I finished watching this masterpiece last night on HBO Max. I cannot believe that (a) this was filmed in the mid 1960's and (b) that the USSR financed and promoted a story partly humanizing Russian aristocracy. The cinematography, artistic direction, decorative minutia, costumes, Napoleon-era battle scenes with mind-boggling pyrotechnics, and remarkable stage-like acting made this one of the grandest cinematic projects in history. And the soul of Tolstoy dwells on every scene. Seven hours and I never EVER got bored or tired. Each scene was delightful to watch, as if you were enjoying a beautiful painting. What a tribute to art and culture!

I saw this film in the very early 70s when I believe on NBC over four nights. I was eleven or twelve years old at the time and was totally Blown Away by it. I vividly remember what an incredible Masterpiece it was. For years I've wanted to re-watch it and now thankfully I have that opportunity. I am so glad. Everything in this movie was done on such an incredibly Grand scale.

[@mikecarroll6494]

Yes, it first ran during the summer over 4 nights on ABC. It was the US release version that had an hour deleted, re-edited and dubbed in English for the US theatrical release, that was released in 2 3-hour parts and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. I think I was 15 when it was on. I thought I'd watch ten minutes, then the film started and in the first 10-seconds I was mesmerized. After it was ove my life had been changed. I no longer saw life in terms of black and white, good and bad--but in many shades of grey, and where everyone has positive and negative traits, and no one is without flaws. I then read the Toldstoy book over the course of a year. I'm now in my late-60's and for years I have kept a copy of the book on my nighstand and open it to any section and read a few pages and it gives me comfort. It's a story about Life. Everybody is looking for Love. Love, the most beautiful and elusive of all things.

THE greatest epic ever made. This is part 1. Total length is 7 hours. I hope the other parts will follow. Saw it a few months ago on Blu Ray and this quality is as good or maybe even better, with stereo dialogue. It has a unique stately style where often characters themselves narrate part of of scene or speak their thoughts out loud and it takes a while to adapt to the style and relate the subtitles to the correct speaker. It’s an emotional beautiful romantic story of love and tragedy, and also a realisation of Napoleons greatest battles featuring a cast of many thousands. For Sergei Bondarchuck to take on the role of the male lead and the role of Directing this monumental epic, and creating such a masterpiece, is pure genius. Watch and try to take it all in. No other movie reaches into your heart and soul as this movie does. THIS film, at about 7 hours long, and 2001: A Space Odyssey are the two greatest movies that will ever be made. They will never be surpassed. (UK)

[@CapitaineCouille]

And the explanation of what it meant to be a soldier by the narrator and the fact that this movie place you in the head of the all the participant. Men, i just can't explain this movie is perfect. And of course it's because it have this tolstoi vision of war which places the individuals in the center hard to explain. Just listen Prince Andrei before Borodino battle when he talk with Pierre this is Tolstoi talking.

[@ИванПотатуев]

Count Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the legendary defense of Sevastopol. Crimean War. He also belonged to one of the famous, aristocratic families of Russia. Therefore, all the details described in the novel, he knew and felt very well. Therefore, the novel is recognized all over the world. As the most outstanding literary work of all time.

[@BadBoy-bt6lb]

By the way, according to the book, Andrei was seriously wounded during the battle on the Borodino field. This was a real battle with Napoleon. Russian monuments and obelisks are kept on this field. Guderian’s tank troops advanced through Borodino. The Russians stopped them there. When I went on an excursion, I visited those places. In the bunkers, the year of birth and the names of the soldiers are scratched into the cement walls.

that's wonderful ! breathtaking ! when I saw this film in Paris in 1971, I was far from thinking that Soviet cinema could produce a film of such magnitude. Sergey Bondarchuk revolutionized cinema by introducing paint, each sequence is a Delacroix painting: the result is that the filmmaker not only equals Tolstoi, but goes further, to a level that will never be equaled by cinema again. even Akira Kurosawa, who devoted his film Ran (= war in old Japanese) as a tribute to color, did no better. Why was Sergey Bandarchuk so ignored? I'm not asking you.

1:13:28 / 2:26:48 バグラチオンは馬から降りた...フランス兵の縦隊が数人の将校を先頭に、山の下から現れた... 「では頼むぞ！」バグラチオンはしっかりした明瞭な声でこう言って...でこぼこした原を前方へ進んで行った。 アンドレイ公爵は何かしら強い不可抗力が、自分を前方に引いて行くのを感じ、世の常ならぬ幸福を覚えた...バグラチオン公爵と並んで 進んで...もう明らかにフランス製の負革や、赤い肩章や、顔すらも見分けることができた...バグラチオン公爵は新たに命令を発せず、 依然として無言のまま列の前に立って進んで行く。ふいにフランス兵の間に銃声が一つ響くと、続いて二つ三つ・・・ やがて混乱した敵の全線に渡って、煙がみなぎり銃声がパチパチと響き出した。味方の兵が５、６人倒れたが、その中には、例の愉快そうに 一生懸命で歩調を取っていた、丸顔の将校も混じっていた...バグラチオンは後ろを振り向いて叫んだ。 「ウラア！」「ウラア！ウラア！」という引き伸ばしたような叫喚が、味方の全線に響き渡った。 と、バグラチオン公爵を追い越して、互いに追っかけ合いながら、整ってはいないけれど愉快げな生きいきした群れを作って、 味方は混乱したフランス軍の後を追って山を馳せ下だった。

A masterpiece!!!

[@francisco_ponce]

It's so nice to see this level of movie after finish my first full reading of the war and peace novel. Is extremely close related to the book, with so much lines extracted directly from the book it self, but for me, each scene in the movie can't picture all the essence from the book, cuz the lack of time that make impossible to add the little details of each character. After reading Dostoievski, Tolstoi don't fall behind at all, that make me really want to read his book of confessions and the dead of ivan ilich. GREATING FROM CHILE, SANTIAGO. IDK YOUR SLAVIC LANGUAGE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE VERY DARK, SO EMOTIONAL AND COMPLEX, KUDOS TO LEX FRIDMAN FOR MAKE MORE VISIBLE THE RUSSIAN CULTURE TO OUR WESTERN SIDE, SPECIALLY TO SOUTH AMERICA.

[@munkhbayarbaljinnyam2275]

Truly a masterpiece to say the least. I haven't read the books yet--I love the movies. One thing I don't understand yet is around 52:45, when Andrei asks his father, if a son is born to him and he dies in battle, to take him under his roof and Prince Bolkonsky seems to be dismayed by the idea. Why is that? Can someone explain that to me?

[@stacyscorsese1078]

I believe he doesn’t want to think of his son dying. He does love him. Also, I think most of us in the world are superstitious and one doesn’t speak of one’s future death. It may bring it about.

[@missasinenomine]

Bolkonsky is shocked that would ask this of him, that is, not to let his wife (Andrei's wife & mother of his potential son) bring up the child herself. He's afraid that she would make a feminised wimp of him. He wants him to be a man, with a military training, like his father, Andrei, & Grandfather, (Prince Bolkonsky). PB knows this, of course, but nonetheless is surprised to hear it from his son Andrei. In the end it didn't matter, as his wife dies in childbirth.

[@cyanide4u539]

What a beautiful depiction of a marvelous novel, one can't comprehend it well if not familiar with the novel and have studied it before watching this masterpiece. I have seen adaptation of same novel by othe chanels as well, but, this Russian version is the father of them all. Kudos to the producer, director script writer and actors. well done. Thanks for sharin it on youtube, I have seen clips of this movie before as well but watching it in continuity is a treat worth watching. Thanks again.

I believe there's a backstory on the making of the film and the Soviet government. The director, producer and screenwriter insisted on artistic freedom...read about this some years after seeing the movie in the late 60's while in high school. Great movie.

How did they film this in the 1960's without drones? Some of the footage really feels like 2020's style drone footage.

[@ИванПотатуев]

Filmed from a balloon.

They used zip lines I think. In the ballroom scene, the fire of Moscow, & the battle scenes.

I read the book a couple of times and this is the closest movie to the book I have seen, Henry Fonda as Pierre never really seemed convincing he was too small and a bit too decisive and Prince Bolkonsky is played with more intensity in this version.

[@xadalau9758]

I cannot conceive a 50's Hollywood War and Peace movie staring Henry Fonda. Well, at least that bomb served to motivate the soviets to make this masterpiece.

I believe the author Tolstoy was a Russian artillery officer who served during the 1850s Crimean War fighting against the British, French, and Ottoman Turk invaders.

[@ninaboomer4235]

He really was

[@ninayakovlev616]

Tolstoy served as a young artillery officer during the Crimean War and was in Sevastopol during the 11-month-long siege of Sevastopol in 1854-55, including the Battle of the Chernaya. During the war he was recognized for his courage and promoted to lieutenant.

Where is part 2 ? I have completely read this novel in which there were several interesting phrases which were as follows: 1. Blood is thicker than water . 2. Napoleon was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. 3. Bite any finger ,it hurts just the same. 1 is the same as Korean proverb which seems to have been from Europe in old times. 2 means that Napoleon,s family is neither considerable noble one nor very poor one because he was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth not being Gold spoon. 3 is the word which her father says to his daughter ,in which finger means his child which is hurts just the same which when he bites.
