If you want me to upload more scenes of Les Mis just leave which one in a comment below.
Enjoy! :)
"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
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
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 :)
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.
Especially for a thenadier.
Especially for a thendier.
FermiToll And he was so great to people (mostly adults) who were mean to him because he retaliated perfectly.

adjective: gauche
lacking ease or grace; unsophisticated and socially awkward.
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.
"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
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
13?! Damn
No he’s 8 in this film and 10 in into the woods
I love how Courfeyrac gives Gavroche a piggyback ride its so adorable I love them😻😻
RIGHT? I love them so much
Big_Boy_Billy this is so sweet but now i'm sad because they're all dead
Angry Enjolras gives me so much life
Grace Nern Enjolras and Eponine are very favourite characters of me....
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.
"Before we cut the fat ones down to size!" I get goosebumps every time.
Same here
+SilverFoxTalks the fat ones are still around...
+Nuno Baptista and most of them are left uncut...
me too
"Here's the thing about equallity , everyone's equal when they're dead... " That's what gives me goosebumps ...
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?
Elad Ozeri you do realize this was a stage musical first before it was a movie so you could also say the creators said this as well
Felicia Ariza Haha, true enough. I liked your bio BTW ;--;
so it’s like a reprise?
Still directors, either way if you think about it. The directors have to work with the producers.
@@feliciaroseariza 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?")
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.
i get so excited when Enjolras appears every time
The most English sounding Frenchmen.
+Date Masamune I was thinking the same thing
@FknSlytherin Lmaoooo
Said the most English talking samurai.
What do you expect from a child
HAHAHAHHA
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
Most Brits do surely not speak French -.-
But Thènardier has a French accent. Does that mean he's actually English in the context of the film?
@@brianhurd8691 The world speaks English because of the British Empire.
French people with french accents are just clamoring for attention
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
And I thought the "Look Down" sequence at the start was powerful.I definitely have to watch this film,now.
eponine is so pretty!
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Turbo9987
Agreed!
True!
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
This child was better in this movie, than some experimented actors, and he is just a kid
Experienced*
he was in the west end production of les mis as gavroche as well !!
One of the best Child actors ever..watch for him in the future
Little Gavroche's Cockney accent is so funny! And he played the scene really well, congrats!
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!
СПАСИБО ААААА
Thanks
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"
*has volume all the way up*
ad: THE GROUPON AP-
me: AHHHHHHHHHHH
Am I the only one that finds Gavroche's accent adorable
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.
This kid is right on his way to joining the Assassin's Creed.
im imagining arvo watching this bieng confused and inspired
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
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.
Harry Potter theory : Newt Scamander fought in the French Revolution
This isn't the French Revolution
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)
I never knew that so many French people spoke with an English accent.
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.
ThefightingCelt Yeah, you got that right. The boy has more cockney in his accent than Oliver Twist.
Elliott Grimes You copied that from CinemaSins
its a english movie , then shut up
Doctorwhoman186 Did he patent his quotes? I think not.
He looks like a little Heath Ledger
Omg...I see it too! :')
Love this kid!!! He's so adorable but tough and brave at the same time. Love him to bits.
Omg, I'm so sorry for all Marius' friends... And Gavroche, of course... 😭😭😭 it's so sad.
Marius has the worst bachelors Party ever...
Has anyone else noticed 2:16 Enjolras' dissapearing book?
*Joker vocie* TADA! IT'S GONE!
(even better is how Gavroche looks a bit like Heath Ledger.)
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?)
And it's back in his hand a few seconds later, when he's saying Lamarque was ill.
Yea guys imma show you a magic trick.
Its gonnnnnneee
I threw it in the air, it’s not that hard to explain.
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
It's meant to reflect the restlessness of the situation
@@victoriaR587Makes sense, I guess
When gavroche sings it gets so catchy
Enjolras is flawless
Thank you.
Gavroche is one of my favorite characters... His Smart ass attitude haha
I know he's awesome
That little boy is amazing. Love that kid so much!!! HE IS INSANE! Extrodinary actor and he is so sweet. Realy sad when he dies :'(
The most british french kid ever.
Gavroche is a great kid. One of my favorite characters. I literally cried to death when he died
“Before we cut the fat ones down to size!”
Great line. It’s also timeless.
1:25 the recent history of Iran (Islamic Revolution) in a nutshell....The history repeats itself indeed...
1:50 ITS A COURFEYTAXI
"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.
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.
you right vincentpol
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.
0:46 In the 19th century when you got jacked in your ride, they didn't shoot you, they sang to you!
Makes me want to live in that century
But I can't for reasons...
Second to Enjolras and Valjean, Gavroche is my favorite. He's extremely brave and plucky.
I love listening to the kid sing. He sounds like he learned the entire fucking song phonetically.
Eddie Redmayne nailed this scene!
It's amazing how relavent this continues to be...
Absolutely
The shocking moment when you read the book and realize Petit Gavroche is the Thénardier's son and Eponine's little brother.
Ahh the look on Jehan and Joly's faces looking up at Enjolras singing "before the barricades arise!" *sobs*
the critics didnt know what good musicals were this one is one of the best that has been made in the last 25 yrs.
As far as remember, it got decent criticism? I really dislike it, though, except for certain scenes, like this one. Good musical, bad movie
@@monmothma3358 The two leads both lacked the vocal chops for their parts, badly.
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 almost reminds me of a mini Enjrolas (sp?). Especially when the other kids are following him.
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
Anyone else notice the guy in the middle of the crowd around :52 who looks like he's thinking, "Where am I? Who are you people? What's going on?"
that kid has one hell of a voice!
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.
Always loved the chorus in this number!
I don't exactly know what to call the accent the little kid, has, but it is SOO FRIGGIN' HEAVY!!
Cockney. He has a Cockney accent. That accent is typically found in Southern London.
@@vegasfirefly7392and here we are in France...🤔
@@vegasfirefly7392 East End of London and not southern London.
Eddie Redmayne tho!!!!! Amazing performance yet again!!!!! He's phenomenal bro!!!!!
Gavroche..... 😭😭😭😭😭
I laughed when he died, tbh
I was so pissed when he died.
I cried and almost punched the screen :((((
we stan Gravoche he stood for what he believed in 🤍
Seeing that, as a french person, makes me want to scream "Vive la France !" In an American accent
😂
That’s a British accent. The actor is British.
This movie is so powerful but I think people don't understand just how important it really is
It's an important story, but the movie adaptation wasn't very good. I wish it were better.
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
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.
i like that kind of French sorcery that enjolras does
We are doing a bunch of French related songs for French day in our school and we start with this it is such a strong song❤
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.
I cried when he's died:(
Thank you for uploading this OMG you're amazing!
I love Daniel Huttleson as gavroche he is my favorite because he has a great cockney accent he is really sassy and funny and he is super cute.
Gavroche is such a good character. There's so much more to him if you read the book. 😢
2:13 I'm gonna make this thing disappear... Gone!
+Corbin Burdette Omg D: Enjolras is a magician!
+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.
its normal, its an american movie (Just a joke, Kiss form France
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
"Everyone's equal when they're dead."
How many of us are going down in the history books?
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"
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
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.
LES MISERABLES: PLEASE IN THE NETHERLANDS AGAIN
Poor little man this makes me sob to this day
this movie has changed my life forever. No joke.
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.
Classmate: Takes out a packet of crisps
The entire class:
Gavorche is my favorite character in Les Mis
same
He's like a little warrior angel
Love the addition of "Master of the House" in the music.
That kid spoke the truth. Only on Judgement Day will we all be equal
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).
That kid did a great job .
Everyone's Equal, when they're dead
This is my favorite song of the whole movie. I just love the people singing in the background.
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.
I think his accent so nice..
Gavroche is something else.
He really is lol
Little Gavroche is so spectacular! Great part, great actor.
Govroche's solo continues to amaze me💗
Did anybody else noticed how the book in Enjolras’ hand dissapears for a take?
