Epicnine

As mentioned before, Eponine is the girl you seem to relate to in high school. The one who wants to be noticed by the boy she loves, and the one who always seems to have the misfortune. Eponine was brought up alongside Cosette. She lives in poverty with her parents while Cosette is thriving with Valjean. The tables have turned and she has become a girl who lives in the shadows. Fun Fact of the blog post today is: Samantha Bark, the girl who portrays Eponine in the movie, is part of the cast in which made up a broadway production of Les Mis. Obviously this girl has got it going on. Samantha is such a creative person in that she really plays Eponine well. By this I mean really really well. I don't know if it's because of her broadway experience but she takes into account the surroundings she faces. Eddie Redmayne, who plays Marius, and Samantha have an undeniable chemistry that makes you believe in their love, but sadly Marius falls for Cosette, by which does not know that she used to live with his best friend. Eponine is one of the tragedies of the musical, like many of the barricade members she dies. Which makes our hearts melt because who doesn't want a little Team Marius/Eponine action. You can see the full effects of Marius' love towards her. He looks upon her as if there was a love that could've happend or a love that happend and passed. Eponine will always be a tear-jerking character because she represents the dream that has died. Whether you want that for yourself, or it has already happend she shows the real emotion that you feel. Samantha does an excellent job of portraying Eponine as her view shifts from wanting to love Marius to wanting to help Marius find love. She is the good in all of us and certainly the brave we all want to be. I believe that she will always be one of my favorite characters just simply because she is a light in the dark and her being a Thenardier the good egg amongst the bad. For now, Asian Out!!
