NOTE: All dialogue that is in Bold and Italics in this transcript means that the characters are singing (openings starts with the Channel Awesome Production Logo, followed by "2013, two years after his last musical crossover, The Nostalgia Critic has teamed up with Paw and Kyle to sing once more at the convention ConBravo") (cut to the lobby fountain of the hotel ConBravo is taking place at, as a parody song that sounds like the "Prologue/Work Song" from Les Misérables starts to play) (the camera cuts to a hallway moving towards one of the rooms door peepholes) Kyle: Look down! Look down! Paw: No. Les Misérables is a novel by the French Human writer Victor Hugo, published in 1862. It was one of Michael Eddington's favorite books and when in 2373, Captain Sisko was obsessively pursuing him for having betrayed Starfleet and the Federation in order to join the Maquis, Eddington recommended that Sisko read the book and pay close attention to the character of Inspector Javert who pursed a man, Jean Valjean, for twenty years for having stolen a loaf of bread. Eddington saw himself as Valjean, the victim of a monstrous injustice who spends his entire life helping people, making noble sacrifices for others; a romantic dashing figure fighting the good fight against insurmountable odds. Les Misérables is a Sabbat pack from Montreal. Its members have always primarily consisted of Malkavian antitribu and the most insane members of other clans. The novel was written by Victor Hugo in 1862, and has been translated into English six times. The main plot (although there are countless sub-plots) concerns a convict named Jean Valjean who is released from prison and then attempts to become an honest man through performing good works. However, Valjean cannot escape the shadow of his past, as personified by Inspector Javert, who pursues him relentlessly throughout the course of the novel. Weil Jean Valjean einst Brot stahl, damit seine Familie nicht verhungern musste, wurde er für 20 lange Jahre ins Gefängnis gesperrt. Auch die Freilassung auf Bewährung bringt nicht die erhoffte Erlösung, denn der Inspektor Javert folgt ihm auf Schritt und Tritt und lauert auf jeden kleinsten Ausrutscher. Um ihm zu entkommen und endlich ein neues Leben anfangen zu können, nimmt Jean eine neue Identität an. Als er die, in sehr ärmlichen Verhältnissen lebende, Fantine trifft, scheint sein Schicksal sich endlich zu wenden, denn er verliebt sich in sie. Doch Fantine hat ihre ganz eigenen Probleme. Um ihre Tochter ein bisschen zu unterstützen würde sie alles tun und schließlich verkauft sie sogar ihren Körper. Doch die Prostitution ist ein hartes Geschäft und Frauen, die sich gegen übergriffige Les Misérables (dt. Die Elenden) ist ein Buch von Victor Hugo. Der Roman spielt im Frankreich des 19. Jahrhundert und es wird die Geschichte von einem ehemaligen Sträfling namens Jean Valjean erzählt. Valjean verbringt sein ganzes Leben damit, anderen zu helfen. Inspektor Javert verfolgt den ehemaligen Sträfling 20 Jahre lang, wegen des Diebstahls eines Laib Brot. (DS9: ) Les Misérables ist eines von Michael Eddingtons Lieblingsbüchern.

Les Misérables was a novel written by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862 in French, and is widely considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century. In September 1908, Indiana Jones was assigned to read Les Misérables in his room at Hotel Lepic by his tutor, Miss Seymour, possibly as punishment for staying out too late one night. Jones remarked sarcastically that it was a great title. It is unlikely that he finished the novel before he slipped out in the evening to go to a party with Norman Rockwell. Les Misérables est l'un des plus célèbres romans de Victor Hugo, paru en 1862. Il a donné lieu à de nombreuses adaptions au cinéma ou en BD ou bien encore en manga. Ce roman demeure célèbre dans toute la littérature française racontant sur la vie des miséreux à Paris et la France du XIXème siècle. Les Misérables is a 1980 French musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (with Herbert Kretzmer adapting it to English) about prisoner Jean Valjean, who breaks his parole and starts his life anew, with officer Javer looking for him all the way. It is based on the book of the same name, written by Victor Hugo, and is the third longest running musical on Broadway. Les Misérables (translated variously from French as The Miserable Ones, The Wretched, The Poor Ones, The Victims) (1862) is a novel by French author Victor Hugo. Among the best-known novels of the 19th century, it follows the lives and interactions of several French characters over a twenty year period in the early 19th century that includes the Napoleonic wars and subsequent decades. Principally focusing on the struggles of the protagonist—ex-convict Jean Valjean—struggling to redeem himself, the novel examines the impact of Valjean's actions as social commentary.

(DS9: "For the Uniform") Les Misérables was a novel by the French author Victor Hugo which was published in 1862.

(DS9 novel: Trapped in Time) Les Misérables was one of Michael Eddington's favorite novels.

(DS9 episode: "For the Uniform") Les Misérables is a 2012 musical historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper, based on the long-running theatrical production of the same name. The film tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who, inspired by a kindly bishop, decides to turn his life around. He eventually becomes mayor of a town in France and owner of a factory in that town. He is always alert to the risk of being captured again by police inspector Javert, who is ruthless in hunting down law-breakers, believing they cannot change for the better. One of Valjean's factory workers, Fantine, blames him for her being cast into a life of prostitution. When she dies, he feels responsible and agrees to take care of her illegitimate daughter, Cosette — though he must first escape Javert. Later, when Cosette is grown, they are swept up in the political turmoil in Paris, which culminates in the Paris Uprising of 1832.

n13:abstract

Les Misérables (translated variously from French as The Miserable Ones, The Wretched, The Poor Ones, The Victims) (1862) is a novel by French author Victor Hugo. Among the best-known novels of the 19th century, it follows the lives and interactions of several French characters over a twenty year period in the early 19th century that includes the Napoleonic wars and subsequent decades. Principally focusing on the struggles of the protagonist—ex-convict Jean Valjean—struggling to redeem himself, the novel examines the impact of Valjean's actions as social commentary. It examines the nature of good, evil, and the law, in a sweeping story that expounds upon the history of France, architecture of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, law, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love. Hugo was inspired by the real-life criminal/policeman Francois Eugene Vidocq, and split the personalities into the two main characters in his novel. Les Misérables is known to many through its numerous stage and screen adaptations, of which the most famous is the stage musical of the same name, commonly known as "Les Mis" (pronounced //). Les Misérables est l'un des plus célèbres romans de Victor Hugo, paru en 1862. Il a donné lieu à de nombreuses adaptions au cinéma ou en BD ou bien encore en manga. Ce roman demeure célèbre dans toute la littérature française racontant sur la vie des miséreux à Paris et la France du XIXème siècle. "Les misérables" était un roman écrit par Victor Hugo, publié en 1862. (Réalité extrapolée *) Michael Eddington avait lu ce livre à plusieurs reprises. Lorsqu'il rejoignit le Maquis, il se considéra comme le héros de ce roman, Jean Valjean et compara le Capitaine Benjamin Sisko à l'inspecteur Javert. (DS9: "For the Uniform") The film tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who, inspired by a kindly bishop, decides to turn his life around. He eventually becomes mayor of a town in France and owner of a factory in that town. He is always alert to the risk of being captured again by police inspector Javert, who is ruthless in hunting down law-breakers, believing they cannot change for the better. One of Valjean's factory workers, Fantine, blames him for her being cast into a life of prostitution. When she dies, he feels responsible and agrees to take care of her illegitimate daughter, Cosette — though he must first escape Javert. Later, when Cosette is grown, they are swept up in the political turmoil in Paris, which culminates in the Paris Uprising of 1832. Attempts to adapt a Les Misérables film from the stage musical have taken place since the late 1980s. In June 2011, from a screenplay by Nicholson, production of the film officially began with Hooper and Mackintosh serving as director and producer, and the main characters were cast later that year. Principal photography commenced in March 2012, and took place in various English locations, including Greenwich, London, Chatham, Winchester, Bath and Portsmouth; as well as in Gourdon, France. Les Misérables premiered in London 5 December 2012, and was released 25 December 2012 in the United States, 26 December 2012, in Australia, and 11 January 2013 in the United Kingdom. The film received generally favourable reviews, with many critics praising the cast, and Jackman, Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne and Samantha Barks being the most often singled out for praise. The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Jackman and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for Hathaway. It also won four British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA), including the Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Hathaway). It received eight Academy Award nominations including Best Picture(the first musical nominated since 2002's winner Chicago) and Best Actor for Jackman, and won three, for Best Sound Mixing, Best Makeup and Hairstyling and Best Supporting Actress for Hathaway. The novel was written by Victor Hugo in 1862, and has been translated into English six times. The main plot (although there are countless sub-plots) concerns a convict named Jean Valjean who is released from prison and then attempts to become an honest man through performing good works. However, Valjean cannot escape the shadow of his past, as personified by Inspector Javert, who pursues him relentlessly throughout the course of the novel. The conflict between the two men provides the backbone of the book, but woven around it are many other plots: the love between Marius (a young student) and Cosette (Valjean's adopted daughter) and Eponine's unrequited pursuit of the former; the student revolutionaries (Les Amis de l'ABC) and the revolution itself; and the story of the Thénardier family (Eponine, Gavroche, Azelma, Monsieur Thénardier, and Madame Thénardier). The Brick also contains numerous chapter-long digressions, including a re-telling of the Battle of Waterloo and a lecture on religion. These are usually skipped on the second read-through by all but the most dedicated of fans. It contains at least one sentence that extends over a page and a half, linked by an excessive number of semicolons. TBA Les Misérables is a production, and this is a general overview of that production. Les Misérables is a Sabbat pack from Montreal. Its members have always primarily consisted of Malkavian antitribu and the most insane members of other clans. NOTE: All dialogue that is in Bold and Italics in this transcript means that the characters are singing (openings starts with the Channel Awesome Production Logo, followed by "2013, two years after his last musical crossover, The Nostalgia Critic has teamed up with Paw and Kyle to sing once more at the convention ConBravo") (cut to the lobby fountain of the hotel ConBravo is taking place at, as a parody song that sounds like the "Prologue/Work Song" from Les Misérables starts to play) (the camera cuts to a hallway moving towards one of the rooms door peepholes) (Inside are The Nostalgia Critic, Paw, and Oancitizen, sitting on the bed watching the 2012 "Les Misérables" movie, groaning in pain rhythmically with the song) Kyle: Look down! Look down! NC/Paw: We can't, we've tried NC: The singing's live Kyle/Paw: Probably the guy who gave Javert that hat Paw: Come on, you guys NC/Kyle: But Russell Crowe – Paw: OK, OK, OK! (cut to Brentalfloss entering the room, wearing a ridiculous version of Javert's uniform, with a cardboard Cap'n Crunch hat, and slinkies on his shoulders) NC/Paw/Kyle: Look down! Look down! NC: Hush up, you guys Brentalfloss: Tenants of Room 24601 Floss: Your punishment has officially begun NC: CUT! Cut! Cut cut cut cut cut! Floss: What? What? (shrugs) NC: Umm...Hey, Floss! Floss: Hey! NC: Whatcha doin'? Floss: Well...singing. NC: Is that what you call it? Floss: Yeah, it's wonderful! I've actually been channeling Russell Crowe (pulls out a soundtrack album of "Russell Crowe Sings The King and I," featuring NC making a Crowe-like face) by listening to his latest album. (the three look at the CD with disgust and fear) Floss: And, uh, I gotta tell ya, he's changing the music world forever. Kyle: (muttering) Yeah, from good to bad. Floss: What? NC: Quick meeting, everybody. Floss: Oh, uh, me, too? Paw: We can't have him in the review. NC: Do you think I don't know that? Kyle: We have to get rid of him. He's like a musical armageddon. Paw: (pauses) The movie or the event? Kyle: Does it matter? NC: Hold on. Think I got an idea. NC: Floss, we've been talking, and we realized that we would like the role much better if you played it as Dr. Mario. Paw: We would? NC: (to Paw) Shut up. (to Floss) Seeing how it ties in much more with your "With Lyrics" series. Floss: Oh, that sounds awesome! (points toward the door) I actually have a Dr. Mario costume with me right here! Kyle: If only it were that simple. (Floss looks confused) You see, we really want you to get in character, and that will require you to...going to medical school. Floss: Well, how long does that take? NC: Oh, only a couple days. Paw: It does? NC: (to Kyle) If he does that again, you can shoot him. (Kyle beams) So, go ahead, Floss. Go in there and get your medical degree! Floss: (nodding) Awesome! That's a great idea! Well, see you guys in a few days! (turns to leave) Kyle: Oh, and if anyone tells you otherwise...they're liars! NC: Should we start this review properly? Kyle: Why start now? Paw: A little background... (A montage of images depicting the Les Misérables novel) Kyle (vo): In 1862, Victor Hugo published his magnum opus: the story of criminal-turned-saint, Jean Valjean, with a title that can roughly be translated as "The Miserable Ones," "The Dispossessed" or even "The Victims." Les Misérables was a worldwide commercial success, though initially a critical failure, with critics taking issue with the novel's many digressions, broad characters and even, gasp, its revolutionary spirit. Sweeping book sales, in the next century-and-a-half, Les Miz would become (montage of) multiple film adaptations, a TV miniseries, a radio drama, a (sound effects from Arm Joe, a retro Les Miz video game – no, really) fighting game...OK, and a musical, which...well, go ahead, Paw. Paw (vo): This story of the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris was forever transformed in collective consciousness when Claude-Michel Schönberg and company decided that this tale would make a great musical, and became known as one of the single greatest musicals of the late 20th century. Paw (vo): Then Tom Hooper decided that this should become a blockbuster movie in 2012, and it became known as the single strangest execution of the 21st century. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. NC: And seeing as we're all Les Miz fans... Kyle: And how it mixes arthouse techniques... Paw: And musical techniques... NC: We figured that this would be the ideal combo. So let's see how some of the most celebrated music of all time is represented. Javert (Russell Crowe): Now, Prisoner 24601... NC/Kyle/Paw: GAAAH! Javert: Your time is up and your parole's begun NC (vo): Who let the kid going through puberty out of the glee club? Javert: And I'm Javert Kyle (vo): That's Russell Crowe, playing Javert, a guard-turned-inspector who becomes obsessed with the prisoner named Jean Valjean, played by Hugh Jackman. Paw (vo): And what terrible crime did Valjean commit to make him so obsessed? He stole a loaf of bread. NC: He did WHAT?! Inexcusable! In a time of rape and murder, bread-stealing will NOT be tolerated! Paw: (tries to calm him down) Critic, Critic...calm. Calm. NC: Have you ever had French bread? Paw: No. NC: Then you wouldn't understand. Valjean (Hugh Jackman): My sister's child was close to death Javert: You'll starve again Kyle (vo): And, yes, it's almost pointless to talk about Russell Crowe's horrible singing, as he's already been the butt of so many jokes. (clip from Animaniacs) Yakko: I'm Yakko! Wakko: I'm Wakko! Dot: And I'm Javert!...Shoot! Director: Cut! (Wakko laughs) (back to the movie) Kyle (vo): But what way does Russell Crowe's singing voice rub people the wrong way? Because, in many respects, it's not actually as bad as you may think. Kyle: (holds up a finger) Hear me out. Kyle (vo): When you get down to it, he's in tune. He knows how to phrase his melodies. But he's using a different style. He's trained in rock and folk, a subdued, naturalistic style. Musical theater is grand and stylized, and because of that, the nature of the aesthetic makes it easy to spot a faker. NC (vo): On top of that, Crowe likes to use his acting method of "If I act like I don't care, maybe I can trick you to care." But in this film, all the other actors seem to have that pesky mindframe of wanting to emote and convey actual emotion. Javert: Forgive me, sir, I would not dare Paw (vo): You can't pretend all the actors sing great, especially when compared to the stage versions. Valjean: Say what you must Paw (vo): But the acting still really pulls through, like here. While on parole, Jean Valjean can't find any work because of his past. But a priest, played by Colm Wilkinson, shows comfort to him. Bishop Myriel (Colm Wilkinson): There is wine here to revive you NC: That's Colm Wilkinson? Paw: Yeah! NC: It can't be! Paw: Why not? NC: I can understand him! NC (vo): He usually sounds like Sean Connery if his lips were being stretched by a rice picker. Wilkinson: The cries in the dark that nobody hears NC (vo): I mean, shouldn't this be more like... (imitates Wilkinson) Dere izh wine here to revive you Kyle: (through his teeth) You will leave that man alone. He is a musical treasure. NC: I will for now, Kyle. But my collection of Colm Wilkinson funny voices will not go untouched. (dramatic note) NC (vo): So Valjean gets arrested for stealing some silver from the priest. But the priest makes up a lie for Valjean, allowing him to be free. This hits pretty close for our hero, (cut to extreme close-up of Valjean) so close that you can almost smell his breath. Valjean: My life he claims for God above NC (vo): Jesus, guy, take a few steps back! I can see the scenery you've been chewing between your teeth! Kyle (vo): Yes, and the wide range of scenery is impressive, too. (sped-up shot of Valjean repeatedly walking up and down hall) In front of the altar, back through the hall, back to the altar again, back through the hall. Paw (vo): Well, you can't say the pacing in the movie is bad! NC: No, no, no. It only works if I do it. (rimshots) Valjean: Another story must begiiiiiiiiin! NC (vo): So, now that Valjean wants to break his parole and turn his life around, I'm sure a good chunk of the movie is going to be showing the process of his transformation from outcast fugitive to a balanced, everyday citizen of France – Paw (vo): Actually, he's the mayor in the next scene. NC (vo): Wait a minute...WHAT? Paw (vo): Yeah. Eight years go by and he's mayor. NC (vo): No, no, no, no, no. Nobody just goes from runaway fugitive to being the mayor of an entire town! Kyle (vo): Yeah. It's usually the other way around. NC: You're missing the point! The transformation could have been a movie all in of itself, and instead the movie just sneezes it at us! NC (vo): I mean, look at all these people suffering! Dead bodies! Children suffering! Why doesn't somebody just say "Come on, ya lazy bastards, be mayor! You like stealing bread out of other people's mouths? That's politics in a nutshell!" Paw: Well, maybe he's getting help from this sister he mentioned earlier, who's not...really in the film...at all... NC: Or her child. Paw: Or her child. Her child...and here, she...grew up, to become...president...whatever...that, you know, how, that's how you do...French people have presidents. Kyle (vo): So Javert, having transformed into Maximus Bonaparte, (cut to Valjean spotting Javert in the factory) distracts Valjean's attention when he tries to settle a factory dispute. Valjean: Deal with this, foreman. Foreman (Michael Jibson): I might have known the cat had claws NC (vo): This results in the factory worker Fantine, played by Anne Hathaway, being tossed out, while Valjean is congratulated by Javert for not being recognized by him. Javert: It seems to me we may have met Valjean: Your face is not a face I would forget NC (vo): (sarcastic laugh) Way to bring in that Broadway training there, Hugh. Paw (vo): So Fantine goes into the cruel, cruel world, selling her hair, her teeth and, ultimately, herself so she can support her child. NC (vo): Why? Hasn't she heard? She can be mayor in a jump cut! Hell, by the time this movie is over, she'll probably be the queen of France! Paw: Next to Valjean's niece or nephew president! NC: Put a sock in it. Paw: OK. Kyle (vo): This leads to the big "I Dreamed a Dream" performance, and... NC/Kyle/Paw: It's fantastic. NC (vo): It's all done in one shot, it keeps the intimacy close, and Anne Hathaway's voice and performance knocks it out of the park. Paw (vo): The choice of moving this scene to after she becomes a prostitute, and not just after she loses her job, (cut back to Fantine on the bed) makes the moment all the more heartbreaking as well. Kyle (vo): It carries shades of Falconetti as Joan of Arc. If the rest of the film were this passionate, we would not be doing this review. NC: In fact, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who wasn't blown away by this scene. (knock at the door) Who the hell? Kyle: I'll get it. Linkara: How dare you do a musical review without me! (NC opens the door wider) The world deserves to hear my angelic voice! NC: Ah, jeesh... Linkara: Don't you wanna hear what I really thought about Anne Hathaway's performance? NC: It's not that, it's just...we already have enough reviewers. NC: Kyle. Deal with it. Kyle: I might have known the cat had claws Linkara: OK, if you're going to insult me, don't do it in song. Kyle: Fine. I'll just say it's my time to shine, and shut the door on you. (He does. A despondent Linkara turns to walk down the hall. Kyle sits back down on the bed.) NC: Think he'll be OK? Kyle: Oh, he'll be fine. Paw: Yeah. I'm sure he'll get over it. Linkara: I dreamed I'd be in this review (inset of Linkara singing the intro to the Moulin Rouge! review) (inset of the title card from Paw's Muppet Christmas Carol review) That SciFi Guy: (walks in front of the shot and picks up an iPod) I just – I, uh, was grabbing my iPod. Linkara: I – I'm trying to do a one-take – That SciFi Guy: (looks back and forth between Linkara and the camera) You're doing, like, a – Linkara: (shoves him out of the way) I dreamed a perfect Les Miz film That SciFi Guy: (re-enters, picks up his earbuds) Sorry, I just kinda forgot my – Linkara: (tries to shove them into SciFi Guy's hands over his protests) I dreamed I'd be on the TV! (he starts wailing on SciFi Guy with his hat) I dreamed that – Linkara: I dreamed life has strung me up...I dreeeeamed... That SciFi Guy: (reaches into the frame with Linkara's hat, puts it back on his head) Uh, here's your hat – Linkara: (points) GET IN THE CORNER! That SciFi Guy: I'm sorry! All right?! Kyle (vo): So Valjean comes across Fantine, looking radiant in her Smeagol makeup, (insert of Gollum) and feels guilty because he let his foreman throw her out. Fantine (Anne Hathaway): Yes, you were there, and turned aside! (spits at him) NC (vo): Yeah, how dare you left a situation you knew nothing about and then asked a guy to do the job he was required to do! Paw (vo): Nevertheless, Valjean does feel guilty (cut to Fantine in a hospital bed) and takes her to the hospital, where she tells him that she has a child who needs to be taken care of in case she dies. (and then she dies) And then she dies. NC (vo): Boy, wasn't that good timing. Paw (vo): What's not good timing is that Javert discovers Valjean after he's confessed his true identity. NC: Why did he do that? Paw (vo): Well, because another man was confused for him, and so coincidentally being brought to the court on the same day, so that Valjean revealed himself in the courtroom, except that Javert wasn't there, so the judge, for some reason, let him leave so he could go to the hospital, where Javert caught up later. NC: (sarcastic) Oh, that old story! NC (vo): But Valjean escapes and vows to take care of her daughter, Cosette, (cut to the inn) who lives with Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. Kyle (vo): Why didn't you use their character names? NC (vo): Because it's Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. That's who they always play. M. Thénardier (Sacha Baron Cohen): Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir Kyle (vo): I find it extremely ironic that Cohen is doing an exaggerated French accent in a movie where everyone is French, yet everyone else in the movie has a British accent, despite the fact that Cohen is one of the few British people there. Paw (vo): But they shake it up with some of the more off-beat humor, like – Paw (vo): Oh, GOD! Are they raping Santa?! Kyle (vo): Wouldn't that technically be Father Christmas? NC (vo): I thought it'd be Père Nöel. Paw (vo): Who cares?! They're raping Santa! NC (vo): Well, maybe that's their way of making this a Christmas film. I can just see the ads now. NC (vo): Les Misérables: A musical romp of (montage of) death, starvation and raping Santa! (caption: MERRY CHRISTMAS! FA LA LA LA LA) Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! Paw: But why would they do something like that? NC: Because it's Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. They're all about doing shock humor like that. Malcolm: (exaggerated French accent) Zat is not ze only reason! NC: Malcolm, Rachel, what are you doing here? Rachel: It's not a shock value that keeps them getting hired! There's soooo much more! NC: Like what? Rachel: When all the angst is too much to take Malcolm: But who to pick to shell out the laughs without appearing (picture of Jar Jar Binks) lame or half-assed? Rachel: When you need two Brits, (wedding photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton, with everyone but them Xed out) seasoned and legit, (photos of Cohen and Carter) both crazier than shit – there's one pick for it Malcolm: Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter Rachel: Both a little nutty, and often very slutty Malcolm: No need for a big audition Rachel: Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter Malcolm: Grab a costume and throw 'em in a room Rachel/Malcolm: There's no point in trying to hate them Rachel: They become their own cliché Malcolm: At least it gets them stable pay Rachel/Malcolm: So give a hearty "What the hey?" today, the players known as Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter! NC (vo): So Valjean comes to take Cosette away, (Valjean and Cosette walk off together) who seems to take the whole dead mother thing pretty well – I dare even say it's just glanced over – but, to be fair, if you were a little girl, you'd probably be happy to suddenly have Wolverine as your father, too. Kyle (vo): So much so that it calls for a song that they Scotch-taped onto the film just to get a Best Original Song nomination. Valjean: Never more alone, never more apart Javert: Valjean! Paw (vo): But Javert spots the fleeing Valjean and chases after him. NC (vo): Not since I shook my head in a room with no lights on have I seen an action scene so well-shot! Paw (vo): But, luckily, he is helped out by a person he saved from a runaway cart earlier. Fauchelevent (Stephen Tate): You saved my life, m'sieur. Valjean: Fauchelevent, we need a place of sanctuary, this child and I. I need to disappear. We'll give thanks for – Paw: Not too concerned about getting caught, are ya? NC: "M'sieur, we have to keep quiet!" Kyle: You may not sing like this! NC (vo): So Valjean escapes Javert, Cosette finds a new place to call home, and they live the rest of their days together. NC: And that was Les Misérables, everybody. Man, they had a lot to cram in there, but I think they did a pretty good job. Paw: No, they – it's not over yet. I mean, this was barely the first third. NC: ...The first third. (Paw nods; Kyle strokes his chin) They had enough story to fill a Christopher Nolan flick. Paw: Oh, no. There's much, much more. Paw (vo): Like Javert swearing an oath to the stars, even though, ironically, you can barely see the stars. NC (vo): Well, at the very least, this'll give more time for the character to bloom. I mean, we can see the connection between a new father and daughter and see how their relationship will evolve – Paw (vo): Nope! Next scene, she's a teenager, and it's nine years later. NC (vo): OH, COME ON! NC: I thought this was supposed to be, like, the musical of emotion and feelings! Kyle: It is! NC: Well, how? NC (vo): It's passing over all the essential relationships and transformations that create drama! You can do whole entire musicals based on one of the changes these characters go through! But instead, they squeeze each change into one song and then dump in more characters and stories not needed! Why can't they just focus on the already heavy characters and storylines that they have? Paw (vo): Well, they do...while also throwing in (montage of) Marius, Éponine, Gavroche and Enjolras. NC (vo): Four more characters with four more storylines to add to the jumble? NC: Next you'll be telling me they're bringing back characters they already got rid of! Paw: (laughs) Look. M. Thénardier: Please... NC (vo): JESUS CHRIST! AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH! Paw (vo): But that's all from the original stage show! NC (vo): Which is an adaptation of the book the size of the Bible! Kyle (vo): Critic does bring up a good point. (Jurassic Park book cover and movie poster side-by-side) Doing a film adaptation is tricky enough already. (footage from stage musical) But this is a medium transfer (inset of book cover) from a medium transfer. (a page in some book) You go from a book, which audiences will usually allow to be as long as it wants, (footage from musical) to a Broadway show, which audiences usually allow to be three hours with an intermission, (footage from movie) to a movie, which audiences usually allow two-and-a-half hours at most, with no intermission. NC (vo): Exactly. If they wanted this adaptation to work, they had to make bigger changes without being afraid of the purist fanbase. NC: Whatever confrontation pops up, they shouldn't be expected to just run and hide. Kyle: It's Brentalfloss! NC: Run and hide! (they do) Floss: (enters holding a piece of paper) Hey, guys! You were right! It is easy to become a doctor! (shot of NC, Kyle and Paw crammed into the closet) I got my medical certification in just one day! Paw: (whispering) How is that possible? NC: Shhh! Floss: Where'd you guys go? Oh, wait, I should stay in character. Hey, you guys, where are you? I have come to play Javert! I am here for that! (the guys groan and plug their ears) Do not forget me! Do not forget my name! 2460-oooooone! Hmmm, they don't seem to be here. Maybe they're in the lobby. (leaves) NC: Insert coming out of the closet joke here. Paw: (rimshots, laughs) Hey, I got it. Elisa: "But vhy vould a vampire live on Sesame Street vhen Muppets don't have any blood?" Floss: Oh, hey, there. Why are you talking so funny? Elisa: Why are you talking so funny? Floss: I'm rehearsing for a musical review in room 24601 and I can't seem to find them, goodbye. (leaves) Hello, you guys, where did you go? Elisa: (delighted) A musical review! (runs off) NC (vo): OK, so we have a gritty, realistic...musical, that has tons of characters and story to develop. Paw (vo): Yes, and they tackle it in the most gritty and realistic way. Paw (vo): Marius and Cosette meet up and instantly fall in love. NC (vo): That's stupid. Paw (vo): Yeah, yeah, that is stupid. Kyle (vo): Not to mention the love triangle it generates between the two of them and Éponine. NC (vo): And let me guess: the one that nobody loves is the one that has the most development. Kyle (vo): Pretty much. Marius (Eddie Redmayne): A heart full of love Éponine (Samantha Barks): He was never mine to lose Marius/Cosette (Amanda Seyfried): A heart full of you Éponine: Why regret what cannot be? Marius: A single look and then I knew Paw: Yeah, sorry, guys...this, this stuff just doesn't happen in real life. It's cheesy even on Broadway. When do two people see each other and then instantly fall in – Elisa: (enters) Hey, I heard there was a musical review – Elisa: In here... Paw: (coughs nervously) There is...it's about Les Misérables. Elisa: Oh, yeah? What were you guys...talking about? Paw: How silly it is when people see each other in musicals and instantly fall in love. Elisa: Oh, yeah...that's ridiculous. Elisa: It's weird Paw: And, yet, when you think about it logically, it's so obviously wrong Elisa: In real life, it can take so much time just to find a good guy Paw: In real life, it can be really hard just to tell someone (voice breaks) "Hi!" Elisa: But in a musical, courtships don't take long Paw: Because in a musical, who cares about logic when people can break into song? Elisa: Right... Paw: Right... Elisa: In real life, there's no guy who could capture my heart with one glance Paw: In real life, how could one chance encounter lead straight to romance? Elisa/Paw: Wouldn't that be stupid? Elisa: A hasty hello Paw: And they're ready to go Elisa/Paw: Pick their first baby's name Paw: Paul Junior. Elisa: Vlad. Elisa/Paw: What if we were in that kind of song? Puppeteer: (as Kermit the Frog) So I hear you guys are in love. (they laugh) Why aren't you saying anything? (they keep laughing; the Kermit puppet looks sad) Elisa/Paw: Looking into each other's eyes Elisa: You'd be a dashing young hero Paw: And you'd be the intriguing ingenue Elisa/Paw: In a way, you have to love that kind of song Elisa/Paw: Cause that's how I feel about yooooouuuuu Paw: (tickling her) Are you my snookies? Elisa: (pinching his cheeks) Yooouuu! Yooouuu! (they keep giggling as NC and Kyle watch in confusion) NC: This review is carrying more subplots than the movie. Kyle: Well, at least we couldn't possibly get any more. Todd in the Shadows: Guys, guys! You won't believe what I saw! NC: NO! Kyle: NO! NC: NO! NO! Todd: (trying to keep the door open) It was a plaidipus bunny! Kyle: What's a plaidipus – ? NC: Don't ask! Todd: But it had plaid-colored skin! NC: Yeah?! Todd: It had a tail made out of webbed feet! NC: OOOUUUT!!! Kyle: A tail made of webbed feet... NC: I'm sure it's not as impressive as it sounds. NC: I suppose this is as good a spot as ever to take a break. Kyle: But we have to do it in traditional Les Miz style. NC: How? Kyle: With a song big enough to bring people back, but not too big as to overshadow the final song. NC: Oh. You mean like... NC: One big song Paw/Elisa: (holding hands) My foolish heart is yours to take Todd: (sitting at the desk in his hotel room) PLAIDIPUS BUNNAAAAY! Paw/Elisa: Let's take a short commercial break Kyle: (adjusting his collar in the mirror) Time to show off my great voice Todd: It had 12 nipples and breathed fire Kyle: La-la-la-la-yo-de-lay-hee-hooooo Todd: It had the voice of James Earl Jones Linkara: (in front of the dark backdrop) Maybe I'll be in this part Kyle: Linkara can't be in this part Linkara: Seriously?! That SciFi Guy: (re-enters the frame) Grabbing my charger... Linkara: (shoves him aside) I WILL END YOU! Malcolm/Rachel: The song Elisa: My e-mail... All: It's on Elisa: fangs... All: Let's end Elisa: forthememories... All: Act one! Elisa: @vampire.com. Todd: PLADIDPUS BUNNAAAAY! Floss: Where's the Critic? I don't get it NC: (appears at the bottom of the shot) We don't need any more help with this review All: One big song NC: So kick your seat back and have a couple beers All: One big song NC: Watch this commercial with our voices ringing in your ears All: One song big...big song one...one big sooooooooooong! Plaidipus Bunny: One big song NC: So, just a recap. NC (vo): Paris is in the middle of starting Revolution Number Umpteen Kajillion, because they don't like the way the poor are being treated. Paw: That's a very rushed way of putting it. NC: If I put it in song, you'd say it was brilliant. Kyle (vo): (Éponine sings "On My Own") Éponine sings a song about the friend zone, (cut to Marius singing "Red and Black") and Marius sings like he swallowed an oboe. Marius: To be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight Kyle (vo): Judging by his voice, Marius is going to grow up to be Charlie Brown's teacher. Marius: And what was wrong seems riiiiiiight (the rest of Marius' singing is replaced by the "voice" of Charlie Brown's teacher) NC (vo): This all leads up to the big attack led by the peasants of the town, as they set up the barricades all over. Kyle (vo): Now, in the stage version, (pictures of) the barricades are giant, massive sets, truly something to behold. (movie version of barricades) But in this version, they're all squeezed into tiny corners of the town, allowing, of course, to get nothing but countless more close-ups. (close-ups of various characters) Because the cinematography in this film is awful. I want to feel emotion for these people, not count how many zits they have! Paw: (turning away from Elisa) Now hold on a minute. Now, those shots were done so you could feel the intimacy and the... (turns back to Elisa) closeness of the characters. NC: Yeah, and besides, there's a lot of other good cinematography in this, like the crane shots, the tracking shots, the still shots. Kyle: First off... (crane shot of the square) Kyle (vo): The crane shots are only done at the beginning or end of a scene. That's it. (more crane shots) Not to mention, they all look like they're from a Pixar version of Fiddler on the Roof. (tracking shots) Second, the tracking shots are great, but the editing never allows us enough time to show them. In fact, most of the editing in this movie is so rapid that you can barely even follow what's going on. Elisa: Come on, it can't be as bad as all that. Kyle: No? Elisa: No. Elisa: I enjoy the cinematography – Paw: (in a low voice) Not now, not now, not now. Elisa: But I have something to say about – Paw: It doesn't matter. He hasn't had a song yet. Elisa: Oh. NC: (with a sheepish smile) Sorry. Nella: Is somebody doing a musical review in here?! Kyle: Shots! Kyle: Others are pronouns Kyle: Still others conjunctions Kyle: You get the idea Well, I'm just so glad that I could finally do a solo for all of you – Paw: Should we talk about our interests or hobbies? Elisa: (laughs) Why, when we're so in love? Kyle: Hey, there's a Buffy marathon going on downstairs. Elisa: (excited) Girl power and vampires?! Paw: Cock-blocker! NC (vo): So Éponine disguises herself as a boy, which is pointless, seeing how there's (peasant women at the barricades) clearly women in the barricades in this version, (Éponine gets shot) and sacrifices her life to save her not-boyfriend. Marius: (cradling the dying Éponine in his arms) I'm here. Éponine: That's all I need to know, and rain Marius: Will make the flowers...grow NC (vo): He, of course, (Marius carries Éponine's body away) shows his devotion and respect for one that loved him so much (Marius hands a letter to Gavroche) by immediately sending a love letter to his real sweetheart. Hey, three's a crowd. Paw (vo): But a nice interception by Valjean, who grabs the letter and decides he should go down there to protect Marius, (Valjean approaches the rebels dressed as a soldier) as he might be the only hope his daughter has to leading a civil life, given the social and financial status of her father. Kyle (vo): But not before secretly fleeing a captured Javert, (Valjean cuts Javert's wrist ties) as he knows the rebels would most likely kill him. NC (vo): And, strangely enough, Crowe does manage to...act in this scene. (Valjean pulls out his gun while Javert is walking away) For a brief moment, it actually sounds like he gives a damn. Javert: Once a thief, forever a thief NC: Ah! There he is! There's the autopilot schmuck I remember! Paw: (laughing) He sucks so much... Kyle: (laughing bitterly) He has Oscars... NC (vo): Valjean then sings about how important it is to protect Marius, describing him like a son – a son he's only known for a few minutes. Valjean: God on high Kyle (vo): This is especially disrespectful to the original, as the song was supposed to be sung quietly and soothing. Here, he belts it out. Valjean: If I die, let me die Kyle (vo): I'm surprised he doesn't wake up the entire army. NC: Oh, and I suppose Colm Wilkinson did much better? Kyle: He did! Much better! NC: Oh, and his (imitating with his hand) awkward lip movements didn't result for hilarious sounds like this? (Cut to Wilkinson onstage) Wilkinson: Bring me (hoarsely) ho-ome? Kyle: Well, OK, maybe not every note was perfect, but I don't – Wilkinson: Ho-ome? Paw: Did he swallow a fish? Kyle: (flatly) It's still better than Jackman. NC: Oh, I don't know. Jackman never sounded like a vomiting cat in reverse. Wilkinson: Ho-ome? Ho-ome? Ho-ome? Kyle: (upset) Stop it! NC: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the (misspelled caption of) Barking Wilconsons. Paw: He does sound like a twat! Paw (vo): The next day, it looks like our revolutionaries have no chance. Soldier (Hadley Fraser): You have no chance! Paw (vo): In one of the more touching scenes, the young boy Gavroche sacrifices his life to fight for what he believes in. (shoot-out between rebels and soldiers) This leads to the final battle between the soldiers and the rebels. Kyle (vo): Oh, I do hope it's all done in close, tight shots so that nobody can figure out what's going on. NC (vo): Javert looks over the destruction and gives a very tender moment: (scene of) handing over his medal to the dead boy for his bravery. Now, this really begs the question: The symbol for Les Miz, both the movie and the stage production, is (posters featuring) the child Cosette. (back to Gavroche) But shouldn't it be the boy Gavroche? I mean, what does (shots of) Cosette do? She looks scared and gets married. (shots of) Gavroche is constantly active, sacrifices his life, and has much more of a character. Why isn't he the symbol of the movie? Paw: Because he can't do this. (the guys lean toward the camera with wide, childlike eyes and pouts; this dissolves into an illustrated version of the same, with a Les Mis-style flag behind them) Kyle (vo): Valjean manages to escape with an unconscious Marius and comes across Javert waiting. (Valjean walks past Javert) But Javert is so confused by Valjean's honor and kind heart that not only does he let him go, (Javert drops his gun into the muck) but he questions his own morals. Javert: Who is this man? NC (vo; annoyed): God. Hearing Crowe debate ethics is like watching a rock argue with itself. Javert: Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief Rico: (from Judge Dredd): LAAAW! Javert: There is no way to go oooooooon NC: Yeesh! Paw: Really? Really? That – that was the best sound effect they could come up with? Kyle: Way to kill him off with dignity. NC: Yeah. What other cartoon sounds do you think we could put in there to up the drama? Kyle: Hey! NC: Sorry, I couldn't resist. NC (vo): So Marius speaks with Valjean... NC: On the Titanic... NC (vo): And tells Marius that he wants him to marry his daughter, but he can't be around for it because...reasons that are explained much, much better in the book. Valjean: It's for Cosette this must be faced Paw (vo): So Valjean vanishes, (scenes of Marius and Cosette's wedding) and Marius does end up marrying Cosette, just as he finds out the location of her father and, thus, goes to see him on his deathbed. (a dying Valjean sits in a chair) Or...chair. Valjean: Now you are here NC (vo): And is it me, or does a guy who's about to die actually look better than he did at (shot of) the beginning of the movie? Fantine's ghost: Come with me where chains will never bind you Valjean: (gasps) I am ready, Fantine. Kyle (vo): So Valjean finally passes, the spirit of Fantine is there to greet him, (shot of dead characters standing atop a massive barricade) and all the souls who perished are joined again, next to the (shot of) sculpture that even Napoleon called a giant eyesore. Chorus: Tomorrow coooooooomes! NC: Say, is it me, or has the room gotten a lot less talented? Floss: Hey, guys, I've been looking all over for you! Are we gonna start this review or what? Paw: We would, but... (shrugs) Kyle: Well, it's just that we kind of, um... NC: ...finished it already. Floss: What? But I never got a chance to do my Russell Crowe voice! I warned you that I would not give in (the guys cringe) and I will sing like this, it's really cool, 2460-ooooooone! I will sing like this! I am Russell Crowe! Blahbedy-dahbedy-doooooo! NC: Russell Crowe is awful! Floss: (shocked) What? Kyle: He is. Paw: Everyone knows it, man. NC: I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but a musician trying to learn from Russell Crowe is like a public speaker trying to learn from a mime. I'm sorry. Floss: Who are these jerks, this group of critical nerds NC: So, final thoughts on the movie? Paw: Well, I think it's great. Paw (vo): It did a wonderful job to update the musical, as well as adapt it in a way that moviegoers would enjoy. It has its problems here and there, but I think it's fantastic just to see it in movie form. Kyle: Well, I thought it was terrible. Kyle (vo): It's clumsy. It's awkward. It's full of moment upon moment that doesn't work. And it commits the biggest crime any adaptation could: It made me question whether or not the material it's adapting was that damn great to begin with. Paw/Kyle: (leaning toward NC) Yoooouuuuu? NC: (looks nervously between them) Well, uh, as someone who enjoyed the musical but acknowledges that it had problems, I think the film is kinda similar. NC (vo): Some moments hit it right out of the park, and others don't even make it up to bat. So, on the whole, I'm glad I saw it. But I don't think it's great. Kyle: Wait, so it's (points to Paw) like, (points to self) dislike, (points to NC) and indifferent. NC: Well, hell, that's pretty much what the rest of the critics of the world thought. NC (vo): There's no real majority consensus. It's one of those movies that is so hard to get a fix on that pretty much everybody had a different reaction to it. Paw: Well, what the hell kind of a conclusion is that? Kyle: We need some kind of opinion to force on the viewers. Paw: Yeah! NC: Listen! (he looks into the camera) Do you hear the critics sing? NC/Kyle/Paw: Sing about how they don't agree? NC: Will you draw your own conclusion Paw: It's all subjective Kyle: Just don't be pretentious, that's the key NC/Kyle/Paw: There's even some people who didn't like Toy Story 3! NC/Kyle/Paw: Do you hear the critics sing? NC: "Ho-ome?" (Kyle and Paw smack him in the head) Ow! NC: Ahh, home sweet home. (stops walking and turns around and notices Malcom and Rachel dressed as Sokka and Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender) Katara (Rachel): Hello, Critic. We're Waterbenders. NC: Ohh, look, I'm not really into new-age religion. Pretty much they all tell me I'm still going to hell. Sokka (Malcom): No, no, we're not here for that. I'm Sokka, and this is my sister Katara. (*he prononces the names different from the show. probably based on the small name critcism Doug recieved in his V-logs) NC: (beat) Well, obviously! And, uh, what's your guys' story? Katara: Well, I am the motherly, emotionally center. Sokka: And I'm funny! NC: (beat, nods in agreement) Uh-huh, well, look, can you two freaks waterbend the hell outta here? Katara: Not until you save the franchise. NC: Franchise!?! What franchise? Sokka: There is a great evil that has damaged our world, and only you can restore balance. NC: (looking in disbelief) What are you talking about? Yakko: I'm Yakko! Wakko: I'm Wakko! Javert: And I'm Javert! Le Wiki Les Misérables est une encyclopédie libre francophone concernant sur l'univers Les Misérables de Victor Hugo, comme son nom l'indique. Vos contributions sont les bienvenues ! Les Misérables was a novel written by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862 in French, and is widely considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century. In September 1908, Indiana Jones was assigned to read Les Misérables in his room at Hotel Lepic by his tutor, Miss Seymour, possibly as punishment for staying out too late one night. Jones remarked sarcastically that it was a great title. It is unlikely that he finished the novel before he slipped out in the evening to go to a party with Norman Rockwell. Les Misérables was a novel by the French author Victor Hugo which was published in 1862. The Picard family owned a rare print copy of Les Misérables which was kept at their ancestral home in La Barre. Jean-Luc Picard showed the novel to Jake Sisko in 2372. (DS9 novel: Trapped in Time) Les Misérables was one of Michael Eddington's favorite novels. In 2373, Eddington compared himself to Jean Valjean and Benjamin Sisko to Inspector Javert, the policeman who pursued Valjean for simply stealing a loaf of bread, during Sisko's pursuit of the Maquis leader. (DS9 episode: "For the Uniform") Captain Sisko would later reflect that Eddington's capture may have destroyed his illusion of being like the character in Les Misérables. (DS9 novel: The Badlands, Part IV) Les Misérables is a 2012 musical historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper, based on the long-running theatrical production of the same name. Les Misérables is a 1980 French musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (with Herbert Kretzmer adapting it to English) about prisoner Jean Valjean, who breaks his parole and starts his life anew, with officer Javer looking for him all the way. It is based on the book of the same name, written by Victor Hugo, and is the third longest running musical on Broadway. Jim Henson saw Les Misérables on Broadway several times while living at the Sherry-Netherland in New York City in the late 1980s, and he especially adored Jean Valjean's heartfelt solo "Bring Him Home." Louise Gold sang the song at Henson's New York memorial service on May 21, 1990. Weil Jean Valjean einst Brot stahl, damit seine Familie nicht verhungern musste, wurde er für 20 lange Jahre ins Gefängnis gesperrt. Auch die Freilassung auf Bewährung bringt nicht die erhoffte Erlösung, denn der Inspektor Javert folgt ihm auf Schritt und Tritt und lauert auf jeden kleinsten Ausrutscher. Um ihm zu entkommen und endlich ein neues Leben anfangen zu können, nimmt Jean eine neue Identität an. Als er die, in sehr ärmlichen Verhältnissen lebende, Fantine trifft, scheint sein Schicksal sich endlich zu wenden, denn er verliebt sich in sie. Doch Fantine hat ihre ganz eigenen Probleme. Um ihre Tochter ein bisschen zu unterstützen würde sie alles tun und schließlich verkauft sie sogar ihren Körper. Doch die Prostitution ist ein hartes Geschäft und Frauen, die sich gegen übergriffige Kunden wehren, haben keine guten Chancen. Die tragischen Ereignisse nehmen ihren Lauf. Les Misérables (dt.

(DS9: ) Les Misérables ist eines von Michael Eddingtons Lieblingsbüchern. (DS9: ) Möglicherweise ist die Hauptfigur dieses Romans Inspiration für den Namen der Val Jean. Les Misérables is a novel by the French Human writer Victor Hugo, published in 1862. It was one of Michael Eddington's favorite books and when in 2373, Captain Sisko was obsessively pursuing him for having betrayed Starfleet and the Federation in order to join the Maquis, Eddington recommended that Sisko read the book and pay close attention to the character of Inspector Javert who pursed a man, Jean Valjean, for twenty years for having stolen a loaf of bread. Eddington saw himself as Valjean, the victim of a monstrous injustice who spends his entire life helping people, making noble sacrifices for others; a romantic dashing figure fighting the good fight against insurmountable odds. Sisko, who had read the book, did not care for Edington's comparison but during his pursuit of Eddington, he decided to read it again coming to the realization that he was seen as the villain, as Javert, in this scenario and had to behave accordingly. (DS9: "For the Uniform") The use of Les Misérables in "For the Uniform" had its origins in input from Ira Steven Behr, Hans Beimler, and Ronald D. Moore. After Behr thought up the idea of Eddington sending a book to Sisko, Beimler and Moore selected Les Misérables to be the specific book. (AOL chat, 1997 ) It should be noted that throughout the episode, both Captain Sisko and Michael Eddington attribute Javert's pursuit of Valjean to Valjean stealing a loaf of bread when instead Valjean's crime was breaking parole after stealing the bread.
