Drink With Me- Grantaire's Cut Solo (Movie Version)

- This scene was sorely missing from the film, so I took the of George Blagden singing the omitted solo and put it back in :) A link to the original , as requested (The Password is 'musain')-
vimeo.com/1694...
0:35 Enjolras is totally like those guys at work who keep reminding people to rest while he himself never does.
You mean he's like a leader?
iammarwanyo Yes, but sometimes restless leaders need to be reminded that they're not the only one who care about the work/the people/the revolution/whatever it is ;)
One of my favorite characters. I think Fantine Valjean and Enjolras are my favorite characters
😭😭 this point makes me love him even more.
smndat remind me of Shiro from VLD
grantaire’s verse was a soft black. it’s like accepting death with equanimity. all those who participated in the revolution knew they’d end up lying on the dirty street of france. they weren’t there to fight for their lives, they were there to fight for others’ lives.
This is really late but I wanted to comment. I bunk the saddest part is that most of the people in the June Rebellion did not believe it would fail. They truly believed that the people would rise with them and that France would be unified in its desire for freedom and equality. One of things that is so sad about Grantaire is he never believed in the things the revolution stood for but he believed in his friends and especially enjolras. This is truly his song because it shows that he the friendship and companionship of this group meant everything to him.
In the real musical, he has a breakdown during the part and ends up screaming it at everyone and grabbing Bossuet, then pushing Enjolras
@@rideoutsean I think it depends on the interpretation, they can have it be sung angrily or have it be sung introspectively.
This is so true. In fact, in the Final Attack, Enjolras sings
"Let others rise to take our place until the Earth is free"
Grantaire was such a loyal friend till the end. He could have tried to run to save his own life but he decided to die beside his friend. That was really powerful.
S. Y. yeah yeah BEST FRIEND
just dudepals being bros
*cough cough* boyfriend *cough cough* lol
Antisocial Idiot no just bros. Not everyone who are close friends are gay...
Axel it was a joke mate chill out 😂 😂 x
I cried, the instant Grantaire and Enjolras stand shoulder by shoulder raising the flag, while Grantaire sings "is your life just one more lie?" Ahhhhh!!! What a life!! Shame they cut the verse from the movie!

Same

Oh gad same😢😢😢😢
Do you guys realize that the cut verse is George Bladgen singing accapella as he’s walking down the street towards the place of the barricade in Paris? He’s like, perfectly on key and in time, and he freaking felt moved to sing that verse as he walks towards the place where Enjolras and Grantaire died. My point is, how is George a real person?
What did we do to deserve George blagden tbh
Hamilton: Raise a glass
Les Miserable: Raise more glasses!
Where can I watch Hamilton on the Internet?
Hamilton is not yet made into a movie, its only on Broadway and some other selected cities.
Janne Blubber tis a joke
TO THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE!
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye,
To say goodbye
You and I...
"At the shrine of friendship never say die,
Let the wine of friendship never run dry... "
This is beautifully written. Makes my heart aches so much. Especially when Enjolras was standing alone not joining in the drinking with the others, yet his eyes couldn't hide his care and love for his friends. He talked about Love for his Patria, passionate for revolution and change, yet on the other hand, just like anyone else, he cared about his friends and partners in thr crusade. He knew at that time, the crusade had already lost and was certain that he and the others would face death soon. He realized it sooner and better than anyone. That's why he seemed saddened when Grantaire started to sing "Drink with me". I must say Enjolras is indeed my favourite character in les miserables as this is really a brilliant character.
Sig Jai I agree enjolras is my favourite character too
Indeed he is, I absolutely love his character
Enjolras is my Absolute Favorite character too
Yes!
Me too! I mean, I kind of started with an unfair bias as I very much admire Aaron Tveit as an actor - he's the reason I joined this musical in the first place - but I just love the character of Enjolras on his own. I can't wait to read the book: I hear he's quite prominent there.
Marius: Do I care if I should die, now she goes across the sea?
Valjean: Ooo there’s tea what’s this?
Marius: Life without Cosette...
Valjean: *OH SHI-*
I’m scREAMING
Too accurate
But before that, when the barricade boys have gathered and are sharing their drink, Valjean stands quietly and observes these young fellows, thinking: *_the time has come, the day is here. WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKERS IS MARIUS? i just wanna talk!_*
And then next song he's like 'Guess what boyo you're my son now'
I read this comment while I was watching the scene and now my life is complete
I'm so depressed that the sad verse was cut: It was so important to understanding Grantaire's character.
I usually have a love/hate relationship with this song, because it's so open and vulnerable... And then Marius makes it all about his love life. DAMMIT Pontmercy! We've talked about this! France before pants!!
Pylades Drunk Grantaire barely has a character in the movie other than "that other, other rich kid rebel."
Benyamin Soto Depends on how you watch it. No matter how small the part, any decent actor is going to do their best to infuse their character with as much personality and motivation as possible (while not pulling focus).
...I might also be drawing affection for the character from the book...
I get that we're having a deep discussion about how well George Blagden did bringing out the character of Grantaire, even when limited so much, and I definitely agree. But I'd just like to add that "France before pants" is probably the best phrase of its kind, and I laughed so hard at that.
I read that they cut of many of his parts, like when Enjolras is singing: "will you take your place with me?"
E was looking at R, and R was suppose to walk up the stairs to join him ^^
AAAAA SAME! I (kinda) hate when Marius starts to sing, cuz I'm like "what about the others??? :("
Finally I know how to pronounce Courfeyracs name
Terezi Pyrope YET I STILL CANT
Both of you
Same
coo fay rock
ararlynn ! Coor-fur-ock
Terezi Pyrope Yes! The way Enjolras pronounces it is just... *chef’s kiss* perfection.
They had time for three hours of friggin Master of the House AND A WHOLE NEW SONG THAT KILLED THE PACING but Grantaire's most thematically important eight measures would have made the movie too long.
I know, it's such a fucking shame. By the way, what was the new song they added in?
Magi V the song they added in for the movie was Suddenly
To be fair "Master of the House" is one of the most recognizable songs of the musical, and "Suddenly" while I'm not a fan of that song, I can see that they included it to reflect Valjean's toughts to his book counterpart
they also cut most of turning, which imo is one of the best songs
@@indighost__ agreed
When you remember that was the last time they all smiled together
what the heck man 😭
why you gotta make me cry five minutes before my class...
OH CRAP THAT JUST TOOK THE WIND OUTTA ME
Everyone: *selflessly singing about the sacrifice they will soon make for their country even if there is no hope that they'll actually change anything and instead will die for nothing*
Marius: well gee my girlfriend who i've spoken like 6 words to is moving town, CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH?!?
Tbf in the books it's months not minutes that they loved each other
*best friend of many years dies*
Marius: *cried over girl he just met*
Joshua Grosso no I mean I get that he loves her and I do understand that all consuming distraction of love but also like he got over eponine’s death real fast
If you think about it Marius was all for the cause of revolution until he saw cosette in the streets of paris on a Wednesday
sounds like enjolras propaganda but ok
I think we have to appreciate Redmayne's acting here. His treatment of the verses managed to make it not so cheesy - instead of sounding soppy, he actually sounds depressed and semi-suicidal.
Gosh his voice is so simple but so powerful! Why did they have to cut this!?!?!
From all the actors I know his voice is by far my most favorite. It's so soft and simple and yet so full of meaning and I love it
Okay but Grantaire's voice is so surprisingly soft, when he's singing his cut part, it's beautiful.
(Also Marius no, we give no fucks about Cosette)
I mean I don't give NO fucks about Cosette. She's not exactly relevant to this but she is GOOD.
I give some fucks to Cosette but not marius :p
every time Marius starts singing about how absolutely aaaaawful it is that he can't be with Cosette I think "shut up Marius no one cares about your lonely soul!"
"We all have lonely souls, Marius, yours isn't any different"
Jupis, that was deep...
WE STRIVE TOWARDS A LARGER GOAL
OUR LITTLE LIVES DON'T COUNT AT ALL
:D
it's 2020, but let's all be honest; everyone still loathes the fact that they decided to cut this precious solo
EDIT: hey, it's 2021! we, as a people, must demand the entire director's cut
This is true... and then some (because, the cast and the costume department aside, I have a whole list of complains, even after all these years I'm still bitter lol)
True that
@@barbyzz22 I really dislike most of this movie and Aaron Tveit and Hadley Fraser almost made up for it but then they cast Eddie Redmayne as Marius and cut Grantaire’s solo so I gave up
@@mars-nf9cj I actually really liked Eddie in the role
@@Casutama eh, he wasn’t terrible but his voice was nowhere near powerful enough for a lead and he was way too high. also his acting in general just creeps me out like he’s always looking off into the distance
I'm about to touch on multiple things here. I really wish that they had kept his part in and even the others parts in, because its the only way we get to see the characters in depth. In the book, they all get a description, but there's really no way to do that in the musical. Having the joking of the first verse shows how that this was intended to be a sweet fun moment between the Les Amis. And having Grantaires part in not only shows that he is unbelieving in the success of the cause and is afraid of death, and even that he is a drunkard, but it also transitions this happy sweet moment between friends into a dawning of realization that they could quite possibly die tomorrow. Another thing is that I love the way his part was sung in this version. It's quiet and gentle, almost as if you are being let in on his secret fear of death and doubt, making it sound more personal. While in the Broadway version Grantaire is normally quite obviously drunk and is speaking his true mind and feelings under the influence of alcohol, making it a little more emotional. Both versions are amazing and very well done. More reason why they should've kept it in, but I understand that they couldn't. If you guys actually read to the end of my long "rant", then thank you!
George's voice is gorgeous. I hate that this scene was cut out. When Enjolras and Grantaire died together, it was beautiful. Tom Hooper should've added in the "Do you permit it?" part
Yeeeeeeesss, he should've. But he was probably thinking that the silence of the actors and the music in the background would be more powerful.
@@theamericanyoutuber I agree - imagine if they kept it. I would have died of fangirling, probably xD But seriously, the eilence is good. I would have loved the canonical smile from Enjolras as we don't see him smile much, but still. The scene was good :')
Can we talk about how sweet and adorable little Gavroche's voice is?
November Gold indeed haha!
But they kept Marius’ part ????? Like we already KNOW Marius is a huge simp , but Grantaire’s part was IMO so SO important like-
Well, Marius's solo is important too, as that is how Valjean finds out he is the one from the letter and the one his daughter loves.
Well I bet they had no choice because that is the part Valjean knows whom he would save
I really love his solo because before this song you really only see him in the background, in a more humorous light. But he's serving in this cause that he DOESN'T FULLY BELIEVE IN and he's about to DIE for it and you see all these conflicting emotions. Like "is your life just one more life" like PLEASE
Oh, goodness. I started tearing up. So perfectly done. I was gutted when they cut Grantaire's solo.
So was George Blagden.
why did they cut it?
Assholes are everywhere. Guess they wanted someone with a bigger ' name' not a better voice.
Grantaire's lines in that song have always been my favorite lines in the entire musical. I was so disappointed when I didn't hear them in the movie. It never fails to send a shiver down my spine and bring me to tears. They knew what was going to happen- but they chose to believe. And, in Grantaire's case, to stay with his friends even though he knew it was a lost cause and that they were going to get killed. This character- aaaahhhh!
*Enjolras* : Courfeyrac, you take the watch
They may attack before it's light
Everybody keep the faith
For certain as our banner flies
We are not alone
The people too must rise
*Grantaire* : Drink with me to days gone by
*Chorus* : To the life
*Gavroche* : To the life
*Chorus* : that used
*Gavroche* : that used
*Chorus* : to be
*Gavroche* : to be
*Chorus* : At the shrine of friendship, never say die
Let the wine of friendship never run dry
Here's to you
*Gavroche* : Here's to you
*Chorus* : and here's to me
*Grantaire* : Drink with me, to days gone by.
Can it be your fear to die?
Will the world remember you and your fall?
Can it be your death means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?
*Marius* : Do I care if I should die, now she goes across the sea?
Life without Cosette means nothing at all.
Would you weep, Cosette, if I were to fall?
Would you weep, Cosette, for me?
It’s when you fall 🙂
@@GoroAkechi_ thanks🤧
thank you, i couldn’t hear what he was saying properly-
1:43 this is SUCH a powerful moment. when Enjolras holds up the flag, the look on his face is so heartbreaking. the fact that they stood there and died for the people of their country is unbelievable. clearly enjolras knew from the beginning that he was going to die, but him staring death in the face just brings me to tears every time. it’s so hard to believe that they were just young boys and that they had their whole lives ahead of them, but instead they gave up their lives in hopes to help their country. most powerful moment in the movie. also, this is probably my favorite song in the whole show.
this is why i think his death is one of the saddest in les mis
I was about to cry, but then Marius started singing about his "love life".
George's voice is so vulnerable and perfect why would they cut this. Anyway thanks for sharing so that we have it anyway :)
A beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful scene. Heart breaking. This is the first time I’ve seen this clip and I’m in pieces.
Well it's not supposed to be vulnerable. It's written for him to have what is similar to a breakdown, where he yells at everyone, ends up grabbing bossuet and pushing Enjolras
Jean Valjean even so, the way George Blagden did it was absolutely beautiful. His interpretation of Grantaire was unique. Every actor is bound to make creative decisions that differ from other actors or even the original story. That doesn’t mean it’s any less powerful/ beautiful/ brilliant.
@@jasperD33 sure, it was beautiful, but it doesnt fit the roles description, how they act or how they were feeling
My friend is in a therapy group which is like a really close family. They have all been fighting to not give up on life. Everytime someone tells about a suicide attempt they sing this song together because it reminds then they're not alone. It's so heart warming yet so sad.
❤
WHY DID THEY CUT GRANTAIRE'S PART :'(
One of my favorite moments in the show. I was upset that it was cut from the movie.
I will never understand some of the choices they made with this version of the musical. Why was this verse cut? It's one of the most relatable verses in the entire musical!
GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF MARIUS
This man has such a soothing voice! He can announce the beginning of a nuclear war and still keep people in their happy place.
Hahaha 😂
This is so well cut! The way everything lined up nearly made me cry. Actually who am I kidding? I'm crying
As I E/R shipper, it kills me that they cut those verses in the movie. It's my favourite part of the musical. In the novel, it's when Enjorlas smiles at him and they die holding hands : )
rebeca agoiz i ship it too :,-)
What's E/R?
SoHardToBeMe it's Enjolras/Grantaire
Have you read the book? That scene was pretty much lifted straight from the book, right down to them holding hands.
They shook hands.
I'm so glad you put George Blagden's solo back in! It's absolutely and breathtakingly beautiful! Thank you so, so much! ;-)
*(I'm not the only one who's crying right now, am I?)*
Late answer, but no you're not the only one that cried
This is so so perfect omg ever since i saw George's video I was hoping somebody would do this
HI THERE
KatzeOwly HELLO OMG
Ayyyyyy
Where’s his video??! I neeed it
Lorelei Lorentz just type in George Blagden drink with me r’s verse and it should come up. :) T.T
Enjolras and Grantaire are my favorite part of this movie!
So much heart!
the actor who plays Grainter played the role of Louis XIV in a TV serie, an absolute king. And here there is him, a rebel for the revolution....
The saddest thing about this song is they all know they’re going to die. They know they aren’t going to make it out of there; they’re singing a last tribute to their friendship and their cause and the love they have for each other and their country. They know they’re going to die, but they’re choosing to look at it as a last farewell instead of something grief-worthy. Valjean, on the other hand, looks visibly stricken- he knows they’re going to die too, and that they’ll die horrible deaths. He looks at their choice of a sweet farewell to each other and their country, and he is just visibly hurting for them because he knows that they, innocent young men not much grown past boyhood, will die awful, bloody deaths but they’re choosing to accept it and give a final salute. “They’re all going to die,” he’s thinking, but those young men just keep on singing softly, enjoying the last starlit embrace of friendship before the bloodsoaked, terror-stricken end.
One of the most underrated moments in the stage show... It always gets me every time. Grantaire is the joker of the group and to see that vulnerable human moment is so powerful. 💔
I really wish they hadn't cut Grantaire's part if for no other reason that his words are so relatable. The questions of whether I will fear death when I'm on the brink of it even though I claim now that I won't, if people will remember me when I fall, if my life means nothing at all in the end, if my life is just one more life- those are actually things that I think about (in my gloomy, cynical, contemplative moods). I feel that it would have helped the audience connect more with Les Amis and everything they were feeling in that moment.
The fact that this verse is really the thing tethering musical Grantaire to book Grantaire…and they cut it
Gavroche's little voice in the background ! My heart !!
I very much wish they didn't cut that part of the song... it was very important... very important to Grantaire's character... and how he feels about Enjolras. As the light that guides him down a broken path. No one loves the light more than the blind man. Another thing the directors had just Enjolras and Grantaire's faces because the actors would not have a take of their death without holding each other's hands like in the book. It just pisses me off.
Amen. And did they really shoot just the faces because they were holding hands? Oh my god...
Taking this out of the film was a huge mistake
This movie made a LOT Of mistakes. Doing the live singing was one (most of the songs ended up sounding shrill and thin, and poor Hugh Jackman had to SHOUT 'Bring Him Home' which is supposed to be a very quiet number), and cutting important songs like this to ribbons was another. Stunt casting (Russell Crowe as Javert) was a third. And don't get me started on that super-fake "streets of Paris" set. Ugh.
@@SarahB1863 some things you said I agree with but I personally liked the sets, maybe its just me.
@@SarahB1863 í actually liked the live singing, e.g. Samantha barks in on my own was really good imo. But I think the problem was getting non singers with the exception of Anne Hathaway
Honestly, I'm just here for George.
@Hopeshadows84 Hopeshadows84 George Blagden is the one who plays Grantaire (the one in green) in the movie
And his voice is literally that of an angel, how could they cut it???
I was so pissed that they cut R's part from the movie... I hoped it'll be on DVD but nooo.... why include the best part... Thanks for making this :)
lyrics yeet yeet
drink with me, to days gone by / can it be you fear to die? / will the world remember you when you fall? / can it be your death means nothing at all? / is your life just one more lie?
You, person who made this video, did a public service, thank you.
I don't really cry in movies that much but I'm losing it right now
Whoever made the final decision to remove these few lines from the movie version ought to be horse whipped. They add so much how can they not see that?!?!
Je suis tellement attendrie par Grantaire, sa relation avec Enjolras est tellement magnifique et profonde ♥
I have so many feelings about this. This song means so much to me. It’s some of the best characterization the group gets and especially the best Grantaire gets. It emphasizes they fact that the only thing he believed in was this group and enjolras in particular. He didn’t believe in the cause really but god dammit if he wasn’t willing to die for the people who did. This song is all about passion, friendship, love and devotion. It drives me crazy that this part was cut.
george blagden's voice is angelic
thank you, thank you, thank you so much for doing this!
lu terradas link for George's post?
He's got such a good voice! Why was this cut when it's so beautiful and fits in so well with the story.
I’ve watched this video so many times, I keep forgetting it’s not actually in the movie and so I get ridiculously sad when it gets to this part of the movie and it jumps straight to marius’ part (more than normal)
cosyfrog 2004 same i came back from the movie to listen to this part
I get to play grantaire in our school musical and to get his solo is so amazing to me. I love grantaire
The sweetest
I get goosebumps literally every time I see Grantaire's cut solo and this scene together. It fits together so perfectly
Why wasn't the solo in the movie??? It's so beautiful and fits Grantaire so well!
In my opinion, the decision to let Grantaire and Enjolras die side by side by Hooper was a fantastic one. It showed, to me at least, that the soldiers had respect for the Students for standing and fighting till the death for what they believe in. The little details in the direction of this movie are what make it great in my honest opinion
I’m so used to the stage versions of the songs and it really hurts me how much they cut from this song not only Grantiaires part but Jean and joly’s to with the pretty girls/witty girls part. Not only is it important to development this part of the song also explains how Grantaire is missing after this scene. They cut so much of every song
Shoot me in the heart and hope I die before I forgive Tom for cutting this. There's so much depth to the song that he just kinda threw away (in favor of more Marius/Cosette).
So in love with Enjolras! 😍
1:15
The time his solo starts
You're welcome
Bro what, i'm sure Gant and Enj were um... romantically involved, or at best one loved the other and it was unrequitted.
This, to me, is the most beautiful song in the show and I was appalled when the movie version cut it short. Thank you for redressing it.
I love his voice. It's so soft and beautiful.
To the life that used to be...
My feels with Enjolras and Grantaire standing together before they get shot, and MARIUS comes in to sing about Cosette. THanks buddy, you sure know how to ruin a moment!
I loved the bit where Gavroche, who was too young to drink, offered one of the boys a piece of his bread. So sweet.
I'm not crying, there's just a revolution in my eye.
30 seconds! They couldn't keep 30 seconds of that smooth voice Blagden has.
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye,
To say goodbye
You and I...
is this a reference to something?
I don’t understand
YESSS HAMILTON
Nicolas Davidson hamilton
*Whatever it is, Jefferson started it*
Ahhhhhhhh soft voice
Maybe if they added this he wouldnt just be known as the drunk man
I really want the uncut version of Les Mis... They even had Mabeuf, the poor old man!
YOU. I literally typed in George's name and Drink with Me to do just this for myself and then this video pops up as the first option sounding better than anything I could have done and with a fantastic video on top of that. God bless.
Im outraged that they cut this
WHY WAS THIS CUT?? I wish this was kept in, honestly they probably had their reasons for cutting it but still it's an awesome solo and it would have been so great if it was kept
In the original concept album, Grantaire had this funny line:
Remember all the days gone by,
And the promises we made.
Our lives are expandable from no point of view,
Our ages add up to 142!
Here's to us who will die old.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL
Still listening to this in 2021 and crying like a baby. I wish this hadn't been cut from the movie
To me, this is the most important verse in the song.
Hadley Fraser's Grantaire would have been amazing too. The way he sang this part at the O2 was breathtaking. Thank you for giving us this!
So I'm just gonna put this here - but if you watch the original footage - Grantaire disappears from the barricade shots immediately after his line, because all that footage is set after his solo when he's already left. At the start he's sat next to Jehan, but after his line there's a clear close up on Jehan, and Grantaire has now been replaced by Feuilly - which isn't the best continuity. This film really messes up the emotional pacing of the 1832 content by skimming down the scenes to fit into the 2h30m runtime - they spent too much time adding stuff for Jackman, Hathaway and Crowe in the first half - and the second half suffered. But that's not the rant I'm gonna get into.
What I wanted to point out is that - the shot where Enjolras has isolated himself and is all sad looking was most likely filmed as his reacting to Grantaires leaving. In the uncut version Grantaire is supposed to finish his solo then 'glare at Enjolras' before going into the café - unlike stage versions, their 'moment' was set to be more tense than loving - which I wish they had kept - along with their other stuff.
Also, showing Enjolras on the line, "never say die", (would have) made it a direct response to Grantaire's, "can it be you fear to die?" line - there's emotional conflict within Enjolras in this moment because of the solo - which is weakened by it being cut. Tveit and Blagden both have a brilliant ability at speaking without saying anything (you can see it in this video) - the way they look - or don't look - at one another in a single glance, communicates everything about their relationship and how it's more emotionally complex that just - leader and follower. They are my favourite part of the whole film - and its criminal that it was lessened as it was - while they unfairly add content for J, H and C to explain things that don't need explaining.
-- Anyway - sorry this turned so long - I can't say anything without masses of words. But I also wanted to add that I LOVE this video so much! I cant stop listening to it and making others listen to it - its beautifully done. so thank you for doing it! ❤💚
where do you find the original footage? I really want to watch it!
@@sparrow8534 Maybe 'original footage' was the wrong choice of wording - what I meant was the parts of this video that were actually in the film and not the footage the OP added with the solo. Sorry for any confusion. Though, I did actually find a gif set on Tumblr which shows the actual shots of GB singing "just one more lie" then walking away as he glares at Enjolras. They were terrible quality, slo-moed, and had no sound - but it gave me life to see even just a snippet of his performance.
I'm losing my mind over this edit, it's so beautiful :'D
Beautiful editing job! Such a lovely song.. *sniff*.. I'm not crying.. nope.. not today! ...ok.. fine..maybe a little.
Thanks for this, absolutely ridiculous that it was shortened in the film
This is one of the best song in the act, if not in the world. I listen to this whenever I’m angry, it cools me down.
Because (stereotypical, in your face) lOvE
WHHYYY WOULD THEY CUT THIS OUT!!!!!
its so good I got goosebumps
aaaaalright let's go over all the things that had no development in the movie-
Grantaire and his admiration for Enjolras, so in turn his motivation to do the things he does within the story
Marius and Cosette's romance, which ends up making Marius seem like he's devoting everything to a girl he barely knows
Eponine and Cosette's relationship as children, in which Eponine is actually not the somehow perfect child brought up by the Thénardiers and in fact treats Cosette horribly, which also means that she has little to no character development here because there's no redemption
All of Les Amis
Azelma, who isn't even in it at all
They added a whole new song but somehow couldn't give more development to some pretty important elements
Actually the book says that Éponine acted like that bc she was doing what her mother taught her but I understand your point
Also that representation of Marius is a bit accurate ¿¿?? like, he was so in love with Cosette for six months and he didn't even know her name nor spoke to her hejsksjdk
But yes, we needed more Cosette in this movie a n d in the musical. A lot of people hate her bc they see her as a bad or annoying character just bc they didn't read the book :(
I agree with the rest of the things tho, Les Amis (specially Grantaire) should have more time :((
Also, sorry if my English is trash, it's not my first language
@@ohboi3369 I mean- six months is better than a few days if you intend to marry someone, and I think one of the main reasons people don't like Cosette is out of sympathy for Eponine
I've played Grantaire before and this brings back brilliant memories. So beautiful.
Les miserables is by far one of the best movies I've ever seen.... I've watched it an unholy amount of times....
this movie version of this song with Gavroche's singing, followed shortly by Gavroche's death, personifies the agonising grief that losing children in war would feel like
superb!!! bravo!!! you are a genius. we have waited so long for this
WHY DID THEY CUT IT!!! IT'S SO PERFECT!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love this song. But then again, I love this play. When I first saw it, it was my older brother’s first high school play. In the scene, there was a guitar in the barricade, my brother pulled it out, played it, and sang the first line. He was a minor character, but he was such a great actor.
It’s sad that this verse isn’t in the soundtrack. His voice is lovely and soft. It would’ve brought a different side to his character.
Instead of just the drunken, brash comic relief. Yeah...
