the whole movie.
Amazing Movie! I saw it two weeks ago and i'm so addicted to the Music and to Aaron Tveit.
Wow. I love how they put it all together.
Make me cry everytime... Everytime
Same here, I've seen the movie 3 times and loved it so much every time, I can't express how this movie made me feel
I watched Les Miserables just two weeks ago at a movie theatre. Awesome movie! I like the fact that the actors themselves are singing; they're not just lip syncing to someone else's singing, like it is with most musical movies I've seen.

I cried when Jean Valjean died, I cried after the little boy died when that man was crying and holding him in his arms and I also cried when Eddie Redmayne absolutely aced his solo of 'Empty Chairs and Empty Tables'!! :)
I'm a straight 15 year old guy. I cried. It was amazing! First time ever I want to see a movie a second time while still in theaters.
It was one of the best films I've ever seen. Remarakable Masterpiece
I absolutely love the fact that they paid attention to everyone's teeth because we see so many movies portraying that particular era where the directors seem to have forgotten the fact that no one had pearly white teeth in the 18th century.

Such a phenomenal movie!
such a great shooting anf directing
amazing music
unbelivable emotion
and absolutely incredible actors who actually understands and love their character
This movie was amazing and now seeing that they had to sing live makes this movie even more amazing
What an excellent film. It makes me appreciate all that I have. We should value the society we have created.
I just can't get over this movie yet..still thinking about it..
im so glad they added the scene of little cosette and jean falling in love
I just have to get the blue ray of this amazing movie :D
My God! Kimi Hime. I can't believe I will found you here. And Look what has happened now :( I feel sorry for you
You can tell this was 10 years ago lol
I think I have watched this movie over 20 times now.
that's awesome that they wrote the song suddenly for hugh jackman to sing to cossette! that scene was so beautiful and it made me so happy:
i. love. this. movie. hands down so emotionally real. its a tough story but that's what it is. They are all so talented..and I am so glad I watched this video to see the behind the scenes. a second watching.. probably going to happen!!
yea, same for me, as soon as a sad part hits and it makes you cry and you think, okay its good now, then right around the next corner, you're in tears again lol.
Anne Hathaway is amazing in this movie as Fantine, her story was one of the most heartbreaking parts of the movie. And as for Hugh Jackman, I've loved his singing voice ever since I heard him sing oh what a beautiful morning in the musical Oklahoma. I remember thinking before they even announced the movie & the casting for it that if they ever made a movie of the musical he should be Valjean, he was born to play that role.
This is like my favourite film now it's sooo amazing i love all the actors and all the versions of these songs and incredible!
I started crying from when Fantine died and then kept crying throughout the whole movie. I cried so hard I got a nose bleed :P
SO EMOTIONAL!
I just saw it today... It was amazing, so touching it really made me cry at some parts, acting through music is so beautiful! It needs to be appreciated more!
