This low budget Austerlitz is much more accurate then the high budget Austerlitz in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon. it’s quite disappointing how Ridley rejected his historians for giving advice, I’m not kidding the movie would have been better if it was a was a show, and it would have been better if it tried to keep historical accuracy’s that are extremely noticeable.

Ironically though, it makes sense when put in context. While Clavier's French accent is quite noticeable to English language speakers, so was Napoleon's own to his compatriots. To his dying days he spoke with a distinct Corsican accent, noticeably foreign to French ears, since French was his third language, behind Corsican and Italian. When Clavier says his lines in English, one can easily imagine this as a simulation of Napoleon's own distinct way of talking among native French speakers.

I like how with the much smaller budget this portrayal of austerlitz is so so so much better than the scott film - mainly because you also get some depiction of Napoleon as a cunning tactician, even if its a bit condensed but you also get a sense of energy and enthusiasm and leadership. And details like the fog and the pratzen heights and interesting choices with the russian uniform - clever for budget saving as the russian green was extremely dark almost black like. The weather overall looks more accurate to the battle too than the scott film

Napoleon started as a mere cadet in the artilery of france, he was not royal, and hardly aristocratic. Yet he rose from being nothing more than a man from Corsica, to ruler of europe.

Napoleon, Emperor of Europe because the moment germany unified, the french never won a war against germany on their own anymore. The were crushingly defeated in the war of 1870; they "won" ww1, but the entire western war of WW1 was fought on french soil, not german. Also compared to germany, which fought on 2 main fronts and helped several allies win or survive their battles, they were only able to hold there 1 front with british help and basically achieved no decicisve gains until 1918, and where even then pushed back by the germans again, until the US hit the european theatre in full force. In WW2 the french were at first considered to be the best army on the planet and were really arrogant in the peace time (at least to the germans) and then got crushingliy defeated even though they had better and more weapons and tanks. Also germany build up its forces basically from scretch within a few years, while france did nothing to improve their military. The french defeat in WW2 was their own fault. The germans werent so overpowered as the war showed, the french were just far more incompetend and backwarts in their thinking. The french could have won ww2 easily by bombing the ardennes, destroying the german armored forces, but they dismissed the intell as fantasie. Also the reason why the french (and british) in france were seen as cowards is the fact that the germans were to fast for them. They had no time to fight because they were outmanuvered by the germans and needed to safe their asses. In the end the war of 1870 was for france what ww2 was for the germans: after that they were on the military level of denmark and in huge military decline. But both realised that it is far more efficent to live in peace next to each other and make money together than spend their ressources on fighting each other :)

Allow me to correct few things here " they were only able to hold there 1 front with british help" actually France fought in Turkey, Balkans and Italy while holding the western front. "and where even then pushed back by the germans again," for sure Germans attacked on the gap between BEF and French not a bad idea but somehow failed, then you can look up who led the attacks from August 1918 to November, it's not the British nor the Americans. "were really arrogant in the peace time (at least to the germans) " Wondering what you are refering to, Versailes treaty I guess (written and ratified by lot of nations not only France). Well I can truly understand that a country that suffered 2 direct invasion/1.4 millions death/ hundreds $ of destruction/murdered civilians on its soil by its neighbor, when he has to occasion to cut his wing, catch the opportunity... "they had better and more weapons and tanks" for sure on the paper one B1 bis could defeat any german panzer but wars are not waged on paper even though this tank had huge perks compared to germans panzer it was also suffering huge production mistakes. exemples: turret were designed for only one person in charge of aiming reloading spoting, communicate ( through fanions... no radio) with other tanks, and leading the crews. Also these tanks were consuming to much gas and needed to be filled up every 100km ( while supply regiment were inexistant. Half these tanks never saw the enemy due to a lack of gas and were abandonned ). Last but not least these tanks were only 5% of armoured France had. 50% were outdated tanks from WW1, the rest was also badly designed to be engaged in a modern war. So yes on a face to face these tanks were superior but not in a modern war. I could continue on a lot of other mistakes France did in 1940 but that's not the point. The thing is France suffered from the sydrom of the past victory ( no need to improve something that """"worked"""" and was gangrened by incoherant goverment for 10 years including defetists, pacifists and communists while they were fighting an unified enemy with superior manpower, and had the chance to be allied with a country who did not gave a fuck about Europe for 20 years and suddenly woke up...

@Arman Lana Animations He didn't lose in Russia, he won, so the Russians surrendered in 1807 with the treaty of Tilsit but broke this treaty few years later, that's the reason why Napoleon invaded Russia a 2nd time and won a 2nd time. He didn't lose any battle until the famine. He wanted to reach Moscow, be reached Moscow, while the Russians were running away to the extreme East of Russia. But after one month occupying Moscow and the defeated Russia, the famine and the typhus started because the Russians had burnt their own cities, their own people and their own fields. 20.000 horses of the Grande Armée died of thirst in only few days, so Napoleon started to go back in the Duché de Varsovie (Poland) but winter arrived earlier than the previous years and was colder. Hundreds of thousands of French died, the Russians took the opportunity to finish off the divided Grande Armée who was fighting sometimes 1vs50. But Napoléon won against the Russians, then he lost against the famine and the hostile nature of Russia. And no he was not a warrior, he was a brilliant tactician, a military then an emperor. The warriors were the French, (and the hussards ofc).

Also, its not hard to believe that the Art of War, written by 200 BCE, made its way to Europe by the 1750s and had a French translation. (Supposedly it was translated to French in 1782) In addition, Napoleon was a master at taking others' theories and ideas, improving them, and putting them to practice. Nearly all of Napoleon's tactics and strategies were already established by his contemporaries, he simply took them, perfected them, and put them into practice with each other.

When you read personal accounts from those wars, or the American Civil War, the men of that era exhibited strongly held values and beliefs. Belief in God and their place in eternity. Honor, courage, duty and devotion to one's country. And from what they write of their experience, particularly in relating the deaths of friends and comrades, they describe and acknowledge the terribleness of the events, but it isn't horrifying or despairing for them, just a fact of what's happening. I think they were much more mentally and emotionally insulated against the effects of PTSD because they believed what they did had value and meaning, and death in battle was a noble thing, with eternity in heaven after. I think it's only in modern war, when things got increasingly senseless and the ways we kill each other more extreme, that we start to see the effect of disillusionment. Trauma is, in essence, disconnection from the self. You really start to see it in World War 1, with such vast and senseless slaughter by horrible means. And as people and society we have lost many of those core values that help us process traumatic events through a lens that makes sense of them. That's along tangent off a simple reply, but I've thought about this for awhile and always wondered about it. Particularly with regards to naval battles in the age of fighting sail. Nowhere to go if you lose your ship, the roar of the cannons, the horrific wounds from broadsides tearing your ship to splinters that blow through you.

yes, he had many great battles....even after the Russian disaster, he was able to open the campaign of 1813 with a stunning victory over the allies at the Battle of Dresden....he then ordered a march to Berlin to retake the Prussian Capital, but his marshalls dissented and demanded they retreat to the safety of France and defend the country, rather than go on the offenseive,,,,and in the course of this retreat demanded by his marshalls, the French army ran into the entire combined armies of all his enemies, who had joined together after Napoleon won at Dresden....in the ensuing Battle of Nations, the badly outnumbered French held their own for several days, but then ran out of ammunition and were forced to flee back to France in disarray....it was the beginning of the end.

Way better than the 2023 film’s depiction

Any other general would have kept the high ground.Napoleon did the opposite.He give it to the allied army and took it back after making the russians and the austrians attack where he wanted. This victory was obtained using a simple but,at the same time,genius plan.

How about thank him for staving off maniacal monarchies and thousands of years of their tyranny. Literally him and Charlemagne can be credited for the two big modern leaps forward in terms of gov/civilization leading to the West having an unprecedented 300yrs of growth. Forming the first true sustaining republics, doubling life spans and making the world a much safer place in that time. Its important to know history, but even more so to understand it. 7 coalitions of all monarchies got their asses handed to them. Germany, russia, england, spain... All because that man defended revolutionary ideals. Hence the attempts at the english to wash his history as a dictator of sorts. Modern historians know, Napoleon was truly a great man, fighting for what we now refer to as the Free World.

The best real estate deal in history. Napoleon got rid of an expensive colony he didn't want and even got paid for it, and the US got a massive chunk of North America that allowed them to expand westwards, at below market value prices. The very definition of a win/win.

@walkerhaw5468 Oh no, the British were trounced, if politically. Prime Minister Pitt the Younger, who masterminded the alliance and attack from Austria and Russia, was on his deathbed when news of the defeat reached him. His last words were said to be "Oh how I leave my country!", lamenting that he left Britain's influence in tatters, as far as he saw, with the destruction of the Allies and Napoleon ascendent on the continent. Neither he nor Napoleon could have foreseen the "bleeding ulcer" of Spain or the invasion of Russia in 1812, where Napoleon's forces would eventually be drained and destroyed. Add to that, his influence with 'The Confederation of the Rhine' slowly waning, as he called more and more troops up from his allies to supplement his weakening 'Grande Armee' as they fought more and more campaigns in the years following.

Normal flags represent the battalion, or regiment. For example, every British regiment, I don't remember on which level they issued them, had a set of flags - One Kings Colour, with the union jack and regiments number, and one regimental colour, with regimental colour field and number. You lose the regimental colours you dishonour the regiment, you lose the Kings Colour you dishonour none but King George himself. I think most nations had only one per battalion, which just represented the regiment itself, for example France. Their flags had their Imperial Eagle atop it, which was more important than the flag itself - Basically the Kings and Regimental colours in one, the Eagle representing France and the flag representing the regiment, one per battalion. Lose all the men but save the colours? Eh, could be worse, just a battle. Lose colours? Lose regiment's identity and honour

Indeed. It is called "spiking" a cannon. If exposed and under cavalry attack, gunners would most likely abandon their guns temporarily to take refuge among infantry squares. In this short time the cavalry could spike the cannons before the enemy mounted a counter attack to drive them back (infantry squares were impervious to cavalry)

Caesar was strategically, tactically and politically smart and cunning, but he lived in an age where his armies, the logistics and everything else were literally centuries ahead of whomever he faced in Europe and where he possessed much more information than his enemies. Napoleon had to fight armies who were almost just as well equipped (Napoleon's artillery was the best though) and had the advantage in many other ways: they were outnumbering Napoleon, France was surrounded by enemies and the resources his opponents had were much greater than Napoleon's own. IMO, what he did was much more impressive than what Caesar did.

Either Napoleon had the tallest generals or the creator thought Napoleon was actually short!

For centuries they were the most formidable fighting force in whole of Europe. It's quite the same as people reducing the polish army to "horses charging panzers lul", and doesn't even matter it didn't happen like that, completely forgetting the centuries of polish army kicking ass in eastern Europe.
