    • Trivia
      Fantine's assault by a rejected customer is based on an actual incident from Victor Hugo's life that resulted in Fantine's creation: he was on his way to his editor's office when he encountered a young man harassing a prostitute. When she rejected his advances, he shoved a handful of snow down her dress and shoved her to the ground. When she defended herself with her fists, he immediately called the police to arrest his "assailant". Hugo was a minor celebrity at the time, and spoke up on the woman's behalf when the police arrived, and was able to have her set free. Hugo said he was horrified by the unfairness of the woman's situation, and began to imagine that she might have children depending on her, and thus Fantine appeared in his mind.

      The calf seen wandering in the barricades scene is a whitefaced Hereford poll. That breed did not exist before the 1880, and did not reach France until the 20th century.
    • Quotes

      Jean Valjean: To love another person is to see the face of God.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens without any opening credits. The title of the film is stated just before the closing credits.
    • Alternate versions
      On the 2023 4K Blu-ray release of the film, the centennial version of the 2012 Universal Pictures logo is replaced with the regular 2013 version of it without the "100th anniversary" tagline.

    Breathtaking - A Musical with Heart
    I went to an awards screening of Les Miserables and left the cinema speechless. Tom Hooper's direction and the cinematography, costumes, art design and editing are nothing short of genius.

    Hooper's idea to have the actors sing live really brings a deeper emotion to the film not seen in other movie musicals. Hugh Jackman is absolutely incredible as Jean Valjean and carries the film with spectacular grace. Anne Hathaway is magnificent in her fleeting role as Fantine - the film's sequence in which she goes on a downward spiral is one of the it's best moments, and her ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE HEARTFELT rendition of 'I Dreamed A Dream' will win her the Oscar by itself.

    Also, a great supporting turn from newcomer Samantha Barks as the heartbroken Eponine (look out for her waist - it's absolutely tiny!), who is sure to be shot into stardom. Eddie Redmayne, Russell Crowe and Aaron Tveit are also good, and there's some great comedy relief from Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

    It will leave you laughing, crying, and feeling inspired. A great watch, sure to win some major awards this year! 10/10!
