Fantine (Come to me) Les Miserables 2012

[@charliecastle]

Fantine's death is so much sadder in the book but this scene has done it justice. I remember throwing the book across the room, I was so upset.

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

BathoryBat Tell me, how was the book? Her death, I mean. What made you so upset about it?

[@shadow3546]

I’ll remind myself not to do when I’m near that part

[@vr4312]

When Fantine had her two front teeth pulled and sold because of Thenardier’s ransoms, I was beside myself - threw the book...... even resented the author.....Never had such a visceral reaction from a work of fiction. Victor Hugo is undoubtedly one of Western civilization’s greatest minds.

[@aradi96]

There're so many story threads in this book where good people suffer and die a horrible death It's a very sorrowful but ultra-realistic view of human life. These things happen in real life every day...

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Yes, I'm actually rather glad they left that bit out of the stage version - I can remember feeling physically sick at reading that bit. Not at the gruesome fact of having one's teeth pulled (although that's awful enough) but feeling such a gut-wrenching mix of horror and pity that someone could be forced to sink so utterly low, I actually felt ill.

The part where Fantine is hallucinating about Cosette and then you see her walking towards her only to see Cosette vanish from Fantine's sight breaks my heart every single time I watch this scene. Especially when Fantine says, "Come, Cosette. My child, where did you go?" Next thing you know, Fantine dies and never sees Cosette again, until the Finale, but in spirit. RI.P. Fantine. 😢

[@maxrubert5795]

Fantine dies singing to Cosette while Valjean comforts her at her side. Valjean dies singing the same melody to Cosette while Fantine comforts him at his side through death and into the next life. I think Cosette represents those who we love, and personified the sentiment "to love another person is to see the face of God". Valjean learned grace and love through loving Cosette as a daughter. Fantine performed the greatest love for Cosette, sacrificing herself in life and death and descending below everything for her. Marius loves her as a person and as a soulmate. Even Eponine died in selfless, self-sacrificing love for Marius and Cosette to live happily together, even though it's the life she wanted for herself.

[@cosettefauchelevent5495]

Well, only in the stage version. In the original book, when Valjean returned, Javert suddenly appears like in the Confrontation and then telling all the truth about Valjean, and she died with that shock. That was the only part that Valjean really got mad at Javert.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

I think that's the point - both Eponine and Fantine are singing about the person they love more than their own life, and both are about to depart this world.

[@garionfan1]

I believe the composer did that deliberately, the emotion in each song is very similar even though I personally feel more sorrow at Fantine’s death than Epinione’s.

[@carihigdon3263]

Fun fact, but it's because On My Own was also a Fantine song in the original French production before they adapted the show for the West End.

[@jarosawblaminsky2988]

Few songs of Les Mis share the same melody...

[@oliviapetrowski4553]

It’s also the same as part of the Epilogue when Valjean is dying. You also hear the melody at the end of “Look Down” at the beginning of the movie.

[@tankmaster1018]

Anne absolutely killed this scene... And I mean that in a good way. I've seen Le Miz 3 times live (DC, Virginia, and Germany), but even though I saw people who were technically better at singing, they didn't come close to the emotion this song requires. Anne fucking nailed the emotion, and the feeling she put into the performance more then made up for her vocal flaws in my opinion. She's no Ruthie, but expecting a mainstream Hollywood actress to have a voice that competes with Broadway performers is like handing a 5 year old a firehose and telling him to extinguish a high rise fire... Its' not going to happen, and anyone with a functioning brain understands!
