Before Cosette Marius must have been a little bit of the rake. Grandfather has decided to try to be graciously understanding of the new generation and instead has rather steps in it. The lengths people go through for their kids - sometimes.
@birdy09xx Eponine plays a very important role in the book of Victor Hugo. she represents the HUNGER, the hunger of children, " the misery of children" says the author. She is the hopless youth. She dies alone without love, starving
@PipG1rl Of course all the characters are important in the book, otherwise Hugo wouldn't have included them, and I can see why her role is. But for the film I can also see how characters such as Gavroche can fill the space representing "the misery of children". I like how this lets us appreciate the love between Marius and Cosette more, which is beautifully described in the book and often overlooked in the musical in favour of Eponine's unrequited love, which isn't such a big part of the plot.
Personally, I like how they didn't Marjolras this one. That bothers me. Ha, I really like this Enjolras, but he looks exactly opposite of Brick!Enjolras.
I don't care as much if they leave out certain scenes that are in the book but when they leave out important characters like Eponine. Now thats frustrating. She has to be pretty important... she is a lead part in the musical for goodness sake. ;)
@kvhassfamily Yes you are right. I was just saying if she is important enough to put in the play then she should be important enough for the movie. Not having her takes out a full part of the storyline. It makes me sad :(
Marius is played by the same actor who voiced Frodo in the Ralph Bakshi version of "Lord of the Rings" (1978). And he's in the same movie here with his co-star William Squire (Gandalf) as the judge who sentenced Valjean to Toulon and Ian Holm as Thenardier who voiced Frodo in the 1981 BBC serial.
I always pictured Gillenormand as one of those extras from the Phantom of the Opera movie in the Il Muto scene.
This script reminds me of the 1998 movie...
"He gave me everything I have", "Why must you leave?", *Valjean watching Marius/Cosette from the window*, "Long Live the Republic!"
Speaking of, that scene in the 1998 movie with Grantaire shouting "Long Live the Republic" as he was shot made my heart melt... *cries* *wonders if tears will make the flowers grow*

I hate this movie. This is horrible, unrealistic and too different from the book. Actors don't look like as they should be. I mean Fantine was blonde. Marius and Cosette were beautyful. But look them here. Many things that happend in the book are missed. If you don't know how to make a good movie then just don't do that.
His father had fought with Napoleon, that's why Marius is against the monarchy. Who cares for a rich grandpa, when your father died as a hero in Waterloo...
As evil permeates everywhere throughout time, I must say, that the fashion, etiquette, architecture, and music of France during the Romantic Era sure does not lack in beauty and elegance, especially in regards to high society! :D
whoa...lol "he told me to give it to cosette.." well what does that sound like..oh i know "*sings* he said to give it to cosette" lol line from this movie is he same line from the musical. lol.
@LesMiserablesEponine Eponine is one of the main characters.. read the French version not the translated!
She was the real connection betwen Marius & Cosette .. & she died in an Epic way!
She didn't appear so much in the book but that doesn't mean she's not one of the main characters who brought love to both Marius & Cosette & notify Valjean when to leave before they came to get him!

Eponine really didn't play much of a role in the book. They made her character bigger, and much more romanticised, in the musical.
