This portrayal is underrated. he has this eerie serenity about him, it may not be a showy as other versions, as vocally impressive, but I feel those simmering repressed emotions under his softer tones, and the total desensitization portrayed in the way he walks the lip of death, trusting his feet like he blindly trusts his perception of God and order. Like he's daring it all to crumble beneath him whilst knowing that nothing can until he lets it.

Stars is such a beautiful song! Crowe’s performance is subdued, as it needed to be. Comparing his performance to previous Broadway performances is comparing apples to oranges. Broadway singers work on a technical level that works for an audience sitting far away…grand gestures, higher volume, massive emotions, so that it communicates well from a distance. Movies and acting don’t have to work that way. I admire Crowe’s performance here because he did it as a screen actor… and he pulled it off.

I think Russell Crowe's choice to play Javert as intentionally stoic and flat is appropriate for the character. That kind of repression of emotion is a very common coping mechanism with children who survive trauma, as he certainly did given that he was born in prison and undoubtedly had a very difficult life. As an adult he relied on that stoicism to literally stay sane when faced with the cruelty he not only witnessed every day, but directly caused himself with his blind loyalty to a broken system of law. And then, when forced to confront his emotions and guilt and the realization that the law was not the perfect shelter of order he so desperately craved (if I do everything right, if I follow the rules, I will not be hurt, another common coping mechanism of survived trauma), he was so overwhelmed he ended his life. It's a fascinating dichotomy compared to Valjean's coping mechanisms which are so different, despite the traumas being so similar.

I've seen the other performances of this song and while they may be considered more technically correct, they don't convey a tenth of the emotion Crowe is able to imo. And it only makes his character's ending arc all the more powerful. I personally don't even love Les Mis as a whole, but I tear up when he pins his medal to Gavroche's chest... you can see his entire philosophy of life breakdown in his eyes... masterful.

Javerts song 'stars' very much sounds like a lullaby to me now! It makes me more endeared to the song now and your breakdown is helping me understand the character more.

Ridiculously underrated performance. This is a movie, not a broadyway performance. The acting and the singing go hand in hand- you can hear the conviction and emotion in his voice, and you can see it on his face too . . . in this scene, Russell Crowe IS Javert- the fanatical inspector who is obsessed with tracking down a bread thief who broke his parole . . . only it's more complicated than that. This is exemplified extremely well in the movie, and it's part makes this a great performance. Also, his voice is good- he isn't trying to sound like someone he isn't, and this is what the film-makers intended. Again, this is NOT supposed to be like a broadway performance. Why can't some people get that through their heads?

I don't see the criticisms of Russell's Javert, he has so much raw emotion in his expressions and his words, yeah he's quite monotone but give the guy a break, singing live on set in front of cameras opposed to recording lyrics in a studio is a far more daunting and less finessed experience, here you get raw and circumstantial emotion which means the singing sounds more real more natural but also rougher and manipulated by the elements. I love this scene the cinematography is exquisite, the framing the editing and that shot of his foot over the ledge foreshadowing not only his fall but showing how precarious his hold on this unjust and flawed world is, yet his unshakable faith in justice won't let him fall. Then later when the shot is repeated in the viaduct scene as he's lost his faith in justice and can't come to terms with how the world is different than he always imagined it and no longer feels that he can hold onto this world.

Compare Russell Crowe's performance with others singing Javert's part and the difference is not just the quality of his voice, but the delivery. The more 'polished' singers don't fit the part of a man born in a prison, as Javert was. Mr. Crowe's voice is strong enough, but his control is so well done he conveys the uneasiness of a man who must justify his existence by acting without mercy. Of the many voices in this play, his voice is the most authentic.

In the film's context, I think it makes sense that this song is placed right before the 9-year jump to 1832 instead of in 1832 after Javert loses Valjean during the Thenardiers robbery scene. It illustrates better Javert's intentions and his duty to the law, and how Javert never forgets about his duty to bring Valjean to justice and see him safe behind bars.

I love his take on Javert tbh. I feel like from his portrayal there’s the other side of Javert that could be vulnerable and uncertain about his laws and beliefs. He shows that this is someone who’s having doubts about the system that he long trusted and has real feelings, for sadness or righteousness. Obviously Broadway’s portrayals are the more determined and tough kind of Javert. But I think Russel’s version fits perfectly in the movie and I wonder why didn’t this kind of portrayal came out earlier!

When Javert became part of the police, he swore an oath to uphold the laws of France upon pain of death. After witnessing first hand the oppression of just and honourable people, and the subsequent penalties expressed for desiring change (cold slaughter of children just doing what they can to help), he found no honour in the "honour system" he swore an oath to uphold. His meeting with Val Jean later confirmed it. He saw, first hand a thief can be more chivalrous than any knight, a soldier can perform the most despicable of cowardly acts, a child can be braver than a hundred men and sing defiance while being shot for it. In this moment, he judges himself by a new, higher standard, one of lacking basic human kindness. He found himself guilty and sentences himself. By Javerts own standards, a man such as Javert should not be allowed.

Considering the near impossible conditions created by director Tom Hooper and the producers, it's honesty impressive that he sounds as good as he does. He doesn't deserve the hate he gets.

I get it the stars are the law. Keeping watch in the night, holding their coarse and their aims. And each in their seasons returns and returns and is always the same. And if the law falls like Lucifer fell, society will fall in flames. I get it now. Great symbolism.

This song purely shows Javert's character And it's such a great symbol of his suicide. the cinematography in this sence is like his suicide sence and incredibly shows how his ideology lead him to death A symbol of how he fall as Lucifer fell!! I love it!

Because people who see how operatic Les-Mis is, Russell Crowe is not a classically, or operatically trained vocalist. In Australia, He's a singer for a rock band.

Ah it’s a combination really. Comparing him to operatic singers like the great Quast and then him not allowing his voice to flow all the way really hinders his version.

I personally love this version of Stars. It kills me when Javert sees all the bodies that died in the barricade and he gives his police badge to little Gavroche as a memorial of honor. He gives away the symbol of the law he dedicated himself to, and then has nothing to hold onto. Such a tragic anti-hero, but a powerful man and story.

I am going to give a rather unpopular opinion...I listened to the version that most commented as the best version of this song from the 10th anniversary and honestly this version just hits harder. I listened to them back to back and while I can acknowledge the other guy as the clearly better singer Russell' s delivery has such a raw emotive quality that send shivers down my spine. Seriously everytime in listen to it. I can see what they say about his monotone voice but honestly it just added more authenticity to the situation while the other was just a performance in a stage play...you all can disagree with it but these are my thoughts on this

My thoughts exactly! The other versions may be 'technically' better singing but don't convey a tenth of the raw character and emotion Crowe is able to.. that, to me, is the superior talent. People forget that this is a musical and not a studio album! Lol

Unpopular opinion: Russel Crowe was actually pretty decent in the role of Javert. His acting could use some work but the singing is good.

Imagine being a street criminal in 1820's France robbing a peasant in the middle of the night, only for you to suddenly hear the most feared police inspector in town suddenly burst into song above you. Honestly I'd reconsider my entire life and become a respectable citizen.

It's interesting, all I paid attention to (when I was younger) was how they talked of revolution. This was my favorite song, one which is actually about god and faith, but I loved astronomy as a kid so I just liked his verse about the stars. Watching it again I'm realizing oh right this is a show about god and belief... it's interesting how people relate to films with the knowledge they have in life...
