@@soarinskies1105 the 2012 version wasn’t even close to the best version of the musical. This movie is definitely the best acted version of It I’ve seen.
Liam is a great actor and powerful in this scene. I regret that he made so many action films and didn't take more dramatic roles like this to show his tremendous talent and range.
This is my fav version of Les Mis. To do this, ruin his life, as the prosecutor keeps saying, is selfless and so very brave. He had it all and he did the right thing, giving it all up for a stranger. He knew he couldn't send him to prison, he couldn't condemn him. Damn, so well-acted, too. You can see the moment where he makes the decision and stands up to reveal himself.
This is the most powerful Scene in this movie it take a Giant of a man to do what was done in this scene some time in life the rite things is the hardest thing to do.... BUT DO IT BECAUSE THE WORLD 🌎 NEEDS THE BEST PART OF YOU AND ME
I’m very pleased that so many people find this 1998 film version so much better than the musical. Honestly, I detest musicals. I find them depthless and maudlin. I’m open to suggestions, as I am sure there are good ones out there. Though, I can’t think of a single one I ever liked. This film is incredibly beautiful. Hugo’s “Les Miserables” is not just one of the greatest works of it’s era, but one of the most fantastic examples of Western European literature ever. For those interested, the character of Valjean was actually based on the real-life Eugène François Vidocq. He led the world’s first professional detective agency.
Why is there always some schmuck in the comments yelling about how this is "better than the musical"? Why are you comparing Broadway musical to a dramatic film adaptation? It's two completely different mediums.
Popped into my head that I should watch this scene. It’s been at least a decade, yet it stayed with me. Time to rewatch the movie. It really was something.
There's one problem with all the versions of Les Miserables the actors always speak English this was about 1840 France real Frenchman in that time the movie had the vaguest idea what English sounded like
Definitely more powerful than the 2012 musical.
@Allen Reyes Hugh Jackman may have acted like Valjean, but Liam Neeson WAS Jean Valjean.
Yeah I mean I like musicals but Les Miserables 2012 doesn’t hold a candle to this movie

This is the best story ever. This is my favorite scene in this version of the movie.
I like the candlesticks scene more tbh.

The music, the scene, the dialogue, everything about that part of the movie is impressive. One of the most powerful scenes ever!
Easily one of my all time favorite movie scenes and also one of the most meaningful.
How can I ever face my fellow men? How can I ever face myself again?
The acting, the screenplay, the close up shots, the soundtrack... what a perfect scene!!!!

So true! Men and women of good character are what this world need.
Such a powerful scene I get goosebumps seeing it 20 years later again.

That took guts
love this scene! brings tears every fucking time! thanks for uploading it!
Obviously Liam Neeson’s best role was as Oscar Schindler but this is not very far behind, he was magnificent as Jean Val Jean.
Saw this movie in English class and it was the first time I heard of Les Mis and I've been in love since ❤️
Why is this soooo amazing why the best
Greatly describing!
Truly as an astrophysicist said this movie's book is an evagelion of society...
beautiful!

10/10 scene
Liam is a magnificent Valjean. He should be doing roles like this instead of his endless action fluff nonsense.
Liam is jean valjean
One of the best scenes in best movies
I don't care that it's not original to the musical, this is amazing.
Well it’s based on the book.

Champmathieu looks like Muff Potter from Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer
I am Jean valjean
