lesbianjolras:thelibrarina:thelibrarina:will you take your place with me?Grantaire is the first—and in this shot, the only—one to follow Enjolras up the stairs. Grantaire, “incapable” of believing, thinking, willing, etc, is the first one to follow him when he asks.Maybe he just likes the view?WAIT I NEVER NOTICED THIS BECAUSE IT’S SO IMPORTANTin the dvd commentary tom hooper talks about ascending stairs being a running theme for approaching goodness or whatever, most notably because valjean always leaves javert at the bottom of a flight of stairs (once when he’s carrying fantine away, once when he’s carrying marius away)and grantaire is the fucking first to follow enjolras up the stairs of morality every time even though he’s a cynic he cares so much about everything and tries to hard not to and enjolras thinks he’s incapable of believing, thinking, caring, etc. but the movie disagreesi wish i had good meta to write about this but i’m just sobbing on my keyboard -- source link
