I have never noticed the look Fantine gives Cosette at 2:00. A mother looking proudly at her daughter she practically gave her life for. This song get's me every time...
Especially because the friggin way they framed it, their looks to each other are the thread from that priests kindness all the way to Cossettes life. It breaks my heart every time.
I’ve never been much of a crier but I cried when Nat and Tony died. It really depends on your preference I was never really into musicals. But I do like this segment
I cannot watch this scene without tearing up. There is a universal appeal to this scene, to the whole movie. 2 of the most human emotions are love and the desire for freedom. This movie, from beginning to end, summarizes both love for others and the desire for the desire for freedom.
"To love another person is to see the face of God." That line gets me every time. It perfectly sums up what both spirituality and humans' capacities to love each other should be. Victor Hugo was an absolute genius.
I watch this clip whenever I wanna feel something. there hasn't been a time where I haven't cried to this. always sobbing when fantine and the bishop give those sympathetic look to jv..and always chills when we get that final barricade shot. that final shot feels so universal. oppression is such a universal element of the human condition which is why LM has been able to strike a chord with so many. as long as there are martyrs to pay homage to, the spirit of revolution will never die in vain.
When life rips my emotions to threads, I'll use this movie to let it all out and have a good cleansing cry. Since 2012 I've seen it at least 10-15 times. I needed this scene today. Valjean's death hits me the hardest. Well done Hugh.
literally went two years without watching this musical and went straight to tears upon seeing this masterpiece of a song again, such great acting. the words "to love another person is to see the face of God" hit me hard
I think it works better with it being the Bishop there at the end rather than Eponine; he set Valjean on the right path after all, whilst Valjean barely knows who Eponine is.
It brings the story full circle. The Bishop is the one who ‘bought his soul for god’ and urged him to become a better man. It’s fitting that as Valjean ascends to heaven he’s greeted by the man who set him on the path to redemption.
despite the sins jean valjean has commited earlier he has indeed redeemed himself and earned his place in heaven. Just hope one day when i die i get to see my loved ones in the afterlife the ending to les miserable is a great example
No one earns their place in heaven. It is a free gift offered to everyone by God. There's nothing anyone can do to earn God's mercy, Jesus already did all the work 2,000 years ago. All we have to do is accept it
The story of Jean Valjean is precisely the story of a man who committed no sin. In his young age, poor, unemployed, starving, he stole one bread, and for this reason he was sent to a penal colony for decades. Les Misérables is a story about injustice, not sin. And at the end, Valjean can die not because he has found redemption, but because through Cosette, he has succeeded in doing justice to the most vulnerable victim of all the book : Fantine. And he understands that this was the meaning of his life.
@@connorburnett21 For some reason I don't think she was supposed to be noticed. Had the cameraman dropped his camera just a hair lower I, doubt anyone would have noticed, at all.
From the second half of the theatre production, my face was wet with tears - when I went to see it, I was glad it was dark in there. Even listening to this ending right now always always always provokes the tears.
"Take my hand, I'll lead you to SALVATION. Take my love, for love is EVERLASTING. And remember the TRUTH that once was spoken: To LOVE another person is to see the face of GOD." good lord... 🥺🥺🥺 Gets me every time.
French Version: Jean Valjean: I no longer depart alone. I am happy To see your smile again, Now I at last may die. Cosette: You will live, Papa, you're going to live I want you to live, Listen to me! Valjean: Yes Cosette, You forbid me to die I will try to obey. On this page, I write my soul's confession And the secrets that you would want to know. It's the story, of a man who loved you so, He confided in you his life Before he disappeared. Fantine: Come with me, Where chains will never bind you. Let me guide you Towards supreme happiness. Lord in Heaven, look down on him in mercy. Valjean: Forgive me all my trespasses And take me to your kingdom. Fantine & Eponine: Take my hand, And come into his glory. Take the love, Which shines when life is fading. Fantine, Eponine, & Valjean: And remember, the truths within your prayer To love another person Is to be near God on Earth. Company: For the will of the people, None can extinguish our voice, And so the song will ring out forever, As it had so long before, We wish that our light will Penetrate the mask of night, To illuminate our land And to change our lives. The glorious day will come. When on its way to the ideal, Mankind will progress from evil to good And from falsehoods to truth. A dream may yet die, But hope lives on forever! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong for humanity? For every fallen barricade, one hundred more will soon arise, For the will of the people, We hear the sound of distant drums, Announcing the future that they bring when tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong for humanity? For every fallen barricade, one hundred more will soon arise, For the will of the people, We hear the sound of distant drums, Announcing the future that they bring when tomorrow comes! Ah!

Now you are here Again beside me Now I can die in peace For now my life is blessed You will live Papa, you're going to live It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye! Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die I'll obey I will try On this page I write my last confession Read it well When I, at last, am sleeping It's the story Of one who turned from hating The man who only learned to love When you were in his keeping Come with me Where chains will never bind you All your grief At last, at last behind you Lord in Heaven Look down on him in mercy Forgive me all my trespasses And take me to your glory Take my hand I'll lead you to salvation Take my love For love is everlasting And remember The truth that once was spoken To love another person Is to see the face of God Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise They will live again in freedom In the garden of the Lord We will walk behind the ploughshare We will put away the sword The chain will be broken And all men will have their reward Will you join in our crusade?

Take my hand I'll lead you to salvation Take my love For love is everlasting And remember And remember the truth that once was spoken To love another person is to see the face of God.
No matter if it's the movie or live on stage. This scene makes me cry so hard, it makes Niagra Falls jealous of the number of tears I produce it's not even funny.
I saw this live onstage in London many years ago. When Jean Valjean sang "On this page I write my last confession . . ." you could hear people all over this huge theater start sniffling. I've never forgotten that experience.
This and EMPTY CHAIRS always get to me more than any song in theater ever did... well except perhaps the last scene from Miss Saigon... why do they always have to end that way 😅😅😅
“To love another person is to see the face of God.” - Most truly and wise spoken words ❤. Edit: roses are red, violets are blue, liking my own comment because no one wants to (T-T)
*They’re basically Laura and Logan from another universe. **1:12** ”It’s the story, of one who turned from hating. A man who only learned to love, when you were in his keeping.” (Hits hard, when you see the similar circumstances)*
It's been years since I have seen the whole play. Refresh my memory. So, at this point in the story am I to understand that the priest (Wilkinson) whom Valjean originally stole the candlesticks from, has already died too? Just like Cosette's mother who has been dead for ab't 18 yrs.
I just watched this scene back to back 5 times. Honestly, the last 4 times just to test myself to see if I could stop myself from crying. Failed. Each. Time.
We watched movie in 10th grade and after his death, I made a joke saying "And then he was reborn as Logan" Since Logan was born around this time iirc, at least in the X-men movie universe.
Yes, yes - in the musical production instead of ‘ it’s the story of a man from hating….’ he sings ‘ It’s a story of one who always loved you - your mother gave her life for you and gave you to my keeping.’ And then you see Cossette and Marius reading the silently the letter together, after she stops crying
At 2:08 when Marius puts Cosette on his lap I BALL. He loves her so much and she’s hurting so much. He doesn’t know what to do so he just hugs her
I have never noticed the look Fantine gives Cosette at 2:00. A mother looking proudly at her daughter she practically gave her life for. This song get's me every time...
It makes me cry especially when I watch it at the West End musical 😢. Cosette is the photo if Les Mis
All I notice is they kept Fantine's short cropped look because she sold her hair, but her teeth are magically regrown.
They only took out two teeth.
@@mariselagutierrez739 Front teeth and they are still there.
In my mind Fantine and Jean are parents.😥
Anyone else sobbing? I lost it when I saw the bishop
“To love another person is to see the face of God”
Amazing.
Colm Wilkinson played Valjean in the 10th anniversary. Here, he's the bishop. The old Valjean begets the new Valjean, which is a nice touch.
@@mikeor- Wilkinson originated the role of Val Jean.
Especially because the friggin way they framed it, their looks to each other are the thread from that priests kindness all the way to Cossettes life. It breaks my heart every time.
Keep in mind that in this scene, the Bishop is the Personification of God just as Fantine is Valjean's personal angel of death.
The theory that marius can hear the ghosts singing because theyre all his friends makes me cry
And Cosette can presumably hear her parents
You arent human if you don't cry when Valjean says, "A man who only learned to love, when you were in his keeping"
For me, it’s when he says “On this page, I write my last confession.” That line seals the deal.
I cry all the way through it...
Nah. I like the original lyrics better and I am very much a human.
I’ve never been much of a crier but I cried when Nat and Tony died. It really depends on your preference I was never really into musicals. But I do like this segment
I don’t believe Cosette has betrayed her own father and give her the Latter
I cannot watch this scene without tearing up. There is a universal appeal to this scene, to the whole movie. 2 of the most human emotions are love and the desire for freedom. This movie, from beginning to end, summarizes both love for others and the desire for the desire for freedom.
same here dude
No offence, i love the film but prefer the musical ❤
It also summarizes our need for God, now and in Eternity🙏🏻🕊️😊
The bishop set him on the road to redemption by showing him that one act of kindness. Completely changed his life.
My favourite chapter in the book, and I am not much of a religious person.
"To love another person is to see the face of God."
That line gets me every time. It perfectly sums up what both spirituality and humans' capacities to love each other should be. Victor Hugo was an absolute genius.
French History was the real genius. Hugo just happened to transcribe it into words.
@@thibaudduhamel2581 True, but what words! He was a brilliant writer.
"Forgive me all my trespasses and take me to Your Glory."
Let those be my final words too.
That’s very based, fRo0tLo0p
I completely lost it when Fantine looked at how Cosette grew up and smiled down on her.
Amazing how many top actors have wonderful voices. Anne Hathaway is the best example. She surprised everyone with her talent for singing.
I guess you never saw "Ella Enchanted" then
I watch this clip whenever I wanna feel something. there hasn't been a time where I haven't cried to this. always sobbing when fantine and the bishop give those sympathetic look to jv..and always chills when we get that final barricade shot. that final shot feels so universal. oppression is such a universal element of the human condition which is why LM has been able to strike a chord with so many. as long as there are martyrs to pay homage to, the spirit of revolution will never die in vain.
This was always the most emotional scene to me, when all of the characters, living and dead, are depicted at the barricade! Vive le France! 🇫🇷💗
✊🏾✊🏾
@highground3609it is supposed to be heaven yeah but it’s the barricade as it kinda represents what they lived/died for
Its not really France, it's the Heaven...
all the characters are dead in that scene.
@@jmontenegro1124 They all remain strong even in death.
When life rips my emotions to threads, I'll use this movie to let it all out and have a good cleansing cry.
Since 2012 I've seen it at least 10-15 times.
I needed this scene today. Valjean's death hits me the hardest. Well done Hugh.
I cry almost every time I hear this. It's so beautifully bittersweet.
literally went two years without watching this musical and went straight to tears upon seeing this masterpiece of a song again, such great acting. the words "to love another person is to see the face of God" hit me hard
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise!"

I think it works better with it being the Bishop there at the end rather than Eponine; he set Valjean on the right path after all, whilst Valjean barely knows who Eponine is.
You are right, but the harmony on "to salvation" is beautiful, so...
I interpret this as Fantine (not Eponine) being Valjean's personal angel of death and the bishop being the Personification of God.
It brings the story full circle. The Bishop is the one who ‘bought his soul for god’ and urged him to become a better man. It’s fitting that as Valjean ascends to heaven he’s greeted by the man who set him on the path to redemption.
When Cosette realized he passed…. I lose it every time….
first off, i can not believe this movie is 10 years old. this scene gets me every time
14 years old now, I regret never going to see it in cinemas, it is a masterpiece that set the road for Wicked
despite the sins jean valjean has commited earlier he has indeed redeemed himself and earned his place in heaven. Just hope one day when i die i get to see my loved ones in the afterlife the ending to les miserable is a great example
Redemption exists. 🥺
Same I’d love for that to happen when I pass I want to see all of my loved ones
No one earns their place in heaven. It is a free gift offered to everyone by God. There's nothing anyone can do to earn God's mercy, Jesus already did all the work 2,000 years ago. All we have to do is accept it

Sameee I’ve never noticed it omg

Bawled my eyes out like a baby. So beautiful!
I went to see this with my mum. This scene only time I saw her cry. Just lost her. Come here to say I love you mum
From the second half of the theatre production, my face was wet with tears - when I went to see it, I was glad it was dark in there.

Never have I ever seen such an amazing filim.the best ever Credit to all that was in the film. Best ever. Xx
In 1992, our youngest son was married, and after we had tickets for Les Mis. in London.
What a treat. It was amazing. I will always remember.
Anne Hathaway’s voice is perfect for the role of a mother.
"Take my hand, I'll lead you to SALVATION.
Take my love, for love is EVERLASTING.

Jean Valjean:

To see your smile again,
Now I at last may die.

Listen to me!

You forbid me to die

And the secrets that you would want to know.

He confided in you his life
Before he disappeared.
Fantine:
Come with me,
Where chains will never bind you.
Let me guide you
Towards supreme happiness.
Lord in Heaven, look down on him in mercy.
Valjean:
Forgive me all my trespasses
And take me to your kingdom.
Fantine & Eponine:
Take my hand,
And come into his glory.
Take the love,
Which shines when life is fading.
Fantine, Eponine, & Valjean:
And remember, the truths within your prayer
To love another person
Is to be near God on Earth.
Company:
For the will of the people,
None can extinguish our voice,
And so the song will ring out forever,

Mankind will progress from evil to good

My god! I didn't realise you can see Anne Hathaway slinking away behind Cosette after she sings her last bit!! You can't un see it!
No matter if it's the movie or live on stage. This scene makes me cry so hard, it makes Niagra Falls jealous of the number of tears I produce it's not even funny.
i played cosette in les mis and this was my favorite scene. I’m sobbing
In what country please??? This scene makes me cry so much.
1:29 i can't stop crying when fantine starts singing
I saw this live onstage in London many years ago. When Jean Valjean sang "On this page I write my last confession . . ." you could hear people all over this huge theater start sniffling. I've never forgotten that experience.
I think that this particular song is sorely underestimated. We all need perhaps someone with us! I wouldn't mind having a go at it!
That song made me cry
The Bishop actor has portrayed Valjean on stage.
This and EMPTY CHAIRS always get to me more than any song in theater ever did... well except perhaps the last scene from Miss Saigon... why do they always have to end that way 😅😅😅
0:26-0:30 Me to my phone when it’s on 1% and I can’t find the charger.
今晩は、レ・ミゼラブルの曲はこの暗い時代にあって常に勇気をくれる曲だと思っています。
Feeling so proud at the end of being french without being french🥲❤️
One of the best movies ever!
I played this on my way to work and cried so much. I imagined my girlfriend losing her dad and didn’t know how to handle myself
This movie is so freaking Amazing with a Amazing Cast and Beautifully Amazing Songs.
Saw this twice in theaters cried at this part both times
The most beautiful movie in the world. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Imagine all people who died in revolution are singing and celebrating in afterlife because they knew that the revolution was succesed
so emotional it would bring a tear to a glass eye
I can’t stop crying when watching this movie, especially with this scene.

I hope this can be the worlds anthem as the powers that be continue to try to force us into this brave new world.
This never gets old ❤
Come with me where chains will never bind you.
This still gives me chills! Heavenly
A beautiful finale.
It's been years since I have seen the whole play. Refresh my memory.
So, at this point in the story am I to understand that the priest (Wilkinson) whom Valjean originally stole the candlesticks from, has already died too? Just like Cosette's mother who has been dead for ab't 18 yrs.
Yes he was old and died years before Valjean got old and died
Heartbreaking and beautiful.
I just watched this scene back to back 5 times. Honestly, the last 4 times just to test myself to see if I could stop myself from crying. Failed. Each. Time.
I saw the movie . Hugh Jackman took me surprised with his performance .
The whole musical sends shivers through me and I have to stop myself from weeping.
She has INCREDIBLE natural vibrato.😮
Totally touched me 😢😢😢
Those eyes of Cosette becomes pure evil her father did not died
She hurt him and break his heart 💔💔
😭🖤
Hathaway deserved that Oscar.
Anne Hathaway really shines in this scene. ⭐
Shining angel. ⭐
They're all good though. ☺️☺️☺️
I only started crying when she did 😭
I lost it when Fantine showed up 😭😭😭
Same here 🥹✋. It was so unexpected for me and so powerful. It moved me to many tears.
Why am I literally bawling?
it was Cosette she did betrayed herself that’s because Valjean did say A man who only learned to love when you were in his keeping
Valjean has handed the latter to Cosette that means she betrayed her own father
Hugh played a really good role as Valijean
this is so good but no one gonna talk about the 4 dead bodies at the barricade 🤣
The actual Victor Hugo book is far more a dismal read ( hours in the sewers of Paris, seriously HOURS, ) but a stunning musical.
After this I thought: What tommorow?
THERE WAS NO TOMMOROW.
Colm Wilkinson was the Bishop - the first Valjean was there.
based off this Im so fucking glad I just read the wikipedia plot summary. The wikipedia plot summary was sick.
We watched movie in 10th grade and after his death, I made a joke saying "And then he was reborn as Logan"
Since Logan was born around this time iirc, at least in the X-men movie universe.
2:06 where did Fantine go? 😮
Fade from a glowering, hateful Trump and Vance to a smiling Harris and Walz, and you've got a great and timely update of this video.
Did cosette learn of all that fantine did out of love for her?
I’m sure she knew her mother loved her
Yes, yes - in the musical production instead of ‘ it’s the story of a man from hating….’ he sings ‘ It’s a story of one who always loved you - your mother gave her life for you and gave you to my keeping.’ And then you see Cossette and Marius reading the silently the letter together, after she stops crying
Filme maravilhoso ❤
Love how they should eponine and enjolras there Sam and Aaron rock
We were watching it at school, i was the only one that cried and everyone made Fun of me😢
You’re just more mature than them. 😊 You’re mature enough to appreciate beautiful art and be affected by it, whereas, they’re not.
Porque ninguém está falando sobre como hugh fez uma imitação perfeita de um velho cansado
