Never thought a barely 4-minute-long opening could get so many things wrong about one of the most well-known events in modern European history. For those who don't know, it is well documented that people at the execution of Marie-Antoinette were calm, grave, and solemn, unlike during her husband's execution. And Napoleon was obviously not here - he was not even serving in the military nor on the continent during most of that period. For anyone interested in the history of Revolutionary France (excluding the Napoleon part), I recommend a two-part movie made in 1989 for the 200th anniversary of the Revolution called 'The French Revolution: Years of Hope & Years of Rage.' It is much better and accurate than most recent (and foreign) depictions of that era.

Paris Olmpics brought me here.

"Military skills, leadership skills, diplomacy skills..."

OLYMPIC !

The revolution is here!!!!

*FunFact* France didn't stop using the Gullitine until 1977😳. Naturally Manchester United stopping Liverpool from winning the treble that very year. Put a stop to this 😏😉

Amazing and horrible scene 👌 However the commentary section is like 🤓

Came here from the Olympics lol

one of the most gratuitous and inaccurate depictions I’ve seen

1:30

All of France during Gojiras performance at the 24' Olympics

If Gojira was around in 1789 their version of Ah! Ca Ira! would have been playing here.

The French when you drink before clinking your glass with everyone at the table:

The revolution has started ...

Can ya spot a time traveler with cellphone there?

Whose here after gojira in the olympics opening ceremony

POV: You called 'Croissant' croissant instead of 'Kvasawng' in France

I have seen the name of the historian to whose research the “accuracy” of this opening scene is attributed. Were I he, I should create a disclaimer. Last night, I watched a film in which Buckingham Palace comes to us via green screen. Couldn’t “Napoléon” have done better with La Place de la Révolution? It took MA’s tumbril an hour to get there from the Conciergerie (which was not adorned with marble statuary). MA was close to her 38th birthday when she was executed, though we all understand that she’d certainly aged considerably beyond her years. She was ill, could not see well, had been through unimaginable horrors, and was in need of medical procedures unavailable in 1793. I am no monarchist, but I must object to the lack of dignity afforded this unfortunate lady here. I’m picking on things that most viewers will ignore. Nonetheless, Henri Sanson- the son of Charles-Henri Sanson - guillotined MA. Henri was not a dour or deliberately frightening older man, no offense to the actor who portrays him. Henri was the same age as Antoine Saint-Just; both were born in 1767. In the fall of 1793, Henri was in his mid-twenties. From what I have researched, a heavy cloth cord seems generally to have been used in tying victims’ wrists; there is a bundle of it allegedly extant, but don’t take that one to the bank. I’ve seen a photo, but such is by no means any sort of definitive “proof.” I need a lot more time in Paris! Like the unrealistic portrayals of MA and Henri Sanson, the guillotine herself is also misrepresented. A rusty, bloody blade? And I have no idea at all as to what’s being done with that lunette. As my late friend and email pal Hilary Mantel words a comment regarding whichever Sanson was in charge of an execution, “His was an honorable profession.” Let us respect that idea. I’m a longtime researcher, writer, and professor. And I’m distantly related to one or two revolutionaries who were busy from 1789 until the spring and summer of 1794. Perhaps I speak for them. But in this day of graphic novels brought to life by human actors, I honestly expected a much finer product from Mr. Scott, whose work I deeply admire.

Gojira brought me here

This song was chanted by the people of Paris during the French revolution when the monarchy was overthrown, and later on guillotined. It was sort of the the national anthem of the people when they revolted against King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates à la lanterne ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates, on les pendra ! V'la trois cents ans qu'ils nous promettent Qu'on va nous accorder du pain. ( Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ) V'là trois cents ans qu'ils donnent des fêtes Et qu'ils entretiennent des catins ! ( Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ) V'là trois cents ans qu'on nous écrase Assez de mensonges et de phrases ! (Ça ira) On ne veut plus mourir de faim ! (mourir de faim) Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates à la lanterne ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates, on les pendra ! Voilà trois cents ans qu'ils font la guerre Au son des fifres et des tambours ( Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ) En nous laissant crever de misère. Ça ne pouvait pas durer toujours... ( Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ) Voilà trois cent ans qu'ils prennent nos hommes Qu'ils nous traitent comme des bêtes de somme. (Ca ira) Ça ne pouvait pas durer toujours ! (durer toujours) Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates à la lanterne ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates, on les pendra ! Le châtiment pour vous s'apprête Car le peuple reprend ses droits. ( Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ) Vous vous êtes bien payé nos têtes, C'en est fini, messieurs les rois ! ( Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ) Il faut plus compter sur les nôtres : On va s'offrir maintenant les vôtres, Car c'est nous qui faisons la loi ! (qui faisons la loi) Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates à la lanterne ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates, on les pendra ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates à la lanterne ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates, on les pendra ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates à la lanterne ! Ah! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Ça ira ! Les aristocrates, on les pendraaaaaaaaa !!!!! In English: Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats to the lantern Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats we will hang them! It's been three hundred years they promise us That we will be allowed some bread. It's been three hundred years that they throw parties. And they maintain their whores It's been three hundred years that they crush us Enough lies and phrases! We do not want to starve to death anymore !!! Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats to the lantern Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats we will hang them! For three hundred years they make war To the sound of fifes and drums Leaving us to die of misery. It could not last forever. It's been three hundred years that they take our men that they treat us like beasts of burden. It could not last forever! Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats to the lantern. Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats we will hang them! The punishment for you is near, Because the people reasserts itself. You're took us for fools long enough It's over, gentlemen kings! You must not rely on our own people anymore We will now take you people. Because it is we who make the law! Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats to the lantern Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats we will hang them! Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats to the lantern Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats we will hang them! Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats to the lantern Ah! It will be fine! It will be fine! It will be fine! The aristocrats we will hang THEM!

01:35 Ludivine Sagnier was also in the Napoleon miniseries from about 20 years ago. Which is way better and far more historically accurate then this😏😉

I know it's acting. But couldn't throw cast *different* actors. To play Bonaparte at different stages in his life??. Plus *couldn't* they got an actual French actors to play those parts???

Due to recent events my mind came to this scene

Its a fucking movie not a historical accurate documentary 😂

3:28 Napoleon Bonaparte

هذا موقف وتصرف احكام دوله وقانون لو سلوك شوارع وانعدام قيم

3:19 have her wink one of her eyes and stick her tongue out at the crowd🤪and maybe try spitting at them.😆😂

The music literally ruined the scene

This is awesome thanks for uploading this!

En Paraguay hace falta cortar el sistema.

Imagine making a movie based on one of the most important events and individuals in human history and somehow managing to get like 95% of it wrong. Did the historical advisors for this movie just not get involved or did they lie on their resumes?

shoulda coulda woulda been a good movie but it just isnt

Its really cool activating the checkpoint at every start to get a nice ambient music while stocking up

The opening scene started with the song of Edith Piaf, a singer born in 1915, that to me was the first clue, that the movie wasn't to be taken too seriously

ラッセイラッセイラッセイラー なんて言ってるかわからんけど野菜が踊ってるようなイメージの曲

Aisa kyun total destruction se kya hoga , mujhe agar release kar dogi to waise bhi main baat karane wapas se nahi jane wala tum se 🙏🙏🙏. Mujhe clear picture batao 🙏🙏

I know that Marie Antoinette had her flaws, but seriously no person deserves to die that way.

Aspirational approach to dealing with the aristocracy.

This is a movie, it's entertainment, and it served it's purpose. I'm not gonna bitch about historical inaccuracies, because I wasn't there, but if anyone was, please, I'm all ears.

I hate being able to relate to this episode

All you history experts have never had to make a movie.

SO FRENCH was ISIS about 250 years ago and the world now has issues with ISIS...ummm what a great irony!!

it is a good way to start the movie but lets be honest this movie was TERRIBLY innacurate.

Totally failed film, unfortunately....................

Vive la Reine, Vive le Roi 👑👑❤

What music anthem is that brutal anthem guillotine anthem?

I like movies that save the title for last in the opening credits.

When filmmakers make historical epic features, they often don’t make actions or events accurately.

1. Marie Antoinette wore a white dress. 2. Her hair was cut short. 3. She had on a white cap 4. She was placed on a board to restrain her with her hands bound. 5. And Finally!! She apologized for stepping on the executioners foot. And he replied to her "Show courage madame" The director of this film didn't do much research.
