I'm glad these youtube people finally understand we want and DEMAND multi-hour long Napoleon documentaries and we want them NOW.
Here here. 👏👏
Demand?? TF are you? Go make or buy one.
Just watched the actual movie. If he wanted to do a movie on arguably the greatest conqueror there was. Then display his planning, cunning and execution. Show the strengthening bonds with him and his men. Show the risks of battle paying off. Show his inspiring speech to his men. This man earned his place in history. But rather… the movie was dominated by Josephine, he was belittled and shown to be weak. You never met his generals. You never felt excitement. You only saw what you’d think was a spoilt boy born into kingship. He was never portrayed as charismatic, he was never portrayed as successful. Napoleon was seen as a figure disconnected from reality that held a negative attitude rather than a beaming positive attitude of what he could accomplish. This director took on a film on Napoleon then ignored his history…why do I care about him whining to Josephine for more than half the movie? He won over 50 battles, would you like to delve into some and I’ll watch a romcom for a two hour love story? The pacing of the film is so bad you’ll end up confused as to what’s actually happening with the flashes through time. The explanations are horrid, they should’ve Atleast had a narrator so the butchery wasn’t so bad. To put it plainly friends I feel like a Prussian after the battle of austrilitz after watching that horrid, horrid movie. Please keep Hollywood away from all historical figures.
I can wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the movie and I went to see it in the hopes that it would actually portray napoleon's brilliant strategic mind,it completely left out his marshals or the building of the French empire and was mostly a whining romance that almost portrayed him as a cucked sulking coward it didn't do napoleon justice and only gave passing mention to most of his battles.
Yikes ! I was gonna see it tomorrow. Sounds terrible and shame on Ridley scott for belittling Scorsese’s approach to filmmaking too.
Yeah, shocked that Ridley Scott blew this great opportunity at a great movie about a great man. 2 thumbs down :(
Completely agree with everything mentioned above. Major disappointment.
Someone's upset.
I love how Napoleon rose through the ranks and became one of the most powerful and influential human beings of all time. All from humble beginnings. He really is inspirational and the only reason he is considered a villain by history is because he lost to the British and they got to decide he was the bad guy. If Napoleon beat the British then it would be totally different
Lol nobody considers him a bad guy not even the british. And if he was it was because he tried conquering his European neighbors instead of foreign nations.
Napoleon is not really considerd a bad guy by any side
Certainly bad by our standards but by the time he was nothing special in terms of morality and was just one of many ambitious leaders willing to kill
It makes me SO HAPPY to see such an influx of people seeing past all the lies put out by a man who freed nations, freed slaves, eliminated and outlawed usury, gave religious freedom, took away religious power over the government, took away power from the freemasōns, and so much more.
In the US napoleon is taught to be a horrible ruthless warmonger.@@Destroyer120296
Jolly good.
I appreciate you getting that bag. This Network deserves it. Movie bad, this documentary fantasic.
Napoleon's character had defenitely no darker side than any of his opponents, instead he had a progressive side at times which no one else had.
I havent read anyhting about Wellington executing 3,000 prisoners of war.
Every country has committed atrocities at some point throughout history. You know that, right?@@jonathanhandsome6985
Just thirsty of Power and Domination.
That’s our French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
@@jonathanhandsome6985 Badajoz ?
We talkin the movie here?
Ridley Scott simply did not do Napoleon justice, maybe because he’s British and wanted to portray him in a bad light. Such a missed opportunity.
Nothing to do with the British, it’s the anti White agenda in Hollywood.
Thank you for being one of the only few people who see through all the lies. He freed slaves, abolished usury, gave religious freedom to the people yet took religious power out of government, he took power from the freemasōns and other secret societies, gave rights to women, and so much more.
Agreed. Scott is an arrogant as been director who trashed over a genius’s legacy
Ridley should have watched this documentary or read a book about Napolean at least. 😂
Who to believe? The british account who paint napoleon as cruel, what about killing millions in India, and as if there attitude towards non-european was quite remarkable, they were as racist as napoleon.
An entire episode is missing. More than a year, 2013-2014, is missing. Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon's big defeat on the battlefield, and the occupation of Paris are not mentioned.
one of my favorite Napoleon documentary series, I've had it in my vlc playlist for a few years and sometime have it on repeat for days

Napoleon's signature headgear just recently sold for over 2 million dollars via auction in Paris. L' Empereur is still a thing over two centuries later.
He wore the cap sideways to look badass and it worked splendidly. The one hand resting inside the breast of the coat was also another signature look he crafted.
@@guyfawkes8384 no that's a Masonic hand gesture...
It’s called a "Bicorn Hat" not a simple headgear
Nope.@@ConnorkKidd
I would think it would be worth more than 2 million..guess not
This is 40 minutes longer than Ridley's directors cut!
Seeing the movie Wednesday night in IMAX!
And far more factual I bet!
@@flintandball6093 well I would hope a documentary is more factual than a dramatized film!
i am also going to the theater by myself so i can experience this masterpiece
bad movie for history epic ...
@@jessicalacasse6205really,? Why? I've been looking forward to the epic.
I own an original Klingenthal Cuirassier sword, dated 1813. It was given to the CSM of the "Black Horse" Regiment by his men at the Change of Command ceremony in the 1980's. He gave it to me. The scabbard is steel. I ride horses and teach them how to accept the use of all sorts of weapons from the saddle. I have taught my foxhunting horses to accept the use of a sword from the saddle. The "cuirassier sword" is a beast. While no good as a "cut and slash" weapon like a curved saber, it will pierce a steel breastplate with its heavy, thick, sharp point. I can understand why a Cuirassier would prefer that type over the curved saber. My original 1840 US "wrist-breaker", is almost as massive. Almost. I wouldn't want to receive a thrust from either as they would both be fatal. I have always wondered if my Klingenthal was carried at Waterloo.
I just watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Their portrayal of Napoleon was spot on. 👌
''You doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than all we generals.'' ~Napoleon Bonaparte
My how things have changed lol
What did he mean by that? Was Napoleon referring to doctors practicing bad medicine are being horrible people? Many of them are horrible enough now.
Love it and right was he!
Two world wars, two fascist dictatorships, and 2 socialist nightmares later, i don't think this statement stands up to scrutiny
"Never interrupt the enemy when he’s making a mistake"
This quote from our French Emperor is the most popular one
"If you wish to be successful. Promise everything. Deliver nothing"
The same is my favorite
Anyway. Vive l’Empereur 🟦⬜️🟥🇫🇷🦅
A great video! It takes 300 minutes, and still glosses over a ton of history - the entire war of the Sixth Coalition is never mentioned, a dozen battles including the Leipzig - the largest European battle pre-WW1.
I would love to watch a true detailed study over a dozen hours of the entire history.
And the sheer hubris of Ridley Scott in trying to put it all in a 2 hour movie is insane.
I belive there is such a series on TH-cam. It's about 10 hours
@@TheGorgeramirez Do you mean the one by Historically Adequate? I'm watching it right now, it's great. It is 22 videos, only up to 1807. Personally I'm only up to video 12.
If you mean another one, I'd love to know.
@nikolatasev4948 no it is that one. I also recommend the book napoleon:a life. It's on audible
Just returning from Corsica visiting and they don't have fond memories of Napoleon, Joséphine never gave him an heir but his Polish wife did, they named him Alexandre! Love from Montreal!
I hope this is an impartial documentary that discusses not only Napoleons rise and fall but the political and social happenings in Europe at the time that lead to almost perpetual states of war during his reign.
For example England did not like a challenge to their position as the European superpower, monarchies concerned about the ideologies of republicanism (of which Napoléon was associated) etc.
There could have been peace if the monarchies weren’t so insistent on declaring war on France and Napoleon over and over.
Nope, only about him
Absolutely. Well, as Napoleon stated... the victors write the history. Or someone like that but I think it was him.
@ flintandball6093 very well stated. I hope so too.
@@ssgssbeet4133This is mentioned as early as four minutes in.
You used a lot of words to say nothing of substance at all. A better way to put that without sounding like a clown with an agenda is: "I hope this is an accurate documentary"
Just finished reading the book Napoleon the great. Was a great read! A very interesting historical figure.
I watched this year's ago and been looking for this documentary for years
This is awesome . Listening to this while coding at work . Really good stuff 🔥
Napoleon and Julius Caesar were truly the greatest men to have ever lived. Self made in a sense. Alexander was not only born in the purple (and as much about him is myth more than fact) but it also ignores that fact that his dad Philip of Macedon really laid the groundwork for him. And he essentially just went on one long campaign. Caesar and Napoleon did it all. General, statesman and someone that completely broke the mold.
Thats probably about right. You can argue adding Cyrus the Great, or even Gengis Kahn to that list, though you could also argue he's more in the Adolf categories of national leaders considering the far larger amount of people he killed with zero justification.
Jesus Christ was/is and will forever be The Greatest Human Being to have ever been born, walked the earth, lived. No one else comes close to his level of greatness. 👌
It seems there are battlefield historians who will/would agree with you, on both/any individuals you referenced.
@@mikem3789 Jesus Christ is a myth not a fact. Where is proof he was a saint
Fair enough mate (and as a Catholic I actually agree). But without trying to push an agenda on people that don’t believe what I do I felt it more appropriate to not bring up religious figures
Unfortunately Napoleon 2023 was not a great movie. Napoleon was a prodigy and one of very rare talent .Napoleon was a dark character who is known for his military genius but is shown as anything but in this disapointing take.2 parts is what it should have been.
Interestingly, a lot of visual fragments are taken from the 4-parts movie of Bondarchuk War and Peace
I look forward to Joaquin's version of Napoleon's life
First of all Napoleon was born on August 15th and not August 17th! I'm leery of a podcast that doesn't get basic facts correctly. As far as the movie goes, it was a 3 out of 5. Joaquin is an excellent actor, but he was way too old to play this part, and the movie did not do NB justice. If I hadnt knowledge beforehand, I wouldn't have learned much from the movie. Napoleon is fascinating. The movie is only okay.
Yeah, weird how they messed up the first important date/fact lol.
What did you think of the rest of this documentary though?
The movie has issues, Phoenix is too old to play a guy who first started to rise in his 20s. Also, they drastically misstated his relationship with Josephine.
Ok who bought his hat?
the movie sucks, don't waste your time. watch this documentary instead.
How can you have Napoleon without his humor and compassion and arrogance and skill and tallyrand, fouche, Callincourt , the greedy sisters, the incompetent brothers, the marshals, the revolutionaries, the terror , his years dreaming of being a liberator for Corsica, paoli’s rejection, Nelson, his brilliant efforts as an administrator including his work on the code, the admiration even his critics felt and the betrayal his admirers did.
Imagine being a teen during this. You can seriously change the steps of human evolution. Wild.
Well made video! Thank you.
After I watched a few reviews of the movie napoleon, I got a lot of these recommendations.
History hasn't happened until Dan Snow has done a TH-cam intro for it. After that, it is canon.
Preferably, without his usual jubilant Aspergian bouncing...
Movie was terrible. Ripley Scott did Napoleon dirty..
RIP
Napoleon Bonaparte
(1769-1821)
Scotts movie was an abomination and a terrible take on Napoleon.
He was a hero, enough said.
Kutusow realized Napoleons trap at Austerlitz! But thirsty for fame, unskillful and overconfident tsar Alexander took over the command! The legendary argument-Alexander to Kutusow: "Why do you not move the right wing?" Kutusow: "I would like to wait" Alexander: "This is not parade in Moscow!!" Kutusow(angry): "Exactly this is the reason I hesitate!!!" Maybe the conversation did not happened this way- but Kutusow never got over the defeat at Austerlitz! Sad that he to date barely receives the full credit as the brilliant military leader he was-he and Wellington were the only worthy opponents of Napoleon!
Amazing video. I got in love with his story, and now I can’t stop watching more
Thanks, for the explanation.
Excellent documentary. Captivating from beginning to end. Thank you. :)
It amazes me how quickly I spot my home town Greenwich in films.
Thanks!
I'm anxious to watch Ridley Scott's Napoleon. Napoleon has won more battles than any other military leader in history. Austeritz was his masterpiece and greatest victory. 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
Where are all the French Historians??
Documentary: Napoleon didn't acknowledge Davout for his efforts in beating the prussians at Auerstaedt to keep glory for himself.
Actual Napoleon: "Tell the Marshal (Davout) that he, his generals and his troops have gained everlasting claims on my gratitude.
Also actual Napoleon: awards Davout title of Duke of Auerstaedt and his corp the honour of leading the army into Berlin on October 25th.
The English propaganda machine has been printing non-stop since the new movie. They can't be frame as the bad guy who reinstated the tyrannical feodal monarchy, gotta make Napoleon look bad. The French dub of the movie is also very different from the VO. The VO being even more slanderous.
He did appreciate Davout’s victory but had to conceal that his Marsha l had won the greater success for propaganda reasons. But he failed to use Davout well in 1813 and at Waterloo when he was solely needed
Brilliant but, too many adds
I liked the movie dramatic-. Maybe more with his generals and military alliance
Great video!!!
To Royalists of Europe, they see Napoleon as just another Oliver!!!
Amazing!
Superb documentary, far better than the Ridley Scott film of 2023, in which a fine actor like Joaquin Phoenix just comes across as too wooden and stodgy, besides focusing more on the man's love life than the reasons for his rise and fall. Congrats for mentioning Portugal and Spain as the places where the Grande Armée's wheels began to come off big time before invading Russia. Eternally in your debt for posting this highly informative doc
It’s interesting. His boarding school experience being constantly taunted must have been instrumental in motivating him to become someone domineering
I just finished watching it and i can say that i feel so napoleonic
Maybe the focus on Josephine in the movie was a Hollywood imagining due to his last words.
Those are not even his last words. His real last words are "France, Mon fils, armée..." "France, My son, army...."
It was an informative and super wonderful historical coverage video about Napoleon Bonaparte rise & fall.thank you( 🙏 time line) channel for sharing
November 22 did a premiere in Dallas.
Not a great start with the mispronunciation of the Corsican capital Ajaccio within the first minute of the film...
Or the wrong birth date.
25:15 that sound effect caught me off gaurd xD
who is pumped for napoleon in imax
We need Napoleon back right now.
Interesting 🧐
I’m English but frankly I’d have fought on Napoleon’s side rather than the royalist establishment of Wellington as a working class man. Wellington certainly didn’t speak for me and my ilk.
Not a bad documentary.
It's sad that, at certain points in the video, the symphonies played in the background hadn't been written yet; Beethoven's V is playing while they're talking about the 1790's and he hadn't even begun writing it until 1804.. maybe a little thing but I noticed
We need more leaders like Napoleon in 2023.
The recommendation for Ridley Scott comes later than his old man tantrum he threw at the French; he told them "you don't know you weren't there!" and "f-you franchland" lol.
You know you have a good documentary when Dan Snow steals it.
Là Victoire Est à Nous 💔

No doubt one of the most influencial if not THE most influencial person of the modern world as we've known it over the past 200 years but is sadly widely known as a villain..."History is written by the victors"... Shaped social reform across the globe that had a lasting impact on us all forever.
Also gave is the ue print for our modern cities . Great reformer of.city planning.
The new movie did not capture the battles gloriously nor properly. But I do like a good documentary.
Napoleon had vast influence on humanity from naming child born at birth, streets, military strategy, politics and civil law systems. In the Philippines one can found millions of Filipinos named Napoleon at birth. His wars are studied at Philippine Military Academy. Later day Generals after him studied Napoleonic strategy. Legendary US Army General Douglas Macarthur's strategy, hero of three major global wars namely World Wars I, II and Korean War, was Napoleonic by the heavy use of artillery bombardment before infantry assault. Macarthurian strategy dictates US way things abroad it conducts war for thirty years. After WWII land bombardment is replace by aerial strikes to soften the target objective. Aerial strikes was heavily used by IDF to flattened Gaza strip in Israeli-Hamas War. The same Napoleonic tactics extends to the use of drones.
Napoleon was born 4 years after THE BEGINNING of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION - 1765 TO 1773 ~ and THE FRENCH revolution played a huge part
Great documentary! But the graphics is so poor -- is it from 90s?
If the average 'Joe' is even aware of dates, wars and battles he/she will tend to think of them in the abstract and never think of why they occurred and the political forces that caused them. This suits governments who wish to peddle a certain national historical narrative, again for political reasons. Clearly, it is the role of the historian to provide some rational behind the events of yesteryear, although we must be aware that some have a political agenda of their own to promote when we think of the likes of David Starkey and David Irving and as readers we cannot be immune from our own personal views and prejudices, so history is never devoid of controversy. How often does the average person think of the values each side would think was worth dying for and would they be tempted to change their allegiance if they discovered that if the 'enemy' had won they may have benefitted from a more equitable redistribution of wealth and a less hierarchical social order? I would suggest not many. More likely that they will take comfort in the fact that their side 'won' and use the notion to bolster their own sense of tribal patriotism. It is these ideas that governments will seek to reinforce or curtail through the national education system of which the more cerebral members of any society will be aware and temper their personal politics accordingly.
Well presented
Holy hades, this is gonna take a while to watch!
So informative ❤
В общем фильм вышел плохой,ни политика ни война а Жозефина и Наполеон ,вот так он должен был называться. А жаль, один из величайших людей в истории

It is Beethoven's Egmont ouverture, composed for Goethe's play about Egmont, who led a Dutch uprising against the Spaniards and was executed.
I did note that they act as if the first Italian campaign was the major French campaign when in fact it was a sideshow to help the big effort on the Rhine until Napoleon’s success was so spectacular abd the Rhine advance so slow that his campaign became the huge pr event. Also they fail to note Bonaparte had benn working on the Italian campaign plan as a staff officer in the topography office for a while before barras helped him get the command. This wasn’t some sudden gift of a political hack or a sudden throw of the dice that this young outsider general with a clever idea or two might pull it off, he was prepared and the officers of the army of Italy had some knowledge of him though no one else had dared to try it with the meager force at his command

Napoleon is the "best dressed" conqueror in history... I could follow you that far
A general or military man, endowed with superior understanding, who could read and prepare battles like none in his times. The title of emperor, as used in decadent Rome, shouldnt be applied to army leaders. Yet this was Buonapartes fall.
40:29 lol same bro
I'd watch it if anything would let me rent it lol
Guys, can you wait more than four minutes before you start having commercials?
Napoleon's ancestors were Albanian. His family named Kollgjeri migrated during the 14th century to Mani Peloponnes, Greece. Under the osmanic regime, they immigrated to Genova Italy and then to Corsica, France.

Yo this documentary is fire but why is there a wild ringing at 3:12:45
It’s interesting that an someone doing an interview would let someone mumble and not tell them to speak tf up
I’m here because of the movie!
How old is this documentary? Looks like it's from the early 2000's
ty dan
25:15 what's with the goofy sound effect 😂
Everywhere else says he was born on the 15th but this video says he was born on the 17th… is there dispute of his actual birthdate?
No we have his birth certificate in France. He was born the 15th of august 1769. He used his brother birth date in 1968 to reduce the gap between his age and Josephine's during the Marriage.
Please stop showing footages of Ridley Scott's Napoleon film. It gives off a bad impression that this documentary, too, may be inaccurate.
I see so many similarities between current American and France in the beginning of the movie
