Napoleon is my ”most favorite“ historical figures. It’s just unusually entertaining to watch a random Corsican dude beat the most powerful nations of Europe multiple times. I mean think about it, his military genius and leadership of France was so incredibly efficient that the only propaganda the British had was making fun of his height

[@leonidasthermopylae3378]

Which was actually bs propaganda as Napoleon height was actually in the average in 1800

[@ewanyates]

Another vital piece of propaganda the British had is that they beat him at Waterloo

[@jamesalexander5623]

In History many times Great Leaders have come from a small country and take over a Bigger Country and then create an Empire. Gengis Khan from Mongolia conquers China then Half the World. Alexander from Macedon conquers Greece and then Persia and Eqypt and creates a massive Empire.Hitler from Austria takes over Germany and we know what happened then. And Stalin was from Georgia he wasn't Russian takes over the U.S.S.R. and makes it a Superpower.And as you say Napoleon was of Italian descent and becomes the Emperor of the French.

As a history buff, I've always been an admirer of Napoleon and as a cinephile, always been an admirer of Joaquin Phoenix since I saw him in Gladiator. Nobody can portray Napoleon Bonaparte better than him imho. This looks so damn perfect in every way!!! Glad to see him back on screen

[@thedarkknight2221]

I remember when Daniel Radcliffe was on Inside The Actors Studio a student asked him if he would ever consider playing Napoleon. While I would’ve loved that I think Joaquin is absolutely going to kill it as Napoleon. And it looks like the film is going to show how much of a military genius he was and ho he practically changed the face of warfare. When he was at the Paris Military Academy he would study nonstop about canon ballistics. He believed that a sufficiently strong enough artillery and cavalry could easily defeat any infantry, no matter the size, and he was right.

First, it was a coalition which make him loose not just the British army. Second, given Napoleon fought and won many wars with french forces only, it gives a good perspective of the tactical difference and talent between the two parties involved…

[@Valmont103]

One of the most intriguing things about this is that Ridley Scotts' first movie was The Duelist which is about two Napoleonic soldiers who have several duels throughout their military career over a misunderstanding. And here at the twilight of his career he is once again dealing in that time period.

[@allenslayman4272]

First movie? Was the duelist recent? He did alien in 1979

[@placebo5466]

I can't tell you how incredibly excited I am for this movie. Ridley Scott is one of my favorite directors of all time. This movie is going to be his Magnum Opus.

[@aszk-q8c]

Jaby is literally me, getting into Napoleon youtube videos, Alexander the Great, Caesar, Hannibal, all these great historical figures, and it's only after school you realise the beauty of history! without memorising what happened and when.

[@herodotus945]

But of those you must keep in mind how that is only one side of it. History is not just a tale of great powerful men, it is also about ordinary common people and it should be just as important to pay attention to social, economic, religious, scientific, cultural and fashion history so not just wars and politics. Dont fall in the trap called Great Men theory.

[@donna25871]

I love that the way that Joaquin is portraying Napoleon’s arrogance and also the relationship with Josephine. She was no shrinking violet. Although Vanessa Kirby is too young as Josephine was six years older. I wonder if the events of the film will be told in flashback with Napoleon in exile on St Helena?

[@jamesalexander5623]

You should check out "Waterloo" 1970! Rod Steiger Plays Napoleon and Christopher Plummer plays Wellington. It covers Napoleon's escape from Elba and the 100 Days, ending with the Battle of Waterloo. It is an incredible reenactment of the Battle and much of the dialogue is taken from the Historical Records!

[@zeroknight4517]

that movie really is insane and well done!

[@jordanbolm8517]

I wonder how well this is going to hold up compared to waterloo, that movie was soooo epic and massive in scale

[@zeroknight4517]

@@jordanbolm8517 Waterloo was focused on only one battle and while it has incredibly portrayed the whole day, the tactics, the struggle and the whole fights (without the CGI at that time, it simply remains a masterpiece), watching whole battles is not for everyone, especially not for the new generation with the attentionspan of 1 tiktok video. Napoleon will most likely be highlighting only the important decisions, crucial battle frames and some parts of his life he is known for, there's no way a 2 1/2 hour movie will do anything other than a - hopefully solid - recap of Napoleons biggest wins (and losses).

[@yc0995]

​@zeroknight4517 The Wikipedia entry says they are highlighting 6 out of his 61 battles (he fought more battles than the age he died: 56, that's crazy). Toulon and Waterloo are confirmed.

[@zeroknight4517]

@@yc0995 thank you! Pretty sure the Austerlitz, Wagram and Leipzig battles will also be included. (Austerlitz is one at the end of the trailer with the canons and ice, there are glimpses of Leipzig perhaps, as many various uniformed soldiers are shown in one scene and Wagram was his first failure, where he lost some of his friends/generals). It would be crazy if they'd include also Borodino, but since this is about Napoleons greatness, I think they will rather focus on his victorious battles.

[@Onlytheclouds]

The scene at the end where the cannon balls smash the ice is most likely from the battle of austerlitz. He caught the allies in a trap after breaking their centre and swung south. His artillery fired on the lakes which they were retreating on and many drowned.

[@joshuagrover795]

Absolutely correct, the Battle of Austerlitz or the Battle of the Three Emperors, (Tsar Alexander I, Austrian Emperor Francis II vs. Napoleon I), December 1805. One of the most studied battles in history and probably Napoleon's finest victory against the Allies in his military career, his strategy of deception, (which was near perfection using the fog and foresight to guess your opponents' moves) during the battle is still to this day studied in military academics Worldwide.

Napoleon is probably the most capable man the world has ever produced. His detractors, all former enemies, called him a tyrant, but of the 7 European coalitions launched against France, Napoleon only declared war first only once! And moreover, Russian troops were already marching towards France.....Have you ever met a tyrant who is adored by his people? This French emperor was adored by his people, which is what led to the return of the 100 days. Learning about Napoleon and France history is learning about history with a capital H!

Hi guys ! Great video :) As a French I have couple of anecdotes on this trailer - details brought by R. Scott : 1) the red Necklace wore by Josephine is a referenced to the people who got beheaded (people used to wear them, during party). 2) the “Grand Armée” (French army) never shot cannonballs on the pyramid as the battle was 10 miles away from them - other site 3) R Scott wanted to film Napoleon’s coronation exactly like the famous painting from Jean Louis David (so every characters is standing where it was imagine by the painter). You should check it online ;) 4) They tried to stick a maximum to the reality ; like for instance the gallons worn on the uniform It’s gonna be great !

The last scene, the Battle of Austerlitz or the Battle of the Three Emperors, (Tsar Alexander I, Austrian Emperor Francis II vs. Napoleon I), December 1805 was probably Napoleon's finest victory against the Allies in his military career. Napoleon's strategy of deception (which was near perfect of using the fog to hide his troops and leave a "weak right flank," the foresight to guess your opponents' moves, i.e., allowing the Allies to occupy the important Pratzen Heights in the centre of the battlefield) during the battle is still to this day studied in military academics Worldwide. Although Napoleon's is considered a military supermo, the majority of his victories were thanks to the planning and implementation by his immensely capable and effective chief of staff, Marshal Louise Alexandre Berthier.

[@mp3highlits710]

Napoleon had also choose very carrefully his marshalls,like davout that arrived in time to the right flank, but austerlitz maybe could have had a different outcome if Alexander had listened to Kutuzov and waited for Archduke Charles.

[@zeroknight4517]

If Ridley Scott would've made this movie 2-3 years after Gladiator, Joaquin would've been perfect for this. Right now I also feel he's just too old to play Napoleon, especially in all those crucial important years (before Russia). Napoleon is famous for being so brilliant, winning wars, overthrowing the entire new regime after the monarchy has fallen and also becoming emperor of France before turning 40. But Joaquin will crush it with his insane acting, so looking forward to it. Have you watched the Oversimplified videos about Napoleon? :D (if not, please do!)

[@zeroknight4517]

@@user-sb1vz9pv5y I understand, yet the one special thing about Napoleon was that he accomplished everything in a very young age, not within his 40s-50s, which makes him this rare exception and it would be great to see.. I don't care about other people, who even don't know anything about him. People who will go see this movie will mostly be people who know at least something. Ofcourse this will be a blockbuster movie for the masses, probably with some heavy changes (because it's what Hollywood does) and I'm pretty sure Joaquin will do a great job as he always dose (I just hope he won't have that depressed look all the time like in the trailer). The sad thing about this generation is: people tend to think they know everything from the 08/15 movies. And that's not always what really happened (like the movie Troy, which is a perfect example for a complete storytelling desaster)... But let's wait for the movie.

Napoleon was sent to Egypt in order to cut the british trade route to India. Unofficially, the french government was quite weak at the time, and they were afraid that this young, smart and ambitious general would try to take power if he stayed in France for too long.

He invaded Spain to put his brother on the throne and that led to the beginning of his downfall, and refused diplomacy in the last few years when he invaded Russia although he certainly wasn't trying to conquer Russia, he was definitely ultimately trying to conquer Europe. Whether that makes him the villain or not, eh, all countries were dicks at the time. Intentionally caused death and destruction at times just for power, but from France's perspective he was generally a just and progressive leader for the time.

With the ice lake those were the austrians

[@randallwest1572]

You need more than cliff notes. Napoleon’s Egypt expedition lead to the discovery of the rosseta stone. The cannons he fired on to the soldiers attacking on the ice was Austerlitz but the enemy was actually retreating, a little historical license I’ll forgive. Looks great. Napoleon was an admirer of the Roman Empire.

[@joshuagrover795]

Napoleon's archaeologists unearthed the Rosetta Stone in 1799, (in a failed expedition against the British in Egypt) was and still a critical factor in the decrepting of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Battle of Austerlitz in December 1805 was probably Napoleon's finest victory against the Allies, his strategy of deception during the battle is still studied in military academics Worldwide today.

[@ChrisCrossClash]

And then Britain beats him and takes it back to the British museum.

You should watch Scott's first film - The Duelists - set in this period

[@laurentv.6631]

Totally agree. One of my favorites from Scott.

Yep The Duelists is a great film 🥰🥰🥰

Napoleon,the greatest military commander of all time and one of the most impactful people in history

This movie seems pretty accurate, can't wait !

[@bigmikem1578]

Idk the ICE scene at the end. That wasn’t some surprise that was at the end of the battle of Austerlitz as They retreated and sure he had his own propaganda that said he drowned hundreds and thousands but it was lord a couple of dozen.

@@bigmikem1578 yeah I know. It was the only things who change that I noticed. But for the other scenes it seems pretty accurate to me.

La ambientación se ve impresionante y el tráiler también y la interpretación de Joaquín Phoenix podría obtener un nuevo Oscar y la película de director Ridley Scott puede ser nominada también como mejor película, solo queda esperar y verr el resultado en el cine.

The channel Epic history Tv has a series on Napoleon from his rise to downfall and it is some of the best historical content I’ve seen in my entire life. I highly recommend it

[@TTM9691]

I don't know. The music was cheesy. The CGI looks ok, I wasn't distracted by it, that's an accomplishment. I didn't hear one French accent, lol. Spielberg is doing a miniseries of Napoleon based on Kubrick's script (he made "Clockwork Orange" instead). For someone like Napoleon, I think I'd rather hear it in French, to be honest.

[@MrSinnerBOFH]

Oh man! Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott! Count me in!

[@fulley9382]

If you are newly browsing historical content and want some more Napoleon, @EpicHistoryTV is the best channel by far. Their Napoleon in Italy series and Napoleon’s Marshals series are among my favorites, always being filled with intricate details. They also have the basic stuff, hours long videos detailing the chronology is his reign.

[@randallwest1572]

PBS empires has the best documentary I’ve ever seen on Napoleon. You can see it for free on KZbin

[@quasar4601]

If its just a B grade movie .. its a win

[@peterjobovic3406]

In fact, Waterloo was one of the less significant battles of the Napoleonic Wars. Even if the English will claim the opposite. After the campaign to Russia and the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig, not much remained of the French army. Waterloo was just the epilogue, which was completed by the Prussians and Gebhard von Blücher.

If you want cliffnotes of Napoleon's life, highly recommend Oversimplified's Napoleon series

[@herodotus945]

Eh, both of those are more fiction than fact.

[@DebjyotisGaming]

Napoleon was a legend, one of the greatest tactician, having mastery in the field of artillery, he made his name in Battle of Toulon when he was just 24; the trailer gives some glimpse on the battles which would be covered viz. Egyptian expedition ~ 1798, Battle of Austerlitz a.k.a the Battle of the Three Emperors ~ 1805, only crib would be Joaquin Phoenix though a terrific actor is too old to play the earlier days of Napoleon; just hope Ridley Scott showcases the major battles including the one - Waterloo which ultimately seals the fate of the 'Little Corporal'

[@jayb8298]

Tactician??...😂..look what the British did to him...water & land...fool!

Since the Ukrainie War, I started watching alot of military history on KZbin.

[@davedalton1273]

Russell Crowe won that year, for Gladiator. What an indictment of our educational system, that younger people know so little about history, among other things. Napoleon was indeed in Egypt, where his soldiers found The Rosetta Stone, no less! What other treasures might be found, if only people still read!

[@agenttheater5]

Out of curiosity and while we're on the subject on pre-and-post revolutionary France, has anyone here seen the movie 'Chevalier' that came out a few months ago? Think they'll bring up Napoleon basically banning his music when he became emperor? Think they'll bring up Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, the first man of African descent to rise to the position of General in the French army, who served under Napoleon in Egypt? After he died Napoleon refused to pay his wife (a caucasian woman) the money generally given to widows of generals - their son was Alexandre Dumas who wrote 'The Man In The Iron Mask' and 'The Three Musketeers'.

[@haraldisdead]

Commodus is a high bar, but this could be Joaquinns best film. We'll see.

[@punchtalestudio]

Let’s bear in mind that Scott is English. His take on French history is oriented to say the least , aka Robin Hood

Stuffing Napoleon’s entire career in one film is pretty ambitious (remember Oliver Stone’s Alexander), there is enough material there for 2 or 3 films.

It’s historically accurate that Josephine would have short hair when she first met Napoleon, she had cut it in response to the French Revolution

Been a history buff since I could walk. Definitely by five or six. I'm a Ridley Scott Stan too. Have you guys not seen The Last Duel or The Kingdom's Heaven: Director's Cut???? Integral films in his filmography.

Nice to see some that are still inspired enough to make these "This a movie ass fucking movie!". I just recently watched Greyhound and with how small and simple that movie was it was incredible how sucked into it I got, just a story told really well without an ounce of fat to be seen. Napoleon looks very much like the same thing. No doubt it will be as historically off the rails as Gladiator was but it don't think that ever hurt Gladiator so why would it matter this time. Almost as excited about this as I am for Dune. I would say Oppenheimer as well but Nolan, well, the memes aren't wrong.
