Sergei Bondarchuk was a master director of the Napoleonic War epics.Eaterloo was his second, the first was the Russian version of War and Peace. Both movies give you the feeling as if you were actually there.
A little piece of real history for you. During the battle of Waterloo Henry William Paget Known as the Earl of Uxbridge sat on his horse beside Wellington when a stray cannonball took off the lower part of one leg. Uxbridge turned to Wellington and said. 'God sir I've lost a leg.' To which Wellington replied. 'By god sir so you have.' Now fast forward to that great pirate series called Black Sails and take a look at who played the part of Ann Bonny. No less a person than Lady Clara Paget a direct relative of Henry William Paget who became the 1st Marquis of Anglesey. We Brits get everywhere.
Another little snippet, Wellington wasn't keen on Uxbridge because he'd had a affair with Wellington's sister whilst he (Uxbridge) was already married.
@@PSDuck216 According to the ‘Royal Scots Dragoon Guards’ website they were renumbered as the 2nd Dragoons in 1713. I own two 2D Ds (Scots Greys) swords both used at Waterloo and marked ‘2D Ds’.
von Blücher is pronounced BLU-herr (like in Young Frankenstein) Ligny is pronounced LI-nee Charleroi is pronounced SHA-leh-wah Grouchy is pronounced GROO-shee Mont St Jean is pronounced Mohnt Sahn Zhon Hougoumont is pronounced U-goh-mohnt La Haye Saint is pronounced Lah Ay Sahn Otherwise, excellent and well-timed narration.
Prussians had blue uniforms not black. A color very similar to the French troops. Black was the color of Brunswick soldiers under command of the Duke of Brunswick a German vazal to the English king, The onlly english speaking people that can pronounce the name Blucher correctly are the Scottish; they have the correct G pronounciation ( sore throat G; as the Dutch and Germans have)
Italian film producer Dino De Laurentiis, Soviet film director Sergei Bondarchuk, all battle scenes were filmed in the former USSR (the Ukrainian territory). Napoleon and Louis XVIII are portrayed by the American actors, Wellington - the Canadian actor, Marshal Ney - the Irish actor, Marshal Soult - the Italian actor, Field marshal Blücher - the Soviet (Georgian) actor, Napoleon's aide-de-camp La Bédoyère - the French actor. All soldiers - the Soviet Army troops. So actually this is a brilliant international team, but the greatest contribution to this epic movie is Soviet.
Dear Author, your narration of this movie is perfectly accurate ❤, but your pronunciation of the French names (Grouchy, Ligny, Charleroi, Mont-Saint-Jean) is horrible. French words cannot be pronounced according to the rules of the English language!!! Nevertheless, I subscribed to your channel ❤
Thank you for your support, and thank you for understanding that some of the names in the dubbing may have grammatical errors. Thank you for your support.🤝🤝🤝🤝
Learn the correct pronunciations of Blucher (Blue-ker) and Grouchy (Grew-see). They're both rough phonetic approximations but would pass muster unlike the narrative.
@@Image-Memory It'd be less irritating if they weren't pronounced correctly in the film itself but they are, multiple times. All you have to do is watch the film and pronounce the names in the same way that they do.
It’s annoying how people say that this movie has a lot of extras when in reality their all probably tricks of the eyes and anyways the hell you belive their all real from such a distance
I'm not sure what you're getting on about. This film had more extras than Spartacus (1956). In Spartacus, filmed in Spain, they used two regiments from the Spanish Army and thousands of local folks. In Waterloo, the same was true but it was the Soviet Army that supplied the soldiers.
It was made long before CGI. The people as seen are all real as are the horses etc. Large numbers of them were Red Army Soldiers and it was filmed in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union.
@@2TrackMind-c6i the point is you can’t just believe that every person on screen or in the background is real how could you even tell if they are even real from how far away the camera is hell I even saw someone talk about the production behind this movie once I think I heard they used dummy’s for the distant camera shots
@@ryleeculla5570 Yes, they did use dummy props. There was no CGI back then and props were common in ALL films when background shots were done. Nothing odd about that. The same is true in Borodino. What about the epic naval battle in the original film Ben Hur? Do you object to the use of model ships? In the famous Roman attack scene in Spartacus, they used split screen to simulate the second wave of legions. It's the only way they had to produce the effects back then. props were used, so were thousands of extras. Done be so picky.

Yes, you Brits get everywhere all right, like a communicable disease.
It’s not the Scottish Grey Dragoons (an insult to flub the name), but they are the Royal Scots Greys.
To be accurate they were the Royal North British Dragoons.

2nd (Royal North British) Dragoons (Scots Greys)!
@TheWaterlooPodcast-ks4ox I have two swords in my collection marked ‘2D Ds’ and both used at Waterloo.
Another huge soviet movie set in the Napoleonic Wars, see Borodino. A monsterous production. I have a copy of it.
👍👍👍👍👍
La Victoire Est à Nous 💔
I visited the battlefield last year, it is Huge
For a Napoleonic battlefield it is actually very small. Just imagine 130,000 soldiers, horses and equipment crammed into that space!
von Blücher is pronounced BLU-herr (like in Young Frankenstein)
Ligny is pronounced LI-nee
Charleroi is pronounced SHA-leh-wah
Grouchy is pronounced GROO-shee
Mont St Jean is pronounced Mohnt Sahn Zhon
Hougoumont is pronounced U-goh-mohnt
La Haye Saint is pronounced Lah Ay Sahn
Otherwise, excellent and well-timed narration.
👍👍👍👍👍
The scene where he surrenders his life to the rival French troops is replicated in Legend Of the Galactic Heroes by the Imperial Emperor very well.
It's Ponsonby (the man with the snuff left to him by his father) not Uxbridge who is shown being killed by the French Lancers.
Sorry, the way the comments were laid out on my screen it looked like you were referring to the comments about Uxbridge (the one who loses his leg)
Wasn't Steiger too old for the role?
Question did Uxbridge wear the uniform of the 7th Light Dragoons ( Hussars) at waterloo ?
That seems to be the uniform he is typically depicted wearing at the battle - the 7th Queen's Own Hussars
@whiteknightcat Thank you 🍺👍
Dreadful pronunciation of well known British, French and Prussian names.
'The Scottish Greys.' Rofl Scots Greys ignorant person.
I would almost say it is a human (as opposed to an internet) voice. If it is human, then he really needs to learn to pronounce names better.
👍👍👍👍👍

It's the sound one actually makes when one attempts to "hawk tuah"
You mean between Napoleon and the New World Order
It's pronounced Grooshee (Grouchy) and Blooker (Blucher) . Dangit, man.
Well, sometimes the pronunciation may not be accurate, please understand.🤝🤝🤝

Didn’t you hear the narrator , they used 17.000 Russian soldiers as the troops of all armies , clever use of the camera and terrain 😊
first
👍👍👍👍👍
And??
