@@rebeccagavlik7199 She is easily the best Fantine in the English version of Les Mis. However, I feel like Louise Pitre, who performed in the original version in 1980 and the Paris Revival of 1991, did better.

Agreed but the actors were good too, Amanda Seyfried was faultless and Eddie Redmayne did a great job too. I have no complaints about Jackman and Hathaway because their acting was great which was necessary with their parts, a good balance.
I watch movie musicals knowing I'm not going to get the theatrical experience... the darkness.. the sound waves hitting you.. the tenseness on love performance... but the actors did their part, were cast in their roles, and did well enough (though Crowe pushes me to the edge of ehh...)... to your point... Absolutely. Serious theatrical musical talent just punches through on the screen. Hugh comes from theater but his voice typically doesn't overwhelm me... he did well enough here... me growing up with Colm at the helm. If you watch the actual 85th Academy performance you can tell Samantha WAS Eponine on the stage and Aaron's entrance is so subtly dramatic and powerful... I love hearing vocal from actors who might surprise ja... but there is nothing like a theatrical voice that carries weight even in the quietest whisper sung. Cheers.
Russell Crowe trying to keep time is so funny, especially when he's literally looking at the conductor trying to slow him down but I get the stress lmao
I have a soft spot for Russell in this movie. He must’ve been so nervous singing with such well trained singers and yet he put in as much effort as he possible could have and was lovely and confident despite the criticism he received.
I love how everyone looks so casual, like they have coffee and tea, they're taking pictures, taking videos, and then there's Russel Crowe and he just looks like he is trying so hard. It's so funny.
Brenden Samsel i always thought he seemed to be in character here while everyone else is so chill and carefree. Sasha filming in the background always kills me 😂
Yeah the conductor had to really thump hard for him to stay on the beat. To be fair, though, this song seems confusing as fuck to sing and he has no one/nothing else to lean on for his part haha (not sure if that makes any sense)
...merely the way he positions himself before the whole crew, as if was going to see what results they (not him) have yielded from the rehearsals :D :D :)
Absolutely! Everytime I watch this video (and I have watched it very often), I kind of wait for that situation. I'm so impressed of his "coolness". He stays so calm - switching off his phone so slowely, puttin it in his pocket so calm - as though he had all time of the world. And than, he is completely in his character a glimpse of a second later. That's what I call being professional and cool!
@@aairosatherys3636 Only if you give the stolen time back. You can steal time within a phrase but you can't get ahead of the next 'block' so to speak. Finishing a verse one or two phrases early is just confusing to listen to.
To this day, when I hear Anne Hathaway sing I dreamed a dream, i CRY at the “i had a dream my life would be, so different from this hell I’m living” - her emotions in the song 😭😭 and THIS ROOM OF ACTORS IS JUST AMAZING!!!
At least I’m not the only one who got this as a random recommendation today. You can really tell the differences is singing ability levels in this. LOL
1. That selfie 1a. Aaron actually posted that selfie on Instagram and hashtagged #aaronjolras 2. For some reasons I've always thought Samantha is tiny but look at her towering over Amanda 3. Aaron recording 4. Aaron stopping the recording and snapping into Enjolras 5. "Will you take your place with meeeeeeeeeeee"
that so many famous people in one room, that first panoramic shot is so funny. you got russel crowe chilling, helena bonham carter and sacha baron cohen reviewing the paper they had, anne hathaway and hugh jackman chatting with a coffee, aaron, eddie and samantha barks taking a selfie, amanda is taking a picture of someone... imagine delivering a pizza to them and they open the door and all these iconic people are shoved in that tiny room
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how powerful and amazing Samantha Banks voice is!! Her character might not get the man but she don't need no man with that voice
Samantha is a professional opera singer. That is why. She was in the 25th anniversary of les miserable. Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe are awful at singing.
@@coffeeandhorses7991 From what I know, Samantha is a Broadway singer. That's different from an opera singer 😅 All of them (with the exception of Crowe) have been trained. Seyfried was a trained classical singer since teen but quit because she wanted to focus on acting so she's rusty. Helena has also train and had been on several musicals. Anne has great vocal techniques and trained with vocal coaches altho not as often. Hugh is also classically trained and have been on Broadway. Eddie came from a stage school where he took up acting and singing, making him the least experienced singer. Lastly, Aaron used to be a classically trained singer before he was an actor. Edit: Not hating on you btw, I'm just explaining. Crowe shouldn't be hated on for his singing because he was not trained in classical/broadway/opera. Hugh Jackman, while he was more into acting here than singing it, but if you look into his other musicals, he is in fact, great there. 😊
You can’t compare a trained professional broadway singer to a film actor singing. A world of difference. Give people props for doing the best they can because you’re doing the apples/ oranges thing!
amanda and samanthas voices contrast so well. amanda has such a soft voice and samanthas is so powerful. so much talent in one room! and Helena never fails to make me laugh
Guess what I’m with you sis but just get good. I’m doing that. You will never regret learning to silence a room with a beautiful melody your own body is making.
I m pritty sure that Hugh would "drown" first if ask to sing "stars", but on the other hand he is the best actor since now playing Valjean ; ( Liam also played well but it was a different script wich i did not like so much) About Fantine i had a different vision: when she is lying in the bed sick and dishonored, she should picture herself ( in her mind, like she imaging seeing Cosette when she's dying), young and healthy, singing "i dreamed a dream" ( powerfully, as it should)
I love how Aaaron just casually playing with his phone and then suddenly when it’s his part he storms through like he’s been listening from the beginning
But what if, Anne Hathaway plays Max Caulfield in Life is Strange and she sings: I dreamed a dream in times gone by When hope was high and life worth living Now I have to choose to let Chloe die To save Arcadia Bay, bye Then the masterpiece becomes even better than Les Miserables
Poor Russell crowe, a film like this can't be easy to do when you aren't musically trained, people say he's a mess in this video but I respect the guy for trying!
He was in a band and definitely had some musical training, which imo made it more difficult for him because the music he’s used to performing is just so different from musical numbers. It’s much easier to train from ground up if you’re a blank sheet but harder to change your singing style and habits built throughout the years. Which is why Nick Jonas, despite being a super successful singer, was by far the worst part in les mis 25th anniversary
I remember hearing something like Russell Crowe wasn’t really a trained singer when he became part of Les Mis and it just warmed my heart to see him practicing with these others. Everyone else is kind of effortlessly doing their parts and then it gets to his and he is obviously focusing so hard, trying to stay on time (for what is admittedly a pretty tricky sounding part if you ask me! But I’m an amateur so take that with a grain of salt). I think I just find it so heartwarming because I know what it’s like to feel like I’m surrounded by people who are better trained at something than me, and it felt like a moment of identification - like he’s a real human too. ❤️ And I’ve been in musical theatre or choir rehearsals where there’s just that one person who is having a heckuva time with their part - sometimes me, sometimes someone else. I see you Russell!!
@@mckenzietrudgeon9288 that's so cool! I didn't know that when I wrote that. Totally different styles, especially without training! And it almost warms my heart even more to see him in this video. :) I really liked him as Javert.
Normally I’d agree but my love for this musical and its beautiful legacy is far greater than my desire to root for Russell Crowe’s underdog story. I’m still upset that he took this role from so many incredibly talented actors who could have brought this character and voice to life far better than him, etching their own moving vocal rendition into movie musical canon. But it’s too late. This was it. Don’t get me wrong, his dramatic acting was on point but when he opens his mouth to sing his voice is thick and untrained. Now there is no other chance for another cinematic version of this story. No future performance or cast. That version of “Stars” will be the only version to live in movie history and it breaks my heart.
Nah, Russel Crowe has been in multiple professional musical theater productions in Australia before he hit it big in Hollywood. He was singing in those, so he definitely has experience and training. He also sung in a rock band. Amanda is the only with no professional musical theater (or even high school theater) experience and it shows. She only did 2 years of private classical training as a teen.
hearing samantha so clear and loud when they all sing their own parts at the same time made me so happy lol eponines one day more part always stuck out and I was glad I could hear it
Absolutely! Beautiful both on stage AND screen! You may know (?) she portrayed Eponine in the stage version as well. Shows great emotion, amazing voice too.
The fact that Samantha was told to tone it down in this movie hurts me inside. She’s so good, and by far the best voice here. I recommend watching the Les Mis 25th Anniversary Concert, she sounds phenomenal there, and the rest of the cast is much better than the movies cast (IMO)
I like how at 2:21 Aaron just calmly switches off his phone and joins in as if he's been doing this for every day of his life 😁. Also, what wouldn't i give to be in that room! Chills, literal chills!
Feels great to not be a musical snob and actually enjoy the film and the songs. Everyone’s complaining and I’m coming back to this video every couple months cuz I think it’s amazing

Aaron and Samantha are proof that you seriously need theatre actors in movie musicals. Like their voices were AMAZING in that
Cannot disagree with that
Agreed but the actors were good too, Amanda Seyfried was faultless and Eddie Redmayne did a great job too.
I have no complaints about Jackman and Hathaway because their acting was great which was necessary with their parts, a good balance.

Yes he didn’t deserve any of the hate he got. He was so perfect, plus his voice is amazing.
Are the others all well trained singers ? I had no clue - was shocked at how well Amanda Seyfred and Anne Hathaway sang

Samantha Barks rocks the entire room. She's superb.
Also has great lighting, too.

Most likely was hot tea to soothe her vocal cords actually, we used to drink before a choir show.

hearing samantha so clear and loud when they all sing their own parts at the same time made me so happy lol eponines one day more part always stuck out and I was glad I could hear it
It is immediately obvious which actor actually works on Broadway regularly!
Ugh Samantha Barks is too good ❤ love her so much
Absolutely! Beautiful both on stage AND screen! You may know (?) she portrayed Eponine in the stage version as well. Shows great emotion, amazing voice too.
Totally agree! She was the only one, who could act AND sing!
I thought TH-cam was recommending me this because I’ve been watching the movie but then I see that all the comments are from hours ago lol
Olivia R sane here idk why
Yeah why am i here
With all due respect, but Samantha Barks is one class above everyone else.
Also Aaron Tveits there
Na hugh and anne r just as good too.
Sure, but they' also top actors..
Eddie and Samantha were so underrated in this movie. i think they gave the best preformnces (and best singing) out of the whole cast
Best performance and singing goes to Anne Hathaway no one else.
Willy Belly she was also great! But she was only in it for like 25 min
The guy in the end says good… IT IS AMAZING!!! just imagine being there with all of these soooo talented people 😢
Haha yeah. That's Cameron Macintosh the producer
I lost it when Anne Hathaway sang. Gives me chills. Makes me cry.
The fact that Samantha was told to tone it down in this movie hurts me inside. She’s so good, and by far the best voice here. I recommend watching the Les Mis 25th Anniversary Concert, she sounds phenomenal there, and the rest of the cast is much better than the movies cast (IMO)
All those amazing vocals and then Nick Jonas
@@lucrawr69 Had great emotions during empty chairs but does not have the lung power for Broadway imho. But he is also a tiny dude.
Amanda Seyfried singing so beautifully, with a mug in hand and the other in her pocket. Too adorable.
Who’s here enjoying this in 2022??!! Me! Love all of these characters and actors!!
Me.
Hallo😚
Me and it's always a pleasure to see them all.
My favourite movie, love them all. How cute is HBC!
We all want to know why it was recommended today but we all here watching it anyway 💀💀
I like how at 2:21 Aaron just calmly switches off his phone and joins in as if he's been doing this for every day of his life 😁.
Also, what wouldn't i give to be in that room! Chills, literal chills!
Love it! Edoras (how ever you spell it) was one of my favourites in the film
@@annashaw6538 *enjolras :)
Everybody right now: ...
TH-cam algorithm: You might be wondering why i brought you all here today
Feels great to not be a musical snob and actually enjoy the film and the songs. Everyone’s complaining and I’m coming back to this video every couple months cuz I think it’s amazing
Ditto ! One of my favorite movie/musicals ever !
😂lololol "feels great to not be a musical snob"
You said what many of us are thinking… bravo!
Fricking love seeing them dressed all normal, standing casually, but preforming these beautiful musical numbres...like its nothing
Ok so honestly...Samantha barks was MADE for Eponine...
I love how the guy just says "good" at the end
The hat guy will always kill me. Casually switching his phone off just a seconde before killing it.
Talk about being super prepared
That's Aaron Tveit for you, makes everything he does look so casual & effortless
