Very minor point here, but has anyone else noticed the irony of Hugh Jackman, who also played P.T. Barnum, having the line “This is a factory, not a circus”? Jack of all trades, indeed. Very well done to all the actors!
A tiny but great point. Love both movies musically and story wise. Les Miserables is objectively the better musically movie of the two but the greatest showman still has excellent music and that movie reminds me of we bought a zoo a good kids movie and panic at the disco has excellent reimagings of the greatest showmans soundtracks and songs.
Three well known musical actors here, Kate Fleetwood (London Road - Olivier award winner) as the main factory girl, Hannah Waddingham (Spamalot) as one of the other girls and Michael Jibson (OLC King George in Hamilton) as the Foreman,
Bessie Carter who plays the mean woman is now in Bridgerton as Prudence Featherington! Funny how two of my favorite shows (Bridgerton and Ted Lasso) are represented here.
Anne Hathaway was magnificent here. In a short scene she was able to show the audience was going to happen to Fantine. She knew the second her secret was revealed, it was the end for her, and she portrayed that anguish so well.
I love how the guy below me talks about a musical that no one sings... yet he probably can't. This cast was singing no problem. There videos of it. Do your fact checking...
At the end of the day you're another day older And that's all you can say for the life of the poor It's a struggle, it's a war And there's nothing that anyone's giving One more day standing about, what is it for? One day less to be living At the end of the day you're another day colder And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill And the righteous hurry past They don't hear the little ones crying And the plague is coming on fast, ready to kill One day nearer to dying! At the end of the day there's another day dawning And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise Like the waves crash on the sand Like a storm that'll break any second There's a hunger in the land There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and There's gonna be hell to pay At the end of the day! At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing Sitting flat on your bum doesn't buy any bread There are children back at home And the children have got to be fed And you're lucky to be in a job And in a bed! And we're counting our blessings! Have you seen how the Foreman is fuming today? With his terrible breath and his wandering hands? It's because little Fantine won't give him his way Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands! And the boss, he never knows That the Foreman is always on heat If Fantine doesn't look out Watch how she goes She'll be out on the street! At the end of the day it's another day over With enough in your pocket to last for a week Pay the landlord, pay the shop Keep on working as long as you're able Keep on working 'til you drop Or it's back to the crumbs off the table You've got to pay your way At the end of the day! And what have we here, little innocent sister? Come on, Fantine, let's have all the news! Dear Fantine, you must send us more money Your child needs a doctor There's no time to lose Give that letter to me It is none of your business With a husband at home And a bit on the side! Is there anyone here Who can swear before God She has nothing to fear? She has nothing to hide? What is this fighting all about? Someone tear these two apart This is a factory, not a circus! Come on, ladies, settle down I am the Mayor of this town I run a business of repute Deal with this, Foreman Be as patient as you can Yes, Monsieur Madeline I might have known the bitch could bite I might have known the cat had claws I might have guessed your little secret Ah, yes, the virtuous Fantine Who keeps herself so pure and clean You'd be the cause I had no doubt Of any trouble hereabout You play a virgin in the light But need no urgin' in the night She's been laughing at you While she's having her men She'll be nothing but trouble again and again You must sack her today Sack the girl today! Right, my girl. On your way!
That shot of Russel Crowe looking at Valjean that got turned into a meme that was huge on tumblr is honestly so hilarious when you consider the extra context that John Oliver bought that vest and gave it to a Blockbuster in Alaska.
i want to know who the older actress is on the right at 'At the end of the day she'll be nothing but trouble'. She was great. Feel like it might have been something like Dr Who.
It's either English is nether your first language or you have no musical background. Possibly from a home where the only outlet to music was off the internet. *)
the tempo & sense of urgency of the song is moreso reflective of the pervasive angst of the era and the plight for survival, as well as the tension that builds around this pivotal scene than about the literal time of day. Then again, even beyond this they would all have prob. been eager to get out of there, having had enough of that creepy foreman for the day.
I can see how there'd be resentment against the managers, they're not the ones actually doing the productive labor. Haven't quite figured out how to make that position actually useful yet (and it seems like most companies today haven't yet either). I say this as someone who literally just got a manager role and is trying to not be this guy
I haven’t watched this film or listened to it’s soundtrack since I saw it in December 2012 and I forgot how annoying it was the they kept snipping out lines from the songs, and Valjean’s “I run a business of repute, I am the mayor of this town” just gets flipped for…what reason? And the awkward cut where he just trails off and doesn’t even finish the song HELP
feel your point, and would prefer they don't also, but in this particular example must say the technique was effective on multiple levels. Actually this pivotal scene overall is one of the most compelling and well-executed in the entire film IMO.
Listening to the 25th anniversary show and then seeing this movie, it's the most jarring thing ever when Hugh Jackman starts "singing". It completes takes you out of it
Everyone talked about how bad Russell Crowe's voice was in this film and while Crowe wasn't very good, I thought Hugh Jackman was worse. His voice is SO nasal and pinched that I can't believe people think he's a good singer. He never was. His voice is not pleasant to listen to.
Well, why couldn’t he just be monsieur madeleine? Y’all know napoleon’s about to throne and he’ll release all the prisoners anyways. Since Jean Valjean thought he committed no crime, why obey the unfair and ungrounded laws?
Love this production. But my favorite thing about it is Russell Crowe CAN ACTUALLY RIDE. No! I'm an actress who got to train horses for my day job (instead of waiting tables); trust me when I tell you waiting tables is more lucrative. If only the horses wrote the checks.
I love this musical. And I love Tom Hooper's King's Speech ... but the styles do not work. Cinematographically, these wide angle anamorphic shots refracting the images, the quick cuts, the 70s style vertigo zoom/dolly shots make this feel so disconnected.
Anne Hathaway literally can sing and act she's a theater kid her whole life! Look up her singing other songs, beside the point is acting and emotions Not how perfect you sing lol
Having a child out of wedlock was a big deal back then. They thought it was bringing shame on the company. In the book they were also just trying to find an excuse to get rid of her as they were jealous of her good looks
@@trinrichards235 no, she wasn't. The book is very clear about it. She realised being pregnant when the father and his friends left a letter saying their families wanted them back to build up their future careers. She is considered the actual stereotype of unmarried mother at that time in the world literature.
But the foreman is obviously a complete scumbag who daily objectifies all of them from a position of power, and Fantine is the scapegoat, likely due to her enforcing boundaries and all the other women being resentful of her self-respect and paranoid of how the foreman’s potential reaction to her refusal could affect their own safety (the second is a more valid instinct but they could’ve found another solution without bullying Fantine). It’s a similar mindset to blaming a woman for “stealing” a married/partnered man’s attention instead of holding him accountable for being respectful and staying true to his previous commitments.
imagine reading or watching les miserables and your takeaway being "ah yes, a whole story about the plight and struggle of the working class in industrial France, but at least they had the gold standard. i am a libertarian and i cannot be within 500 feet of school grounds"
@@user-ch5qd3uz3l Ironically Friedrich Engels pursued relationships with prole women, like French grisettes and Irish women who worked in Manchester's textile factories. His friend Karl Marx didn't approve of Engels's taste in women, since his wife Jenny was the daughter of a baron.
I think Anne Hathaway did a great job as Fantine but I think her character is not very smart, she could've complained about the foreman to the boss and she shouldn't have left Cossette with those scallywags.
lmao you think if a whole factory turns on you, you can reason yourself out? they wouldn't even let her see the boss. also the foreman just wants sex from her
@@EssexEx We, the audience know Jean is a good man. Fontaine would have no reason to have this insight into his character. Her daily interactions are with the foreman.
Exactly. The intensity and precision with which Hathaway delivers at this critical point in the story is riveting, one of her finest moments in this or any film IMO.
I mean yeah France was literally starving so I don’t know what else anyone would like. The only people that could even possibly eat enough to gain weight were the wealthy
I love this song and the scene but these women were so vile. I keep asking myself, why couldn't they just leave Fantine alone and mind their business 😅
@@sarahberkner. It's the question if Communism would has brought it us too. Capitalism has brought us many things, not because it is actually better, but simply because we and hardly everybody lives in a capitalistic country. The same statement could has been made about monarchy some centuries ago.
Am I the only one not convinced by Anne Hathaways performance? I felt like they casted her for the stardom around her. Especially the "I dreamed a dream"-sequence - there is so little nuance, it is just a "I am feeling horrible"-seance - no fighting, no real objective.

Honestly out of many made to screen musicals. This is definitely the best, all thanks to the chorus. Every small part was a big win.
"This is a factory, not a circus" -P.T. Barnum
Three well known musical actors here, Kate Fleetwood (London Road - Olivier award winner) as the main factory girl, Hannah Waddingham (Spamalot) as one of the other girls and Michael Jibson (OLC King George in Hamilton) as the Foreman,
Fleetwood delivers a compelling performance here, she & Hathaway essentially nailed their roles in this pivotal scene.
Oh my GOD, how did I not notice Hannah Waddingham? She's about six feet tall and very imposing, so she stands out!
Bessie Carter who plays the mean woman is now in Bridgerton as Prudence Featherington! Funny how two of my favorite shows (Bridgerton and Ted Lasso) are represented here.
Who is the older lady? She does a great job with her facials!
This song is too real. "At the end of the day you're another day older. That's all you can say for the life of the poor."
Those workers just couldn’t mind their own business
Possibility no one will notice this... the bonnet that Fantine wears is historically accurate! Well done! You will never find anything better!
I love Anne Hathaway's dress in this act
When JV first sees Javert after those years… I’m sure he was thinking… “does he know it’s me?!”
I was today years old when I learned that Hannah Waddingham is in this scene.
Where?

At the end of the day you're another day older
And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
It's a struggle, it's a war
And there's nothing that anyone's giving
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living
At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don't hear the little ones crying
And the plague is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!
At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There's gonna be hell to pay
At the end of the day!
At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
Sitting flat on your bum doesn't buy any bread
There are children back at home
And the children have got to be fed
And you're lucky to be in a job
And in a bed!
And we're counting our blessings!
Have you seen how the Foreman is fuming today?
With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
And the boss, he never knows
That the Foreman is always on heat
If Fantine doesn't look out
Watch how she goes
She'll be out on the street!
At the end of the day it's another day over
With enough in your pocket to last for a week
Pay the landlord, pay the shop
Keep on working as long as you're able
Keep on working 'til you drop
Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
You've got to pay your way
At the end of the day!
And what have we here, little innocent sister?
Come on, Fantine, let's have all the news!
Dear Fantine, you must send us more money
Your child needs a doctor
There's no time to lose
Give that letter to me
It is none of your business
With a husband at home
And a bit on the side!
Is there anyone here
Who can swear before God
She has nothing to fear?
She has nothing to hide?
What is this fighting all about?
Someone tear these two apart
This is a factory, not a circus!
Come on, ladies, settle down
I am the Mayor of this town
I run a business of repute
Deal with this, Foreman
Be as patient as you can
Yes, Monsieur Madeline
I might have known the bitch could bite
I might have known the cat had claws
I might have guessed your little secret
Ah, yes, the virtuous Fantine
Who keeps herself so pure and clean
You'd be the cause I had no doubt
Of any trouble hereabout
You play a virgin in the light
But need no urgin' in the night
She's been laughing at you
While she's having her men
She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
You must sack her today
Sack the girl today!
Right, my girl. On your way!
4:00 those factory workers are such Karens. They all have that look on their faces.

Do you think that deep down she did feel a bit of empathy for Fantine I think she actually did in a way

Having a child out of wedlock was a big deal back then. They thought it was bringing shame on the company. In the book they were also just trying to find an excuse to get rid of her as they were jealous of her good looks
