Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
It's always "spill the tea" and never "tell me quickly what's the story, who saw what and why and where, let him give a full description, let him answer to Javert!"
The REAL reason Les Mis is a great book is because it has the duality of you being able to randomly open it to any page and find the most beautiful-soul-crushing-poetic-timeless-eye-opening sentence ever
but also Victor Hugo consciously chose to make every single character is the lamest most socially inept mess and awkward crazy dork you've ever seen and it's great.
I feel like I should start judging various Les Mis adaptations based on whether or not Javert looks like he has night vision. Some of these actors just don’t look like they possess in their eye the feline phosphorescence of night birds.
i love love love the quote "tu sais que je crois à toi" ("you know i believe in you") in les miserables cause it hold so much meaning for grantaire's character cause he's a cynic, he's not supposed to believe in anything but he believes so much in enjolras that he's willing to die for the cause etc
but at the same time i can help but to think that this line is just a lie. he doesn't believe in enjolras, because believing in him means believing in the cause and in the revolution and everything enjolras' character symbolizes. he doesn't believe in him, he loves him. he means "you know i love you", but obviously doesn't say it (and so enjolras doesn't know it). he doesn't go to the barricades because he believes in the cause. he goes to the barricades because he loves enjolras so much he can't do anything else.
today I offer you tiny Enjolras, tomorrow, who knows?
(also for the translation: « les capitalistes à la lanterne! » or “capitalists to the lamp post!” uses the french revolutionary expression “to the lampost”, basically calling for ppl to be hanged… If you’re at all familiar with french revolution songs it’s most famous in a line from le Ça Ira, «les aristocrates à la lanterne »… so, the more you know!)
