[ARMY OFFICER (from beyond the barricade)]
You at the barricade listen to this
The people of Paris sleep in their beds
You have no chance, no chance at all
Why throw your lives away?
[ENJOLRAS]
Let us die facing our foes
Make them bleed while we can
[COMBEFERRE]
Make 'em pay through the nose
[COURFEYRAC]
Make 'em pay for every man!
[ENJOLRAS]
Let others rise to take our place
Until the earth
Is free!
[The final battle commences. All the revolutionaries except Marius and Valjean die.]
After Marius and Enjolras are shot, the scene goes dark and you can’t see what’s happening until the action stops, then the light comes back and everyone’s dead. The genuine fear for them in the darkness, followed by the sudden punch of seeing their fallen bodies, is very effective. But the version I saw recently tugs the heartstrings just as hard in the other direction. Marius goes down the same way, but then Enjolras is hit by cannonfire and actually tumbles forward off the barricade to the unseen side as the others shout in dismay. Then, each boy in turn is highlighted by a diagonal spotlight as shots ring out one by one, falling as the light switches to someone else. To me, it gives the impression that they’re being picked off by snipers, making each individual death more impactful and meaningful as the sequence is drawn out.
That is very darn sad!
please go through all your old comments and add trigger warnings for cases like this where you use swears
All those brave young men died in the gun battle.
