Continuity mistake: Enjolras is holding a book during his protest which disappears and reappears at will.
Les Miserables (2012)
Directed by: Tom Hooper
Starring: Helena Bonham Carter, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen
Factual error: In the scene where Javert commits suicide, you can see the back side of Notre Dame in the background. However the river Seine does not flow in the direction as shown in the following scenes. The river Seine flows from the east to the west in Paris, not the other way round.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of "Stars" the camera is behind Javert while he faces out towards the city. On the right, you can see clouds being illuminated by an absent moon that is off screen but behind said clouds yet the moon reflects off of the left side of his face.
Trivia: Anne Hathaway won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role as Fantine, even though she only had 15 minutes of screen time.
Trivia: The Bishop of Digne is played by Colm Wilkinson, who was the original Jean Valjean on both the West End and Broadway.
Fantine: I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living!
Jean Valjean: To love another person is to see the face of God.
Thenardier: Everybody raise a glass!
Madame Thenardier: Raise it up the master's ass!
