Napoleon was one of the greatest men of all time. He was an incredible general and soldier, amazing statesman, and his legacy is everywhere today, he set upp the rules for the modern state. Dosnt matter if he was a tyrant or revolutionary, og genius. He was great.
Except Phoenix doesn't look like Napoleon nor he behaves like him: he looks totally emotionless like a robot, while Napoleon was just opposite. Also, these 3 minutes are full of errors and fantasies (for example Napoleon leading a cavalry charge?)
After he dead ,20 years later on ,he is body bring back to france and french people didn t forget him.he wanted his body after dead to be with his people.....
Numerous émigrés (French exiles who fought against the revolution) rallied to him once he became first consul and then emperor. Also, he ended the repression of the revolutionaries against the clergy and rebuilt the link with the Church.
@@lahire4943 partially with the church, he did rebuilt a link, but he put it under him, instead of equals or even superior. As an example, when he crowned himself in front of the pope
As a French person, I am very impressed. I love Ridley Scott, and I am also surprised to see the interest that Napoleon Bonaparte is generating abroad. Thank you very much for your reactions!
The scene with the mob is the 13 Vendémiaire event when royalist people trying to overthrow the republican goverment because its anti-catholic reforms. Napoleon was given free movment to crush the rebel mob and he did it with artillery loaded with grapeshots wich cause hundreds of casualties but Napoleon succeded crushing the mobs and advance like a rocket in the ranks.
Joaquin has Napoleon’s arrogance down to a tee. I also love that Josephine is no shrinking violet (which is how she was in real life). It will be interesting to see how 25 years is covered in a 2 hour 38 minute film. Perhaps told in flashback?
He was average height for the time. The British propaganda machine made him look small in cartoons, and it didn't help that he made his personal bodyguard out of his tallest men.
Napoleon was average height for the time. The British who hated him started the rumour that he was short. Since they won the war against him. They wrote the history.
Well for 1 the battle of the pyramids took place about 9 miles away from the pyramids so they were far in the backdrop. Napoleon being the victor named it the battle of the pyramids for propaganda purposes. 2. Archeological site excavation of the pond where he supposedly fired canon into the ice to cause soldiers to drown failed to find any remains. Which doesn't conclusively mean it didn't happen but there are doubts. 3. Napoleon's relationship to the peasants varied. The electoral plebiscite that made him Emperor was manipulated. They did vote for him as a majority but Napoleon changed the numbers to appear to have had a larger majority of the vote. In the beginning and middle of his reign the people loved that there were no more guillotines and they could practice their Catholicism again. However towards the end they became annoyed at the endless wars and conscription and death.

The French Emperor Napoleon was not small, he was 1 metre and 72 centimetres tall, which is more than the average for his time....Today he would probably be a few centimetres below the average, but not in 1790.
Nice reaction. Ive reading about Napoleon sonce childhood...he's a genius commander and statesman...there's more to him than just simply rendering hom tyrant, though ofcourse he has element of tyranny...when its a historical epic its always better to have a decent background about the figure and the period...
My only fear is that they’ll try to cover too much ground too quickly in this film. I love Ridley Scott, yet sometimes his movies are visually spectacular, but light on story development.
Peasants were literally Napoléon's soldiers. That's the whole point of what happened during the Révolution and you can hear it even in the National Anthem, all the children of the Fatherland joinning the army to save France from, well, basicaly, everybody else. For the mentality of that time period the greatest thing Napoléon did was that for the first time in french History peasants brought medals back home to their small villages no one in their families ever left. Before the Révolution you couldn't be in the military if you were a peasants. Thanks to him our ancestors knew about honor and glory for the very first time so he was extremely popular. (And I'm not even a big fan of his)
as a Frenchman it's strange to see one of our most famous compatriots speak English (Napoleon's worst enemies were the English...), but this film may be the most realistic about the character. There are however things unrealistic in the film (he never fired on the pyramids, the battle took place at more than 800 meters), so whether or not the film will be close to the real facts remains to be seen...
Great trailer but the Ice sceen is wrong historicly. They were already on the retreat when the french shot at the ice. nobody atacked across a river or lake. (Battle of Austerlitz)

You could say that he was a revolutionary tyrant.
Joaquin Phoenix for best actor, Ridley Scott for best director, and Napoleon for best picture.

To answer your question, every Frenchman that wasn't nobility or clergy loved him.

Aprés avoir lu quelques ouvrages en Anglais, on se rend compte que ce sont les Anglo-Saxons qui l'ont le plus adulé notamment D. Chandler

I agree, super excited for Josephine. Where did you find the alleged run time?
He wasn't arrogant in the same way a Jordan Belfort (Wolf of Wall Street) and countless others are. He was way beyond that 🙂
"A society without religion is like a vessel without a compass.” Napoleon Bonaparte
He also say I’ll be catholic at Rome and Muslim in Egypt. He knew as Marx all of this was to control people

Which may not have happened, anyway. They drained the ponds and didn't find anyone down there.

Napoleon was a monster.
A monster for his enemies, a hero for his allies, a great figure in history for the world, and one or the best warlord in history
@@mrvarspent4716 And for us French he was our greatest Emperor!
Nah, British Empire was a monster. Napoleon only defend his nation.
