- WATERLOO - 1970 - FAN CUT in Full HD
Read the background to this magnificent movie in WATERLOO-MAKING AN EPIC by Simon Lewis. Available on Amazon in print and E-Book.
Check out / waterloo1970 .
This full HD version has been sped corrected to 24fps. Using stills and exerts from the script to indicate four short scenes that never made the final cut of the film.
Some notes
Scene 1. The battle of Ligny. Looking at the script, the french army marching past the windmill used later in the film, looks like it was meant to be used as the battle of Ligny. Blucher is on the march! The Prussian cavalry charge used later in the film was almost certainly meant to be used earlier. In the film the images are ‘flopped’ so the charge goes from left to right, to maintain screen direction. In the battle scenes the french generally attack right to left and the allies left to right. This is good film direction. The scenes were almost certainly moved later to beef up the Prussians arriving at the end of the battle. In the Fan cut the ‘corrected’ charge then goes to a still of Blucher unhorsed. This explains why he is wounded a few scenes later.
Scene. 2. Wellington and Mercer discuss why his guns are aimed at a hollow in the ground. This explains why the french horses appear to fall over a crevasse in the next scene.
Scene. 3. In the script a messenger rides to tell Napoleon that the farm house has fallen, then promptly dies. These pictures appear to be that scene. Certainly Napoleon looks very similar in the next scene.
Scene 4. Wellington and Blucher meet. Cutting this scene into the film it was very obvious why it was cut. The triumphalism seems at odds with the sombre mood created in the finished scene. That said it does payoff the narrative of Napoleon nemesis.
whos here to find some comfort after being utterly disappointed by the new movie?
I doubt we will ever see movies such as this ever again unfortunately.
I'm Italian, I'm proud we produced such a gem. God bless de Laurentiis
Me.
Napoleon and Aurelian are my top choices for a historical miniseries. Incredible glory and tragedy. Kinda crazy that Alexander and Hannibal haven't gotten a big budget miniseries.
I'm here for Rod, he comfort me and warm me up after the nothingness of Joaquin's acting.
"I did not usurp the crown. I found it lying in the gutter and pick it up with my sword. And the people placed it upon my head!" Killer quote!
The Crown from the Gutter quote was used irl again during the German nationalism. It's an interesting story.
at least he was honest about it
@@aindoria Tell me about something they didn't take from someone else. The Roman eagle, Roman salute, cult of personality, etc
I have never forgotten that part of the movie it was great. Rod Steiger from Chief Gillespie to Napoleon, only could have done that.
30:47 is the quote
Just saw the Riddley Scott's movie .....I can say Waterloo is still the best Napoleon movie ever made.
That was my conclusion as well.
Easily. i think even the 2002 mini series with Hinds is better than the new movie.
Rod Steiger's portrayal of Napoleon was beyond brilliant. A truly great talent. The director was a master.
one could believe that Rod was Napoleon reincarnated ... as well Plummer was brilliant, providing just enough "flake" to justify his role ... Bless them both !!!
Personally, I don't agree. It doesn't really represent the person Napoleon was. In this film, it almost looks like a crazy madman. The emperor had his moments of anger, but he was still a thoughtful man.
@@Intleachtuil_1er No offense but nobody alive today can really accurately describe Napoleon's true personality. Steiger's performance is probably pretty accurate considering Napoleon was not a well man in 1815. Even in the opening scene in ”Waterloo” we see a Napoleon in 1814; defeated, unshaven, depressed and exhausted. Not only was he involved in numerous bloody battles…Napoleon was desperate, aging and suffering from a number of painful physical ailments. No doubt, severe anxiety and lack of sleep was also taking a physical toll on Napoleon more and more as time went on. The disastrous Russian campaign had to be the beginning of Napoleon’s decline both mentally and physically. As a result, his moods had to be quite flux. Bad moods and fits of anger were probably more common than in Napoleon's heyday of Austerlitz and Wagram. Rod Steiger, being around the same age as Napoleon in 1815, had always brought a certain high level of energy to his roles and I believe he did Napoleon a great justice by portraying the man as a human being; not some regal portrait in a fancy painting.
A critic called it an "unusual interpretation" which is what I thought when I saw the trailer for "Napoleon" starring Joachin Phoenix. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to see it, but mostly because I think it will be cool to see most of the battles on the big screen for the first time ever, like that scene from the Battle of Eylau. I guess everyone's interpretation is different when it comes to the character. I thought the show with John Malkovich was an awful version of Napoleon.
@@kingjoe3rd"The show with John Malkovich" is better than this movie. People only like this movie because of the battle scenes not the history which lacks a lot of things. Didnt show him writing to his wife and son for exemple. Its Napoleon for exportation.
I saw this movie at least 25 times since I first saw it in 1970 I have never grown tired it, and still enjoy it to this day.
I remember seeing this movie a few months ago, maybe I'd give it a try before the new Napoleon
10 out of 10. One of the best war movies ever.
Truth Jones it’s beautiful
No its not its infinite/10 xD
I recently saw a list of the best 100 and sadly didn’t make the list.
Devin S seriously? That is one messed up list.
calihartley2010 I just think American audiences havent seen this movie sadly probably my 2nd favorite war film
Thousands of extras, no CGI, great dialogue. I wish more films were like this.
A great thing about the dialogue is that much of it was taken from actual quotes of the men at the time.
@saltjunkie77 I love Gettysburg, one of my favorite films. Randy Edelman's score is top tier
CGI is terrible in almost every instance. I don't even watch modern stuff anymore because I find it so trashy and cheap.
E😊
Those days are gone.
Before CGI, before green screens, there was the Soviet army...
The Reds!
The greatest army aside from gods
Before CGI there was the KGB
Can’t beat that Russian 🐻
The Christian Socialist nah
I'm 8 min and 52 seconds into this film and nothing Hollywood has put out in recent memory gives me the sense of gravity and depth I have tasted so far. I am not a huge movie buff but this is such *magnificent* acting!!!
You clearly are a rare man, loyal and true, will you join me I need you

As a French. Proud that we have Napoleon.

@@infinitecanadian Constitutional emperor. If you think Napoleon was a dictator, then all other European powers were also dictatorships, Russia and Prussia being the most strong ones.
It always feels so weird that I know the result of the battle, yet I always desperately root for the French. The cav charging into the squares and Old Guard being decimated is so hard to watch. What a fantastic depiction, this movie is!
PeenPlays
Same thing for me :)
same for me, I watched for the first time and yelling WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!! the cavalry charge into the square formation is a cinematic masterpiece but so hard to watch :(
@@royelie86everybody in the room was like ' yo the brits are done' .. but if you've played Napoleon Total War..you are saying the same exact thing as Napoleon said when he woke up. "How could you send a cavalry charge without infantry to support them"
I was like ' I know Napoleon, such noobs they are... '
Napoleon throws the Old guard in at the end.
'NAPOLEON , NO!!!..he's got Snipers(light infantry) next to the house..'.
British general is happy to see the Prussians, everybody in the room is like ' That's a wrap Napoleon'.
ME : ' The Prussians have 6 morale.. and 55 accuracy, they really aren't going to do much. If it was the ottoman Jannisery swordsman, okay but the Prussians pff... '.
@steve hammond Ney should have hired some Jannisary swordsman to support the Cav...
I have fun rooting on the English and the Germans.
"He who saves a nation violates no law." So many great quotes. I owe you one. That was outstanding.
58:20 "This man knows how to defend a hopeless position. Raise him to Corporal!" Favourite scene!
That was the actor who played the corrupt cardinal in Godfather III.
@@Mujangga Good catch.
"Sir, if you go any further, you will be killed!

Love the dialogues!
Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

Napoleon: Where is Grouchy?
Grouchy: Vibing on the road with some strawberries
People been vibing since 1800s
If only it had been Davout and not Grouchy...
@@LockonStratos21 If only Berthier had not fled with the Bourbons, and had Bessieres not been killed. So many what ifs one decision, one man or even one moment could have and did change the course of history.
He do be vibing tho
@@cdubs1237 You and your mistress were "vibing" too in Spain 🇪🇸
Rod Steiger's epic performance. As good as any performance I've ever seen. And, IMO, the greatest battle reenactment ever filmed.
I did not realize he was not what you’d call Tall
He who saves a nation violates no law.
Unbelievably powerful.
Is it though? What's that even supposed to mean?
"I lost the battle at five o'clock, but I won it again at seven!" Love that quote
Shame Grouchy was no Desaix…
True. If Desaix would be there instead of Grouchy… I think Napoleon would have won the battle
@@nightking3877 Wouldn't change much on the strategic outcome. Coalition forces present at Waterloo were but the vanguard of much bigger armies. At best Napoleon could have escaped by sea to America.
This version brings NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to life. Rod Steiger should have been nominated for an OSCAR. I had a VHS of Abel Gance's NAPOLEON but it was stolen. I hope you can download that movie. Thank You so much for this movie.
because george c scott playing patton that year was better !!
I've always considered this to be Rod Steiger's best role.
Gwaithmir The Pawnbroker has more depth.
The bfi recently came out with a blu ray of napoleon I can give you a link to download it if you want
Oscar? I think you mean Emperor of the French
Rest In Peace Christopher Plummer.
Rset in peace Rod Steiger
The best actors
One of best actors to live.
@@gamerland5007 excellent comment !!!
@@gamerland5007 Rod was truly beyond brilliant --- He was Napoleon !!!
One of Rod Steiger's best performances, definitely one of his most epic.
yes...especially because he shows the weaknesses of the man
absolutely beyond epic ... a beyond brilliant actor !!!
the best depiction of Napoleon ever
Love to see a movie about the 1813 campaign when Bonaparte still had a decent chance of holding most of his gains. Even if he'd won at Waterloo and smashed the Prussians in a third fight, the odds were very long against him.
He should have just temporarily given up Germany and Westphalia to get the Russian army to go home. With time his marriage to Marie Louise could have produced an alliance with the Austrians and he could have reclaimed Poland if he had let his army and country recover from the 1812 disaster. But his pride cost him too much.
@@TheArchiveOfWonder similar to Custer
He would have forced the British to make piece since it would be the first time he would destroy one of their field armies also he would have eliminated their best troops veterans of Iberia as well as that he would wiped out British command and crushed the British will to fight by defeating their best commander in the field Wellington.
@@beniaminorzechowski9913 excellent observation ... but then there was the Grouchy Debacle that felled Napoleon ... however He could have defeated the whole of Europe in the years that follow !!!
@@brucewayne3602 Custer was set up to fail. Grant knew what he was doing, and Sheridan knew Custer. His orders killed him.
As a professional chef it always upsets me to see Napoleon stand up and leave the table making the marshals follow. Bro, someone worked hard on that meal!!
"Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake. That's bad manners." - Napoleon. When fighting great generals like Robert E.. Lee and Napoleon you just have to wait until they make a mistake, human beings all make mistakes regardless of talent and they will eventually have a Waterloo or a Gettysburg.
Just play Chess.
Brilliant tactician, some claim that like Rommel he was rather poor at logistics...Citing his campaigns in Egypt, Russia. Though just as Rommel understood the danger of Malta and how big a gamble his own 1942 race into Egypt was, Napoleon knew before anyone else that he was in trouble and risking everything in Russia and even considered stopping at Vilna and Vitebsk or staying defensive at Moscow but he'd managed to win out so many times before and the need to avoid admitting he'd made a disastrous error led him on and on.
@@regertz For swift and decisive you want Rommel, for worn out battle of attrition you want Montgomery who was awesome organizer, but medicore commander.
Will Loomis well, both their defeats like Hitler were inevitable
John D. Fuchfags Very true, there’s only so long that you can fight against all odds before you lose everything.
Despite me knowing the outcome I was still rooting for Napoleon.
funny, i was thinking how sad it must have been for a person to be a great winner and suddenly lose like that.
@@grandmalovesmebest Once on top of the world, then no more.
It's a Greek drama. After all this the end of the neo-classical period.
@ "He that saves a nation, violates now law."
@ Napoleon spread many of the ideas of the French revolution. Sure there was a lot of killing and a lot of death, but he changed Europe for the better.
This is film making. See what you can do with zero green screen?
Davey Givens and powder blanks followed by repeating powder blanks in musket followed by possible animals harmed in making of film followed by shooting only one colors of a cannon in different angles so you spend less money on mutual powder shots followed by scarecrows behide the 2nd and 1st row followed by pretending the ground was muddy but it was gray and not full green.
All I'm saying it's slot more then just meets the eye, and maybe and most likely more work and by all that is true 100% more thought and creativity and it is the creativity that is all the more out standing.
dasd blian Have you no imagination, it seems you might be suffering OCD.
Or........ You must be a Master Director?
This film is unparalleled, it is a masterpiece of a film.
It's as close as you can get in terms of sequence
wardrobe and feeling.
It condenses the events of the final stages of the French empire explicitly well.
Orem Wells . The magnificent Rod Steiger . Really I suggest you reconsider .
Green screen, or lack thereof, does not make or break a film. Also, this film is entirely unexceptional. If you want to see a great film, why don't you watch Le Silence de la Mer, or Citizen Kane, or 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Boromirino Kripperino Citizen Kane and especially 2001 aren’t good films to compare to Waterloo as both are just brilliant. Waterloo is excellent too but it can’t be put down just because it’s not one of the top 10 best films of all time. 99% of films would be failures if compared to those two.
But... I haven’t seen the French film. I’ll need to check that out. Can you tell me anything about it?
It’s unfortunate movies like this will never be made again. 16,000+ extras, and horses. I work in the industry and the insurance alone for such a large group would bankrupt a movie. You aren’t even allowed to have a horse in a movie without a saddle.
thank you for not accepting the ad money and giving us the real deal. sad that your vid has way less views than the other one that took the ad money. wonder how that happened. #algorithm
because youtube leads with the ones that take the ad money!
I think he should have taken the ad money. But you shouldn't be the one complaining about it. If you don't like the ads so much you can actually rent or buy the whole film. It's not something morally wrong to insert ads, its just you not wanting to spend few dollars.
COPS .101 that’s fine. You have an option of not watching RUclips or paying for RUclips premium. I have premium and I have absolutely zero ads. Only ads I have which the video directors themselves described through their mouth.
@@StopFear your point is 100% valid but I think he is referring to those people that post "full movies" and its actually just a 2 hour long ad or half the screen is the movie and the other half is ads
People spent countless man hours and money to make this film and you want to get it for free? I wonder if you ever made something of this quality if you would be okay with other people stealing it.
I used to hate older movies, but now that I am in my 30s I appreciate them even more. And this is one of the best historical movies I have ever seen. This and Gettysburg take the cake for me.,
Nobody will portrait Napoleon better than Rod Steiger.
This gives you the chance to see World Class actors at work, Rod Steiger doing Napoleon using the Method, and Christopher Plummer , a Shakespearen actor, playing Wellington. Plummer seems to be perpetually amused by the battle, which may not be far from the truth.
This is the best war movie, battle scenes are amazing and the music is just perfect!
It is man. It really is
Nino Rota was a great composer.
Rod steiger est impressionnant dans ce rôle il est certainement l'acteur qui ait le mieux incarné Napoleon; sa posture et son charisme naturel y ont beaucoup contribués. Dommage qu'il n'ait pas reçu un Oscar pour ce rôle au plus près de la vérité.
Jamais l'Occident dégénéré n'aurait donné un Oscar à un film soviétique.
Et ce n'est pas plus mal, toute récompense de l'Occident est un poison désormais.
If ever a man was born to portray the Duke of Wellington, Christopher Plummer was that man. Rod Steiger turned Napoleon into a human being- in itself a great accomplishment.
Remarkably low-keyed, with minimal histrionics. What a pleasant change from Hollywood's usual over-the-top approach!
Well said
And an unusual adherence to the facts of the battle. A bit more on the Hougoumont fight (the closing of the gate) would have been good.
Thank GOD the director did not coerce Steiger to undertake some sort of ridiculous accent. His performance is astounding, although I would expect nothing less from him.
Indeed
Astonishing, the energy he brings to this role. He has the will to go from a artillery corporal to an emperor
Yep, he was great
@@blessOTMA Well, Napoléon never was a corporal, he was an officer: lieutenant at the young age of 16 after his schooling in the military schools of Brienne and Paris. The "little corporal" was the nickname his soldiers gave him during the campaign of Italy.
Major Denis Bloodnok thank you for that information. The nickname makes more sense that way.
Kinda funny how most of the "extras" playing soldiers on both sides were actually soldiers from the Soviet Red Army in real life.
They weren't called the red army anymore when this movie was made
The amount of detail they put in was astounding. They spent weeks learning to march in historical formations and fire the way they did historically.
What is so fucking funny about this? Better than nowadays when everything is made in photo shop
Yeahh, you hit the right nail. It was Soviet Army division 18k people participated it this film. And also there is no any relation to Colambia pictures. This film was made by Soviet film studio - "MosFilm" in cooperation with some Italian studios. Directed by Fedor Bondarchuk. Very famous Soviet film-directror.
@@ColonelBragg bullshit! It was The hight of the cold war!
Great movie
Rod Steiger is astounding as Napoleon. Such tension and desperation especially when it's announced that the Old Guard has broken. Stunning. Kudos also to Dan O Herlihy's excellent portrayal of Marshall Ney.
more like napoleon as steiger
Dan O'Herlihy looked exactly like Marshall Ney. Great cast choice!
Stop that useless noise!....You'll hurt yourself. :)
If marshall blucher dont come through now they'll break every bone in my body
In memoriam of Frank Zappa.
a favorite quote of mine from a favorite movie of mine. Think of England, think of England! is one of the others.
Funny. Good line. Fine movie
Napoleon has hum bugged me...
''He who saves a nation, violates no law.'' Words to live by.
Uh huh.
“The saddest thing next to a battle lost is a battle won”- The Duke of Wellington
“But he’s no gentleman” Classic. Top 5 best war movies. The Canadian Plummer plays the quintessential British gentleman and the New Yorker Steiger plays the “Will of France”...brilliant casting! “Nothing so terrible as a battle lost than a battle won”
An excellent movie. I especially like the authentic music that was actually played as they went into battle. Those poor kids, the drummer boys. I can't believe they were sacrificed that way.Cavalry charge on the squares was my favorite scene. Plummer superb as the unruffled Wellington. Thank you for offering this.
In 1970 the way they made movies was just - what is the word for it? Long scenes, lots of silence, crazy cuts, close ups, angles that made it art - I can't wait for this directing style to return to cinema. It will.
It appears to that Rodney Steiger DEFINITELY did his homework on Napoleon Bonaparte before filming WATERLOO. He even had Napoleon's facial "ticks" down pat! Yes, Rod Steiger not only played Napoleon, he BECAME him!
What a brilliant movie. The opening scene, with the generals in lock step, confidence in their eyes....
as soon as they get close to Napolean, round the corner. They lose their purpose and become more concerned with what Napolean feels. Jaws agap, instead of telling him they ask.
And Napolean shows his true monstrous self........
All in one scene. Let the show begin and the audience falls for Napolean KNOWING what he is.
Just like the French did.
Simply amazing movie.
1:55:49, most impressive scene in my opinion. How many men are present in that shot? That is a scary sight to behold
I'm an American living in Ukraine.They filmed it here using almost 18thousand troops from the Soviet army and taking 6 months to teach them how to shoot muskets and do drill correctly plus a lot more too.There us almost no CGI in this movie,its almost all real.
Model- Man Correction- there is NO CGI in this movie.
@@thomaseastmond7184 Yep, I knew there was very little.
Model- Man No you don’t get it, there was no CGI in this movie. None. Not at all. There wasn’t very little. There was none.

I love the score that plays when the credits roll, I need an hour loop of this version.
Agreed. Fits the moment; what a comeback!
Too bad the audio is too low to hear it lol
First, I must thank Marlbrouk for posting such a fantastic movie. Being a Rod Steiger fan, I admit, I missed this one when it came out in 1970. Before the battle of Waterloo, it was interesting to see how the British officers were all toasting each other. There was an etiquette for battle with armies of countries back then. First, they played music and bagpipes to rally up the men. It was interesting when the Redcoats arrived in North America to fight Washington and the colonies. The Brits were used to the formality of war, marching in a straight line. Whereas, the colonies were probably the first army to use gorilla war tactics. This was one of the greatest war films I’ve ever seen. I can see how military historians would enjoy watching such a film. Steiger regrets not taking the role of Patton in 1970. I’m glad the late George C. Scott took the role as he brought a certain panache to the role. I feel this is probably one of Steiger’s greatest roles. Christopher Plummer was brilliant as Wellington. What a great movie! Many thanks again to Marlbrouk!
Before the Revolution The Redcoats and Colonists fought the French and Native Americans, the Natives and French fought with guerrilla warfare, so they were used to it.
George Armstrong Custer plus they had loyalist militias and dagoons, which also fought with such tactics. The English were not some ignorant bumbling military force in North America during the late 1700’s, which to many people think they were at that time.
'gorilla'
No, they were not the first. Guerrilla and asymmetric warfare has been a thing since Sargon. There were numerous British army units incorporating riflemen and light infantry, and the Ferguson rifle saw service. Both sides in the war utilised lines and related tactics, because guerrillas don't win major wars like that.
It's also important to note that each regiment in the American theatre had a light infantry company, and offices were instructed in light infantry drill.
Christopher Plummer lost an eye but wet on to become a Klingon Admiral who loved Shakespeare
Came to watch this after walking out of ridley scotts Napoleon
they shouldve casted denzel washington as napoleon. missed opportunity
Hahahahah🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@eddiew2325
Actually would have done a better job than Phoenix. Even with the glaring historical inaccuracy!
I remember seeing this on a black and white television as a kid in the 70s. This is a real treat!
All the metal bits catching glare in the long range shots at 1:21:26 - these are the little details CGI won't ever care to replicate. The horse messengers running the lines laterally passing orders and information. This was the last of the great war movie at just about reenactment scale.
How about The Charge of the Light Brigade?
You must have missed Barry Lyndon then.
Thanks for repeating what you heard in another YT video. You should at least put a link; instead of just stealing the line.
i think those were production assistants running around telling the extras what is going on and what to do next. but because they were also dressed up it looked like war messangers, so great trick there.
I've been meaning to watch Waterloo for years. Well worth it.
Win or lose, these were real men, unlike what we have today (2020).
33:35: “Well, they’ve done it. Declared me an enemy of humanity, all of Europe has declared war against me. Not against France, but against me.”
Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer, two of the all-time great actors! They are very missed.
So Napoleon WASN'T a creepy socially awkward incel/petulant child? Fascinating.
HAHAH
You realize this scene (the scene where Ney's soldiers REFUSE to fire upon the Emperor and JOIN HIM) at 20:34 is 100% TRUE?...as it HAPPENED!...
I've watched the opening scene at Fontainbleau maybe a dozen times and never get tired of it.
The Soviets did make some damn good movies
True!
Dino de Laurentis made this movie; he was the producer. Sergei Bondarchuk directed.
That’s what is great about Soviet films. Being that movies were a state sponsored affair, they were immense in scale.
Their miniseries on "War and Peace" ran on US TV decades ago and remains the best adaptation of the book. Wonderfully filmed and acted.

"This man knows how to defend a hopless position... raise him to corporal." --- The Duke of Wellington
ROD STEIGER IS NAPOLEON. Wonderful cast. Heroic music.Tremendous attention to period dress, weapons, and customs. Exciting Drama and amazing battle scenes. I throughly enjoyed this epic of history. I have watched this three times and shall watch three more.. Thank you for posting.
Historical fact: Napoleon disappeared for 2 hours in the middle of the battle... He was too sick to win that day
He wasn’t to sick to win, he was beaten.
Hey Zeus Wept The argument isn’t entirely without merit. Here is a quote that I managed to gleam from an online source, “Napoleon had a lot of illnesses, and he suffered badly from hemorrhoids. We know that his diet was lacking, that he was normally constipated...and those factors could explain what happened at Waterloo.” Napoleon at Waterloo wasn’t the same Napoleon of the Italian Campaign or Marengo or Austerlitz or Friedland. By 1815, he was an old, sickly man suffering from many ailments and that easily could affect someone’s ability to successful lead a high stakes and very stressful campaign with these hardships that he had to endure. Imagine if Napoleon at Waterloo, was the Napoleon of Rivoli or Austerlitz then Wellington wouldn’t have stood a chance at all! In the words of a fellow Napoleon enthusiast “Wellington beat a 1% Napoleon and thinks he’s amazing.”
I know their were other factors of course involved at Waterloo, but Napoleon’s declining health could very well be and likely is definitely one of them!
@@cocotaveras8975 You should read War and peace and you'll see that what you just wrote wasn't entierly true.
He died 5 or so years after Waterloo. It was a health problem not from a broken heart or anything. If he won he would have died anyway then
@@cocotaveras8975 It's a combination of declining health and other factors. It would be wise not to discount the fact Wellington had a decade to learn Napoleon's craft, study his methods and as what happened in the battle learn to predict and outmaneuver him. Time was moving forward, and the unique genius of Napoleon had become a part of European military's common consciousness. To put it harshly, his innovations had become old news. Wellington played his cards almost perfectly, robbing Napoleon of his strengths and denying him every advantage he tried to eke out. Although the movie portrays it differently, there's a fairly good chance Napoleon could have fought all day regardless of Blucher's intervention, and would not be able to dislodge the British from that hill. As much as I love Monsieur Bonaparte, he finally met his match on that day.
funniest part starts at 56:30. That fella knows how to defend a helpless position lol.
Raise him to piggy corporal
History always does justice, this movie was not appraised well in its time yet went down as a classic for posterity
Why is it that even with CGI no one cares to make movies about history any more? Movies like Waterloo were key to driving my interest in history as a child. Today's children know nothing about history and I suppose that is the point; to disconnect them from the great feats of the past and indoctrinate them towards an authoritarian future. Fantastic movie and single change I would make is less fiery explosions. This rarely happened on the battlefield in 1815.
I'll watch anything with Rod Steiger. Such a sublime actor. Kubrick wished he could have made a film on NAPOLEON, but I wonder if it would have been as good as this..Well it certainly would have been different--but with all natural lighting, at least! Thanks for the upload!
Rod Steiger is a perfect choice to portray Napoleon: The right height, weight and age.
@@Bigbadwhitecrackeroh? what were they?
He wanted to use 40 000 soldiers
This is a real and great movie, not that one with Phoenix
Exelente Produccion de Dino di Laurenty..... Eterna Gratitud a Dino di Laurenty. Jesus David Marti i. Desde CORO DONDE NACIO VENEZUELA CON SU PRIMERA CAPITANIA GENERAL.
This is how wars are supposed to be waged.
Amazing performance by Steiger alone as Napoleon. When filming many scenes, the Russian film crews were using "end cuts" in the film canisters; meaning that they were not fully loaded with film, because of money problems. Steiger would do an outstanding performance, and later learn that is was not on film. Needless to say, he was very upset (putting it mildly) I cannot THANK YOU enough for this!
What is your proof of this Honored General?
Bondarchuk - the genius of the battle cinema. This film is unsurpassed. Better no battle scenes shot. Unfortunately, this film is very undervalued.
Best battle scene of any war movie is air cavalry descending on Vietnamese village in Apocalypse Now. But Waterloo is quite good, particularly as a period and war movie in one.
Two other war films I like from 1970 are M.A.S.H. and Patton.
He was born in wrong country
@@kaiserjager2754 this wrong country was able doing such good films not for money, just for art of cinema. For you it maybe empire of evil , but for us it was home and far more fair place for living than modern Russia
@@anthonyjameson7129 yeah. europeans did that. in the US nothing gets done except for money. well, nothing commercial that is.
@steve hammond Did me, being a war veteran. Brought back the horror.
The role Christopher Plummer was born for.
Great actor!
Yep.
He reprised the role in an episode of "Witness To Yesterday". Modern journalist Patrick Watson interviewed him as if he was Wellington.
"Good beans, Wellington"
Great movie, I remember watching some of it when I was much younger. It seemed much more chaotic than even now.
What a way to wage war. Like pieces on a chess board, the soldiers wait in the open, exploding cannon fire coming at them. Then they rush forward into hell when they are called. Like ants into a fire.
It gives a real meaning to cannon fodder. And what Wellington says at the end “Next to a battle lost, the saddest thing is a battle won.”
Thanks for the upload without the ads, it made all the difference.

Beautifully dine movie. Steiger was excellent as Bonaparte! Plummer was more than excellent in his portrayal as the UPSTART Arthur Wellesley later Duke of Wellington. Are they STILL holding the traditional Waterloo dinners at Apsley house, I wonder...? Went to one it was boring beyond belief......!
Basically all Scots soldiers are some of the best in Europe and some of the worst led in this time period.
British Cavalry was known as the most undisciplined in Europe. Wellington hated them and considered them an liability. Full of fanciful hotshots who never trained seriously the way French, Prussian or Austrian cavalry did.
@@alexlaws5086 All British Cavalry was a mess.
A superb film. Sadly forgotten by young people
Im watching it.

napoleon -"When i am gone what will the world say of me" marshal--"they will say you extended the limits of glory " a perfect response couldn't have said it better my self
I was a bit mystified by Blucher's constant referring to his soldiers as "my children!" Turns out he actually did talk that way!
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death." - Sun Tzu
If I would be granted the miracle power to change only one historical event, if would be the Battle of Waterloo.
If Napoleon had won Waterloo, our world would be definitely better.
Ironic that I watched this today, it’s June 18th, the 205th anniversary of this battle!
'Next to a battle lost, the saddest thing is a battle won.'
Definitely hardest hitting quotes in history.
The march of the young and old guards is absolutly terryfing ❤❤❤❤
The new Napoleon movie suck so bad. This movie is a masterpiece.
Not only is the production value insane, but the acting just amazing. One of the best war films I've ever seen.
Nick Hammer
Absolutely spectacular
historically, 100 percent accurate to the detail
This is the best i've never seen a full movie, a good one at that with NO ADS, that's a first. I'm subbing And upvoting.
Why no ads? Better not ask...might jinx it
Thanks for sharing! Undoubtedly the best film of the battle of Waterloo, no CGI crap all extras real people! You will never see the likes again.
19:25 you know its a good movie when it has some of his real badass quotes in it ^^ gotta to admit that take some balls
Wow this is from 1970. Amazing. It’s a very good movie.
Amazing content too cleanse my eyes after I survived the Napoleon movie
Love the shot in the beginning of the Marshals marchings into the room at Fontainebleau. Always trying to guese which is which besides Ney and Soult.
I love how the movie provides three perspectives on one battle.
They took so many chances in this movie.. I love it.
Jef Varnadore yep lots of bruises but no deaths, except horses. One man died of a heart attack though.
Rod Steiger is one of my favorite actors and no one plays napoleon like he!
Thank you, I saw this as a child in the Haymarket, London, with my late mum and dad.
What an astonishing life. One of the 10 most extraordinary humans to have ever lived. I don't care if it ended on an island in the South Atlantic. People forget, prior to 1809 all the wars he fought were declared against France. Yes Spain and Russia were of his doing, and his end. But the 100 days only reaffirmed his legacy. He is beyond legend. His presence lives today in French law in the Napoleonic Code. It was under Napoleon's rule that a man could rise through the ranks because of his ability, not because his father was a Lord or Baron. Watch the PBS series on his life. The last commentary words of the entire series summed him up. "He will never die."
Napoleon was a killer!! Rod Steiger is the best.
He did not do too, very well with his Russian campaign, old boy...
"Dolphins have returned to Italy"
meanwhile in France:

UFB What are you even talking about?
@@cocotaveras8975 Napoleon returning to France from Elba
Yo i died laughing to this!
I can’t imagine how much fun the soldiers had reenacting this battle
Depends on the scene, the main battle scenes where they’re on horseback was prolly fun, but marching those miles or being apart of that final French force that got blasted by the cannons was prolly not so much fun. Those horse riders had a hell of a time though
This is a great film with a superb actor.. Unfortunately cannot say the same thing for the latest film on the life of napoleon so very very very disappointing😢😢😢
