Javier Hinojosa Fun fact: In the book, Gavroche's father (the innkeeper) says "Equality? There's no such thing, even when you're dead!" I assume that's where the line comes from.
gogeta999994 He sacrificed himself for a cause he believed in, which is (in my opinion) very brave and takes courage. I'm just saying in his song he's like 'here's the thing about equality, everyones equal when there dead.' People TODAY still don't get that.
One of the great things the movie did was the advancement to this situation (Prison scene many years ago): "look down" was a thing they told themselves as they were being oppressed (middle scene as Javert was moving cities): "look down" turned into a plea to the upper class to see the situation that was happening (this scene): "Look down" is a COMMAND, they cant continue to ignore this situation, its not getting better and they demand answers.
I know, I love those parallels. Like the lines "I escape now from this world, from the world of Jean Valjean" said by both Valjean and Javert, at different points and in vastly different contexts
Yes and in the book he was even better, poor neglected always hungry dressed just in rags in winter had reason to be bitter evil and resentful however he was good always happy singing he didn’t doubt to give the few he could have for others in need, on contrary of the movie he didn’t stole and didn’t demanded a tip from Jean V on contrary JV had to push Gav to accept the money.
They give us 5 minutes before chorus to do whatever, and I pulled up Do You Hear The People Sing? on the smartboard and all the kids were like wtf is this and then my chorus teacher was like "oh youve never seen les mis before? So both of us sang along and turned the volume all the way up
I don't know if I like Enjolras so much because of his own passion and character or because my favourite is Grantaire and through his eyes, their leader shines.
When his voice grows all soft on "Here in the slums of St Michelle" just makes my heart melt. He's so poor, but he still has a love for his people and his land. Also the boy who plays him is 13 in this movie!!! Blows my mind
I think we have to look at the facts. This movie has English accents, Assassin's Creed Unity has English accents, I think we just have to accept that French people have English accents.
well take it that most brits speak french i am not surprised remember the british controlled much of france until they declared independence in the late 1500s
Director 1: The song of the beginning was awesome! Director 2: I know right! Director 1: ... Director 2: ... Director 1: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
@@feliciaariza27 Actually if you know the history of the show, this song was written first. In the earliest workshops in Paris in the early 80s, the show began with "At The End Of The Day", there was no prologue, Valjean's backstory about being in prison for stealing bread, being on parole, his experience with the Bishop, and him breaking parole to start his life over was slowly revealed over the course of the show. In fact it led to an interesting bait-and-switch (for anyone who never read the book) with Fantine appearing to be the main character until she dies and the focus shifts to Valjean). The prologue was added before 1985 when it opened in London. That's why this song is titled "Look Down" and the opening song is titled "Work Song" (and yes that also means that "Javert's Suicide" was written before "What Have I Done?")
Look down and see the beggars at your feet Look down and show some mercy if you can Look down and see the sweepings of the street Look down, look down, Upon your fellow man! GAVROCHE 'Ow do you do? My name's Gavroche These are my people, here's my patch. Not much to look at, nothing posh Nothing that you'd call up to scratch This is my school, my high society Here in the slums of Saint Michele We live on crumbs of humble piety Tough on the teeth, but what the hell! Think you're poor? Think you're free? Follow me! Follow me! BEGGARS Look down and show some mercy if you can Look down, look down, upon your fellow man! GAVROCHE There was a time we killed the King We tried to change the world too fast Now we have got another King He's no better than the last This is the land the fought for liberty Now when we fight, we fight for bread Here is the thing about equality Everyone's equal when they're dead Take your place! Take your chance! Vive la France! Vive la France! STUDENTS & BEGGARS Look down and show some mercy if you can Look down, look down, upon your fellow man!
i think everything was correct except for the one line. I'm pretty sure he was talking to the posh guy in the carriage and said "feed your poor, feed your free" and then refered back to the crowd when he said "follow me"
Gravroche is my favorite character in Les Mis by a mile. He was so clever and when he died he was collecting ammo for the rebellion has they didn't have much. True self sacrifice. He knew he would die but did it anyway. His death was honorable.
etalien73 I thought it was a can of mace at first, then I saw it was a book. (But seriously, where did it go? Did he drop it and act like nothing happened? Did he throw it into the crowd?)
dantam nguyenngoc Um...Marius wasn't rich in the book. He was dirt poor because he refused to take money from his grandfather and didn't work because he was too busy mooning over Cosette.
Warrior Girl I knew he wasn't rich. He was poor because he left his house and refused to take money from his grandfather. What I meant was that he was from a rich family, his grandpa was a grand bourgeoisie. He wasn't the kind of peasants or workers or...you know... who joined the revolution.
Intentional. Although the original Les Mis was performed ( on a much smaller scale ) in French, the writer and composer took their influence from Oliver. the musical. They even wrote the part of Gavroche with the Artful Dodger in mind. They saw him as the French Artful Dodger - hence the cockney accent.
Daniel Huttlestone will forever be the most awesome and precious Gavroche for me :D SO perfect! (Also, I haven't seen Into the Woods yet, but it made me really happy to realize he plays Jack in it hehe)
The movie as a whole has major issues, but I love this scene. Such a smooth introduction to Gavroche, Enjolras, Marius & the rest. Camera could have been a teeny tiny less shaky lol
"Look down", just like the prisoners in the opening song when they were pulling the ship. Being poor in a capitalistic world is very much like being a prisoner.
Hibye9988 Monarchy, in short, is just the tool by which the division between rich and poor was created, just like unfair capitalistic rules create a division between rich and poor. What you see here are just poor people begging for money/food and like anyone who's poor, they're prisoners of their society. They work for almost nothing, subsequently do the most labor, yet are still considered worthless.
Hibye9988 The whole point of the song, is that they expected things to get better when they removed the King. It didn't. Kill one rich oppressor and another rises to take their place.
vincentpol huh? escaping poverty in a capitalist society is definitely easier than most other systems since, in theory, it is free of a caste system preventing you from attaining wealth by learning a trade or saving money little by little to invest. Making the right alliances and a little luck can lift your house from poverty in a generation or two.
It saddened me that a child would give a weapon so easily to someone, knowing full well what they are meant to do. The fact a child has no hope in his enemies hits me harder than what I expected to hit. I'm not saying I don't respect his strenght of will, but you can't deny it's still a sad thing.
What really angers me in this song was that they switched the lines for Marius and Enjolras. In my production, Marius says “where are the leaders of the land” and Enjolras says “only one man Lamarque” or whatever but now it’s switched
+Corbin Burdette also in his death scene, when he hangs out of the window there is no blood on his shirt (and hair) - I can't believe that those "cinema sins" people didn't notice that.
Joanna Sosnowska i know im pretty late, but also in his death scene when he holds up the flag its in his right hand, and when he goes out the window its in his left
Well, he grew up with the Thenardiers as his parents, was always surrounded by thieves and other criminals, never experienced true love and was raised as a thief. I can kinda understand that he is pretty pissed.
Well they can't have French accents. If they did, non-French people wouldn't be able to tell the various classes apart. So in order to show they different classes they used British accents so that the general public, who generally know the different types of British accents, will be able to pick up on the difference in the classes, such as Cosset and Gavrosh (probably spelt that wrong).
Anyone else notice how someone screams when they sing "show some _mercy!_ if you can". Kind of a random thing but the movie is the only soundtrack that has this random voice in the back. I love how Gavroche has an english accent though. Not really the right accent but it's adorable. "But what thee 'ell"
The way they all say “it’ll come” like a desperate prayer got me the first time I heard it in my high school’s production, and it gets me 500 times later
There was this maybe 8 year old kid that played him at the high school production I saw last week and he did amazing, he was really cute but also didn't make any mistakes.
Fun fact! In the unholy brick of a novel, the only boys Gavroche ever hangs out with are a pair of fellow street kids he helps out and lets stay in the elephant for the night. Gavroche does not know thst they are his brothers, although he is aware that Eponine and Azelma are his sisters.
When I see this, I always remember Chateaubriand's recollection, soon after the Revolution, of watching a woman eating an actual human heart in the street. As I recall, he was in a carriage, too, when he saw that. It's the little things that keep me looking down.
I am would remiss if I failed to remind fans of Les Mis - the book was about far more important moral quagmires than the movie or Broadway production ever dared tackle
I know. I'm quite honestly astonished by how much the musical changed or completely left out important themes in the book. Not saying the musical is bad, but there are a lot of missed opportunities.
Ntoice how look down is sung by both beggars (AKA poor people) and the convicts. Because when the law is immoral, convicts and beggars are all too similar.
It's a tough read 😪 Bro Hugo I know what France looks like no need to describe it for half a dozen pages get to the story Same issue with Notre Dame de Paris
One of my favorite parts of the show -I prefer the stage version of this song tho since the intro to my favorite character is better in the stage version, and here she just looks sickly.
![Christmas Truce of World War I -- Joyeux Noel [2005 film]](/img/1.gif)
"Here is the thing about equality, everyone's equal when they're dead" .... you can´t deny how strong is that single line.
And how true.
"There was a time when we killed the king" You can't deny how that actually happened.
it is both metal and buddha
Javier Hinojosa Fun fact: In the book, Gavroche's father (the innkeeper) says "Equality? There's no such thing, even when you're dead!" I assume that's where the line comes from.
+Alanna R. - it reflects on the Theft of Soldier medals & uniform by the innkeeper
Gravoche is one of the smartest characters in this movie. He is certainly my favourite character.
gogeta999994 He sacrificed himself for a cause he believed in, which is (in my opinion) very brave and takes courage. I'm just saying in his song he's like 'here's the thing about equality, everyones equal when there dead.' People TODAY still don't get that.
gogeta999994 and we have every right to have that. So just out of curiosity, what character in this movie do you think is the smartest.
gogeta999994 I agree he's rather smart.
Hay Spenst The Bishop!
Drew1749 Yes!!! Definitely :)
One of the great things the movie did was the advancement to this situation
(Prison scene many years ago): "look down" was a thing they told themselves as they were being oppressed
(middle scene as Javert was moving cities): "look down" turned into a plea to the upper class to see the situation that was happening
(this scene): "Look down" is a COMMAND, they cant continue to ignore this situation, its not getting better and they demand answers.
When pesents demand answers, you know you got a problem on your hands, how dare people want "freedom, after all FREEDOM IS SLAVERY"
I know, I love those parallels.
Like the lines "I escape now from this world, from the world of Jean Valjean" said by both Valjean and Javert, at different points and in vastly different contexts
In the French original, the song is Donnez, Donnez. It is no plea for charity or for the ruling class's mercy. It is a demand for what they are due.
Unwritten rule: In all English-language productions, Gavroche must be played with a working-class British accent
And a story set in France, nigh everybody has an English accent.
It's more Cockney than working class. They're almost the same thing but Cockney is just more extreme
he's gotta have the dying victorian child vibe
Since the character of Gavroche was inspired by The Artful Dodger in Oliver - the accent seems fitting!
Basically the role should be played by a young Michael Caine
"Everyone's equal when there dead "
+Gamer Kat There, they're, their.
they're*
1000 miles THEY'RE
Evil, dead or poor, EVERYONE DRINKS TONIGHT
1000 miles that is by far the best quote I will ever hear
Gavche is one of the best characters in this movie. For one to be so young and be so involved with the rebellion is epic
Yes and in the book he was even better, poor neglected always hungry dressed just in rags in winter had reason to be bitter evil and resentful however he was good always happy singing he didn’t doubt to give the few he could have for others in need, on contrary of the movie he didn’t stole and didn’t demanded a tip from Jean V on contrary JV had to push Gav to accept the money.

There's some French sorcery at 2:16, just look at Enjolras' hand
Obviously he threw it off to the people.
xD i was all like wait where did that thing go it just disappeared!!!
gamer7916 lol
oh i cannot believe ive watched this 3 times and havent noticed
A magician never reveals his secrets
Unless you're his apprentice
that moment when you realized newt scamander was a revolutionary and wolverine was his father in law ... xD
and that bellatrix was a scheming french woman
also many other things that i find it better not to type down
I also realised that in both movies there's a love triangle involving Eddie Redmayne and the daughter (or stepdaughter) of a Lestrange.
And Newt’s wife is Karen Smith
E que Sophie era sua esposa
i get so excited when Enjolras appears every time
Gavroch is such a cutie. His actor did a wonderful job! I love his solo here, with the vocalizing going on in the background. Amazing.

Am I the only one that finds Gavroche's accent adorable
Omg, I'm so sorry for all Marius' friends... And Gavroche, of course... 😭😭😭 it's so sad.

Little Gavroche's Cockney accent is so funny! And he played the scene really well, congrats!
i'll be honest, i fast-forwarded it just so i could hear aaron tveit say "before we cut the fat ones down to size!" oohh that is just awesome

"Look down", just like the prisoners in the opening song when they were pulling the ship. Being poor in a capitalistic world is very much like being a prisoner.
This was a Monarchy correct? Bit confused
Hibye9988 Monarchy, in short, is just the tool by which the division between rich and poor was created, just like unfair capitalistic rules create a division between rich and poor.

The most british french kid ever.
Eddie Redmayne nailed this scene!
Gavroche is a great kid. One of my favorite characters. I literally cried to death when he died
I love listening to the kid sing. He sounds like he learned the entire fucking song phonetically.
Gavroche almost reminds me of a mini Enjrolas (sp?). Especially when the other kids are following him.
It saddened me that a child would give a weapon so easily to someone, knowing full well what they are meant to do. The fact a child has no hope in his enemies hits me harder than what I expected to hit.
I'm not saying I don't respect his strenght of will, but you can't deny it's still a sad thing.
It's sad when the Kid (Gavroche) possibly has the best acting, character development, and story than the entire cast itself.
Beg to differ. Eddie was SUPURB as well! I think its a tie
Gavroche and Hugh were awesome♥️
Samantha Barks was awesome as well! Also Aaron Tveit.
A lot of the actors were great. Too bad they weren't in a better movie
Let's not forget Samantha Barks, who was good she reprised her role in the 35th Anniversary concert edition
Gavroche is such a good character. There's so much more to him if you read the book. 😢
i like that kind of French sorcery that enjolras does

What really angers me in this song was that they switched the lines for Marius and Enjolras. In my production, Marius says “where are the leaders of the land” and Enjolras says “only one man Lamarque” or whatever but now it’s switched

"Everyone's equal when they're dead."
How many of us are going down in the history books?
Gravoche is like lil' Alexander Hamilton
When I see this, I always remember Chateaubriand's recollection, soon after the Revolution, of watching a woman eating an actual human heart in the street. As I recall, he was in a carriage, too, when he saw that. It's the little things that keep me looking down.
I think his accent so nice..
Poor little man this makes me sob to this day
I am would remiss if I failed to remind fans of Les Mis - the book was about far more important moral quagmires
than the movie or Broadway production ever dared tackle
I know. I'm quite honestly astonished by how much the musical changed or completely left out important themes in the book. Not saying the musical is bad, but there are a lot of missed opportunities.
Classmate: Takes out a packet of crisps
The entire class:
Ntoice how look down is sung by both beggars (AKA poor people) and the convicts. Because when the law is immoral, convicts and beggars are all too similar.
I'm in love with Les miserables. Hugo's book must be read and this film is great.
I agree, but the book is so hard to read
It's a tough read 😪
Bro Hugo I know what France looks like no need to describe it for half a dozen pages get to the story
Same issue with Notre Dame de Paris
LES MISERABLES: PLEASE IN THE NETHERLANDS AGAIN

One of my favorite parts of the show -I prefer the stage version of this song tho since the intro to my favorite character is better in the stage version, and here she just looks sickly.
Where is gravoche now? Would be cool to see an update.
Little Gavroche is so spectacular! Great part, great actor.
i think he is a Super kid :)), i lilke Gravoche when i see him say a true about Javert, look outside a KID but inside actually a BRAVE MAN
Love the addition of "Master of the House" in the music.
