While rewatching Les Mis the other night, I noticed something. It’s not exactly bothering me, more kind of what?????how
So, in the scene where they hold a parade in honor of Général Lamarque – AK when everything goes to shit – all the Amis are in the scene somewhere. Grantaire, too.
Just after they got up
He is right at the front. Probably screamed “Shot-gun!”, while getting on.
The carriage turning the corner, with the boy in flag-waving glory
Grantaire is still sitting there.
Just as the guards stop them after – Combeferre is just super cool here, shush – Graintaire is still there, eyes on the fearless leader instead of on the guns
and then?
????
There is some Chaos and all scatter
It’s a two-minute affair, though
And Marius is on a horse and Enjolras is sprinting like a madman to get to the Musain as fast as possible.
And R just
?????
How is he already there and comfortable?
How did he get there so fast? When? Is there a shortcut? And he lost his jacket and cap, too (thank god)
And Marius is like “Come on! The Revolution has started!” but I mean… he was There? Shouldn’t he KNOW????
Did he just decide that he was way to sobber for that shit, while in the middle of the chaotic face-off, and wandered off, or what?
Maybe something along the line of: “Was that part of the plan? What do I do? E?? Oh, you are occupied with shooting at people – badass. What was the next part of the plan…? AH! Regroup at the Musain! Alright then.” And then he just left.
He definitely knew he was too sober for what was about to go down
