Napoleon: A Dealer in Hope (FULL MOVIE) Documentary, History, France, Biography

There are few characters from history as distinctive as Napoleon Bonaparte, and whether you admire him as a military genius, deride him as a tyrant, or simply recognize him as half of one of History’s most famous couples with his first wife, Josephine, Napoleon is as fascinating today as he ever was. Yet, when it comes to the finer detail, few of us could add much more to the above, but this film spot-lighting the life and times of Napoleon offers a more complete picture of this most notorious of men. Follow in his footsteps from the wildly beautiful Island of Corsica to the elegant glory of Paris, where you can find evidence of Napoleon’s influence almost everywhere you look. Then take a guided tour of Napoleon’s military campaigns, as like his hero Alexander the Great before him, he set his sights on conquering the world. Napoleon has been credited with the line “A leader is a dealer in hope”, and in the desperate years of the French Revolution and its aftermath his own unique leadership qualities would have shone out like a beacon of hope. Time, and knowledge may have tarnished Napoleon’s shining reputation, but the legend truly does live on, as we set off in search of the man behind the myth.

what not commonly known about him. I finally ended & signed off the Spanish Inquisition. He was the one who abolished the Jewish ghettos. first one he closed was the one in Rome. Others soon followed He ended the practice of the castratis.. he found them barbaric. Until the 18th century.. that was the practiced. Napoleon was sexually a prude.. he reassess the prison sentence of the Marquis de Sade.. he was appalled. he kept him in prison. another thing.. Napoleon was a clean freak.. he took long very hot baths everyday.. his secretary Bourienne would read him the papers. whatever as he soaked. he hated body odour.. and demanded his court bathe too.. often if not everyday. He hated heavy scents on women.. gave him headaches. so that was banned. Josephine started wearing light floral scents.. it became the fashion that it continues to this day.. he also designed Rue du Rivoli. he also had the Mona Lisa in his bedroom in the Tuileries.. I was relieved to find out.. it wasn't plundered.. it was brought to France by Catherine de Medici as part of her dowry.

To put Hitler in the same path of Napoleon (no matter the latter's faults) is utterly blasphemous! The very fact that this documentary can go over his legacy (a legacy that today is enjoyed by France, Europe and many other countries outside it) tells about that abyss between the two of them.

This is before I watch the film. Napoleon is the greatest man that Europe, maybe the world, has ever raised. Why? He is not just the man with the best record military campaigns, batttles, victories, whose total more than equals Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Alexander, and Marlborough added together. He is the man who created the Code Napoleon, a conglomeration oof ALL the regional codes from across France. He created the first pensions, starting with military pensioned people. He created the first free schooling for all children up to 11 years old, the first free hospitals, he worked on modernising the rivers and canals to speed up transport. He developed standards of improved water supplies that changed Paris completely. He modernised the production of footwear, civilian and military, and the way that arms and munitions were produced. He loved red Biurgundy and ordered that all Army regiments saluted the vineyards of Burgundy by dipping tha flag. There will never be someone like Napoleon again. EVER. NO WAY.

[@matthewmatt5285]

[@Demun1649]

@@matthewmatt5285 I don't think that he can be limited to just his timeline. Who else has his combination of skills, energy, and successful implementation? His skills ran through civilian, military, scientific, agriculture and farming. Despite the constant aggression from enemy monarchies, the population of France, at the end of the rule by the Emperor, was larger than the start of his military career. And that despite the casualties suffered in defending democracy against the cruel, evil and corrupt monarchies. There is no, ONE, SINGLE person in the history of the world that achieved what he did. I agree with you. He was the most important man, ever. PERIOD.

I intended on viewing this doc until the comments changed my mind. Napoleon is the individual about which the most books have been written, by far. He is known and studied the world over. As for his height, he was average for the time. Audie Murphy, the most decorated WW2 American soldier was 5'5'', 115 lbs.

[@elizabethpengson8244]

He was 5'6. not that short at all. I went to Musee D'Arrmee in 1980's.. they had a whole wing on Napoleon.. jam-packed with stuff.. I saw his very ordinary general's coat. no decoration.. it looked a tent as he gained so much weight by then,, I saw his toiletries set. made me so excited.. his cot.. the tent.. even his stuffed horse,by then had shrunk,it looked like a donkey.. but the most impressive of all.. I bump unto his casket. The Casket that brought his remains back to France. it had 4 layers.. outer was mahogany.. lined in tin.. silver. then gold. & his death mask was just lying around on a consul. I touched it. oh yeah, they even had his well worn attache case.. w/just a little coronet.. w/N.. simple.

I asked for a curator.. this historian came out smiling who escorted me around but he could barely speak English.. he was rather impressed w/my knowledge of N. they had the tent he used at the Battle of Waterloo.. his sleeping cot.. his toiletries.. he wore a plain cloth general's coat.. his cup & saucer.. in olive green..Sevres w/plain coronet & a tiny N.. Paintings of all his marshals.. his brothers.. at the end of this wing was a room.. it was dark.. they recreated his death scene in St Helena. with his bedlinens.. pillows.. bed etc.. and ahuge watercolour at the back of the bed. to show the scene as he lay dying.. I read somewhere.. he gave instructions he wanted his death mask made as soon as he died.. 3 were made.. so I was stumbling about in this dark room.. then I bumped into something heavy.. I looked down.. it was his casket. but w/3 layers.. heavy mahogany for outer.. w/ some gilding.. the liners were all spread out on the floor.. one was tin.. then silver. then gold.. I read the incription loosely as it's been decades.. it was inscribed.. here lies the remains of Napoleon I.. Emperor of the French.. w/a small coronet this was the casket that brought back his remains to France. I further looked around.. I saw his DEATH MASK.. just sitting openly on a consul.. so I fingered it.. I was also in a hurry as the Tomb was closing.. & I had to go around the damn blg.. & by then my feet were hurting as I was wearing high heels. & this cobble stones.. painful. the Curator came back & he even asked me to return the next day.. I said I couldn't. & I was moaning I had to leave as I had to walk around the Hotel.. he left & came back with the biggest Key.. he told me in French where to go.. I looked at him dumbly.. oui. he opened the door. it was like their staff room.. shelves upon shelves of antiques. and rolled up documents.. I looked behind me.. thinking he was behind me.. no he wasn't.. he locked the door behind me.. goodness.. how he trusted me.. Then I came out of that very stuffy room.. I was standing on top of this stone staircase.. I was overcome.. seeing Louis XIV flashing before me.. he built that blg.. as a hospital for injured soldiers.. I took in the view. one could never tell it was the 20th century..

So whats the goal after a few or twenty battles won? It happens again and again. And you will always lose eventually. IDK

That Napoleon was "average" height is nothing but a lame attempt at remaking history. There are many, many first-hand descriptions of N. and they're always the same: short. Changing the measurement system doesn't make him average height. If he was average, that's what people would have described. When N. died, he was in the custody of the British not the French. If he was measured in death it's going to be in British units not French. These later-day Napoleonista are ridiculous.

[@pauc9596]

You need to put this in context. At the the time he was either directed to the military engagements by the ruling body of France and then later by responding to declarations of war against France by foreign powers. That was because the monarchies of other countries were concerned about the spread of revolution and that an “upstart” should assume rule when he had not inherited the position from his forbears. He swept away the iniquities of the Catholic inquisition and many other unjust practices. He had an ordered administration set up in France and handed it over to the departments to run. He did not keep control himself. He was interested in military matters, good administration, the arts, mathematics, science and engineering. He behaved in a despotic way when necessity required and to remove despots and despotic practices but did not continue with them without cause like real despots such as Hitler, Saddam Hussain or Stalin. Much of his negative publicity was generated by Britain at the time as propaganda for their own designs. He did however enjoy the power and used his position to promote his family to further his influence. In the end the power corrupted him and he over reached.
