Lol another reason for that is when you’re carrying a dead body out of the house its gonna face the door in a laying down position. The same position when you sleep
she was checking if they were all loaded, they were which meant that somebody loaded them all possibly knowing that she plays that game and knowing it would be an easy thing to get away with
@hanksussyschrader I know what she was doing, but it's still funny that she's shooting a wooden floor on what's likely the second story of the building. It's just hilariously unsafe.
In Russian roulette one bullet will be in the gun and due to gravity it will always come and settle down. So the person cannot shoot themselves with it. It's just a way to test if the person is a spy or not . The person has to offer to shoot themselves to prove
sorry in advance if your comment was sarcasm but i don’t think she was broken after killing the guy. more like shocked because it actually hit her that she would be dead if she didn’t shoot him. i think that’s why she smiled after (i have never seen this movie and don’t know who it’s about)
@@brcsephina I think that’s what op meant- not broken over the guy who died, but the realization for herself. Never watched either lol but according to other comments she was already in a low point when she was doing this so makes sense
Im not sure, I took it more as one of those situations where when someone is very suicidal, but the moment the jump off the bridge, or kick the chair, they instantly regret it, and those that survive, like the rope breaking or just not drowning, end up completely having a different view of life. And I think that was expressed with her happily greeting her husband in the photo
By trying to kill her, the assassin saved her life from the game & the game saved her life from the assassin. Meaning, if she didn’t have a loaded gun in her hand about to play Russian roulette, then the assassin would have been able to shoot her. But if assassin didn’t come to kill her, she would have shot herself. So the two deadly forces canceled each other out.
So there's no confusion - Catherine the Great didn't actually invent Russian Roulette. Nobody knows who invented it, but my best guess is that it was made up for a novel and then became kind of a real thing from that.
@@staomruel It was done, but other 'games' were more common, like forcing POWs to go through minefields or having them run away and using them for target practice. War is full of terrible things like this.
@Antonio-Gransci It's stupid and reckless enough to be typically Russian.

Ehhh doubt that the Russians would build an old palace like Americans build their modern houses, back then things like bricks and stones were in fashion to make walls out of
That is such a complex emotional twist man! Imagine having set up a game years ago from poor mental health, a degree of deniability for your unaliving thoughts, an all or nothing adrenaline rush for when you "need" it. And imagine you go to follow through, about pop yourself in the dome unknowingly. If it had happened, it would have been an betrayal of god, or just a brutal reality brought by her own hand, either one a valid interpretation. But imagine that complexity in the moment, feeling like it's time to put it all on the line, someone tries to take your life instead of your choice, so you take the chance to shoot back and the bullet meant for you to fulfill the purpose you sent into motion during times of mental illness, turns out to be your salvation. Thrilling. Then finding out shortly after that someone loaded them all that day.
So she went back to her previous game, the one prior to the attempt on her life. She initially plays, shoots the man and thinks that it's the loaded one of the three. She realizes that she picked the loaded one, we see her thoughts work as she connects that she would have died if she actually shot, then gets to realize she grew afraid for her life being taken and then the gun in her hand was the gun that would have also killed her. Russian Roulette is meant to only have one gun loaded, as she says and as we see in this very video, as she survives. After the "Mess" is cleaned up, she returns to her desk, finding the remaining two guns and fires them. They both fire, which means they're loaded. The person responsible for loading them, if it's an assigned role, loaded all three guns to fire. Regardless if you want to argue we only saw the gunpowder flash, that flash would still have killed her, so regardless, someone primed each pistol for her Russian Roulette game to fire. IF they are all able to be fired, it's someone taking abuse of the game to get her to kill herself. Had the assassin waited two minutes longer, she would have been the victim of someone else's plot. She doesn't need to mention it, because we as the observers should be there with her as she clearly does the math, giving us a chance to pause and consider the events unfolding too. And if you've binged the series, you see people trying to kill her and others aaaaall along the trip, so what's yet another attempt among many?
I only realized afterward the 3 charged pistol at the end was planned by Ant Elizabeth to kill Catherine... I explain myself. 1) she knew about the new Russian bullet game of Catherine 2) Catherine asks the Royal Guards to charged the gun 3) soon after Ant E show Catherine that the Royal Gards are more loyal to her (they redused to obey C because A.E told them so) 4) FINALLY A.E is *suprised* to see C after she sat on the chair I belive because she thought C had already killed herself after she loaded all the guns. And that why she guve back the chair I think my theory works. But nobody talked about it in the comment
Same issue as in Death of Stalin. Yes actual Russians would be better but it's a British show. Would you rather English people failing at Russian accents or speaking normally and with a tone more befitting their role?
Even if it's a movie and not a show, Schindler's List comes really close to what happens when someone takes a bullet to the head. Look for the forced labor camp construction scene where an engineer is executed for arguing with the Nazis. I've (unfortunately) seen countless videos of executions over some 20 years on the internet and that bit during the scene was frighteningly realistic since the actress that portrayed the engineer was an actual gymnast. She falls down exactly like people do in real life, like a robot that suddenly ran out of battery and just slumps to the ground. The only thing avoiding her folding up like a pretzel are the tendons and joints that can't fold in ways they aren't designed for, even using residual energy stored in the muscles to bounce back up a little bit like I've seen some people do. Even the way the blood shoots out of her head looked like it was real, I'm absolutely sure that whoever was in charge on that set watched some of the same videos I did to use as reference for the way she reacted when shot.
@@kvassinc These are flintlocks, they don't have percussion caps. You can see the flints in the jaws. The weird thing is the flints didn't produce any sparks at all.
Turns out all the guns were loaded at the end... Maybe a different assassin saw she was playing a death game, and decided to try and be smart. Only he ended up helping her.
It's been 10 months already, I was curious if this would have been the same video when I decided to watch it. I have since watched more episodes and have noticed a trend with assassination attempts, which changes the context of the last comment i left. I love how the fact they were all loaded was a design of a plot. It adds to my delight when I consider the fact that two assassination attempts happened at the same time, saving her life. That's the funniest darkest shit ever
"Blyat! What the fuck is that!?" "Moy droog, Catherine tries to kill herself again." "Ayy blyat I survived Chesma, hope for peaceful guard post in the palace and some psycho cyka shooting off in the middle of the night!"
Considering those are flint lock pistols. You'd visually see which one didn't have a flint. The first two pistols didn't even hit a flint spark. But every other one did have a flint spark when it fired.
If there is a 4th season, it would be funny if Marie Antoinette and Louis 16 would come to Catherine, who could escape from revolutionary France =) Toinette would start throwing all sorts of parties that Catherine doesn’t really like :)
Correct me if I'm wrong,, But since the only weapons that did NOT fire were the ones she put to her head. Which later fired when aimed elsewhere. IF all the pistols were always loaded and primed, GOD didn't want her dead, so they didn't fire. Ergo she proved to herself that she was Empress by Lus Divinum, Divine Right.
1:14 so much to unpack there. Had he not come to kill her, she’d be dead. Had she picked an unloaded gun, she’d survive the game, but would be dead from the killer. This is such a simple scene but evokes such deep thought lol. Cause and effort is truly a wild thing sometimes.
Roulette="little wheel". Russian Roulette is played with a revolver because you can spin the chamber (i.e. little wheel). What she's playing here is not Russian Roulette. It's just a deadly game of chance with three single shot black powder pistols. The "roulette" part is key in Russian Roulette! You play it with one revolver and spin the chamber and pass it round and spin the chamber before pulling the trigger. What shes playing doesn't make sense if she's the one loading the ammo since they are single shot...she would know which gun has the ammo (assuming she was the one who loaded it) and defeats the purpose of luck altogether. Playing real Russian Roulette randomizes the chance every time the chamber is spun.
@@toffee1234100 Nope. If you load the guns and they arent *exactly* identical you will always know. And guns in this era was deffinetly not identical even if they were brand new. Not to mention in this scene we even see they are not even the overal same design
it's still Russian Roulette if you're not the one that loaded the one gun and didn't see which one was loaded. It doesn't matter if a revolver was used. The only difference is in her case she had a 33% chance of shooting herself and with a revolver, you have a 17% chance.
Terrible idea to point at the temple. Very good way of potentially surviving whilst blinding oneself and causing brain damage. Though typically, it'll just be a lot more slow and painful.
@@shruu1056 yeah, this is the moment that she realizes its not fate, its literally dumb luck that can be manipulated by anyone around her and that she needs to take control of her own life. Thats why in the end of the season she says “destiny didn’t make it, I did.” She was the one who rose to power and she is the one who is going to bring change, she is not going to let destiny do it all for her.
She does Russian roulette to test fate, she has the guards put 3 guns on the table but only one is unloaded. if she chooses the gun loaded and dies then it shows she just wasn’t meant to rule Russia (her whole thing is that she thinks being empress was her fate). So that time where she laughed was because earlier that day as she was putting one of the guns she chose to her head and was about to pull the trigger someone busts in the room trying to kill her so she instinctively shoots and kills that man with the gun she just had to her own head and just stands shocked that the gun was actually loaded. The reason she laughed here was cuz when she tries the other two guns later that day they’re both loaded. she realizes someone (probably the guards) rigged the guns for all of them to be loaded knowing she plays the game and it was yet another assassination attempt. This is funny because when only one gun isn’t loaded she always picked the unloaded gun, when all 3 are loaded she gets lucky and just kills yet another assassin with it while dodging a completely different assassination attempt, making viewers wonder if it really was Catherine’s fate to rule Russia.
can someone pls explain to me if someone loaded all 3 guns in an attempt to make sure she died? and if so, who? i havent watched the series so i dont have any info !!
I mean, it wouldnt really work with these guns since in order to shoot the gun you needed gunpowder on the flap up top (i have no clue what its called) so when it comes smashing down it makes a spark, which ignites the powder inside, which fires the gun. If one of them was loaded, then the one with powder on the metal flap would be the one you dont want to choose.
you would then, power all the pans but only charge one gun with powder and ball in the barrel?? It's a simple concept. The pan is powdered after the gun is charged.
@@redrasegarden Catherine didn’t actually invent this in real life but in the show she basically does. The show is historically inaccurate on purpose for funsies
Imagine if the assassin would have been just 10 seconds later.
"Die bitc-.... oh...."
He probably would have pulled a John Wick and fired a bullet into her head anyway so that it could be proven that he'd done his job lol

watching this clip on youtube made me watch the show and i'm really glad i did, it's quite the ride. brilliant performance by elle
That assassin scene goes hard, and I've never even seen this movie
It turns out it was just an innocent prank with his husband.
In just waiting for Fanning to put on her stitched Catwoman costume
bro is fuming in the afterlife knowing he didnt even have to try to kill her
With a name like roulette i was expecting a revolver
Maybe she just looked in the pan and didn't see any gunpowder there? This shit is fucking ridiculous 😂
This is where you wonder where all of the guards are.
why does she laugh at the end
Because she knows that someone else knows she is playing the game and that someone loaded both pistols to assassinate her. that's my best guess
Or the universe is having a laugh, and guns only shoot when they aren't pointed at her...
@@shruu1056 yeah, this is the moment that she realizes its not fate, its literally dumb luck that can be manipulated by anyone around her and that she needs to take control of her own life. Thats why in the end of the season she says “destiny didn’t make it, I did.” She was the one who rose to power and she is the one who is going to bring change, she is not going to let destiny do it all for her.
She does Russian roulette to test fate, she has the guards put 3 guns on the table but only one is unloaded. if she chooses the gun loaded and dies then it shows she just wasn’t meant to rule Russia (her whole thing is that she thinks being empress was her fate). So that time where she laughed was because earlier that day as she was putting one of the guns she chose to her head and was about to pull the trigger someone busts in the room trying to kill her so she instinctively shoots and kills that man with the gun she just had to her own head and just stands shocked that the gun was actually loaded. The reason she laughed here was cuz when she tries the other two guns later that day they’re both loaded. she realizes someone (probably the guards) rigged the guns for all of them to be loaded knowing she plays the game and it was yet another assassination attempt. This is funny because when only one gun isn’t loaded she always picked the unloaded gun, when all 3 are loaded she gets lucky and just kills yet another assassin with it while dodging a completely different assassination attempt, making viewers wonder if it really was Catherine’s fate to rule Russia.
Who keeps setting the pistols on the desk for her to play the game repeatedly like this?
Thank you. Someone wondering who's loading them and leaving them there besides me.
This is just Kakegurui but in the old era ☠️
you mean kakegurui is this in the modern era lol
@@oddity404 huh
@@medardaslocalcuisine2331 i just reversed the order lol cause russian roulette came first. silly joke my bad
I thought at first Michelle Pfeifer was playing the character. Elle looks stunningly pretty similar to her here.
can someone pls explain to me if someone loaded all 3 guns in an attempt to make sure she died?
and if so, who? i havent watched the series so i dont have any info !!
Wait I thought the Vietnamese people made Russian rulette
I mean, it wouldnt really work with these guns since in order to shoot the gun you needed gunpowder on the flap up top (i have no clue what its called) so when it comes smashing down it makes a spark, which ignites the powder inside, which fires the gun. If one of them was loaded, then the one with powder on the metal flap would be the one you dont want to choose.
you would then, power all the pans but only charge one gun with powder and ball in the barrel?? It's a simple concept.
The pan is powdered after the gun is charged.
I like how in the end all three pistol were loaded hahahahah
"Free Pandora from the angel accusations she's a batshit crazy scientist" Yeah I see that now
Такие люди никогда не будут рисковать так своей жизнью, они очень трусливые и боятся потерять всё. :)
1:25 😟.😒.😏.😼
What show is this?

0:59 She almost lose the game.(died)
My friends made applesauce Russian roulette and I have died twice
Best game EVER
The odds are always stacked in the player's favor: one can win a thousand times... and only lose once.
Love that
Funny they did the same thing to Goku in dragon ball z, She shot herself! 🤣🤣🤣
The servant in the next room was just shot
Wait I thought this came from a movie.

@@redrasegarden Catherine didn’t actually invent this in real life but in the show she basically does. The show is historically inaccurate on purpose for funsies
@@paseykilo5788 so I hear. It was just one of those “not totally impossible” moments
she kinda slays
That was a clean headshot, nice
mad woman. medication much needed, not even interesting 😂

Do yourself a favor and don't hang around with people like that!
