amazing... Actually a much better rendition of how it actually happened. Modern movies just show close quarters gory details. This is much better. Now I know what to do when I'm charged by cavalry : get in square formation

@@wilbur218 Ah, but what if the cavalry is armed with loganberries?

This makes " Napoleon" look like the Teletubbies!

I wonder how many died of friendly fire with those squares being formed close to each other

One of the last great epics without CGI made. Brilliant movie.

Napoleon was a master strategist. He reprimands by saying, How can you send Cavalry without infantry support

I've watched this movie over and over again since I was a child: Plummer was imperious as Wellington, but Rod Steiger's performance was sheer perfection!

Der beste waterloo Film ever. Keine computer Tricks noch irgendwelche hinein geschnittenen Quatsch. Alles echt russische Soldaten die mal England mal Frankreich mal preussen spielten. Geile Zeit... danke Russland danke an allen schauspielern für diesen Film

Just came here to say F central banking, that is what truly ended Napoleon.

This film is epic .

I look at the squares. They seemed to be formed to create a crossfire situation.

Yes. My understanding is that the squares were fewer but bigger than we see here, with gaps to match.

Looks so authentic, that's a true large scale war in the screen

Marescial Ney what the hell are you doing, you cannot attack square infantry without the support of the artillery!!!!

They did not check the fog of war on the map right

The movie firmly suggests that Wellington fooled the impulsive Marshall Ney into believing that the English led forces were fleeing over the ridge.. Yet when the massive French charge surmounts the ridge they are faced by well disciplined redcoats in unbreakable squares so the charge is a complete disaster.

L'on sait que la Bataille ne s'est pas jouée sur le champ de bataille et que des traites ne sont pas arrivées ou non pas voulu arriver où sont à ne sont pas arrivés à temps notamment Puis au niveau de l'état il y avait déjà avant la bataille des arrangements avec des gens de l'ancien régime et notamment fouqué plus un général qui n'est jamais venu avec ses soldats renforcés l'arrière des troupes napoléoniennes. Les anglais étaient coutumiers de cela ils ont fait pareil pendant la révolution française ils donnaient des armes au vendéen qui avait soulevé le peuple pour rester royaliste et on a retrouvé des fusils anglais les costumes

Slightly inaccurate as the individual British squares were much larger - about 500/600 men on average (compared to maybe 120-150 shown), and more widely spaced than in the film.

That charge, along with Le Haye Sainte holding out, may have cost the French the battle.

This is a Russian film from when it was still called the USSR. Most of the soldiers are played by Soviet troops.

Just home many times has the French cavalry been decimated by the British? They simply refuse to learn.

Die Feldkanonen schutzlos vor den Fusstruppen aufgestellt, völlig abwegige Schlachtordnungen... zum Teil gut treffende Uniformen, schade dass die Darsteller nicht überzeugen können.

That was the exact position of the guns, on the ridge to break French assault (British practised mobile artillery on the whole frontline, not massive battery like French did). It was testified by gunners themselves, who after firing had to run from the ridge to the protection of the squares behind like shown in the movie.

Hadnt it been raining for days before, hence the French charge was almost wasted by the time they made British lines due to the ground conditions being a state.

No Napoleon had delayed the attack for the ground to dry . That is why the crucial delay in battle which allowed the Prussians to arrive as Wellington had hoped .

​@@martinmetal7481it was still wet ground, the british heavy cavalry charged at little more than a canter because the ground was extremely soft, most likely this is how tĥe 92nd gordons ran along side the scotsgreys holding their stirrups.

in this clip you will some British squares are broken, none broke in the real battle.

Impulsive people, however qualified,brave n courageous,should never be in command when everything is at stake.... this is true even today....

Only in the USSR were they insane enough to make something like this 😂

Why didn't the cavalry carry pistols? 😅

Theo mình thì kỵ binh hoàn toàn có thể lao thẳng vào trận hình vuông đó, thay vì chạy vòng quanh như vậy. 1 cạnh hình vuông chỉ có 3 4 hàng lính,với tốc độ xung kích của ngựa hoàn toàn có thể lao vào xô ngã, rồi chia cắt hoàn toàn đội hình của bộ binh. Tại sao họ không làm vậy ? Hay trận hình này có gì đăc biệt ? Hay do chỉ huy kỵ binh bất tài thế? Ai biết giải đáp giúp mình với . xin cảm ơn

Sure is a waste of a lot of good cavalry.

unemployment must have been high back in those days. How to get so many actors to get this going?
