Eponine's Death- Les Miserables 2000 Miniseries

Asia Argento as Eponine, Enrico Lo Verso as Marius and Steffen Wink (briefly) as Enjolras

For those of you who don't speak French- Marius threatens to blow up the barricades and the soldiers retreat. Eponine takes a bullet for him and falls unnoticed. Enjolras asks Marius about Cosette and he says he doesn't want to talk about it. He goes inside to write a letter to his grandfather. Eponine follows him and collapses in his arms. He lays her down and she confesses that her father never (intentionally) saved Marius' father's life at the battle of Waterloo. Thenardier was there robbing corpses. Further, she confesses that she lied about Cosette leaving, she is still at the house and gave Eponine a letter for Marius that Eponine kept to "punish" him. Marius thanks her and starts to leave but Eponine asks him to stay and kiss her on the forehead after she dies. He complies and kisses her on the lips.

In the book he is an even bigger asshole because when she was dying he didn't at all. And he only stayed with her because she practically begged him to. He was pretty much just waiting for her to die so he could read the letter from Cosette.

God, could Marius be any more of an asshole??? Poor Eponine!

Marius is really ugly in this one.

[aznzensation]

Wasnt she suppose to be dressed as a man?

[DarthxErik]

@PonineTeazerBlaze yeah in the musical Marius is really nice to Eponine talking about "words of love" and stuff. In the book though it's a lot more like this, so I don't think they ruined it. It's just more-- depressing.

is eponine's voice dubbed??

@AngelBallerinaHo The ballgown at least makes some sense. She was originally quite wealthy and then became poor. She would have kept her nicest dress and it would have became tattered and filthy as it was her only dress.

@lesmeslover95 In the novel it is explained that Marius wants to take her to a doctor because he thinks that she's only been shot in the hand, when in fact the bullet passed through her hand AND through her back, and she tells him not to take her to the doctors. She's going to die anyway. She dies saving Marius from being shot, only because she wants to die first. It's still her intention for Marius to die at the barricade, just die after her. I don't feel sorry for her. It's her own fault.

Huh? They got it all wrong! The saddest scene for me in the whole of Les Mis and they got it completly wrong in so many ways. Hmph, I hate Marius. He didn't even notice SHE'D JUST DIED FOR HIM. God.

[FantasmaLuna]

@AngelBallerinaHo I think that's more due to the directing than the acting.

What the hell is the matter with my favorite character? Well on the other hand, at least Eponine was done well.... I like this movie and I feel like it's dramatic in the right places. Even though it may not be so accurate.... But still, it's epic and that's why I love it. The only version I love better is the 1934

@fdgesw Yes it would. According to Victor Hugo, she lost teeth and turned very thin. Which is ugly.
