Like, Comment and Subscibe for more scenes/the whole movie (:

[@amelianannette972]

People really don't credit Anne Hathaway for how HARD it is to sing on key while full on crying and sobbing. I've tried, and it is HARD.

[@LethiaPage]

this is what i was thinking too!

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

+DancesWithBeauty well, she won the Oscar for this, so I think many people appreciated it.

[@motives88]

+DancesWithBeauty 100% She outdid so many professional singers and actors with this scene!

[@Chevalierjay]

+DancesWithBeauty even if it was not on key she was still doing a very fantastic job!

[@ajarproject4021]

+DancesWithBeauty This was an amazing performance she owned this role

[@derekdwhite]

This one scene single-handedly won her the Oscar. Utterly brilliant. I still have no idea how she managed to embody the emotion of the song so well while still staying on pitch and not utterly breaking down in tears. Anne Hathaway could be our generation's Meryl Streep.

[@mjrulez1011]

So basically "The Devil Wears Prada" had last generation's best actress (Streep) being utterly amazed by the sudden best thing that will take her throne for the next (Hathaway)

[@thefluffysmashley]

This reminds me of Jennifer Hudson's "and I am telling you" performance in dreamgirls. Not that they're similar, but that they are both performances that really make the movies they're in. Like, whew, soo much emotion.

[@Momo-er3nd]

Derek White

[@hannahfontana8340]

And she’s pretty

[@ivanbrocko]

Next Meryl Streep ? Naah, no. But well deserved Oscar. In 2019 I would say SAOIRSE RONAN is the next Meryl Streep. 3 Oscar nominations and still only 25 years old.

[@ViaNocturna85]

When someone can make a musical number sound like a real story, and make you believe it's a true story about their own life...then they are true artists

[@jorgemacias4006]

yeah... right....''only then''

[@ViaNocturna85]

Not only then, but it's a good sign of a true artist

[@LeeliMs]

It's so true right? :'(

[@safariforfunofsoul7971]

@ Arthur M - what you said is so true and moving - I would include it in a Book of Quotes

[@jpalpharo4304]

Arthur M I feel the song has a very French type of melody when she sings the Main chorus

[@CharlieKay92]

I'm not a huge Hathaway fan, but I do believe this Oscar was deserved.The skill it takes to push through tears and sing without sounding a horrid mess alone, got my full devotion to Anne in this scene. Like her or not, this is amazing

[@jenaallen9818]

What's even more amazing is her dedication to the role. could you imagine living on one disk of leftover oatmeal per day? she had to appear to be dying. i think she achieved the look. yikes!

[@georgetheofanous6792]

Well said, Charlie.

[@abirfarhat4260]

Totally agree ! She did it perfectly !

[@markuse3472]

Those tears come from leaving eyes open longer than usual. Any one can tear up well when doing this. More so, she looks very pretty here and when people are good looking they tend to find much appeal in them and for that they Appear more talented than what they really are. This is science, fact. Even so, I believe she did better than many others who are not very talented but win awards just because they have a name.

[@fortifarse]

Markus E - she looks pretty here?!? What video did you just watch??

[@bhenry411]

aaaaand that's how you win an Oscar in under five minutes. Incredible.

[@kloud8447]

I want to lose my memory just to get to experience watching this again for the first time..

[@castorworm6089]

I've actually never seen titanic... ;_;

[@kloud8447]

*TITANIC??!!* you should be ashamed... Like, _wt actual f?_ This aint titanic, this is *Les Miserables.* Musical of the famous book about France pre-revolution. When things sucked basically.

[@castorworm6089]

[@castorworm6089]

nOO

[@kloud8447]

You did.. But it's alright, now you know. *Never make the same mistake.* This woman got an oscar over this scene.. They should give her another Oscar. This scene made me cry so much.. How horrible her life had turned out..

[@mythics102]

I didn't know Anne Hathaway was such an incredible theater singer, jeez.

[@smilealwaysnatasha3423]

July Myers well most actors are trained in all tyoes of arts and dance.

[@CafeDeDuy]

2 years late response. She was classically trained. Also her mother played the same role in the first US broadway tour

[@lolaneneq9263]

It was her version. She's a good actress. Crying, acting and singing at the same time is really difficult.

[@guccibodybags7584]

Not that hard

[@ahtartersauce101]

Anne Hathaway should have a new Oscar same-day air shipped to her every time I cry to this scene.

[@ballin4th]

this is the comment i was looking for!!

[@Hannah-nl5qq]

fun fact: she got this on the first take and it had Hugh Jakcman in tears behind the camera

[@irvinnguyen6485]

That is truly how good this performance is

[@hamiltontrash9255]

Wasn't it on the 4th take

[@kathrynshreeve9367]

thanks

[@GekkoKamen]

Not only Hugh Jackman in tears, mine ones make me know for good.

[@nic871]

This is actually not true. According to Hathaway they did about twenty takes, but went with the fourth one. The director told AH that she nailed it on the fourth, but she wanted to keep going. Not sure about the Jackman part.

[@SJMJ91]

You could really tell Anne got so emotionally involved with the song whilst singing it, especially 2:28 and 3:44-3:51. Really captured the heartbreak and tragic downfall of the character. Also amazing how she did this whilst the vast majority was shot in a single take.

[@ArtificialMeat]

I love how it says in the description "I do not own any rights to this song", but then there's a big watermark on the video that says the channel username, "lipglozgirl".

[@emmaarriaga4799]

I don't get why she gets so much hate for it she is just amazing and every time I hear her sing this it brings me to tears she portrays her character so amazing cause she focused on reality and I think she did amazing

[@shaenguito6467]

They hate her cuz they ain't her XD

[@HazeFTMO]

she got hate for her award speeches (for whatever reason) during this year, not so much for her performance in this film

[@da96103]

They hated her for the pre-oscar behaviour. But she had redeemed herself after the Wrecking Ball lip sync battle.

[@jimcaunter4111]

and had her hair shorn for the part - during the making of the film.

[@donaldswafford6987]

She's just slightly short of being a national treasure ... people who don't realize that are just sad

[@jimtorguson7913]

She played a dying prostitute. She sang it as a dying prostitute. Most honest, best version of the song, ever.

[@JoDee172]

A dying prostitute who's lost her child and doesn't what will happen to him

[@patriciablopez]

PEOPLE it only took one take to make this scene

[@freedfg6694]

And it only takes one take for a Broadway performer to make an entire play.

[@Ashlynnnnk]

+Freedfg but they do it over and over beforehand

[@freedfg6694]

Ashlynn Kirkland Yeah? and you think that Anne Hathaway didn't practice the piece? You don't think she went over it with a voice trainer? Just face it. This is only as impressive as a musician doing a concert.....except it is one song. And you don't have to do it again.

[@Ashlynnnnk]

+Freedfg ? Practicing in a dressing room isnt the same as practising before a take buddy

[@freedfg6694]

but it is no more impressive than performing night after night without mistake.

[@aliciamaria6321]

Have men ever seen a woman cry this kind of cry? NO it happens alone.. it wasn't overdone.. that's EXACTLY what that kind of sadness looks like.. you can't even breath, you look and feel psycho and your heart is torn #depresso101

[@Knickerson]

I would offer that yes, some men have been fortunate to have seen the deep sadness in women, and vice versa. It's happened when trust exists.

[@sonofmumf9082]

Interesting comment you make here!, a female freind told me she cried every week of her life & her girl freinds did the same, she never really explained why & all the sympathy in the world from me (a man) made little difference.. So what's a Man supposed to do??..

[@StickyRice43]

i have had that cry :/ it gets soo bad i can't breathe sometimes. and it really is alone. i had to run around the whole house, check if every room was free of people, and once i knew the coast is clear, i just let loose and cry my heart and soul out. and i sure as hell can't sing like that in normal conditions let alone a huffy balled up teary eyed mess like she was in. her huffs and puffs and screams gave that sense of her being in real believable pain, but she still balances it out with actual beautiful professional singing to. it gave me goosebumps.if people are trying to compare this to a real person cry singing, i'd say this would be a pretty mellowed down version, so i don't understand why some people feel like she's over-acting.

[@ZmudaVision]

sonofmumf Men are by inheritance fixers and therefore wish to Do, But sometimes you must only listen.

[@ZmudaVision]

@Alicia Maria, How are you to know what men have seen? Such a bold statement but with a narrow view. Men have feelings! Men cry alone! Are they not subject to the most magnificent horrors imaginable. Women are of feeling but Men are of Logic and when Logic abandons there can be no greater hurt.

[@xjinshin]

There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung No wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hopes apart As they turn your dreams to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather! I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now, from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

Hunter Wilder chiffmonkey means that the whole song was filmed within one take not that it took only one take to film

[@derpinderpana8830]

No. It wasn't acting. She really felt this.

[@voidify3]

I mean, in the entire genre of musical theatre the whole show is done as a "one take" thing; 5 minutes in a single shot is nothing compared to 3 hours with no room at ALL to say "wait, fuck, reshoot". Not knocking screen actors, they're every bit as valuable to the arts as stage actors and Anne's performance in this was indeed very impressive, but all I'm saying is screen actors only have to do the thing right once while we have to do it right every night with no ctrl+z's allowed

[@Heropadopa]

IKR!!!

[@mzmoemission6256]

Susan Boyle is exact and theatrical in her rendition however; Anne Hathaway brought the emotional element required to convey Fantine's pain. Never lose that fact that this song is a social commentary, not a vocal competition. But more importantly this song is meant to be, Fantine's voice. And Fantine is too broken down and defeated by life, to be vocally ambitious. With that in mind, it is my opinion Anne Hathaway deserves as much credit as Ms Boyle, if not more. There is no shortage of outstanding, vocal technicans in this world however; the ability to musically transalate emotion, in the tone and of the mood as dictated by the musical piece, plus be a great singer, is in short supply. Perfection, in my opinion, will be a duet between both Anne Hathaway and Ms Susan Boyle. This is an open discussion, do please feel free to render our opinion.

[@hernan2907]

The song has been sang in different contexts and in each one it glowed. You cannot pretend that Susan Boyle sings this song in BBT the way Anne Hathaway sang it in the musical it would have been out of context and therefore it would have felt fake. Both were fantastic

[@minkyj1]

I know him so well

[@Howlingburd19]

Susan Boyle is overrated as hell. This is MUCH better, and more moving in every single way possible

[@ivanclaysburgh]

I have always loved this musical/song, but this movie really puts it into perspective. A lot of people will gripe about Hathaway's singing and acting, but I will always ask them this: Have you ever felt like you were hated? Ever felt neglected, abused? Ever felt like you could never be forgiven for all the horrible stuff you have done to yourself and to others? Well, that's how Fantine feels, that's how every woman in her position feels, who has to sell their body for money. There is no enjoyment, no reward, only sadness and despair. And they know there is no man out there who be different from the last one, who doesn't have a second agenda with her, who will ever be that golden knight who will fight for her soul and dignity. THAT'S what makes this scene great, and that is why I as a man will always cry.

[@AnGeLoUs07]

My God, what civilized fella! A man who truly understand the human spirit and its object. Bravo to you, Nathan Stone

[@Sam-lb8xs]

I could not have said it better, myself! Like you, I have long enjoyed this song and this musical, but the "realistic" acting really does bring into account the pain and injustice that women like Fantine have suffered. Unlike the polished, pretty performances of "I Dreamed a Dream" in theatres and concert halls, this really packs a punch! In reality, Fantine would likely be too broken and despondent to care about how she sounds and the anguish of this young, unmarried mother who has suffered due to forces mainly beyond her control is just heartbreaking. Like you, as a man, I am touched and yet shaken at this portrayal of the cruelty of life; she was a street child, had no idea who her family was, she fell in love with a callous student who broke her heart and left her pregnant without any support. And she's become a sex-slave whose daughter is her only reason to live. Her dreams for a brighter future have been shattered as thoroughly as her heart and soul. And the struggling sobs, the trembling voice, the twisted face, the difficulty breathing from feeling like your heart is a being crushed, I've experienced similar pain. I know those sensations. And I still can't understand how anybody (gay, straight, bi, what have you) can destroy another person in this manner with hardly a thought.

[@BigAlvideos101]

Her Oscar was well-earned! I would've given it to her for this scene alone!

[@bookerjones8123]

I think that's pretty much what she got it for.

[@RyGuylegos]

Yeah. She was only on screen for like 15-20 minutes total

[@Stuarts84]

Didn't care much for the film, but this single scene made it worth to watch.

[@1974dormouse]

Stuarts84 and this scene kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z323d6yplsmBnLc

[@CockpumpVideo]

Top lady..top actress..top performer.. I am humbled by her performance

[@jimcaunter4111]

OH YES> Indeed.

[@newguy120]

Something a lot of people fail to understand about this version in relation to others is that in the film they changed the placement of the song, and thus the context of the acting. In the standard musical, the song is placed well before her prostitution. Fantine uses the song to come to the conclusion her life has been wasted, and is now worthless. Thus, she dedicates what's left of it to provide for her daughter-- regardless of how. It's a song of strength that propels her into prostitution. Whereas in the film, this song is placed later and is used purely as a means of mourning and coping over how wronged she's been. Anne Hathaway is a wonderful actress and it's performed beautifully; but people have to realize that due to the context this is ultimately a different song than all other versions of "I Dreamed A Dream". Whichever version is better for Fantine's character is completely up to the individual. I personally prefer the former as it shows so much strength and gives me such respect for Fantine's character, but again that is due strictly to the context of the song, NOT to the value of the performance. So yeah :) Anne Hathaway is wonderful ^_^

[@gingersnaps2930]

naa. I dont think it mattered as much. she is mourning a lost love. so be it before or after she had to sell body, she knew her future was already destined to be hard. look at the resolute face she had by 4:25. it was the face of acceptance of her lot.

[@titusonetwo]

I though the placement made more sense here. And I can see that it had a little bit different connotation, but I agree with Ginger, that her strength is still evident.

[@bondjames8225]

I love the musical and I thought the moive was good but had major problems. But this scene alone was worth the price of admission.

[@supastar25]

I don't always care much for musicals but this one scene made me appreciate the talent it takes to pull something like this off. Now I can't get enough of musicals! Absolutely beautiful and she deserved the Oscar.

[@mchras]

This scene always make be bawl my eyes out. Anne Hathway, you're amazing ❤️

[@JordanVanRyn]

I don't get why people hate on such a talented, beautiful actress like Anne. She portrayed Fantine beautifully in this and she literally ripped my heart out during this scene.

[@KindnessWithKathy]

Okay all of you need to shut up about this being a terrible performance... Anne caught the emotion of the song AMAZINGLY. She was ON POINT!! Her version inspires me to sing this song for my talent show.

[@reesestarzec3440]

I am honestly searching for a negative comment on the scene, but they are so rare that I can GUARANTEE that anyone that says so is just trolling.

[@iamameliapond8559]

For the people saying “her singing is bad” it isn’t meant to be perfect, Hathaway said she chose to make her voice seem weak and shakey because that’s how her character was at the time, it wouldn’t have been fitting to sing the song beautifully considering how the character was feeling

[@jaah98]

Never thought I would like this film but it is amazing how it can create such emotion simply from songs. Honestly astonishing.

[@crystalbaker7325]

Exactly how I feel. I was bored so I thought I would watch it, never thought I would be moved as much as I was

[@vissuthegreat]

+John Hayes Well,that's what a great art does.Isn't it?This song is definitely one.Evoking such a huge ,spectral pattern of intense emotions.

the amazing part is that when filiming, they didn't use a studio version of these songs. They all sang it right then and there.

[@izzydelaney6863]

[@jenu1078]

How anyone can thumbs down this is beyond me, this has got to be one of the most phenomenal performances I have ever seen in my life. A beautiful and tragic song given such depth and raw emotion, it's fantastic. I've always liked Anne Hathaway, but this just puts her on a whole other level, one of the best actresses ever, hands down.

[@MarioDiLeonardo]

Couldn't agree more Jen!

[@porridge57]

Beautifully put, Jen. I reluctantly agreed to watch Les Mis, and long story short...I was reduced to a mass of raw nerves by the end. It was as you say, beautiful, tragic and raw...especially this scene. I'm so glad I was alone when I watched it. I truly cannot think of a major human theme that is NOT in this movie. I have watched this scene over and over again. I can't get over it. I may never be the same.

[@C0lbyte]

I have recently gone through some videos where there were best performance moments in movie history. This is by far the most moving and best performance i have seen. The expressions, the voice, the intense emotions. I felt like i held my breath the entire video. I SO must go rent this movie! If she can do this. Then there is nothing she cant do!

[@harrietamidala1691]

I've always loved Les Mis, but I think placing I dreamed a dream AFTER lovely ladies makes it even more powerful. The song comes just after Fantine has sex with her first customer and it leaves her full of disgust and degradation.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

And this is one of the reasons I never really got all the talk and excitement about Susan Boyle - even ignoring the part taht she, in my opinion, is a good singer with a good voice (not a great singer with an amazing voice) who never would have gotten all the attention if she looked and acted a bit more "mainstream", *this song* is all about emotion. I know people love to sing at auditions and stuff, but this song is heart break and all hopes and dreams *shattering* and being flushed down toilet, about being in the darkest of all places with no hope of it getting better - ever. So in my humble opinion, when people perform this piece on stage, in front of people, they should have the decency to give it at least *some* depth and not smile and prance around like you're just having the greatest time ever. Honestly. Thank you Anne for this touching and authentic performance.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

jaredyjaredy xD Well, I wouldn't quite put it like that, but yeah, that's pretty much the truth about how these shows work.^^

[@CourtneyLeighannaE]

its not so much about her being Incredible, it's that the country judged her by her appearance when she came on that stage and without that chance shed probably never have gotten any other chance at her "dream" . she woke us up with a perfect example of why you should never judge a book by its cover.

[@blahasuk7398]

Susan Boyle is the embodiment of this song in my opinion. She too had a dream, but ended up in her late 40's without romance. That's why her performance was so powerful. Because she chose this song. Now this is turning into a debate of Susan Boyle's quality of voice, and i simply have to state that there are much worse singers who are literally billionaires. So i think we can spare her some attention.

[@kale3563]

SingenStatt Atmen she has a very nice voice, but the fact that she had a different personality before singing is what made her so "popular".

[@SambaScramble]

I agree it's all about the emotion. Credit should also be given to the composer. The song was was very well written. I could be touched by any theatre Fantines as they have good voices and convey the emotion. Not huge on Susan Boyle either. With due respect, she has a great voice. It was enjoyable performance to watch but it was just singing, she didn't intend to tell Fantine's story. On the other hand, I think Anne did a great job. Very touching, absolutely heartbreaking. So glad it was her!

[@AnGeLoUs07]

I can tell how little people might know about human emotions and its spirit. People can´t see that the scene was meant to be like this, since she´s going through the verge of insanity, due a depression. The Victor Hugo´s novel, is based on vivid facts during the French Revolution, this woman went through rape, extreme poverty, humiliation, physical and psychological abuse in a society that was crumbling down, torn apart, where people barely had access to information or help, as we do today. Now days, you can find an inspirational or personal self-help quotes, groups or books anywhere, pretty easily, and even the families are more educated on its structure in civilized regions/countries, not all of them, but most of them are, each individual understands its role and responsibility, but back at those difficult times, people were more trapped in surviving, due the fact that they were living extreme situations and circumstances, outrageous events. Even the strongest person, that had been exposed to that unstable environmental social scenery would´ve had a break down (same as hers).

What i LOVED about Anne's performance is that she actually acted the number. Most women that sing this song even while acting the role sing it pretty. The character is dying. Life has killed the dream she dreamed. Some beautiful voices have graced this song to be sure but Anne made me believe that she was living the lyrics. Brava!

I hated her voice the first time I heard her sing this song (voice only, not the acting.) Then I heard there were Hathaway haters, and I wanted to jump on board. I hate fakers, so I was predisposed. I listened and watched her Oscar acceptance, ready to pounce (maybe I fill the role of the tiger in the song? ouch!) She was lovely and fault free. Then I watched this. Wow! Bravo Miss Hathaway! Effing bravo!

[@Starbits7]

At the theatre, during this scene, my friend & I & everyone in the room burst into tears & burst into applause. Half the theatre did a standing ovation to this. That NEVER happens. I hope Anne Hathaway truly knows how phenomenal she was in this. I know it's hard for actors to get a true sense of people's feelings because of how the media skews things but damn, I hope she knows that she was simply perfection in this movie. We get that no one could see us giving an applause to this scene but it felt like there was no other way to show our appreciation for the work AH put into this. Well done.

[@erk44]

She is my favorite character in this movie. And there were a lot of amazing characters. But I identify most with her. There is nothing I wouldn't sacrifice for my girls, nothing i wouldn't do to take care of them. It's called unconditional love and it's sad to see she was so abused when all she was trying to do was take care of her child.

YAAAAASSSSS I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Huge fan of Les MIs so i come here often. My sister showed me a compilation of his vines and that's one of my favorites!!! Don't you just love Anne Hathaway (btw happy belated birthday anne hathaway)

[@KindnessWithKathy]

STRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE! XDDDDD

[@Haylla2008]

I know... I can't watch this anymore without laughing at that part.

[@carolinedickinson2875]

When I watched this with my sister and my mom, I had to get up and leave the movie about 8 times because I was crying SOOOOOOOOOOO much!!

[@giovannagalmar9906]

Without a doubt my fave part of the entire movie... and also the musical

[@buggggggggggs]

I literally thought that the phrase "gives me chills" was just a phrase. Now I finally get it!

[@biggieboy5972]

Started crying at the “he took my childhood” part

[@dunetiger]

I loved this arrangement. The only thing I loved about this movie was this scene.

[@roysimmonds8437]

for those of you who say the crying has interfered with the song never been in love and had a broke heart cause yes that is exactly how you would react Anne captured it beautiful you want to cry scream and say it all just like that she has the craft she is the true Fantine, bravo Anne!!!

[@GessicaPimentelGlenni]

Well said.

[@CleberBattera]

This interpretation is chilling! The Oscar was well deserved. Great Anne Hathaway.

[@lilgeisha9521]

This scene definitely marked her as one of the best actors in cinematic world. She embodied the emotion, the story and the longing for a soul who was meant to be with her. And I fell in love with AH.

[@beakie74]

This is acting at its best ! Totally deserved oscar .

[@marissabieg8275]

No matter how hard I try not to cry during this scene, the passion and emotion in her voice and in the song take over my soul and it literally moves me to tears

[@MsRobert1967]

She is a world class actress and a marvelous talented singer while acting and crying,

[@leristamerello8225]

Such a heartbreaking song, she nailed it.

[@jenaallen9818]

Fantine is a truly tragic character. to do less in this role would have made her performance cartoony. Anne deserved every piece of her Oscar 10x over. However, i feel she deserved one a long time ago for Rachel Getting Married. One of my very favorites.

[@jellymary4509]

I remember how i cried when i watched this first time... Omg, then i cried like never before, really. I felt like this is a really story and in that moment i didn't think about anything else. All this movie was like a realistic dream. Wow, i really don't know what can i write about this. It's beautiful ♥

[@Pinay_Panda]

I cannot adequately put into words how much I love this musical and this rendition :)♥ so beautiful... *weeps silently*

[@riverred7946]

2:35..... WOW. Nailed it, Anne. Amazing acting. I'm blown away. Just..... WOW

[@samtawnyb2479]

I was the director of our school play which was Les Miserable my graduating year in Highschool, and Les Mis has had such an effect on me. It's such a beautiful piece of art, and this part alone will make you tear up!

[@shyztee]

So I saw Les Mis live at the Pantages in Hollywood on 5/30/2019. I was waiting to see what I knew would be the truth, my expectations were met. I've seen it live and all of the actresses have wonderful voices but that's the focus, the singing. The acting is either overkill or not enough emotionally. With that being said, this will always be Anne Hathaway's song. I didn't even realize the pain of the song until I saw this version, this is what won her the Academy Award!! No one I've seen live since has been able to live up to this version, the emotion, the delivery, nothing. Anne Hathaway's rendition is complete and perfect, Bravo!!

[@RoxanneSantori]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@gonzalodavidvazquezgonzale5796]

if the whole movie would have been done with her intensity; this would be the best musical movie ever; instead of that we just got russel crowe's: "and Im javert"

[@supastar25]

I'm off to watch Les Mis again....

[@breklein3338]

Anne Hathaway is such a genuinely good actress. You wouldn't think you were watching a play.

[@robyaknowscarpelli4693]

I am suing Ann Hathaway for the bucket of tears i lost, i went to the cinema to watch this movie and i swear during this scene you couldn't hear a pin drop.

[@1Amiel1]

This is me during Finals Week. :(

[@rad4life1]

I doubt "I dreamed a dream" sets you up for life, there is more for you to learn and do.

[@williammoore4827]

susan boyle made it but anne hathaway nailed it.

[@Nola213]

easily the best scene in this movie. The movie has few even decent scenes. But Anne Hathaway knocks this one out of the park.

[@terrenceragin5555]

This is still one of the most hauntingly and beautiful and sad songs and performance I have ever heard

[@J0ELLEx]

She took on that emotion, I don't know how she felt it so strong but that capacity for empathy says a lot about Anne as a person

[@juwaneyswrldg.1071]

I get lost in this song every time I watch this video. I look at her and I can see the pain, I listen to her and I can hear the struggle. I have to watch it all the way through every time.

[@pizzabagel195]

This is a beautiful heart wrenching adaption of this song with true emotion. Bravo to you Anne Hathaway for getting us all to feel the true meaning of the words and the pure emotion of your performance

[@Themanwhocameback2]

As the classic song puts it. "Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry?" Yes, there is. Right here.

[@BlairWaldorfBass]

I've never seen Anna Hathaway like this...

[@chelseagranger6434]

i remember when i saw this in theaters i started crying about 10 minutes in and did not stop crying until the end of it. it's more than a movie or a story, it's truly an experience. incredible acting.

[@AmyLynnRiley]

Ohhhhhh! Such a beautiful and heartfelt rendition! I was holding my breath the whole time and I could feel her anguish!! True Talent!!!!
