Napoleon strove for law and order and he kept his anti opposition tactics down to a minimal. However his stunning successes on the battlefield, his sheer popularity, charisma and lowly initial status in life really endeared him to many French as they put their lives down in battle for him and for the nation. He was not only a brilliant commander, but also a brave soldier, literally leading from the front at Siege of Toulon against ferocious British grapeshot fire from cannons. He was utterly exposed at the bridge of Arcole in his Italian campaign. His ADC literally flung himself at Napoleon to save him from volleys of Austrian musket fire in the thick of the combat situation, just opposite of the bridge. It is such inconspicuous gallantry in the face of his own troops, his fellow Frenchmen, that he gained impeccable status and inspirational leadership. Not since Alexander the Great do we see a national commander, leading with such gusto, with innovative and driven approach to defeat world class standing armies in lightning campaigns, using meager resources on his own end. Napoleon wasn't any of those opportunist, lower talented individuals in the revolutionaries of the Cordeliers club, Jacobins or Girondinists. Those were men who desired power and seized the opportune and used their own voice to create an uproar. Napoleon was a well trained, hard working, genius military commander who studied and studied countless military tactics, like Frederick the Great, before he showed his masterclass in strategy and tactics at the Siege at Toulon. So he was a real battlefield genius and everyone trusted him because he could convince and plan a masterstroke before his superiors and they always consider his plans capable of ensuring success in the battlefield. His actions, saved the revolution from foreign annexation and invasion. Amongst all the French, he rose to power on merit as well as luck.

He basically signed his death warrant with that speech.

Clearly you know history. You can believe what you want, because there is no way to prove what is right or wrong but, I personally believe Robespierre was about to denounce people like Barère or Billaud-Varenne. Who were the original creators of the terror. Billaud-Varenne proposed the law of 14 of Frimaire, in which power was concentrated in the committee of public safety. And Barère was since the beginning on the committee of public safety. Like you said Robespierre mistake was not to mention their names, I'm sure if he had mention Barère or Billaud-Varenne, or people like Fuche, others would not have moved a rock to save them.

One of the interesting details in this is the bells that rang as Robespierre fled to the hotel de ville. During those years these bells were a call that the commune needed support and for the working class sections of Paris and the National Guard to mobilise and pressure the National Convention. In all cases prior to this the masses gathered was great enough that the Convention saw that the people were with the commune, not them, and they basically bow to the will of the commune. However, during this the fall of Robespierre, famously the bells rang again but only 13 of the 48 sections of Paris mobilised. The numbers of communards and national guards units you saw there defending the Hotel de Ville was a fraction of what they were before. And that was how you could tell that the people had at this point largely deserted Robespierre. Or else the convention would have never been able to arrest them.

That's a recitation of the most cartoonish and crudest parts of the old reactionary propaganda. Fictional, like most of the script of this movie. The Thermidorian version of this period and its gross lies and fake anecdotes (staged in this mediocre movie) have been largely debunked and refuted by the modern historiographical research. The struggle for an egalitarian society is still very much current. In France, the solidarity and equity system (the logical continuation of the successive revolutions and obtained by long popular struggles) is currently threatened like never before since the end of WW2 and the beginning of the fifth republic by the neoliberal and greedy oligarchy (or rather their servants) in charge. We would really need a Saint-Just right now. And above all we would really need a popular insurrection.

Bad choice indeed. You should announce a purge when you already have enough supporters. If you don't make clear who's going to die, people will not know how big are their chances of surviving the purge and, instead of risking, they will choose to save themselves.

He made a speech, not just that but trying to create a reform amidst a rebellion. People just can't stop booing him and he went to seek shelter. The rest you know.

For anyone who's a fan of Aaron Sorkin. This was a Ten Word Answer moment. Robespierre basically said "members of this government are traitors and I know who." A bold claim, but he didn't have the next Ten Words to back it up. He had no names, in his mind it was pretty much anyone who opposed him for any reason and everyone saw right through it. We see alot of this today too, members of congress standing and making a bold claim about their opposition but when pressed to prove it or provide a solution for it, they have nothing.

McCarthy attacked the war crimes trials the Allies held for German war criminals. He said it was pure vengeance. It should be noted there were a lot of fairly recent German immigrants in his state of Wisconsin who were not anxious to punish Germans for events in the war. As far as Hitler's attitude towards the socialists, he hated them. He considered them as next-door to Communists as objects of hatred. Only Jews and Communists were worse in Hitler's eyes.

In this French film (1989), Robespierre was played by a Pole, Andrzej Seweryn. In turn, six years earlier (1983), in the Polish-French film Danton (director Andrzej Wajda), Wojciech Pszoniak played Robespierre. There, Seweryn also played (Bourdon), and Danton was played by Depardieu. To make it interesting, both actors Seweryn and Pszoniak) knew each other well and often played together (e.g. in "The Promised Land" by Wajda). It follows that Poles are suitable for playing the role of Robespierre. 🤣

Andrzej Seweryn did a great job as Robespierre (fun fact: if he spoke a very good French, Seweryn was dubbed by the wonderful French theater actor Gérard Desarthe, who also dubbed Wojciech Pszoniak as Robespierre in Danton). Seweryn is a great actor, one of the few non francophone actors being hired by the Comédie Française, the oldest and most prestigious French theater company. You can find on KZread Seweryn remarkable performance in Molière's play Dom Juan.

Splendid. I have long been fascinated by Robespierre. On balance I am of the opinion that he was a well-intentioned man who was overwhelmed by the times with the Revolution devouring her own children. Ironically of course he was opposed to the death penalty. It is interesting to see (and read) how power so quickly easily falls away from people. I well recall the downfall of the Communist Eastern Bloc countries and in particular the fall of Nicolas Ceausescu.

Those words helped Robespierre recover his voice as he spat back, "so it's Danton that bothers you. Cowards! Why didn't you defend him?" Which was fair enough. Even Legrande, who spoke the words, had undergone his Simon Peter moment and backed off defending Danton to save his neck after Danton's his arrest. I don't know why they cut it. It was a very telling moment.

As many times I have watched this, I still wonder if Robespierre left his glasses on that podium.

He did actually, yes.

Robespierre ruled through fear and division, this was meant to sow distrust and disunity in the assembly. Instead it united everyone against him.

I would like to think that the last thing that passed through Robespierre's head, other than that bullet and much later the guillatine, was maybe he went a little too far. Of course it wasn't a little but not the point. Ultimately he dug his own grave and got what he deserved.

While Robespierre might have had good intentions from the beginning (I dont think so, but I give him the benefit of the doubt) he quickly became what so many Kings, Emperors and other men of power in history have experienced. Mad with power...

Sólo el desvanecer del tiempo le llevó a olvidar sus sentidos, inmerso en el bellísimo resplandor azul de un fino cordón de plata.

Hôtel de Ville is the city hall of Paris.

It is very interesting that during this period of tyranny in 1794 it was Danton on April 4th and the Robespierre and Saint Just and Coulthon on July 28th 1794. Beheaded and then heads raised to the people by Sansons crew. There must of been plenty of Head raising back the. Eugene Wiedman in 1939 and Christopher Lee was there who witnessed when he was 17. The public beheading and head raising. I believe the guillotine was last used in 1977 and abolished in 1981. Only Saudi Arabia is known for Public beheadings till this day. They are still head raising there.
