The Finale | Valjean's Death | Epilogue | Les Miserables | Screen Bites

[@mayawitty9480]

At 2:08 when Marius puts Cosette on his lap I BALL. He loves her so much and she’s hurting so much. He doesn’t know what to do so he just hugs her

[@SeekinOne]

I have never noticed the look Fantine gives Cosette at 2:00. A mother looking proudly at her daughter she practically gave her life for. This song get's me every time...

[@mbradfield53]

It makes me cry especially when I watch it at the West End musical 😢. Cosette is the photo if Les Mis

Colm Wilkinson played Valjean in the 10th anniversary. Here, he's the bishop. The old Valjean begets the new Valjean, which is a nice touch.

[@jennidoesherbest]

Especially because the friggin way they framed it, their looks to each other are the thread from that priests kindness all the way to Cossettes life. It breaks my heart every time.

[@GeometricMason]

Keep in mind that in this scene, the Bishop is the Personification of God just as Fantine is Valjean's personal angel of death.

[@chuckclark4160]

I cannot watch this scene without tearing up. There is a universal appeal to this scene, to the whole movie. 2 of the most human emotions are love and the desire for freedom. This movie, from beginning to end, summarizes both love for others and the desire for the desire for freedom.

You arent human if you don't cry when Valjean says, "A man who only learned to love, when you were in his keeping"

"To love another person is to see the face of God." That line gets me every time. It perfectly sums up what both spirituality and humans' capacities to love each other should be. Victor Hugo was an absolute genius.

I watch this clip whenever I wanna feel something. there hasn't been a time where I haven't cried to this. always sobbing when fantine and the bishop give those sympathetic look to jv..and always chills when we get that final barricade shot. that final shot feels so universal. oppression is such a universal element of the human condition which is why LM has been able to strike a chord with so many. as long as there are martyrs to pay homage to, the spirit of revolution will never die in vain.

[@chrissymousseau6699]

[@joshjorissen9656]

When life rips my emotions to threads, I'll use this movie to let it all out and have a good cleansing cry. Since 2012 I've seen it at least 10-15 times. I needed this scene today. Valjean's death hits me the hardest. Well done Hugh.

[@phamloan8398]

Anne Hathaway’s voice is perfect for the role of a mother.

[@JavertRA]

I think it works better with it being the Bishop there at the end rather than Eponine; he set Valjean on the right path after all, whilst Valjean barely knows who Eponine is.

[@littlemissdiamond12]

You are right, but the harmony on "to salvation" is beautiful, so...

[@GeometricMason]

I interpret this as Fantine (not Eponine) being Valjean's personal angel of death and the bishop being the Personification of God.

[@scottishjedi1522]

It brings the story full circle. The Bishop is the one who ‘bought his soul for god’ and urged him to become a better man. It’s fitting that as Valjean ascends to heaven he’s greeted by the man who set him on the path to redemption.

[@shwheat6315]

despite the sins jean valjean has commited earlier he has indeed redeemed himself and earned his place in heaven. Just hope one day when i die i get to see my loved ones in the afterlife the ending to les miserable is a great example

No one earns their place in heaven. It is a free gift offered to everyone by God. There's nothing anyone can do to earn God's mercy, Jesus already did all the work 2,000 years ago. All we have to do is accept it

[@heliedecastanet1882]

The story of Jean Valjean is precisely the story of a man who committed no sin. In his young age, poor, unemployed, starving, he stole one bread, and for this reason he was sent to a penal colony for decades. Les Misérables is a story about injustice, not sin. And at the end, Valjean can die not because he has found redemption, but because through Cosette, he has succeeded in doing justice to the most vulnerable victim of all the book : Fantine. And he understands that this was the meaning of his life.

French Version: Jean Valjean: I no longer depart alone. I am happy To see your smile again, Now I at last may die. Cosette: You will live, Papa, you're going to live I want you to live, Listen to me! Valjean: Yes Cosette, You forbid me to die I will try to obey. On this page, I write my soul's confession And the secrets that you would want to know. It's the story, of a man who loved you so, He confided in you his life Before he disappeared. Fantine: Come with me, Where chains will never bind you. Let me guide you Towards supreme happiness. Lord in Heaven, look down on him in mercy. Valjean: Forgive me all my trespasses And take me to your kingdom. Fantine & Eponine: Take my hand, And come into his glory. Take the love, Which shines when life is fading. Fantine, Eponine, & Valjean: And remember, the truths within your prayer To love another person Is to be near God on Earth. Company: For the will of the people, None can extinguish our voice, And so the song will ring out forever, As it had so long before, We wish that our light will Penetrate the mask of night, To illuminate our land And to change our lives. The glorious day will come. When on its way to the ideal, Mankind will progress from evil to good And from falsehoods to truth. A dream may yet die, But hope lives on forever! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong for humanity? For every fallen barricade, one hundred more will soon arise, For the will of the people, We hear the sound of distant drums, Announcing the future that they bring when tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong for humanity? For every fallen barricade, one hundred more will soon arise, For the will of the people, We hear the sound of distant drums, Announcing the future that they bring when tomorrow comes! Ah! Tomorrow comes!

It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise They will live again in freedom In the garden of the Lord We will walk behind the ploughshare We will put away the sword The chain will be broken And all men will have their reward Will you join in our crusade?
