    I'm glad she got the role. I don't think anyone could've done Eponine half as well.

  • @Bowtiesammy8
    @Bowtiesammy8 Před 10 lety +340

    She should've been nominated for an oscar. I agree Anne Hathaway is great but she isn't a supporting actress.. even if she is only there for half of the film but Sam Barks did a great justice to Eponine and I'm so happy she get the film role. I just wish she was able to win or even be nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

    Samantha was my first Eponine since my first full experience was the movie. She is the reason why I fell in love with Eponine in the first place, which shows that she is such a wonderful Eponine

    I remember this day so well. I remember her before she even started her Eponine days at Queens theatre. She was 19 then. I ran her US fansite, and we because good friends. When she was announced for the movie role, I couldn't be more proud. This video always brings the feelings back. She's the sweetest, and I'm so proud of her and all of her accomplishments. She'll always be a very important person in my life..

    I was so happy she got that role.. She was the best Eponine. She had a connection to that character and brilliant at it. She is so underrated... We need more of her. She is Eponine!! Samantha is so talented and was born to play that role just like Sierra Boggess was born to play Christine Daae.

      @singenstattatmen5096 Před 4 lety +1

      Especially since it barely happened at all in the movie! Pretty much everyone else was fame over musical talent, which is why she shined even more so than usual. One of the very few people in the cast one could actually imagine also pulling the role off on Broadway - obviously in her case you don't even need to imagine, since she did it. ^^

    There are some who play the part they're asked to play and others who become the character they're playing. Samantha manages the latter so in the film one believes she is Eponine, not merely playing her.

    Acting on camera is very, very different from acting on stage. Samantha Barks was stage before film, so she's obviously not as good as Anne or Hugh or anybody else yet who have had experience in countless other films - but I see great talent and potential (: She is truly wonderful.

  • @helpstopanimalabuse8153
    @helpstopanimalabuse8153 Před 11 lety

    I saw a advanced screening yesterday in Sydney,Australia & I can tell you the film is twice as emotional as any live Les Miz performance. Samantha was fabulous but in the cinema I have never witnessed almost the entire Audience bawling (not crying) out loud uncontrollably. The film is fabulous. A warning; if you do not like crying in front of strangers then you should pick a seat away from other people.( & I am very serious). I have already bought my ticket to see it again.

Her role as Eponine in the film will break your heart several times. She is among a cast of Superstars & she fits in sublimely. By the end of the show all the Audience were a blubbering mess. I am going to sere the movie again on Xmas day. Don't wait for the dvd , it won't have the same effect. This is a unforgettable moviie.

And to have Colm Wilkenson take in the Bishop of Digne after a storied career as the original Jean Valjean on the stage was just perfect and gratifying. We saw a sneak preview on 12/19 and have tickets for a Christmas Eve show
