Kubrick wanted to make a Napoleon film. He embarked on two years of intensive research; with the help of dozens of assistants and an Oxford Napoleon specialist, He created a giant cabinet about Napoleon and his inner circle that amassed an unparalleled trove of research and preproduction material, including approximately 15,000 location-scouting photographs and 17,000 slides of Napoleonic imagery cataloging each day of their lives. His film did not get a green light. Ridley Scott: '' Ah shit he shot at the pyramids or whatever his wife is more important'' Gets to make a film.

I don't think you can make a movie about Napoleon's life. It's 20 years of extremely important historical events packed together, you just can show all that in a movie. The only way is to just isolate one part of Napoleon's life and make a movie about it. But if you want to do justice to everything that happened between Toulon and Waterloo, you probably need a show of at least 5 seasons.

The thing is, Ridley: if you wanted to make a movie about Josephine, you absolutely could’ve done that. You could’ve made a compelling drama about the wife of the man who conquered Europe, and given that relationship the full attention of the movie. I think that would’ve been great. Ironically, given the period you glossed over, you tried to have your cake and eat it too. And your only recourse is a temper tantrum. It’s a shame really; but alas, there’s nothing we can do.

Please please do Hannibal Barca. He has such a great arc. His Dad conquered half of Iberia with a mercenary army. The army was made up of Celt-iberians Horseman, Libyan swordsmen, Carthaginian Elephants and Numidian Horsemen. Hannibal had to negotiate and fight Gallic tribes through southern France before getting engineers to cut paths through the Alps to get his elephants through. The Romans knew he was coming and got defeated multiple times. Hannibal then had to hold half of Italy whilst dealing with a lukewarm Carthaginian senate. Then gets recalled to defend Carthage and loses. He tries to reform the government, then gets kicked out, ends up commanding a navy for Antiochus the Great, only to lose and commit suicide.

You’re leaving out the best part of his time in the Seleucid court. When Scipio Africanus went there as part of a delegation, he went off alone to go find Hannibal. They spent the day together hanging out and going to the baths. While chilling in the sauna, Scipio asked Hannibal to rank his personal top 3 generals. Hannibal said Alexander, Pyrrhus, and himself. When Scipio asked where he would be ranked, Hannibal said something along the lines of “if you had not defeated me, I would be above Alexander”. After Hannibal’s assassination, Scipio Africanus threw such a massive shitfit that he left Rome and refused to be buried in the city despite being their greatest hero.

As a person who watched oversimplified movies about Napoleon i can say that the movie was a huge 4/10 in total (for me atleast) because it did not show any important stuff that made Napoleon a general or how did he fucked austrians in italy, it was just one battle where he "charged" and boom, you're a general now. I asked myself, where is his childhood ? Where are early military years ? Where is shown how he fantasizes about becoming a conqueror ? The movie in my perspective showed Napoleon as a person who made stuff only to impress a girl and it looked like after lost battle in waterloo it was right away peace deal and exile to Elba

Love how you called him General, because as a fun tidbit Napoleon *hated* being called that on St. Helena. He considered the proper title "emperor", not general, and for years had been called that in France before his exile; now, he was reduced to just a general, having lost much of the power he had wielded and fought for for so long. I just got Andrew Robert's book on Napoleon ("Napoleon: A Life" if you wish to read) and want to study him as much as I possible can. He's a fascinating historical figure turned into a insecure warlord that spends half his time doing Josephine on screen in Ridley Scott's new film. Sadly Ridley doesn't care about history, or even having an approach to it. It's just disappointing he couldn't put in a hour of research, or consulted any historians; the closest he got to that was getting reenactors to do the uniforms for the film.

I thought it went in for too long. The first battle and last were good

Konstantin Rokossovsky. Polish-Soviet Marshal, never accepted fully by either culture, tortured and nearly executed during the Purges (released when they realized that the denouncement came from a guy who died in the Civil War with witnesses), reinstated when things go bad in 41. Despite all this, he planned and commanded one of the largest military victories in human history; Operation Bagration.

And there's still serious speculation that he may have been secretly fighting in Spain during their civil war, because that period in his biography is suspiciously empty.

Ridley's movie didn't even have olive trees!

[@ultron6494]

You could do a video about Piłsudski, Ataturk, Mannerheim, Franco perhaps.

I like the video game Napoleon the most. Reminds me of myself when I conquered the galaxy at Empire at War.

[@SMAXZO]

Napoleon: They fear me Bernadotte and Wellington: Yeah, slick..let me stop you right there.

The secluded standing 95th Rifles soldier standing next to Wellington using a scoped flintlock-rifle taking a shot at Napoleon’s hat during the Battle of Waterloo fucking killed me in my theatre seat…

[@MrManfhis]

That shot was aimed at you all along

[@philipsalama8083]

I love how the scope is just a spyglass that's been tied to the rifle. It's so ridiculous.

[@shirleymaemattthews4862]

HOW THE HELL THEY GOT AWAY WITH PUTTING THAT BACKSHOT SCENE IN THERE?!? AND WHY?!?

[@Emperor-Brownsuga]

I think you Need to make Hannibal barca's story. Genius general who was screwed over by his own country right at the worst time.

[@sv4647]

❤-Hannibal Barca

[@HolyknightVader999]

TFW the video game adaptation was more faithful than the Hollywood movie.

[@OverMankind]

Need a General Lee edit

[@ThatOneMan830]

Honestly it’s a bit of a shame. All other criticism aside, Vanessa Kirby was *acting her heart out,* Joaquin Phoenix was trying his best with the poor material and directing he was given; hell, all the actors in the movie were doing their damndest to make the script work. Even worse, the idea of framing Napoleon’s life through the perspective of Josephine - herself an incredibly interesting person - and his relationship with her is a frankly brilliant one, and if such a movie were to be made soon, I’d want Vanessa Kirby reprising. I will also appreciate that the movie didn’t saint Napoleon and instead showed him as a flawed, even at times repugnant individual (albeit it went too far to this end at various points making him seem like a man child and weirdo.) The chief problem, among other things, is that the movie just didn’t know what it was. Was it trying to be an epic? A biography? Great Man history? A deconstruction of the image of Napoleon in popular imagination? It tried to do too much at once and had no coherent direction as a result. It fell apart because it didn’t unify the sum of its parts.

What do I have to say mon empereur, there's nothing we can do

0:06 I for sure love the country of the Grand Ducky of Warsaw - I do only wonder what their national animal is

[@aksogamemini5171]

1:26 IT IS LITERALLY SAME THING HAPPENED

[@tarraux5971]

Thank you for this video

[@benfarruggia3222]

Ngl the battle of waterloo was at least fun to watch in the movie especially seeing the drummer get blown up by a cannonball I had hold back my laughter during that scene.

[@R3TR0J4N]

Disappointment.. theres no way a Directors cut will save the film unless its an extra 2hr run time..

Do Alexander next...there should be plenty of fodder for Hannibal when the Denzel Washington portrayal comes out.

[@ColdHighway7]

Would like to see a video on Georgy Zhukov
