Whilst training as a professional vocalist I had many teachers. All of them said the same thing: you can sing through anything...sore throat, pain - anything except for crying. Crying swells the throat and limits your vocal range to the point of damage if you continue. This scene gave me so much respect for Anne Hathaway. Her acting is incredible, her singing equally so. The despair in her eyes is heart-wrenching. Im no expert on acting, but this was something else. The genius to it is her breathing. Every breath, every emphasis on each phrase is carefully timed so that her sobs don't interfere with her vocal. She was really going for it emotionally and this must have been incredibly controlled for her, or just a natural talent at switching from sob to vocal. This was filmed live in one take. I thought the film overall was rubbish, miscast and don't even get me started on Russell Crowe. But this scene is PERFECTION.

Les Mis is a terrific musical, great songs, great rich opportunity for actors to dive deep. It had a legendary run on Broadway. I think most people felt this was just a revival of an old favorite and was easy winnings for Oscars. It's exceptionally well done as this film though. Anne is fantastic in it.

@brontewcat 3 года назад

@@topnotchcardz1639 Maybe, but she doesn’t have a top voice. Les Miz is like an opera, and it needs strong voices. While I do not think the producers needed classically trained opera singers, it needs strong voices. Anne Hathaway is a good actress, but her voice was not strong enough. Hugh Jackman was fine, but Russell Crowe’s voice was a train-wreak.

@brontewcat 3 года назад

This is, of course, personal preference. I am much more emotionally moved by beautiful music than good acting. So for me, no matter how good Anne Hathaway’s acting, I am not going to be emotionally moved as by somewhat weaker acting but a much better voice. I understand from an interview I saw with her, Anne Hathaway made a deliberate choice not to sing it ‘pretty’. I get that choice, but in my view the song required a stronger voice. Movie musicals used to always have strong voices, even if the producers/ directors had to use a voice double. Just because this is movie does not mean the the acting has to prioritised over the singing. There are plenty of non musical versions of Les Miserables if it is acting that is wanted, including a brilliant French version with Gerard Depardieu as Valjean and John Malkovich as Jarvert.

No one in Hollywood has any taste, class or morals. Les Mis the movie ~would~ have been great if Anne Hathaway wouldn't have weasled and wedged her talentless self in it. Shame on Hollywood's gristmill of talentless hacks like her. Just a shame when hundreds if not thousands of better actresses and songbirds are overlooked due to Hollywood's graft and tastelessness. Shame on your lazy status quo.

@djbenje4019 8 месяцев назад

Actually, the problem I have with this performance is that there are tears rolling down here cheek THE WHOLE ENTIRE SONG. The best way to sing this song 'with genuine emotion and feeling' is to start-off on a light and reflective note with glimmers of fond/happy memories, and to intensify the sadness as the song/lyrics progress. There's just no need to be so melancholy and distraught THE ENTIRE SONG. And then VISUALLY, this thing was a mess. Never seen Anne Hathaway look so unattractive and unappealing in my entire life -- for the entire song. Nothing 'perfect' about this performance.

@Danny30011980 Год назад

This is the most dramatic, emotional performance ever, she incorporates and conveys the drama and emotion fully. How her voice changes from agression to despair, the look of horror in her eyes to the final surrender...20 out of 10 performance, she put the bar for others extremely high. Well done! I would've loved to see the film teams reaction after this scene was concluded. I bet they were clapping their hands sore.

I got physically sick to my stomach watching this scene for the first time. I know it's just acting but she portrays it so well that I don't even know what to feel. She literally portrayed what it felt like to be to totally defeated and then the acceptance of her defeat. A life of getting dirt kicked in your face, of being used, abused, under-valued, spat on, and dehumanized and then final a swan song of 3-4 minutes of saying what you want to God, the world, the cosmos , whoever is listening, and then the final acceptance of total surrender as you die...it's honestly unmatched in cinema so far.

You're right. The songwriting is great and Anne Hathaway is the real deal. In my mind this performance overshadowed everything else in the movie.

For context, Fantie (Hathaway) had a daughter when she was young, the father promissed to marry her but he ran away. She had to leave her child with another family, the Thénardiers while she went away and was forced to work as a prostitute and send them her wages so they could take care of her daughter, Cosette. The Thénardiers wrote letters to her saying that the child was growing, and that she needed clothes or that she had gotten hurt and asking for more money. So Fantine, having only her own body an no other posessions, had to sell her beautiful white teeth and her long blonde hair and work even harder, all the while the Thénardiers were lying and were mistreating Cosette and treating her as a slave basically while they bought frivoulous things with Fantine's money, which she had lost so much of herself to earn.

To all the people who are in here comparing anne's performsnce to the broadway version and going on about better vocal technique i have some things to say. yes, people have beaten to death the point that this is a film thats portraying emotion over vocal quality and that film acting is different than stage acting. There's one massive point everyone is forgetting. The story context! in the broadway play this song is placed after Fantine loses her job. She's a little emotionally down but she hasn't yet gone through hell. In the film this song doesn't come until after she's left destitute on the street, extremely ill, and selling her body to survive. That is a completely different emotional context that informs this performance. On broadway the story context facilitates the stronger technique because she's emotional but not broken. in the film she's singing this song while she's literally dying. She's lamenting a hellish existence and all the dreams she can't have because life beat her to her knees. This is a much more emotionally heavy context. You literally cannot compare the two performances because theyre conveying two different states of mind.

Beyond the emotion that this song indubitably gives, I think it's important to remember what the author wanted to say with Fantine's character. Poverty is revolting. We should not be okay with people resorting to prostitution because they have kids to support. We should not be okay with people dying of hypothermia and illness because they have nowhere to sleep and no money to get health care. Les Misérables was a very political book (or books), the message of which cannot be forgotten.

You and others with your perspective are certanly not fans of musicals. As a musical the movie sucked. What do you think a musical is about. It emphasises music. Music is a priority. If the director wanted to emphasie acting he should have just done another none musical version. Ann was actually better vocally than most of the other charaters who were just downright horrible. As I stated before the director over rehearsed them so that their voices were gone before they did the scens on film. Jackman is a far better singer than he showed. It you are going to do a musicla , then do a musical. This movie was an offense to my ears. ------ By the way Solonga was not the best Fontaine. She was the best Eponie. If you want to hear the show as it was meant to be sung listen to the 10th anniversary perfornance. The trick in musicals is to find the line between emotion and vocal quality. It takes a lot of talent to do that.

Her voice cracks here and there, the pitch wavers occasionally, her breath support is poor and thin sometimes, the tempo is off for a few moments. And that's what makes this perfect. Stunning. Mesmerizing. Her heartbroken character in that instance would absolutely not be singing perfectly, and I'm glad they didn't sacrifice acting for the sake of a perfect song. I'm so glad with the direction this movie went. In most musicals, they have the actors act and then record the singing later in the studio. This yields the best quality of singing, but fails to capture the emotionality and life of that narrative moment. As I understand it, for this version of Les Mis, the actors sang it live. So impressive and such a good artistic choice on the director's part.

@@stephyfra1243 pretty amazing isn't it, the number of people here who simply don't get how truly incredible this performance is, all caught up on the lack of strength of her voice. The character is so emotionally wrecked she can hardly breath...let alone sing. Just an amazing performance.

But Anne Hathaway is really good at both acting and singing she's literally a theater kid

Acting is in no way easier than singing

The negativity this movie had during its time hurt me because i loved this kind of songs, where the songs are acted and sang as what the emotion has to be. I love watching singers live, as they emote their song, i dont need perfect pitch.

Funny thing is, the intonation and timing here are so much better than the supposedly better broadway versions. They seem to forget the subject and the meaning of the sentences there.

@christianorendain8047 4 года назад

I thought so too. Then I read that, in the Broadway version, this song came before Fantine's fall into prostitution. The movie follows the order of original French production so Anne's interpretation gets to pack a lot more pathos.

@@christianorendain8047 Ahh, interesting. Seems much more fitting, so good thing they chose to go back to the original in the movie.

Agreed. This was a performance. They just sing on Broadway.

I saw the play not too long ago and this song doesn’t pack a very emotional punch because she hasn’t been through hardly anything yet. I had only seen the movie so I was like wait does she not become a prostitute in the play? But she does, it comes after.

@@Dawnholio In a musical, the score is a character in the story, for lack of a better way to put it. Often in opera, the story is taking a backseat to the quality of the voice and beauty of the composition. She gives an amazing interpretation here, and I'm happy for everyone who loves it, but for me personally, I'd more of a performance from her musical instrument, her voice.

The breaths and the broken notes give the performance so much LIFE and TRUTH. It's pure perfection from start to finish.

I agree 100% she's not singing perfect because the character is breaking, so many musicals just try to have good singing and ignore that the emotions of the character is what's most important, Anne Hathaway managed to sing well and be the character not just a singer. Imo I feel the same way about Emmy rossum in phantom

Stunning, so beautiful and moving. I can not think of any other performance that the actor was so true to his or her part. I was breathless, and fell in love. Easily my favorite acting performance of all time. I was moved to tears the very first time I saw this and thought to myself, she just won an Oscar. I bring this up ten years later because I just watched the movie again and the scene brought me to tears...again. Bravo Anna, Bravo
