You got to love the older war films, practical effects and every soldier an actual man in uniform, just so much grander and better than having to rely on CGI which tends to note age well at all and looks dated by the time it comes out.
CGI are only used when the movie makes don't have enough budget if you realized these movies have stunt men which have to act dead. which cost a lot of money not to mention the horses the set etc.
It's certainly noticeable how much better the pre-2000 movies were at telling a visual story. Not sure if CGI is to blame, but I suspect much of the darkness, confusion and shaky cam in the newer movies may be to hide too obvious CGI
Waterloo is one of my favourite war movies because of the sheer scale of the scenes and that everyone you see is an actor. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of actors are the same as the soldiers who took part in the wars.
@@bigsoap186 Much more than that, my friend. Before filming even started, the Russian field engineers rebuilt the entire battlefield to exact specifications of houses and mud roads and hills and slopes. Everything. A massive undertaking as we are talking more than 20 square kilometers of landscape and buildings and what not. And add to that the artillerymen and infantrymen alongside the cavalrymen. On BOTH sides. We are talking at least 2 army sized units taking part in the battle scenes plus all the logistics and food and quarters for the soldiers between filming the scenes, and the aforementioned engineering work. And there is even more to it than the scenes and the filming. All these soldiers had to be taught the tactics and strategies and combat methods of the Napoleonic wars and then train it several times to make sure it worked as planned before dunning the French and German and British uniforms of the time. All of these many thousand Russian troops of every kind deserves a huge applause and admiration. Because they carried the movie, and there wouldn't have been a movie if they didn't work so hard to make it right. I know that we in the west are not particularly fond of praising Russian soldiers, but these soldiers doing such a huge effort and showing such dedication really are a pride to Russia.
Loved all of these movies! Glory had the most amazing ending I have ever seen in a war movie. It was like seeing a classical painting in real time, merged with symphonic music, exploding out of violence with a horrible outcome.
Glory's ending really drove home the point of the film: Not only are there things worth fighting for, but there are some things that are worth DYING for.
Nobody could really equal the Waterloo-movie from 1970 until today....Its so intense and full of little details that its really umatched. A pity that there was never a directors cut or an extended version.
That movie is also just a tale. Hollywood-shit. It happened, ok. Had a big part of the history of the anglosaxons, new guys in Europe, not to large and famous history... Peoples (not NATIONS, not at all) with 600-800 years history. A part prooved, the other lied... As used at the anglo-saxons with collonies... If you are interested about a brave, the only in Europe, just start to learn reading and read books about scithian.parthian.hun.maghiars-hungarians. And try to learn from them. You will see, is a good idea...
Unfortunately, whenever we talk about greatest movies of all time, we all assume it’s got to be a Hollywood film. The same gentleman who directed Waterloo (Steiger is the best Napoleon ever) also directed possibly the greatest film (any genre) of all time. War and Peace 1966 was sponsored by the Soviet Union to show up Hollywood’s version in 1956 (Fonda and Hepburn). Director Sergei Bondarchuk (who also stars in the film) was given almost unlimited control to produce in my opinion, the finest pre CGI film period. Like the novel, the film is also quite long with heavy character build up between battles. The Borodino segment is the finest battle sequence of any war film….period. War and Peace in it’s entirety is a Soviet Masterpiece that can only be found on the Criterion channel.
Сам фильм безусловно хорош, но вот батальные сцены сняты не реалистично. Без компьютерной графики вообще вряд-ли было возможно сделать реалистично. Очень жаль, что у Бондарчука не было тогда такого инструмента.
Movies like Waterloo Alamo were all 20+ years old by the time I was born & they’re still better than many movies made today 2023! You just can’t beat real special effects and real individual people even with the best cgi. Just captures the viewers attention so well even now
I’ve seen Glory and it was a great movie out of all of these I’ve seen The battle of Crater more like the Massacre at the Crater cause Union soldiers got slaughtered And they were told by the General go around the crater don’t go into it which due to the damage being done at the crater the men were shocked had sympathy for the enemy and decided to help the wounded
@@jameswilliams3241 correct They chose him by drawing straws, stupid decision but the other officers had more experience then he did and didn’t order his men to go around it but the sympathy for the Union when they saw the dead and dying they had to do what they could there humanity to help the wounded the greedy to take souvenirs. Lead to the unfortunate deaths of so many men basically in Cold Mountain phrase “a turkey shoot”
The scene used for the patriot actually depicts the battle of Guilford Courthouse. It was one of the culminating battles that led to the siege of Yorktown later.
Superheroes are awesome but what i really wanna see is a connected movie series about the napoleonic wars. It'll all end in waterloo like endgame does. Also they all need to be rated R because nobody's going to understand why cavalry was so effective at the time until they see arms and legs flying off from the sabers, skulls being crushed by hooves.
Ain’t nuthin like the fresh smell of blackpowder and blood in the morning I live for battles like this just you and a musket against the Hordes of Hell
I watched a documentary one time about the siege of Petersburg, or the battle of the creator, the Union Commanding General in charge of the assault made his men practice for the attack while ex-miners and trench diggers dug that tunnel under the CSA trench, but after the explosion and the attack commenced, the Union forces did not expect to run into a the massive creater or the wall of dirt that stopped them dead in their tracks, at that point it wasn't much of a battle but more of a massacre
That battle was lost to the Union the minute they started to run forward. Every soldier who knew something about movement and close combat would have been able to tell the commanding officer that they needed to attack on each side of the crater and NOT run down into the crater. They litterally became the proverbial sitting ducks when they did that. The officer who sent them into the crater has to have been a total amateur.
@@Jens-Viper-Nobel in that we are in agreement, but if the commanding general in charge of the siege would have watch and took command like he should have instead of hiding and drinking whiskey then the siege at Petersburg would have been different than it turned out to be
Hey, slight correction (not that you'll see this three years later) but the battle shown from The Patriot wasn't the "Battle of Yorktown." You were thinking of the Siege of Yorktown shown at the end of the movie. You showed the Battle of Cowpens.
it feels Truly Amazing if hearing those muskets Canons go BOOM N BANG watching dozens or hundreds of Men die its deadly but Satisfying to watch in Amaze.
The good thing is that with CGI movie horse don’t die… Charge of the Light Brigade etc… Any film, pre CGI, with horses usually sees fatalities something, especially true, with Waterloo😪❤️
Even though Ft. Wagner was never taken, the 54th enmasse got the closest. Never underestimate the power of men who will do anything for a commander they respect, but more than that... a commander they love.
As a french i Can Say Waterloo IS a very very good movie who showed the french deafeat , but english deafeat was near too , and the prussia Come ect , very nice movie
Even though the title is misleading as regards the Eras in which these battles took place, the movies themselves were spectacular. None so much though as Sergei Bondarchuk's "Waterloo". filmed using all live actors.
Correction dude the battle scene from the Patriot you featured is actually supposed to depict the Battle of Cowpens fought a few months before Yorktown and it was also an American victory but in real life unlike in the movie the battle was a quick and decisive victory for the Americans
one big question i have about waterloo is where was the british cavalry when the french cavalry attacked and forced the british into squares.why didnt the british cavalry help them out? or where they a spent force by that stage of the battle? only thing i can think of
I love all movies about the War how the Civil War and World War I and World War II You can put up a new video of the Chinese Civil and Chinese History War Movies, 🇨🇳❤❤❤❤❤
Wasn’t it burnside who yet again fails miserably with his plans when he sends his men down into the crater ? Not the first time he’s done a folly . First was Antietam where he fought so hard to take a bridge which he by the end of it was pushed back across . And then the fourteen failed assaults on the stone wall at Fredricksburg
Wars were fought that brutally before modern times, I wonder if the higher tech, fancier but deadlier weapons today make it more terrifying than actually facing your enemy like back then.
If you mean Waterloo, it was filmed in the Soviet Union, today's Ukraine and the Soviet army provided almost 20,000 soldiers as extras, plus a corps of combat engineers (incl. heavy machinery), several helicopters for the aerial shots and producer Dino DeLaurentiis hired over 300 professional stunt riders plus horses from all over Europe for the cavalry. The Red Army engineers bulldozed a field, planted trees and even build a 5 Kilometer road, to transport all the crew, actors, extras to it. Oh an they build 2 historically correct farm houses, that were on the real battlefield of Waterloo. The soldiers were trained for months, in Napoleonic battle formations and using muskets & artillery guns. The movie cost a fortune and was sadly a financial failure.
In the Last of the Mohicans when the British left the fort in reality they had to give up their arms to the French and were completely helpless when the Native Americans were attacked them.

@@blixbelliose3206 immersion
Waterloo is absolutely jaw dropping. They seriously don't make them like they used to. For better or worse.
Kinda helps when its Co-sponsored by Italy and the Soviet Union
I sure hope it's jaw dropping. It was one of the most expensive movies ever made.
They literally had to retrain tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers in Napoleonic warfare
Only Chinese can still do it. But they tend to use CGI too nowadays...
Not every day a country's military supplies 15,000 men to be used as soldiers in a historic military film.
Waterloo. No CGI. Amazing

Waterloo has 17000 Soviet Infantry and a Brigade of Cavalrymen as extras and it was filmed in Ukraine. No joke.
thats amazing!

That ambush shot from last of the Mohicans (you know the one) is like a moving painting.

I liked gettysburg, the sountrack of gettysburg beautifull but both are great movies
Beautiful yet a tragic honor and bravery
Wow... Thank you for this EPIC compilation!
The way the ground rises with the underground detonation is astonishing.
Harder to find movies and scenes of this era so thanks for this !

The final battle scene depicted in the movie "The Patriot" is the Battle of Guildford Courthouse not the Battle of Yorktown.
I thought it was Cowpens.
The battle is actually a combination of both Cowpens and Guilford Court House.
I’ve seen Glory and it was a great movie out of all of these I’ve seen
The battle of Crater more like the Massacre at the Crater cause Union soldiers got slaughtered
And they were told by the General go around the crater don’t go into it which due to the damage being done at the crater the men were shocked had sympathy for the enemy and decided to help the wounded
The officer who to lead the charge at the Crater didn't communicate the fact that they were to go around because he was dead drunk.
@@jameswilliams3241 correct

holy shit finally found a bunch of movies set in musket & cannon bla bla something like that awesome
ya know in future if you keep doing this you get more sub and make an discord server 😂
Gran trabajo tomar las batallas sobresalientes de cada película, excelente 😊
I would like to that uniforms of 1810s Napoleonic were probably the Fanciest uniforms for any Army.

10:13 that is not the battle of Yorktown ,it’s the battle of Cowpens
I was about to comment on that, I’m surprised no one else hasn’t said anything about that.
Finaly, This list what i looking for.. Great thanks. 👍👍👍

At 10:25 you can see a black British soldier in the background I would say some nice accuracy considering how inaccurate the patriot can be
Some slaves did serve as a soldier in the British army so yeah
Gettysburg is not on this list? Zulu and Zulu Dawn would have also fallen in this time period.
Do you have any movies based on pike and shot warfare? There’s Alatriste and cromwell
@ 0:46 seriously no CGI no contest
Keep going 😊😋
I feel bad for all the horses that were in war RIP
Awesome 😍 bro

@4:12 where is that explosion coming from
from a cannon duh

HOW DID THEY FILM THIS~~~
They hired half the Russian army.
If you mean Waterloo, it was filmed in the Soviet Union, today's Ukraine and the Soviet army provided almost 20,000 soldiers as extras, plus a corps of combat engineers (incl. heavy machinery), several helicopters for the aerial shots and producer Dino DeLaurentiis hired over 300 professional stunt riders plus horses from all over Europe for the cavalry.

Oh an they build 2 historically correct farm houses, that were on the real battlefield of Waterloo.
The soldiers were trained for months, in Napoleonic battle formations and using muskets & artillery guns.

The Four Feathers scene definitely gives me Bighorn vibes

just a question in "the last of the mochicans" why do french troops wear red uniforms ? wasn't red coats a british army attire ?
No battle of poltava?
Why aren't they having covers when shooting?
The Patriot is Cowpens, not Yorktown.
Last of the Mohicans, still one of the greatest Musket based movies out there.
