Alright. Here's a question for you. What do you get when you cross my favorite movie Braveheart and my favorite musical Les Miserables? You get... this. I was listening to all the cast recordings (the Original London Cast from 1985, the Original Broadway Cast from 1987, and the Complete Symphonic Recording from 1988, which I have on my iPhone; I also saw the Dreamcast Concert, or the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables from 1995), and then one day, I was listening to this song from the musical (spoilers for those who haven't seen Les Miserables or Braveheart), and thought, "If William and Longshanks ever went head-to-head, then it would probably look like this." I know they actually didn't fight in the movie (well, William killed Longshanks' army at Stirling, but lost at Falkirk), but it would have been pretty cool if it did happen in the movie, which it didn't, sadly. Anyway, here is the cast for this video, and the synopsis. Murron (Fantine) has just died, and asks William (Jean Valjean) to look after her daughter (Young Murron plays Cosette as a little girl; the actress who plays Young Murron almost reminds me of the one who plays Young Cosette in the 2012 movie because of their similarities) while she's gone. However, Longshanks (Javert) is just about to arrest William who's been on the run for 20 years for becoming a thief and is put on parole. But William (who started a new life as a changed man and as a mayor, thanks to Argyle, a.k.a. The Bishop Of Digne) isn't going to allow that to happen because he promised Murron that he'd look after her child. I made this using iMovie on the iPhone 6 Plus. Sadly (and I'm not making this up), the Mac that I have now (it's an older Mac unlike the newer ones) does not support iMovie. Hopefully in the future I'll get a newer Mac that will support iMovie. That way it will be easier for me to get the clips instead of just filming them. Anyway, I'm getting off the subject, if there was a Braveheart version of Les Miserables, then I could definitely picture William as Jean Valjean, Longshanks as Javert, and Murron as Fantine (sadly, I wouldn't have enough girls to play Eponine, Adult Cosette, or Madame Thenardier because most of the characters in Braveheart are guys). The reason why is because both Jean Valjean and William long for freedom. The only difference is that William wants to stop the English from taking over Scotland (hence the freedom speech he gives at Stirling) while Jean Valjean wants to be free from Javert so he (Jean Valjean) doesn't have to deal with him (Javert) anymore, and can live a normal life. Another difference is that William dies after being captured by the English and is executed for his crimes, while Jean Valjean dies of old age, and Jean Valjean spent 20 years in prison while William was in prison for a day until his execution the next morning. Thus both Braveheart and Les Miserables have a sad (yet somewhat happy) ending. Now when it comes to Murron, I cast her as Fantine not because Murron is a prostitute like Fantine when really, she (Murron) isn't, but it's because both women were attacked by a bad man and ended up dying in the process (Murron died because she was killed by the English, which led William to go on a quest not only for freedom, but also for revenge while Fantine died of either pneumonia or tuberculosis. I'll just go with pneumonia). Another reason is that Fantine is shown as a spirit to take an ill Valjean who is on his deathbed, while William is dying because he's about to be executed. I just think that fits so well in my mind, and Les Miserables and Braveheart have always been my favorite musical (Les Miserables) and movie (Braveheart; yes I'm well aware that there's movie adaptions of Les Miserables), so I guess you could say it's kind of a dream come true for me. The next video I might do is when Murron (Fantine) takes William (Jean Valjean) to Heaven, and both men die with a smile on their face. I'm also going to show the reprise of "Do You Hear The People Sing?" which is played at the finale of the musical. However, I don't know who would play Cosette, Eponine or Marius at that part, but I do know that William's army of Scots would play all the people who died in the barricades. I'm sorry for the repeat of some clips, but I only did it to capture the emotions. Plus, some of the words match the lyrics in sync. Also, please ignore the subtitles in a few of the clips. I actually got those parts from both the Blu-ray and original DVD versions. Oh yeah. If you're wondering what cast recording this is, it's from the Original London Cast (1985). Oh and one more thing. Originally I was going to cast Isabelle as Fantine, but like I said, Murron suits her (Fantine) more. :D :) Don't forget to like, rate, comment and subscribe. Bye!
