Various takes on Orestes Fasting And Pylades Drunk throughout the years:
Les Miserables (1934)
Les Miserables (1957)
Shoujo Cosette (2007)
Les Miserables (2012)I admit it, the 1957 one fucking stings.
Props to Shoujo Cosette E and R being bafflingly calm about the whole thing, though. “Ah sure it’ll be grand, like! Somebody else will pick up where we left off.”
1957 though
I need to watch that some time.
Les Miserables fan: Oh, that looks heartreaking! I need to find it!
WHAT HAS THIS STORY DONE TO ME.Oh god the 1957 one! Now I want to watch it.
It can be found here on Youtube, the whole thing!
And yes it looks agonising. I’ve only watched that scene, I’m not sure I can bring myself to watch any more.
