@@multienergy3684 While I do enjoy the sentiment of what you're saying, it's not supported by scripture. John 3:16 and Matthew 10:33 as a few "big" examples, in the sense that they in particular are considered defining of Christian faith, among others. Biblical Journey from front to back, old and New testament define a people who we're stiff-necked in their faith and did not believe as they should and as such they would not return to unity with God, because belief in God is paramount, that doesn't mean saying a few Hail Mary's, and thanking God whenever something nice happens, it means a defining and transformative faith in God, to put down your life in the service of others, that is the true love achievable only through faith. That means unity with God will only be only be attainable by believers, those who love Christ as well as humanity truly in their hearts, with a faith in God that is unshakeable. And asking God for forgiveness is not like apologizing once you get caught red handed, you can't bow your head in shame and spit on Christ's feet at the same time hoping he won't notice. But the transformative love of God is available for all, free of charge, whether you are a pagan or atheist or anything, all you have to do is rid yourself of the dirt of this Earth and live in service to Christ and all the children of the Earth. I pray that you see this light of Salvation and help others to see as well. Jesus bore the cross to Calvary to bare the judgment of his father in our place, the greatest gift any man can recieve, and anyone who willingly throws that gift away will not recieve it. God bless you for the love in your heart.

Me too. Even more with the book. There’s obviously no final parade in Heaven there, but it’s incredibly heartwarming to see someone (Marius) FINALLY give Jean Valjean credit for all the good he did. I mean, people were always grateful to his fake selves, like Madeleine and Fauchelevent. And he was always convinced they would’ve all hated him, had they known who he really was (or had been). But now someone is speaking to him as his true self, and calling him a hero. And Cosette is there to hear it, which surely helps the onions to do their job.

I also prefer the arrangements of the movie over the music of the original, where they used a full-blown orchestra as opposed to synths, making songs like this sound a billion times bigger. And as much as I like seeing Eponine again in the moment of Valjean going to heaven, I think I prefer the version here where the bishop is the one who guides him alongside Fantine, since Valjean never really knew Eponine but the bishop is the one who changed his life to begin with.

Before learning this, I thought it was kind of strange that he’d say he never learned to love till she was in his keeping, since he had showed love to the man who was going to be condemned in his place, and had risked exposing his identity to save the man pinned by a cart, and had sought to help Fantine and others. Like, that’s definitely love too.

Cosette and Marius can hear the singing. Fantine stays behind for just a moment to say (in a way) farewell to her daughter. Valjean becomes young again and free. Enjolras, Grantaire, and Courfeyrac stand at the very top of the barricade and Gavroche is on the elephant’s head. (Also, Grantaire is like... half-heartedly pumping his fist with the flag into the air ‘cause he’s just like “I didn’t really sign up for this, but what the hell? Do it for Enji...” 😂)

I only saw this movie once and that was enough! I was emotionallymentally traumatized when the soldiers shot the little boy Gavroche in cold blood and actually showed his death on camera! I could not believe they showed the death of a child on camera! Just brutal and heartless!

1:14 is that Anne Hathaway's idea of stealthily getting out of frame? Edit: she is literally just crouching down and walking away behind Cossette and Marius lol

What she should've done was wait where she was or walk behind the camera, I'm just more shocked that this was the final cut.

no, actually Fantine (Anne) had to crouch because she was assisting Valjean's soul as he left his body and passed through Cosette and Marius. u can tell from the next shot that if she went the other way, both she and Valjean should be walking on the other side.

This is my favorite ending of any musical ever. Sure, the main character dies, but the point is that, after everything Valjean’s been through, he’s satisfied with the life he’s led, and he’s ready to gracefully and peacefully accept its ending

That smile from Fantine when she's watching her daughter's life is far better than hers is really gets me.

The saddest thing about this is that the melody fontaine sings is the same one used in On My Own, whether its meant as him actually being alone in his death or maybe a way to resolve the theme of lost love in the original.

It is fitting that Colm Wilkinson, the original Valjean, helps to welcome Jackman's Valjean into heaven.

Jean Valjean spent half his life in search of atonment, always feeling he was tainted by sin and underserving of love, when not only had he nothing to atone for, but done more than enough to atone for multiple lifetimes. Truly one of the most tragic characters of one of the most beautiful pieces of literature in history.

God is love, and love is God. Even Bob Marley had it right, just love each other and you will know God.

I had always believed Fantine was the core character of the story. Her last words motivated Valjean to do good and through him her daughter was safe, had found the love of her life and inspired them to share their love and tenderness with others. And even after all this time he still remembers her because her death coupled with the kind priest was the only light he had in his life.

One of the best endings I've ever watched!!!!

Whether it's the stage or film adaptation, this part always makes me cry.

I watched Les Misérables in my music class. When I saw this scene, it was like tears. Tricolor's French flag sways, and people's singing voice echoes through the city. I think it was a wonderful ending and a sad ending.

I first read Les Miserables when I was around age ten, and I vividly remember how it was the time when I started appreciating literatures and the power of a complex protagonist. Years later I’m about to graduate from uni and finally went to see the musical in West End. The final scene is soooooo beautiful and I cried in the audience. It feels magical to think about how the 10-year-old me became depressed because she didn’t understand why the story ended like that, but now - being a writer myself and have more experiences in life, the tears I had weren’t actually for grief. The ending is beautiful and has its unique power, even nowadays.

I have read the book, I have watched the film and I always cry at the end, it's so touching. This version is really beautiful. And I especially like the end. I like the way they presented death. Like it's something beautiful, something that brings light, something that isn't scary at all. And it's true. Death is not a scary thing. It really looks like you just fall asleep. Like there's no pain. You just close your eyes and in one moment you wake up again. And you're there: in the Garden of the Lord. There's no pain there, it's just love and peace. You are surrounded by people you loved once, we all are surrounded by love and mercy of our God. He is so good. It's not scary, don't be afraid. We all are gonna die, but that doesn't matter. What matters is where we go, where we will stay forever. Just be good while you live. Be good like Jan Valjan. Help. Love. Love every single person, love God. Do good. It's for what we live for. Doesn't sound like a scary thing to me. ❤️

It’s also a nice parallelism to “Do you hear the people sing?” In that song we barely see Grantaire, because he wasn’t really convinced about fighting (this gets remarked in his solo in DWM), but, after he find his reason to fight and die (Enjorlas) we see him at the front, side by side with the leader. He finally stoped being a follower in the back to become a martyr and a full revolutionary. Also, that love from Enjorlas probably made him win this sort of heaven/after life. He could have died as a careless drunk, but instead he died as a martyr for freedom. It’s beautiful, I’m so glad that we get to see them together like this.

@@mrtuwnbr it absolutely is! Grantaire's journey throughout the musical was a beautiful one, from his verse in DWM to him standing next to Enjolras in the finale. Grantaire may not be exactly optimistic, but it becomes so clear that when he loves, he loves with all his heart and he died to prove that. Enjolras taught him to be a better person and Grantaire turned his life around in time to die while believing in the goodness of people, and I think that takes something really special. Grantaire was the cynic, Enjolras was the dreamer, and it took both of their opinions and outlooks on life to see the truth: humanity is flawed. We arent going to turn around and have everything change for the better, but humanity is far from hopeless. Though it may take a long time, we are moving in the right direction.

@@kp4692 Yees, this song says “To love another person is to see the face of God!” And, as they are in heaven they should have loved someone, if they didn’t they wouldn’t be there. A lot of them were sinners, but it was that selfless love that made them find God and win heaven. Javert did not love anyone and that’s why he’s not there, rejecting love was rejecting God. The students loved freedom and people (they wanted they to had a good life and be free) and probably they loved each other (they were fiends after all and It’s not only romantic love the one that counts) But R did not love those ideals, he loved Enjorlas. If love weren’t what he felt for him he wouldn’t be there, specially not by Enj’s side! But, Enj should also loved someone too, if he only loved his ideals he would be just the revolutionary version of Javert: a man that only saw ideas and not people. Yes, he lived for revolution, but that’s not enough to win heaven. Probably he loved his friends, but maybe he did love R, maybe his sacrifice made him love him. They balanced each other, cynicism and idealism may look like oposites, but actually they completamente each other, both extreme are bad so they need to be together to come to balance. Also, Enjorlas’s characteristic color is red while Grantaire’s color is green, two _complementary_ colors. Those differences kinda made them perfect for each other. Also, Enj and the rest of revolutionaries taught people that fighting for your beliefs it was worthy, as cheesy as it sounds. And when I say people I include us, the audience, that “you” on “Do you hear the people sing” is directed to us. It’s there to say that we should keep fighting and loving cause those are the things that will make tomorrow a better day (geez, it sound really cheesy like that but yeah) As you say, it’s beautiful to watch them together… even in afterlife. As the song says now they are free in the garden of the Lord and… that’s just wonderful.

I've always loved the intensity in Fantine's eyes as she sings, "Say, do you hear the distant drums?" You can see she has a true strength, ferocity, and passion for the future, so unlike her before. In many ways, then, she's come back to life. She's regained her tenacity, her craving of freedom that has at last been rewarded her, for her past sufferings in the name of kindness. She has true HOPE in her eyes, and she sings it with each breath.
