This actually happened to my grandfather, he was wounded before the end of the war so he spent time at a hospital. Later, a few days before the end of the war, his division went to battle without him and got absolutely annihilated at Rijeka in April 1945. All his friends from the war died there, yet he was still alive and never said goodbye to them.

@@Royasloalce123321 There is a main difference between the war veterans and those kids who were kill in many part of the world fighting for change the world through a "Revolution". Those kids were not there because someone (the state) payed them. Neither , were there obeying orders or they had a instructions of how to kill. Those kids were there because they love Freedom, and hate the injustice and they did not only fight for them , also for the people, the poor , the most vulnerable. In Latinoamerica they were called Revolucionarios.

@@arturopoppe6984 That's exactly it. I don't mean to disregard the pain of a war veteran, but comparing it to Les Mis is inaccurate. My father was part of the socialist movement back in the 70s and 80s in Iran and participated in both the revolution against the tyrannical Shah and the Islamic republic after him. He fell in love with my mum and managed to escape before they tried to kill him, but almost all his friends died. They were all university students at the time. This song always hits so close to home for our family and my dad still lives with survivors guilt. Bottom line, they did not get trained on how to kill nor were they paid. The people who died were children who just wanted to live in a better world.

Now he needs to be the Doctor. If he ever does, which I'm doubting, cause none of the actors I think that have the presence to swing playing the Doctor probably never won't, but if he did, he'd finally be ginger. He has the mannerisms of Matt Smiths Doctor, but not erratic like 11 was, he'd be the opposite, calm, kind, and quite awkward at certain human interactions. He could use this to his advantage toward enemies. Even Fantastic Beasts gave me a Doctor Who vibe, the plot alone.

I still to this day don't understand how Eddie was so overlooked awards-wise for this movie! In general he made me care about Marius more than I ever really had in the stage show, and this scene especially just... it guts me. Really, really hard. Don't get me wrong, Anne was absolutely amazing with her part and I Dreamed a Dream, but I honestly feel like Eddie's performance got to me just as much. You just feel every ounce of Marius' sadness and grief in your bones. And now I really need to see Theory of Everything! He's just an incredible actor, he really is :)

I did not know anything about Les Mis prior to seeing this movie when it came out. Didn't know the story...at all. In fact, three minutes into the movie, I'm sitting in the theater thinking to myself, "This is a musical on film. Am I going to like this???" At the end, I was trying to figure where in my top five movies of all time I was going to place this one. I was absolutely blown away. This scene with Eddie Redmayne is one of my favorites. Stephanie mentioned another one: "I Dreamed a Dream." Let's not forget "On My Own," (Samantha Barks). But there are just so many wonderful scenes. Wow.

When I first saw "Les Miserables" on stage, I didn't like this song. I've always found it a little tiresome to get through. Usually, by the time they hit the phrase "And I can hear them now... the very words that they had sung became their last communion," most Mariuses are all-out belting and emoting like mad. It always felt like a bad choice, making "Empty Chairs" feel stilted, saccharine, and untrue to its subject matter. But Eddie Redmayne has completely changed my mind about this song. At precisely the point where others charge in, he enters so softly and tenderly, as though he is hushing his own voice to listen for the half-audible conversations of the dead men who were his friends. His particular rendition makes this song the most devastating description of survivor's guilt I've ever heard.
@littlemissprickles9 жыл бұрын
Laundry Faerie I do agree with you that his rendition is probably the most emotional (and my favorite), but I also can understand belting it out at that part It's like a desperate cry for someone else to hear them too, as though Marius is now speaking for them, making their voices heard. It's actually been my favorite song since I first heard it, which I am embarrassed to admit was the Nick Jonas version, but that's just how much I like the entire message.

For me the stage show was more powerful I think because you see the magnitude of his loss... literally everyone he’s known since boyhood is standing there silently, just staring at him.

There's a grief that can't be spoken. There's a pain goes on and on. Phantom faces at the windows. Phantom shadows on the floor. Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will meet no more.

I love this rendition of the song and I love how Eddie portrayed Marius. When he remembers his friends and he smiles, you can see how sad and broken he is. I love how he almost whispers some words, as if it was too painful to say them out loud. "Oh my friends, my friends, forgive me that I live and you are gone" this line breaks my heart every single time. His voice cracks from the pain, he's overwhelmed by guilt. He looks around the room, incredulous, he's only starting to realise he will never see those faces full of life and hope again, the flames in their eyes and the fire in their hearts are out. "Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for" he will never stop asking himself it it was really worth it; he will always feel undeserving of outliving Eponine, Enjolras, Grantaire, Gavroche and the others. And he's horrified. How can he live with that? It's a heavy burden. This scene feels so real. Hats off to everyone involved in its making, especially Eddie. I can't put into words how wonderful this is. Yes, it's different from the stage version, and thank god it is. Only cinema could allow this level of intimacy and vulnerability.

Singing helps to get emotions out, it heals so much more than any word could ever do. It's a way of expression, he's letting everything out. He's crying for the loss of his friends, he's devastated and angry. She shows him he's not alone only by being present. Sometimes that's what you need the most.

Oh please stop the Cosette hate already. Stop hating her just because she's in Eponine's way. I'm telling you, I did help a friend once that was ir mourning. And believe me, just letting him spit all his emotions out while you do nothing and just wait for him to be better is the best thing to do.

I think not having his friends show up just adds to the realism of the scene. To to have him sing "Phantom faces...phantom shadows", especially with that prominent empty space behind him; it certainly made it feel, for me at least, the emptiness that Marius has in his life now that his friends are no longer there to occupy it. In musicals, they can get away with certain stage directing, such as adding his dead friends on stage and it makes sense. Here, the director wanted to have a more real tone to the film, so adding "supernatural" scenes would take away the ''realness'' that Tom Hooper wanted, and saving the emotional reveal of the spirits of those who died at the barricades for the end. Leaving the lasting impression that all is not lost and those that had died are going to a better place.

Samantha Beaudry Jean Valjean was not a revolutionist, this story fallowed several story lines that all entangled together, Jean Valjean was a man with an unlucky mark who was hiding behind a curtain of made up identities to protect himself and Cosette. The only reason why he was with the revolutionists in the end was to get Marius away from them to save his life, Jean Valjean wanted a son and Cosette was in love with Marius, so he saved him. But he was in no way a revolutionist, maybe a rebel, but for the most part he was silent in his beliefs.

I feel like they missed a great opportunity to have the image of his friends fade in and out. In a version of the stage play that I saw, it opens with Marius in the Café, then he stepped forward as the curtains closed. The next time the curtain opened, a big handful of his friends were sitting in the Café (Notably Eponine, Enjloras, and Gravoche.) as he continues singing. The curtain closes, and during the final few bars the curtain opens again to find the café once again empty and ripped apart.

Honestly, this was probably the second best solo in the movie, slightly better than Barks' "On My Own" and below Hathaway's "I Dreamed a Dream." It's better than Jackman's "Bring Him Home" and Crowe's "Stars." Other than that odd lip quiver, I think Redmayne was one of the best performers in the movie, he and Tveit are awesome when they sing together.
