I'm French too, and I lie Napoléon too, but I don't like the god or the devil, I like the man simply. And I love the Russian people too, always forgotten in the great moments of history. You are, for my, the real winners of the WWII.
Damn this actor nails the part of Napoleon...he's eye's are spot and his look for this period... Napoloeon was known to have Grey eyes its very reare to see actors playing the great man with this minor detail
The more and more I research Napoleon, the more and more I wish Stanley Kubrick would have made the film about him. Kubrick owned one of the biggest archives on the planet about Napoleon and said it was going to be the greatest movie ever made if he got the chance.
It's Russian TV-ad of 1990's. "17th of November of 1812 near Berezina river the French troops were totally defeated. Emperor Napoleon left the remains of his army and fleed to Paris. Secretly... [Old lady tries to get to Napoleon] Nap., stops: - Can I help you madam? Old lady: - I just wanted to admire my Emperor. Nap., gives a coin: - Here you are, madam. That's for you. Here I look much better."
In Egypt, Bonaparte was not the leader of France but just a general of the Directoire. The Casus Belli of the Russian campaign was the Russian withdrawal from the Continental system. This was a declaration of war, Alexander I knew it and wanted war.
parceque je suis Français tout simplement et que je préfére la France. J'aime mon pays mais cela m'empêche pas d'apprécier d'autres grandes nations. le monde ne s'arrête ni à Dunkerque ou Perpignan .
about time i see a napoleon worthy to be on sceen....this guy is great. He has the correct eyes for the gig. Right colour too...Most people dont relise when casting a Napoleon..he had Grey eyes.. not damn brown.
Napoleon Bonaparte was the savior of my country...he kicked austrian ass...with our army units "Brambovci"... he knew our nations (franks and karantanians) were always in good relationships... VIVE L'EMPEREUR NAPOLEON BONAPARTE!
As for living off the land, that deserves nuancing because he was the only one who tried to minimise the suffering of civilians (he compensated those whose houses were destroyed for example) and his preparations included as much provision of food as possible. Living off the land was a last resort when the commissariat broke down. Compare that with the Prussian or Russian forces who wantonly destroyed everything in their path !
"17 november 1812 on river Berezina Napoleon's army was totally defeated. He left the rest of army and went to Paris." The old woman says "I just want to look on my Emperor" Napoleon give her a coin and answer "Take that. I'm looking much better on it" (There is his portrait on coin)
@legvera I'm a Napoleonic Historian, Napoleon was a genuis and an expectional tactician and Ruler, France loved him and adored the structure he wanted as France. Napoleon who was the leading General in 58 battles, of those battles in only lost 5 . As well as battling this man had to run a Country and at times had to be at war with more than 4 other allied Coalitions. Yes the allies at points had weaker armies, but they also had the coalitions which gave a handicap to Napoleon.
That's how the British declared war on France in 1803, after accusing him of having the intention of punching them. I recommend AJP Taylor's "How wars begin"
@legvera I agree. Both Prussia and Austria saw two weak leaders rise to power in that time, which would have normally been the two forces to stop him say if Frederick the Great was still living at the time.
OH, I pretty much agree with you... the allies had to change thier strategy, indeed, to fight Napoleon. One of them WAS to stay together as much as was possible. The other was to shun battle directly with him and gang up on his commanders- as you probably know, as a tactician the allies figured him invincible. However, i'm not sure the allied strategy forced him to Leipzig as much as it was the russian winter... as well as having a sizeable chunk of his troops the vietnam of the age- Spain.
In March 1796, Napoleon Bonaparte, an unknown Corsican official (favourite of the mistress of Barras, at that time the head of the Directoire) already distinguishing himself a few months before, during the cannonade against the Parisian crowd, received the command of the Army of Italy.
Le probléme avec certains anglos / saxons pas tous heuresement , c'est qu'ils ont une mémoire selective et qu'ils ne se rapellent que de ce qui est positif pour eux et quand tu leurs réponds en appuyant la ou cela fait mal leurs réponse ce sont des insultes !!
AJP Taylor, Cronin and Asprey are not Napoleonic "apologists". And I was looking at the other side of the argument when I drew my conclusions. Hence the admiration for the one guy who tried to limit the damage caused by a revolution he found himself in the middle of and of wars he didn't start.
well yes your right about napoelon not yet beeing the emperor but it was his expedition and they signed off on it. Napoleon should have waited untill the spring to invade and gone straight for St. Petersburg
As Napoleon said himself,"The truth is but a set of lies agreed upon", so I suppose that means we all have our own truths dependant on the information we recieve. I have read a lot about Napoleon and my French wife and her brothers, who attended top Parisian schools founded by the man himself, are all of the opinion he was a dictator. I only mention this so you do not assume that I present the english view!
in all trues if Corsica was not France Napoleon would not have existed... Napoleon is the children of the French Revolution of 1789 and the young French Republic dont forget never it VIVE l'Empereur !!! ^^
The main difference between the English revolution and the French one is that the latest was not only national, but universal. The French ideals affected directly or indirectly the entire Europe, hence the world. As an example, the Declaration of the Rights of Man has become the world's absolute standard of democracy. Napoleon is not guilty for the dead of these wars, as he never declared a single war. The guilt rests on the British oligarchy, the Austrian absolutism, the Russian autocracy...
As for Amiens, the question wasn't how long it lasted, but whether the terms were acceptable. Look up the biography by Vincent Cronin, the more recent two volume work by Robert Asprey and "How wars begin" by the great AJP Taylor for more information.
@royalsteven He was 5"6 in British imperial measurements and the wars he fought began 7 years before he came to power. The sad part is that he gets accused of warmongering today by people who don't know their History and just look at the map
He was a dictator. Any peace with him could only be agreed by kissing his feet. Which the brits understandably didnt want to. So they played the long game allowing him to age, observed his victories and then bested him on the battle field and kept him a prisoner for the rest of his days and took many of his conquests as their own. They then became the most powerful nation on the earth for a little while! The end!
Napoleon brought France out of instability and chaos and worked hard to create a strong government and economy and a country of law. Most of the institutions he built survive till this day: Polytechnique, the Napoleonic Code, the bank of France... for that he was great. he was a military genius and people always respect genius. But he really wanted to take over Europe and his wars (sometimes aggresion) caused too much death and destruction and that is why he also gets a bad rep.
les Allemands et les Français , certainement . Pour les Américains, je suis beaucoup plus réservé. Par contre, celui qui va battre les Russes sur leur terrain, n'est pas encore né ! C'est un peuple qui est tellement habitué au sacrifice et au malheur. Personne n'aurait pu subir ce qu'ils ont vécu durant leur histoire . P.s : 75 % des soldats Allemands tués durant la guerre, l'ont été sur le front Russe.
malgré tous les americains sont quand même la plus grandes puissance militaire à l'heure actuel ! N 'oublie pas aussi que les russes ont souvent étés aider par le froid !
people, hello! This is a clip about Napoleon! Not about Islam, or Christianity!! Come on... If there was one ruler in this world, not caring about whatever religion you had, it was Napoleon. Cause he.. was an atheist.
french superiority at that time is so strong that no other could match their forces.but as the time goes by,it slowly fade coz they didnt follow the rules of modern warfare.just like in ww2,the germans defeated the french in only six weeks of campaign.
Sadly for all of us they then mimicked many of his ideas to subjugate and brain wash their own people, because no one could do that as well as the emperor
Napoleon try to attacked Bernadotte...but he backed...and the other two allies armys try to suround Napoleon and cut of his supplys-linjes. THATS why Napoleon MUST withdraw to Leipzig...and met his defeat. The allied commanders where very anxious to have Bernadotte on their side...they knew his capacity! Of the British authorites he - and his royalty family - gets the island Guadeloupe! Friendly Ulf Sawert. Sweden
My guess is that Leipzig was hopless because Napoleon was greatly outnumbered, lacked sufficient cavalry compared to the allies and was nearly surrounded on four sides by this overwhelming force. The defeat in russia was still fresh on the troop's mind I imagine as well. Lastly, this wasn't the Grande Armee' of the earlier campaigns but a whole new conscript hastily thrown together.
I will agree that he was an amazing general a visionary and an inspiring figure who changed the face of the world, however not all was for the better. Lets not forget the countless deaths of inocent peasants who suffered due to his army living off the land as well as the abject barbarisms commited against the egyption people without mercy. Seek your heros else where is my advice.
Napoleon wasn't a military genius he was a military prodigy.... He should hav been satisfied with everything before the campaign against Russia.. Nd in summer then he could fight Russia
@Scrinoverlord and where did you get Italy out of that? The only thing italian about them was the language. other than that corisca was never part of italy. it was owned by the french, given to the papacy, taken by the genoese and then bought back by the french.
The unsuspected gifts of Bonaparte, his unscrupulous military conduct (contempt for word given and chivalrous rules, which until then had disciplined wars, recourse to gold if only to bribe opposing generals, systematic looting of the occupied territories even if neutral, maintenance and billeting of the troops at the expense of the civil population treated as
Alright...here come some facts! When the russian Tsar and the Prussian king met in the castle of Trachenberg in summer 1813, the Crownprince of Sweden - Karl Johan - line up the winning strategy that defeated Napoleon! On his suggestion the allied army should split up into three forces...and if one of them been attacked by Napoleon should the other two surounded him...THATS why Napoleon must withdrow to Leipzig. Berndotte also beat the frenchmen at Grosbeeren and Dennewitz. Ulf Sawert
@MusicGroup13 What do you mean "satisfied"? He was not a warmongering conquerer, he knew perfectly well when to be "satisfied". He was satisfied in 1802, but was Britain? No! She violated the Treaty of Amiens, and until the Battle of Waterloo Napoleon fought wars that were defensive in nature from an aggressive Britain and her Continental thugs.
@legvera the only draw back for Napoleon was obviously Russia, which then you can doubt not his leadership skills but his will to want more and do what generals in the past fell to do.
Of course he wasn't a dictator. You come off it. The Council of State, the Tribunate, the Legislative Body and the Senate were all allowed to argue with him and did so. The Tribunate rejected the first draft of the Civil Code, the Senate refused to support the abolition of slavery and the Council of State refused to remove "civil death" and suppressed the jury system against his expressed wishes.
my enemys are many my equals are none. in the shade of the olive trees they said italy could never be conquered. in the land of pharoahs and kings they said egypt could never be unbroken. in the realm of forest and snow they said russia could never be tamed. now they say nothing they fear me as a force of nate a dealer in thunder and death. i say i am napolean, I AM EMEPROR
Napoleon never declared a single war and imposed 5 times peace to the British, Austrian, Russian and Prussian warmongers. He's not the monster as British propaganda portrayed him.
No, the peace of Amiens was broken by GB : the British public opinion never admitted peace, the British governement refused to apply the conditions of the treaty (concerning the restitution of Malta, by example) and the British navy captured French ships during peacetime. These were casus belli.

Napoleon was prepared to share Europe with his neighbours, the war party in GB wanted nothing other than the destruction of the French Republic and British domination of world trade and the seas.
Napoleon... The 2nd largest brute in European History after Hitler. He was nothing more than a brute military dictator, not a string better than any other. Don't deny this please. Historians of today are already reconsidering his position in World History.
@ToaJoe Yeah, well, it's not thanks to your English revolution that the class division is no longer sharp. It's rather thanks to the Napoleonic armies that revolutionized the traditional European society.

@bilboen: What!? he's the most portrayed historical figure in the history of cinema! Try NapoCinéPédia if you're looking for films featuring the Emperor.
Fair play to you and your encyclopedic knowledge of Napoleons personal account of his career, with your additional background reading of the accounts of his apologists, however I feel you admire this guy to the point of worship. It is a common phenomenon. However I feel you need to look at the other side of the argument before drawing your conclusions.
Какие прекрасные актёры! Огромная благодарность всем создателям такой рекламы! До мурашек..от такого

Damn this actor nails the part of Napoleon...he's eye's are spot and his look for this period...
Napoloeon was known to have Grey eyes its very reare to see actors playing the great man with this minor detail
One thing that I really like about Napoleon is that he actually had a pretty good sense of humor.
This is a Russian commercial for Bank Imperial, it's not a movie people. Go check out their other commercials. they're awesome.
Шикарный актёр, вылитый Наполеон. Снималось действительно с уважением
Very good movie indeed. Mr.Clavier is an excellent Napoleon
I like Napoleon and France! I like the history around that time, fascinating!
The more and more I research Napoleon, the more and more I wish Stanley Kubrick would have made the film about him. Kubrick owned one of the biggest archives on the planet about Napoleon and said it was going to be the greatest movie ever made if he got the chance.

one thing for sure, Napoleon defeated by nature called the mount of TAMBORA, remember 'the year without summer'
Napoleon identified HIMSELF as French, and that is more important than anything else.

Don't think it harms you too much.

I' m French , but I like Russia because the Russians are Magnific !
Кто? Кто эти прекрасные актёры? Наполеон и старушка? Где они сейчас?
В роли Наполеона - Сергей Трофимов. Старушку не нашёл :(
Napoleon Bonaparte is my IDOL!!!
MY FUCKING HERO!
He wasn't an atheist. He was a Deist. He believed in a supreme being, but believed that "religions are the children of men"

He's not the monster as British propaganda portrayed him.
what movie is this?
this is old commercial.
No, the peace of Amiens was broken by GB : the British public opinion never admitted peace, the British governement refused to apply the conditions of the treaty (concerning the restitution of Malta, by example) and the British navy captured French ships during peacetime.
These were casus belli.
well, at least glory is immortal =) and they still have respect :)
What do you mean ????????
@MaxRWF no Need as we had an EMPIRE
yeah. true. tortured. they was moved for thousands kilometers to be tortured.
@MaxRWF : Good point, but you forgot to mention that they refused even to hand Malta over to a neutral state... and likewise for Alexandria. Napoleon was prepared to share Europe with his neighbours, the war party in GB wanted nothing other than the destruction of the French Republic and British domination of world trade and the seas.

Actually its very strange for me when some ppl says that US won Great War. its absurd
Napoleon was a Arvanit , Arvanits are Albanians of Greece , Alexander was Albanian too :)

@legvera
Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of military history will tell you that calling his enemies weak is an insult to common sense.
