#the one irredeemable flaw#in the les miserables 10th anniversary concert#is that enjolras looks like he should be playing gaston#this greasy finance bro is not someone i would follow to the barricades#(also not a fan of michael ball but i do not care about marius whereas i do care about ExR)#(and while we're here what kind of hideous love child of laura ashley and gunne sax did they put judy kuhn in?)#i wasn't around for 2012 les mis fandom and the film did do grantaire dirty in drink with me but at least they look good#and what is the purpose of a film adaptation but to provide the fodder for out of context gif sets?#you can play a character you don't fit physically in plot-relevant ways but hair and makeup need to do their due diligence#just as the actor ought to do due diligence in speech and accent and bearing#i love bernadette peters but she has to deign to look middle aged if she's going to play sally durant or mama rose#or fucking desiree armfeldt#(disclaimer: i have only seen these performances in clips on youtube)#(but bernadette peters has looked basically the same for my entire lifetime)#(good for you but if you play a character who sings about her age you need to actually look old)
