You can tell who was doing Broadway before this..., but still one of the best songs in the movie.

When Aaron Tveit sings Red and Black, standing at a height, wielding a huge flag - the entire scene stops for me and I only want to hear him. He is the most talented of the entire cast of actor/singers. He has not just charisma, tired word - he conveys conviction.

We have the DVD.

I am grateful that they made this movie. I bought the 10th anniversary concert DVD a few years before the movie came out, but could not really follow since I was not familiar with the story and the show has never come to my city. This movie introduced a great story to those who have not seen the musical. The singing might not be as perfect as the stage versions or the concerts, but it's good enough for me. It made me enjoy the concerts more and read the original novel by Victor Hugo.

I love how you can always hear Hugh Jackman's vibrato

Man that cow at 7:15 sure did a lot to protect those citizens

Brilliant adaption of a brilliant book, with brilliant music performed by a brilliant cast. In other words, brilliant.

Now if you want good singing I agree the 25th concert stuff is better. Anne Hathaway herself said it: “It’s tempting to sing ‘I dreamed a dream’ to perfection, but that doesn’t get across Fantine’s misery.” And the song is still shockingly good sung by her! And more she’s living the character. To look remotely that sickly those actors dehydrated themselves for days, Like come on, can’t we appreciate some grind and effort?

ikr! It's certainly not the first thing that comes into mind when you think about any of them (bar Aaron and the barricade boys of course as most of them are Broadway/Westend actors anyway). I guess it kinda makes sense when you think about it though as most actors would need a pretty good ranger to perform well anyway and a lot of actors start their careers in theatre so they're bound to have sung at some point in the past. Pretty sure some acting schools also include singing as part of their courses as well.

You'd think they would be but very little of the set from this film (bar the very first scene with the ship) is actually CGI. They actually shot the majority of this on location - even wide shots can sometimes be done with models and then just touched up with CGI but the base is still an actual shot. In the two scenes shown here I believe the only major green-screen/CGI would have been in editing the rooftops of the buildings around where they had General Lamarque's funeral and the sky above the Musain. The building fronts of the first bit is in an actual square smwhere (I forget the name) and the streets of Paris/Barricade set is an actual fully functioning set they fully built (in the same place as the Diagon Alley set was which is why the Musain structure looks kinda similar to Gringotts Bank.)!!

@@lost2439 Yeah, Lamarque was one of the last higher ups left from Napolean, and was a staunch anti-monarchist as well as a French war hero, so he was really popular with the lower and middle class. In 1832 there was a massive Cholera outbreak in Paris that killed a lot of the poor, but also claimed the lives of Lamarque and the President of the Council(a role roughly equivalent to the Prime Minister), a man by the name of Casimir Pierre Périer, who was also a massively rich banker, mine owner, and King Louis-Phillippe's biggest and most powerful supporter (so he was naturally hated by pretty much everyone other than the Monarchists). Following their death of Perier on may 16th, there was a grand state funeral and a lot of pagentry dedicated to a man who wasn't all that well liked by the general public, and when Lamrque died, he was given a public funeral, but not one on the level of Perier's, so there was naturally some unrest and protest that culminated in the student revolt seizing the funeral train and diverting it to the former site of the bastille, and hence starting the revolution

My ONLY problem with this film was the rinky dinky barricade. When you see it preformed life its almost 3 stories tall! So on the big screen there is ZERO excuses as to why those chose to make it 5ft high. Funny enough the last song they use a "DIFFRENT" barricade and THAT ONE is massive! Why those chose to NOT USE IT is beyond me, and infuriating considering the OPENING SHOT is a MASSIVE exaggerated harbor, so why the barricade had to be tiny made absolutely no sense. Other than that this film was great!

How do they stay on one rhythm with Do You Hear? Where is the conductor - you need one with a crowd. Probably in a high spot and keeping time with all his might! Actually, with his strength, Aaron Tveit could keep all the singers in unison!

Usually they go and record with an orchestra and then lip sync back to their singing. He wanted them to sing live and had them act/sing because he wanted raw acting emotion. So in post production instead of the singing to the established score, the orchestra had to adjust the score to the pace of their singing which I heard was difficult for them.

Why did they cast a bunch of actors who couldn’t sing

An awfull movie, an AMAAAZING musical!!!!

Every time I see this and Hugh's weak and wobbly voice starts up I feel so bad. Every Les Mis fan has heard such pure notes from really good Valjeans but those who have only seen the movie haven't. I also feel bad for Russel Crowe. Not because his voice is horrible for the role but, if they ever do another non-musical version for the screen, he would have made such an amazing Javert. He just had that 'tortured' look that Javert needs of "I'm only doing my job...aren't I?" Instead, he has gone down in history of one of the worst in recorded Javerts. So sad. Great actors, both, just not for this show.

Honestly, I still felt he was a wonderful Javert. While I appreciated the effort the actors put into the singing, they still put just as much and more into their acting and it showed.

@@trenae77 Yes he put effort in, it was just a crappy casting from the beginning. I really hope they do give him a second kick at the can if they film a non-musical. What absolutely stunk in the vocals - esp. Stars was made up by his posture and face. He was so good at "I'm just doing my job, right? I'm doing well right? This is what's expected of me and I'm doing it well" type thing. He just sounded like a pubescent boy when he sang. It wasn't Russell to who dropped the ball though, it was Hooper, or whoever cast. Whoever does the next non-musical (for movie, I realise BBC did one and it was great!) would be crazy to not use Russell. But it could also be that the number of Valjeans, Javerts and Mariuses in the Cafe that they could have used and they used Hollywood...For the record I thought Eddie fell flat as Marius ... until he got to Empty Chairs and then it was "Okay, okay, I take it back!"

Honestly, I think the voices add a great deal of emotions to the movie. Because while yes, musicals have rather polished songs, here the imperfections create a sense of reality . Also, the voices of Hugh and Russel really fit to the characters in the way that they have eyperienced great hardships and were 'roughened' that way. I sometimes find it awkward to listen to stage production because of these perfectly clean vocals. (The only time I appreciate fully clean vocals is when purely listening to recordings)

The appropriation of this story by liberals and capitalists is crazy... It is a clear call for a socialist revolution... A proletarian revolution! Not a bourgeois one!
