She absolutely deserves to throw a punch at them alongside Marius

In the book, Cossete didn't get any further interaction with the Thernadiers after she was rescued by Jean Valjean when she was a child.

Ikr so many people forget Cosette is a victim on child abuse

Nothing good would have come out of that. Confronting abusers will just give them another opportunity to hurt you. It's best to go no contact and stay no contact

I think that’s why Marius hurried them away from the scene so quickly. He didn’t want to let Cosette seem them and ruin what should be the happiest day of her life. She hasn’t seen them since her childhood, so any meeting now would be less of a triumphant telling off and more of fear-filled return to the trauma she experienced. Marius is aware of how awful they are through Eponine and Cosette and also what a scandal they could cause if they were left to their own devices.

WOAH JUST REALIZED THAT WAS SACHA BARON COHEN

I sympathize with them. It wasn't modern times. It was revolutionary France. Dudes were getting their heads chopped off by the truckload every day over nothing. People had to do what they had to do to survive. They were 2 of a small handful of characters to make it through to the end of alive thanks to their con artist skills.

Not just Eponine, but Gavrouche was their child also. People don’t quite catch that in the movie or the play, it’s clearly in the book.

Marius Pontmercy and Epónine.

@@BookshelfQBattlerPost Revolutionary France the actual French Revolution took place from July 14th 1789 to 1799 and this is set during the June Rebellion of 1832 June 6 in Paris

And their son Gavroche

The difference is Madame Thénardier hated Gavroche and gave him away when he was a baby and loved Éponine and her sister (who wasn't mentioned in the film and I haven't finished reading the book yet, no idea what happened to her)

HidingInTheTreetops he was wasn't theres

She was still around, but she was being groomed to be a "paid escort" (her name was Azelma).

Gavroche is their son too :(

La Esmeralda lmao their names are so long i love it

Yeah and they names were so long, I forgot what their character`s names were.

The Thénardiers weren't even meant to be in this scene, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen just wandered onto the set and started doing stuff and the crew were too scared to stop them

In the stage show, Marius used to have lines in this scene directed at the Thenardiers, castigating them for the way they treated Eponine: "When I look at you, I remember Eponine She was more than you deserved, who gave her birth But now she is with God, and happier, I hope Than here on Earth" These lines were cut from the show a long time ago but they're still on the Complete Symphonic Recording.

Thank you for letting me know. I haven't ever been able to see the stage show, but it's such a shame that those lines were cut from the film; I think it would have been better for Marius' character, because in the film he just kind of forgets her completely after she dies.

Damn right. Thenandier and Mrs Thenandier didn't even say a word about Epinine after she died at the barricade and that got me baffled a bit. So much for them being her parents.

Plus, they abused his wife during all her childhood in time of need. Cosette must have told him who they are. She too deserved closure on the bastards.

@@miticaBEP07 Also wasn't Gavroche their son? I think in the original story he was, but i'm not sure about the movie. so they lost their daughter and their son [son would have been a bigger deal in those days] yet they don't seem to care. they aren't even pretending to grieve for sympathy/money.

lol same

#TeamEponine Cosette who?

Or maybe because Cosette told about her early childhood to Marius.

And he never even knew or said of her death at the barricade.

I honestly felt like this got me baffled a bit because I just watched all of Les Mis last night.

Read the book. It gets worse. And yeah, pure karma houdini....

harlett- o-scara 😐...uh....hmm....ya know...google JAVERT....and uh...hehe...you see main antagonist.... and uh....frick u...because javert...is...BOOTIFUL.....AND UR JUST CALLIN HIM AN OK VILIAN? HE WAS AMAZING HE WAS INSPECTOR JAVERT! DO NOT FORGET HIS NAME! DO NOT FORGET HIM! 24601!!!

Wait...these two people...COSSETE AND MARIUS?!?! 😱 IKR SUCH SCAMMERS

Though, it did seem they had no heart, they did offer Cosette over to Valjean as soon as they learnt her mother died. The rest, I knew I had to learn further on. Like, I knew Javert was the villain despite finding Valjean as vermin to him. When Epinine started to feel melancholy over Marius` heart full of love for Cosette, even though they lived together, once. For some reason, it EVEN felt like she regretted taking Marius to her house in the first place. It`s a good story but I somehow find some of this a bit baffling.

@@samkresil6011 They handed Cosette to Valjean all right, but only after he pays them a lot more than her mother actually owed them.

*screams* I, AS A PROUD REDMAYNIAC, SUPPORT NEWT MARRYING DIS RANDOM GIRL RATHER THAN TINA

and Bellatrix is married to Borat apparently

Jennifer Lee like Marius got his Cosette, Newt will get his Tina (when he gets certain relative of Mrs Bellatrix Lestrange out of his head)

Maximus, Logan, Mrs. Lovett, Newt, Fiyero too

omg so true

She nutted.

Wtf ahhahaha

well for all they know eponine may not be dead i mean he praticaly disowned her earlier in the film so maybe they still think shes alive also i belive some time has past since this and the baricade so for all we knoe they could have mouned and moved on

ChaosX2Limited Oh, they knew she was dead all right. But really, all they cared about were themselves.

Hugh S im not denyinng that there only out for themselves but that doesent mean that they know shes dead

In the full-length musical they knew all right. When Marius mentions to them about Eponine's death, they go into a brief show of grief saying "Life has dealt us some terrible blows", that usually is played up to look insincere.

The Thernardiers are really terrible people---far closer to being actually evil than Javert is--and as funny as their songs are, I really dislike that they're turned into comic figures. You lose sight of the fact that they basically enslaved a six-year-old girl and sold her to an old man they'd just met. They're heavily implied to have beaten Cosette as a small girl, certainly Thenardier says he's going to beat Eponine. They're totally dismissive of Gavroche and Eponine and leave both of them to die on the barricades. They're vile people.

+spookibandit ' My thoughts exactly when I first watching this scene. :(

she was right without her his world went on turning

and garvoche, eponine's brother...the parents didnt show any feelings for their children's death

Exactly. When i was reading the book, i thought that they were going to say something to Marius about their children, but no, they just tried to sobornate him :/

Yeah, I just watched Les Mis last night and I somehow learned that Epinine was their death and they somehow don`t speak about her again or even know if she died, and that got me baffled a bit.

Mary Macdonald lol true

But Eddie is pretty good as Marius ngl

Wow all he knows to do is punch

I just screamed, thank you

I find it somewhat hillarious that we have all agreed that Marius did not fight at the barricade and that, if not for a timely intervention of Valjean, he would too have died with the ill fated revolution.

NANA it's actually "good day"

To me when he said that it looked like he stomped with foot like a toddler

But it’s a damn good one isn’t it

Too poor to afford another one💀

@@kaidenulysse2302 they at least couldn’t ad some nice decoration outside the party place at least like a sign that says “ mr and Mrs Pontmercy “ (marius last name idk cosette last name)

And he knew what they were like through Eponine.

Tenadiay!

@@obiwankenobi9141 ikr it’s like instead of a ya the end he says it like day it’s like “tena-r-day!”

Okay, to follow up, he declined. I'm guessing it's bad timing as he's in the middle of another movie as well as he never had a proper honeymoon with his wife seeing as they got married around Christmas but due to award shows, promoting "Jupiter Ascending", recording a part in a "Thomas the Tank Engine" movie and the aforementioned movie "The Dutch Girl" (Which they are trying to release in November!), they have had to postpone that. And since "Beauty and the Beast" has a lot going on with pre-produciton as they are commencing filming May 18th, then it's understandable there was no way it could happen with him. (And I have no problem with who they did choose.) The bright side in all of this is that Disney is ALWAYS developing genre movies and ALWAYS casting Oscar winners/nominees so it could always happen down the line. (Of course, he would do well in either a Marvel movie or a "Robin Hood" one they've been developing..)

I wish sasha and helena should have done the full song and done more faithful to them

1:57

helena has got to be the best madame thenardier. sacha didn’t seem as happy scamming people unlike people like matt lucas or alum armstrong.

Marius had reconciled with his wealthy maternal grandfather, so I assume the guests were all from the grandfather's family and acquaintances.

Emma get woke go broke, you know what I mean?

Tenadyay!

I know it's long but I've seen the BBC version, the part where the wife beats Cosette beats her with a belt looking thing infront of the customers makes me want to grab her hand holding the belt and threathen her.

Her first pie victim was probably Sasha Baren Cohen

I mean these are both musicals where Helena Bonham Carter passes something weird off as meat and Sacha Baron Cohen sells his piss

Monsieur Thénardier, yes, Sacha did a wonderful job.

Would have prefered Matt Lucas but oh well.

Frankly I've seen funnier Thernadiers. Heck, I've seen funnier funerals.

Btw, ktoad698, his name was Monsieur Thenardier.

Teh-nad-ye.

Allyanna laurel oh My gosh 😂

They planned to be. Well,Time did

I didn't realized XD.

You mean Queen of Hearts married to Bruno or Borat

Or Mrs Lovett and Señor Pirelli

It wouldn't have been the same week as his arm is completely healed it would have been a couple of months later

It was actually about a year or so later according to the book.

Rachel Thornton it wasn't a week.... he wouldn't walk like that.... he would still have a brace and kane

It was in following February. He was injured in June, recovery lasted about 6 months.

Also to be fair... Marius spent two whole months getting close to Cosette before the revolution in the book, and he wasn't as close to the barricade boys as in the musical (well he was close to Courfeyrac, but other than him).

Why no ring for Marius btw. The novel spoke of an exchange of rings

Ya think?!

Wigs were pretty expensive, they still are and it was way more back then if I'm not mistaken. It's not the best thing he could've grabbed but it's something lol

Oh yes certainly kleptomaniac

Maybe try to be Kylie Jenner!???

I think,I see, now

Was that unscripted?

He played it off well thogh

If that was an accident it still adds to the scene

Jesus, I'm dying of laughter 🤣🤣

I activated them because of your comment. My god LoL 😂

And even though, they both came to the wedding in cogneto, they still heard no word of their own daughter, despite she had a small connection with Marius throughout the film.

*Wolverine goes to heaven with CatWoman and Jean Valjean

Rebecky Norris ikr! I think they cared about eponine though, just not eponie

It baffled me that they didn't speak about her again after she died. And Thenandier somehow ended up in the sewer where Valjean dragged Marius from the barricade.

Thank you so much I was looking for him!

Well, in some musical versions they get kicked out still

Tenadiay!

Nutella loves you too where

in that scene, thenardier is wearing a costume... they are baron and baronessdu thenard, and i suppose the accent is part of the scheme they're playing

Except he keeps switching back and forth the whole movie, not just in this scene.

@@WillScarlet16 He speaks with a French accent when he’s meeting new customers/people of a higher status, to appear more trustworthy and upper class, but uses a usual cockney accent when with people he knows.

@@WillScarlet16 It’s stupid but that’s the reason

It’s weird because a few weeks prior in the robbery scene we see the Thénardiers and particularly Monsieur Thénardiers hair looks the same as it did in the first scene we see them so I wonder how it suddenly balded like that

I've seen it explained that they're friends of his grandfather, who's old and rich and would know a lot of people.

Yeah thanks. I actually finished reading the brick about a month ago... it's all mentioned in it.
