@@chamade166 nice virtue signaling lol. However you have a serious point, he was pro-slavery and a mass murderer. Did you know slavery was legal in Saudi Arabia until 1961? The Arab slave trade was significantly larger than the European one.

​@@LibertarianRFhe wasn't really pro slavery, he kept it in place for economic reasons. And he is no more a mass murderer than Wellington or Alexander 1st of Russia or François 1st of Austria 🤷

@@Lafence personally, I'd argue that the man who plunged Europe into war for a good decade or two, is much more of a mass murderer, than a general of an opposing country (Wellington, that is).

Oppenheimer is not a good historical film. It couldn't be further from the truth. It's a shitty production that perpetuates the lie that the New Mexico area where they dropped the bomb was desolate when the truth is they dropped the bomb on Hispanos people's heads, stole their land, gave them cancer, sunk them in systemic poverty and destroyed their lives for generations to come until today. All the while centering a white genocidal character as this 'complex tortured genius' portraying it as 'nuance'. Time to wake up and become aware of the ignorance.

Any movie about those two must include their sister who translated the German math book they used to build their plane into English. The three of them were quiet the trio.

Napoleon was everything in military but strategist. He was only good at tactics.

Isn't that the same thing? @@antoinemozart243

@@antoinemozart243 that's extraordinarily ignorant. Napolean was a brilliant strategist. He caught many armies in a trap or in a one-sided slaughter because of his strategies and his reorganization of the French army that allowed it to move much more quickly then anyone could prepare for. It Helped him immensely. The battle of Auschwitz ended with French victory because of speed.

Exactly. Making a two or three hours movie forces Scott to make decisive battles look like music clips. Which makes the depiction of Austerlitz for example a complete joke - historically absolutely incorrect, looking like 'Vikings with muskets'... A shame.

Of course trailers are going to focus on action

We will have to wait and see. I hope they capture the patina that Josephine left upon the Imperial Guard and how it affected them after Napoleon abandoned her. Lots of other little things. We just have to wait tho

Movie in general seems to be packed with soooo many things, Napoleon was definitiely a larger than life guy and packing his entire story from general to emperor in one movie will be really difficult

Hopefully they're actually historical and not "Cleopatra'd". But I totally agree. History has some of the absolute best stories. Much prefer this to another color by numbers Super Hero flick.

Absolutely feel the same

Yup gotta love it. I hope Napoleon and Oppenheimer KILL at the box office. If people had better taste we'd get more of this instead an endless string of superhero movies. Marvel was fun up through Avengers Endgame but I've had enough.

historical films needs to be more read and studied then improve on a film versions

Catholic Terrorist, Criminal war, Criminal against Humanity, rapist, thief, tramp, racist, despicable, tyrant, filthy, vile, misogyny, dishonorable, traitor to conventions ... this is the real about fu*** Napoleon.

There's always the 330 minute 1927 silent version by Abel Gance

This looks amazing. So here's hoping Hollywood didn't take the liberty to make Napoleon nonbinary and secretly in love with a transgender five year old. Hey, one can hope!

3 hours is enough for his opus, Austrerlitz.

He was a man that deserted his Army in Russia during the retreat from Moscow in 1812 . And again at Waterloo in 1815 , to save his own skin . In truth a tyrant and a coward .

@@michaelharris2002 keep watching CNN

Catholic Terrorist, Criminal war, Criminal against Humanity, rapist, thief, tramp, racist, despicable, tyrant, filthy, vile, misogyny, dishonorable, traitor to conventions ... this is the real about fu*** Napoleon.

There's no way this will be anywhere close to Waterloo or War & Peace. The battles will probably be a bland CGI fest and inauthentic. It won't have as good visuals anyway because (in my opinion) of that bloody camera filter they keep using which makes everything look bleak & unsaturated - there's more ways to make things look gritty & dark. Others have also pointed out that this portrayal of Napoleon seems too unemotional, or perhaps a bit grumpy. I'm guessing that the film itself will similarly take an overall oppressive & dark tone. Rod Steiger's performance in Waterloo was fantastic, showing the energy and charisma that Napoleon had. Also the actors in that spoke like normal people would, not in the loud whispers that are rife in this trailer.

@@spacebeam6480 Yes I loved Rod Steiger's performance in Waterloo can just imagine his glorious speeches on the eve of battle, also highlights how his Old Guard must have loved him

its Ridley Scott who made it, so yeah we shouldn't expect accuracy at all, 1492 and kingdom of heaven is entertaining but not accurate at all lol

R2-D2 is gonna be in it!

Ridley Scott is great (The Martian, Gladiator, etc.), but hopefully it's a little more history and a little less romance than the trailer seems to show. No one cares about Josephine.

@@atgdcommish608 I hope it’s Chris Hemsworth and not Pedro Pascal to play the protagonist in Gladiator 2 (not because he is a bad actor, I love him, but I don’t think he fits the role)

You're right. Napoleon never fired at the pyramids.

Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs up. Rolling Stone calls it "an edge of your seat thriller!". The New York Times says, "It's the blockbuster of the century!"

You are mentally unwell aren't you, kid. @@readdiejaytone8870

If you don't care about historic accuracy, go ahead. Epic pictures, wrong content. This movie ignores historical events just for making good pictures. Napoleon is again and again shown at events where he simply never has been. And that's just one part - even by the trailers, I could make an hour long video about all the errors and misinterpretations.

I agree, but that would be really pricey, like Game of Thrones pricey. I just have to say fantasy is easier to sell today than historical epics, I say that as a history buff who would want nothing more than this to be amazing.

@@christopherrowe7860 I always loved history, I hope one day they make a movie about Rome's greatest enemy and his namesake Abram Gannibal.

I don't. As soon as it showed any promise of success, the story would be changed to suit "modern audiences" and would become a dumpster fire, dumpsters full of used diapers.

My only misgiving is he's too old. He's about the right age for Waterloo but when he met Josephine he was only in his mid 20's. In those scenes, he looks well into his 40's.

At last, a blade runner who runs blades.

Dude. This guy almost took Europe. They beat him back and exiled him to an island. He Escaped. He gathered a small force and as he made his way inland, the European force stationed to keep one man in prison on an island came to confront him and kill him, or send him back. But instead he convinced them to join him- and they did. And they returned to try and take Europe again. There are only a couple of speeches that had such a huge impact like that. Imagine every person is armed and ordered to kill or capture you- and he turned them all, all at one time. One speech, Alexander the Great & The Opis Mutiny (youtube it), was recorded. Napoleon's was not. But even if he didn't have to say much, to turn thousands to his side, is still amazing. Only a handful of people in history had this command of presence and influence. If we had another one like this, and just as smart or smarter, we'd be f#!$%d Joaquin is most definitely going to crush it, agree 100.

@@dammitanothername until he met wellington and the British army for the first time. the dude was a twat

⁠@@dammitanothernameok my guy you’re being a tad dramatic. The “European force” that was sent to stop Napoleon was a bunch of FRENCH troops, sent by an unpopular French king. It ain’t like it was a bunch of Brits and Prussians that decided to turncoat and join Napoleon. Also gotta remember, the coalition reinstalled a Bourbon as the King of France after exiling Napoleon which was … not a popular move among the French to say the least. Napoleon’s popularity with the troops was always one of his calling cards. Given the situation, it honestly would have been more surprising if the troops had actually arrested Napoleon than it is that they joined him.

​@@dammitanothername He did take Europe, except Britain. Probably the most consequential life terms of the effects of his decisions,, on the model world. He is the reason that Germany and Italy were able to form. Without his epic failure bankruptcy and fall from grace of the French military and economy in the next century, by comparison to previous centuries, there is no chance that These countries would have been formed out of the Organised Chaos that was the Holy Roman Empire. Even in our timeline, when France was a shadow of its former self, In the 19th century, it still became the 2nd country to industrialise behind Britain, so if it had remained a diplomatic, economic and military power house in that century, it would have forced A lot of ifs Will on the rest of "continental "Europe, just like it did in previous centuries.France was practising divide and conquer tactics throughout its history, just like Britain, and eventually the USA

Napoleon was a huge fan of the Roman political and military structure. He copied the Roman legions (his army was divided in a similar way in cores) he copied their banners (the eagle) he copied the title "emperor" and of course he copied their clothing and headdress during the coronation ceremony.
