@@GuidedMissile.Part of Wellington’s plan was literally the fact he knew Napoleon would think they’re retreating and push his Guards forward. The Cavalry charge was poor judgement by Marshal Ney, and they got shredded by the British Square Formation. Once the cavalry were done, Wellington used his fire by ranks to decimate the Guards. Blucher also happened to show up, which helped him out. I think the fun thing about Waterloo was that both leaders were waiting on reinforcements. The Prussian soldiers led by Blucher to aid Wellington. And Grouchy’s Army to aid Napoleon.

And it's not very accurate. Napoleon led a bitter charge against the fort after other French units had already been driven back. They didn't sneakily catch the Brits without a night watch partying, there was already intense fighting when Napoleon's unit charged. And the Brits did not have a wall full of loaded cannon overlooking the harbor aimed at their own ships, which would be the wrong direction to stop a French charge from the landward side. Napoleon supervised the hauling of French cannon into place and when the British saw this they basically sailed away because their position was untenable at that point.

The epitome of the Romantic era of European history, even with his flashy drama of personal romance that was iconic as well as directly identifying, similar to the cadre of turmoil that marriages of any stature experience. Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix did admirably, as the task of encompassing the effect and legacy of someone who conquered all of continental Europe is more than what Marvel characters do. I appreciate Marvel for entertaining children, but the genre of superhero does not reflect well about adults with actual responsibilities. The Incredibles were actually more entertaining than these pijama protagonists.

Absolutely and I am no great historian but the four cases of 'black' senior French army officers ruined the whole film for me, as like so much Woke vehicle propaganda films that state such a complete lie, as when he met Wellington at the end that the film was a total farce.

@@wakeupuk3860 There was one black officer in Napoleon's army named Thomas-Alexandre Dumas which I think was supposed to be a wink to that. But such people in Bonie's army were so few if not non-existent. Throwing in a person of color in a French uniform without proper context can break a historical films immersion. Like that Mary Queen of Scots movie

Not how the battle took place. French didn’t even try to take the city, main battle was on a peninsula. French took the fort, Napoleon brought up heavy artillery and force British Navy/army to retreat. French would take the city, many civilians tried to flee on British ships, to escape the pending executions.

very Hard core scenes it up there with Saving Privet Ryan and American History X. a must see it in a Theater to get the full effect. Hollywood always imitated but never duplicated

Really weird to see Napoléon speaking in english😅 Proud to saw La Version Française 🇫🇷

There are quite a few "creative freedom" inconsistencies. The curved sword was only used by Napoleon and his men after the campaign in Egypt where he saw the efficacy of that shape of blade, not at Toulon, long before that campaign. Another incongruity, not in this segment is at Austerlitz where a few men wear their hats in the same manner Napoleon does, parallel to his shoulders. He was the only one wearing his hat in this manner in order to be distinguished from a distance on the battlefield. The officers who wore a similar hat wore it at ninety degrees angle from their shoulders. It's a film...

What a strange portrayal of Napoleon.

I hope people appreciate the fact that Napoleon and other soldiers plug they ears during cannon fire that's realistic and many movies don't capture that...

0.59 nice to Lord Vader actually doing some work for once.

2:31 THAT SHOT WAS VICIOUS! First time I saw that I was disgusted and in awe at the same time, that was just an amazing CGI gore scene

I heard they went through 12 horses to get the right shot !

Napoleon was a tactitian. & oversaw no more so the level of hand to hand fighting as such a general such as Eisnhower did on D day by the guns vs direct from the front engagement. Being by this point a more stoic veteran, his emotion as a chracter in the film preached more that of a civilian director portraying w/out otherwise military historian or veteran expertise input, a watered down fantastical adventure of a fellow green civilian leading a war vs a war leader leading green civilians into a beleivable meat grinding hell that was napoleonic warfare.

To be fair, Napoleon did receive a bayonet wound at the assault of Mulgrave.

Napoleon was only 24 in this battle and only senior gunner and artillery commander of the forces that arrived at Toulon. He just came up with a plan to take a hill that will make the british evacuate the area. He was no major general or leader of anything other than the artillery units at this point.

I see a version of 'Pearl Harbour', another era - another continent .. !

So no ones watching the walls. Thats accurate 😂

VIVE L’EMPEREUR VIVE LA FRANCE

The only scene in the movie with a resemblance to actual events.

3:58 Yeah Totally Frenche actors we have here nice one mate !

When I saw this in the theater when his horse got shot I wasn’t expecting that and I got jump scared so bad 😂

Spectacular codswallop. Boney never climbed a scaling ladder in his life. What he did do at Toulon was more interesting: he set up a battery in an exposed position that commanded the harbour. Many of his men were GETTING killed or wounded, so he encouraged them by putting up a sign saying: LA BATTERIE DES HOMMES SANS PEUR. He drove out the British warships, ensured victory, and launched his career.

I mean, he did personally lead a charge over the walls of Fort Mulgrave. And even suffered a bayonet wound that came inches from ending his life.

Absolutely Amazing! Napoleon was a great Military Strategist. Too bad about Waterloo. I suppose you can't win forever. Sadly, he was banished from his own country. The one he faithfully served for his entire lifetime.

That's true, but it didn't happen in this battle. That happened in 1814, when a cannonball hit Napoleon's horse and the horse saved his life. Napoleon also had quite a few dead horses, the reason being that he often passed close to the enemy's artillery range.

I had high hopes for this movie, but it just wasn't good the pacing was the movie was all over the place so much was either skipped over or they speed ran through it. Also this is the one time I'll say Joaquin Phoenix didn't play the role well and in general seems like a bad choice to play Napoleon.

Holly wood!

At this battle Napoleon had just turned 24. Phoenix may be a good actor but Napoleon was actually dead before he reached Joaquin's age in the movie.

I wonder, where was the watch ?

In reality there was a watch, as you would expect. The movie can't be bothered with that kind of realistic detail.

C'est manifique, mais ce n'est pas l'histoire (which was a marginal note my professor wrote on the first paper I submitted in graduate school).

Well then , looking forward to Gladiator 2 !!!

I love fantasy films😊

Wow. Those ships are made of dynamite!

Is there a contemporary movie-going audience for a movie, like this? And, all the fight scenes are already on KZread. The movie is epic, but wonder if anyone cares and if the huge audience they need to cover the huge budget will attend. Thoughts?

This scene is a masterpiece!!! The movie was awesome....in my opinion!!
