unpopular opinion: the movie performances have greater emotional depth.

I'm sorry but I still think he should have won the oscar

I got interested in Les Miserables when I found out the story was about mercy and compassion. Jean Valjean is merciful because Bishop Myriel was merciful to him.

Ironic that Valjean spent his life running from the police for the crime of running from the police.

When they chained me and left me for dead just for stealing a mouthful of bread -- that does it for me . Love the movie, every little part and every actor!!!

This has some chilling parallel to Javert's suicide.

I love how Javert's Suicide mirrors this at the end of the film. Not just the lyrics, but the whole tone as well.

How his voice breaks when he says "beneath the lash, upon the rack" makes me cry every time

Javert chose death, but ValJean chose to be reborn.

This performance is legendary. I love Day-Lewis and respect his work greatly, but Hugh Jackman deserved the Oscar for this.

"He told me that I have a soul... How does he know"?

"I had come to hate the world

How on earth did he not win an Oscar for this performance? It is literally outstanding.

Nothing gives me chills like the end of this scene !!!

that is undoubtedly the best acting I have ever witnessed.. this guy has increased the bar.. all emotions in one scene, long dialogues without cuts.. amazing..

This scene made me strengthen my faith. I was in a bad place with my life when I first watched this movie. At first I just thought 'eh, its another movie' but I watched a second time and watched closely and at this scene and I dreamed a dream I bawled my eyes out because I realized my life was going into the gutter. I love this movie for these reasons. When I feel my faith slipping I come back and listen to this song and sing it strongly and loudly to myself. Thank you Hugh Jackman for playing this amazing role

I love this song... I’m a addict in recovery who gave my life to God. I pray that Lord will have use for me on this 🌍

One of my favorite parts of the movie. "One word from him and I'll be back.....beneath the lash upon the rack. Instead he offers me my freedom." Jackman's performance of a man who has had his mind blown by this act of kindness from the priest.....it just doesn't get any better than this.

It just shows that everybody always need a second chance to do better!

Damn this is amazing
