I saw this epic film back in the 70s in a theatre in San Francisco. Was told to bring a blanket because it would last till morning. There were several coffee breaks. Wonderful memories. The theatre was called Larkin, closed years ago. Those were the days.
I read WP several times in Russian. The film sticks rather closely to the book. Hence, the length. Interesting factoid. there are huge chunks written in French which then need to be translated into Russian in footnotes.
It is literally one of the hardest to find movies on the Internet, despite it being famous. It is more than a blessing to see it for free, in high quality, on RUclips. Thank you so much for uploading it.
This was the first Mosfilm production I have every watched and I must say that I was blown away by how good this film was and all the other ones. Finding Mosfilm and discovering Soviet/Russian cinema I will consider one of the best things to happen in my life.
I finished watching this masterpiece last night on HBO Max. I cannot believe that (a) this was filmed in the mid 1960's and (b) that the USSR financed and promoted a story partly humanizing Russian aristocracy. The cinematography, artistic direction, decorative minutia, costumes, Napoleon-era battle scenes with mind-boggling pyrotechnics, and remarkable stage-like acting made this one of the grandest cinematic projects in history. And the soul of Tolstoy dwells on every scene. Seven hours and I never EVER got bored or tired. Each scene was delightful to watch, as if you were enjoying a beautiful painting. What a tribute to art and culture!
@@sharikaraman5896 and no, it was in Russian with English subtitles. I would not have enjoyed it as much if it had been dubbed into English. I only watch movies in their original language version.
Soviet films always treated aristicrats with respect, why is it so strange. You can check any movie based on Russian classic literature. Noble people were the ones who produced the cultural content until the 20th century
@@Generaallucas students in school have always read Russian classic literature, both before and after the WW2, it`s just very good literature, very good authors. Pushkin, for example, was always worshipped, there are towns, streets and what not, named after him (before WW2). He is respected not for his aristocratic origin, but for being a great author and his influence on the Russian language. Same refers to all other great authors from the 18th and 19th century. And Soviet people never stopped reading great German authors after WW2 - the origin of the person doesn`t matter. If he created good stuff, he is respected
I saw this film in the very early 70s when I believe on NBC over four nights. I was eleven or twelve years old at the time and was totally Blown Away by it. I vividly remember what an incredible Masterpiece it was. For years I've wanted to re-watch it and now thankfully I have that opportunity. I am so glad. Everything in this movie was done on such an incredibly Grand scale.
Yes, it first ran during the summer over 4 nights on ABC. It was the US release version that had an hour deleted, re-edited and dubbed in English for the US theatrical release, that was released in 2 3-hour parts and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. I think I was 15 when it was on. I thought I'd watch ten minutes, then the film started and in the first 10-seconds I was mesmerized. After it was ove my life had been changed. I no longer saw life in terms of black and white, good and bad--but in many shades of grey, and where everyone has positive and negative traits, and no one is without flaws. I then read the Toldstoy book over the course of a year. I'm now in my late-60's and for years I have kept a copy of the book on my nighstand and open it to any section and read a few pages and it gives me comfort. It's a story about Life. Everybody is looking for Love. Love, the most beautiful and elusive of all things.

The size, scale, excellence, professionalism, qualities, polish, effect, impact, of the great Tolstoy's supreme work are not at all diminshed here, for this is surely the finest, large scale film ever made, in its honesty, accuracy, durability. How superb is the Bondarchuk career in movie making...

It's beautiful they put all these amazing Film Classics free to watch on RUclips. Good to see they are all uploaded Free to Watch Vladimir Lenin would of been proud. If anyone else owned the rights to these pictures the would charge a Monthy Sub fee and it's own streaming service.
I watched this movie when I was about 12 years old on Kuwait TV on Channel Two in the Cinema Club program. And now I'm 53. Nice to see this movie again
One of Russia's greatest authors meets one of Russia's greatest directors, in a film that never loses its freshness, and the only result of which can be a piece of Russian- and world- cinematic history!...
@@corneliuscapitalinus845 Look, I have read War and Peace and I have seen this massive film at least 6 times, including when it was first released (with horrible dubbing). It is one of the great movies based on one of the great books of Western Civilization. In a novel with many, many threads - including the very meaning of life - Tolstoy's key message was that good people should combine to do good - just as bad people combine to do bad things. Specifically, the historical focus is of a single man whose imperial ambitions lead to war, invasion, destruction and the deaths of tens of thousands. Tolstoy's message and warnings apply as much today as when we wrote his book.
@@BadBoy-bt6lb Я смотрела много раз фильм "Унесённые ветром". Я не жила в то далёкое время, никогда не была в Америке, но мне все было понятно. Привет из Сибири. Кемерово.
Count Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the legendary defense of Sevastopol. Crimean War. He also belonged to one of the famous, aristocratic families of Russia. Therefore, all the details described in the novel, he knew and felt very well. Therefore, the novel is recognized all over the world. As the most outstanding literary work of all time.
Yes Crimea has been part of Russia since 18th century and Russians fought many wars for it. I only wonder someone thinks Russia would ever leave Crimean peninsula
Only Russians can present the atmosphere of this Tolstoy's masterpiece. I am from Poland and I feel Russian spirit in this film, nothing more. The other versions are just movies.
This is a brilliant and entertaining movie. Tolstoy's War & Peace is a masterpiece about human nature. I guess the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics can make a great film. With the Communist Politburo backing money was no object. The battle field scenes and the acting are world class. This film is one of my favorites of all time and all genre. Bravo the people of Russia.
@@ninanovak1404 They had some excellent artists, that is for sure. Bondarchuk, Shostakovich, Klimov, etc. Many others weren't exactly on good terms with the Party, and they suffered for it. And comparatively the collective capitalist West has probably produced many more masterpieces. Compare the buildings of old Czech Republic to the disgusting concrete brutalist tumors that everyone hates, or how the historic city of Most went from being ranked as one of the prettiest in the country, to the ugliest after the Soviets bulldozed it. Similar things happened in Poland and the Baltics.
@@Ivan-bk9xsэтот фильм - шедевр, которому нет равных в мире и вы это прекрасно понимаете. А уродливых бетонных зданий хватает во всем мире. При чем здесь СССР и коммунисты?
A towering cinematic achievement. The acting, the drama, the cinematography - all to the highest standard. This movie will never be equalled. No CGI back then, just thousands of Red Army soldiery, posing as Napoleonic Russian and French soldiery - you could tell by the march discipline. Superb.
@@inisipisTVBondarchuk, who directed "War and Peace" and played the role of Pierre, made another film about the Second World War. This film was called "They Fought for the Motherland"
I read the book and the movie follows Tolstoy's work very faithfully. Some spoken dialogue is word for word. A bit disjointed in some scenes due to the length of the movie and the magnitude of the book. If one is familiar with the book, one can fill in the blanks. It is a truly amazing masterpiece. With a cast of thousands; the incredible scenery and costuming are very authentic. A great work of art.
I'm currently reading this book, the 2012 Signet Classics edition which based on book reviews is the best translation. I am already on the last book Book4 and let me say that this is THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. Leo Tolstoy is a master in the development of his characters. The way he lets you get into their emotions and thinking is in my opinion unparalleled. I am glad I gave myself this challenge . Truly a bucket list accomplished. How excited I am to see it in moving pictures. From Philippines 🇵🇭 here.
Yeah, I had never read Tolstoy before and decided to finally give this book a try. It's a long work, but the character development is amazing and Tolstoy combines philosophy, religion, history, the psychosis of human natures, all into one work. It's a masterpiece. I used to say that Lonesome Dove was the greatest novel All respect to Larry McMurtry, but Tolstoy is just on another level. I've read The Idiot as well. I liked the work, but the character development and the many themes in War and Peace is what puts Tolstoy's work far above Dostoevsky's novel. (Sorry if I got the latter writer's name spelled wrong.)
@@Scott-hh3gh Try reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoi. I have read it many times. My Czech father gave me the book when I was only 14 and it has been my favorite book ever since. Also a master piece but not quite as long.
With sublime hypnotic cinematography and cinematic technique, intimate scenes and panoramic vistas equally luminous and radiating, incomparable battlegrounds, sonic sound effects, superior set design, elegant jewelry and costumes, elaborate set decorations, perfect direction and titanic length running time, this totally towering achievement is like easily definitely the best movie ever made by anyone anywhere.
Великий фильм! Великолепные актеры, какая игра! Преклоняюсь перед талантливейшим режиссером С.Бондарчуком. Царство небесное и вечная память всем создателям фильма, а также всем русским солдатам, кровью которых полита земля европы.
This is The Greatest Film Adaption of any novel ever created. The Soviet Union took their beloved epic “War and Peace” very seriously. The heart and soul of Russia and it’s people is well represented in these films.
Work on the film was carried out for about seven years (of which three years were given to shooting the serie "1812"). The picture is considered one of the most expensive in the history of cinema. The budget of the film adaptation was estimated at $ 100 million at 1967 prices (or 560 million in 2007). During the filming, Bondarchuk had serious health problems: in the summer of 1964, he suffered a severe heart attack, which caused filming to be suspended for a month and a half. The director suffered the second attack after the premiere. The film crew has prepared thoroughly for the film adaptation of the novel. Fifty museums of the country have provided their collections for the film - so that the characters and the setting correspond to the era as much as possible. More than four dozen enterprises produced costumes (there were nine thousand of them), exact copies of awards, snuffboxes, carts, weapons and even 200 thousand buttons. Lomonosov Porcelain Factory recreated a large dining set for the film based on drawings of the XVIII century. 150 wagons with equipment were delivered to Transcarpathia, where the Shengraben and Austerlitz battles were filmed. Three thousand soldiers of the Carpathian military District of the Soviet Army were involved in the filming. The main battle scene was filmed in the Dnieper valley, near Dorogobuzh - this place is very similar in relief to Borodino. A huge number of people were involved in the crowd: two armies, Russian and French, portrayed 15 thousand infantrymen, 950 cavalrymen. In the "battle" 40 thousand liters of kerosene, 23 tons of explosives, 15 thousand hand smoke grenades, two thousand checkers and one and a half thousand shells were spent. The extras got used to the image every day: they built, went on the attack, practiced fighting techniques. The film crew managed to create a feeling on the screen without special effects that not 15, but 120 thousand people took part in the battle.
@@walterbenjamin1386 In the search engine, you ask the question - "How was Bondarchuk's War and Peace filmed?", or any other film. We receive a lot of useful information in English and Russian. Translate the Russian-language text using an auto-translator.
Khrushchev himself was so supportive of this movie production that he started Cuban crises hoping to provide veritable shorts of explosions. Luckily for us, he was explained there were no atomic bombs in 1812.
Thank you Soviet Union, and thank Russia for such a cinematic masterpiece. As an amateur Napoleonic historian, and as a lover of art, thank you a thousand times. X AO
Считаю экранизацию Бондарчука шедевром.Ни кто так глубоко не смог передать глубину произведения Толстого.С блеском показана разница петербургского(столичного,холодного,циничного)общества и московского(радушного,хлебосольного,простого в манерах,что так свойственно ИСТИННО русской душе) Ну,а настоящим героем фильма,как и всего произведения, является РУССКИЙ НАРОД. Великолепна игра ВСЕХ актеров.Невозможно выделить лучшего. По размаху фильм можно сравнить с "Унесенными ветром",который также считаю шедевром АМЕРИКАНСКОГО кино.К сожалению,в современное время,такие фильмы уже не снимают.
War and Peace from 1967 is like the single greatest achievement within the entire history of motion pictures and has been my favorite film ever made ever since i first discovered it during my teens back in the 1980s and really only David Leans Lawrence Of Arabia from 1962, Sergei Bondarchucks other historical epic Waterloo from 1970, Akira Kurosawas Ran from 1985 can cinematically compare and perhaps a very few other films as well.
among other things, Bondarchuk is also a great actor. To be convinced of this, just watch the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” In it, Andrei Volkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov appear as ordinary soldiers who stood in the way of the Germans.
Тоже перечитываю каждый год! Считала, что у меня одной такая странная зависимость😊! Приятно думать что есть ещё такие же люди! Спасибо за комментарий! ❤
Лучшей экранизации произведения Л.Н.Толстого чем данный фильм просто нет. There is simply no better adaptation on the Novel of Leo Tolstoi than this Movie.
역사상 가장 위대한 소설. 순수하면서 우수꽝스러울 만큼 심오한 러시안만이 쓸 수 있는 장대한 소설, 자본주의의 논리에 물들지 않은 소비에트 연맹(제국)의 파워에 의해서만 가능했을 어마어마한 영화 프로젝트, 이 둘이 합쳐 200년 전 러시아인의 마음과 사회를 재현해 내는 위대한 업적을 이루었음. 정말이지 러시안들이란... 특히 삐엘은 책속의 삐에르 보다 더 삐에르 같았음.
Extraordinary! The film brought tears to my eyes because it is so beautiful, so true to the novel, so true to the spirit and soul of Tolstoy. Thank you so much for sharing. With love from Paris
I think this film has been remastered. I started watching it some time ago on another channel the quality was not as crisp. Look forward to enjoy this cinematic classic.
Hi Anna I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

I am looking forward to Prince Andrei in the later stages _and his monstrous father.Natasha is a delight and the only Natasha who is so convincingly young at the beginning Thank you for this film.It is a rare and beautiful gift to be treasured many times
Thank you so much, Mosfilm! I've been looking for this movie all over the internet but in Canada, they are not selling the DVD anymore! Thank you for letting us watch this masterpiece!
That bayonet charge depiction is the most authentive and historical we will ever see. Everything is perfect anyway but this is the cherry on the cake. And the explanation of what it meant to be a soldier by the narrator and the fact that this movie place you in the head of the all the participant. Men, i just can't explain this movie is perfect. And of course it's because it have this tolstoi vision of war which places the individuals in the center hard to explain. Just listen Prince Andrei before Borodino battle when he talk with Pierre this is Tolstoi talking.
Count Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the legendary defense of Sevastopol. Crimean War. He also belonged to one of the famous, aristocratic families of Russia. Therefore, all the details described in the novel, he knew and felt very well. Therefore, the novel is recognized all over the world. As the most outstanding literary work of all time.
By the way, according to the book, Andrei was seriously wounded during the battle on the Borodino field. This was a real battle with Napoleon. Russian monuments and obelisks are kept on this field. Guderian’s tank troops advanced through Borodino. The Russians stopped them there. When I went on an excursion, I visited those places. In the bunkers, the year of birth and the names of the soldiers are scratched into the cement walls.
Back to my school days in Russia, all our class was taken to the cinema for the literature lesson to watch this masterpiece💖 Reading, studying and analysing this novel was compulsory when we were in year 9. The novel itself we were told to read during the holidays after year 8 /Russian summer holidays lasted 2 and half months from mid June /half June used to be exams/ to 1of September
Я читала этот роман полностью несколько раз: летом перед 8 классом, в 9 классе и перед вступительным сочинением в институт. Оторваться не могла. И каждый раз открывала для себя много нового. Последний раз упивалась началом 3 тома: Наполеон на берегу Немана, рассуждения Толстого.
@@ОльгаЛазарева-ф3м тоже читала роман за год до изучения в школе. Больше понравилось читать о войне. На следующий год читала, когда изучали "Войну и мир" в школе. Каждый раз роман играл новыми красками, нюансами
Viatcheslav Tikhonov était un excellent acteur, que j'ai découvert dans la série '17 moments de printemps' un chef-d'oeuvre dont il était l'acteur principal et qui m'a enchantée également, merci pour ces publications !
Have you watched the movie "They Fought for the Motherland"? In this film, Tikhonov and Bondarchuk play ordinary Russian soldiers who stood in the way of the Germans back in 1942.
Oh My Dear God..!! I have been seeking, searching, and wishing to find this in the full example, not silly bits and pieces. And here it be, just discoverd this.... Ypa..Ypa.. Ypa..!!!!!!! By the Mosfilm people them selfs are this channel..? THANK YOU RUSSIA, I LOVE YOU..!!!!!!!
Greetings to my brothers and sisters in Russia and in Ukraine: peace to all of you! Peace to my Yemeni and Saudi brothers and sisters and peace for all people anywhere on earth!
that's wonderful ! breathtaking ! when I saw this film in Paris in 1971, I was far from thinking that Soviet cinema could produce a film of such magnitude. Sergey Bondarchuk revolutionized cinema by introducing paint, each sequence is a Delacroix painting: the result is that the filmmaker not only equals Tolstoi, but goes further, to a level that will never be equaled by cinema again. even Akira Kurosawa, who devoted his film Ran (= war in old Japanese) as a tribute to color, did no better. Why was Sergey Bandarchuk so ignored? I'm not asking you.
THE greatest epic ever made. This is part 1. Total length is 7 hours. I hope the other parts will follow. Saw it a few months ago on Blu Ray and this quality is as good or maybe even better, with stereo dialogue. It has a unique stately style where often characters themselves narrate part of of scene or speak their thoughts out loud and it takes a while to adapt to the style and relate the subtitles to the correct speaker. It’s an emotional beautiful romantic story of love and tragedy, and also a realisation of Napoleons greatest battles featuring a cast of many thousands. For Sergei Bondarchuck to take on the role of the male lead and the role of Directing this monumental epic, and creating such a masterpiece, is pure genius. Watch and try to take it all in. No other movie reaches into your heart and soul as this movie does. THIS film, at about 7 hours long, and 2001: A Space Odyssey are the two greatest movies that will ever be made. They will never be surpassed. (UK)
In part, this film is conveyed like a book. As if from the author, conveying to those who watch what the character thinks or worries. Tolstoy conveyed the torments and thoughts of his characters very well.
I've been searching for this for ages. Thank you so much for allowing us to take part in Tolstoy's epic novel. The film is beautifully shot and the narration in between is so poetic. This is as close as it can get to the novel. Bolshoye spasibo!
да в 4K смотрится круто конечно... надо будет еще раз пересмотреть... в общем всех ценителей шедевров русской литературы и советского кино с Новым Годом! make Peace not War!
Too just add to my comment. If you have read War and Peace this film is spell binding. So true to the atmosphere of the book. Amazing when you consider its 1200 pages or so.
I saw it 5x in Bloomsbury Square cinema in 1974. It lasted 7 hours(!), beginning at 12 midnight. I was hooked. There was always a bit when I fell asleep, usually when Petya is shot, & I was awakened by his Mother's demented screaming.
Thank you very much for sharing this GREAT PRODUCTION with others who might not have been able to get to experience it otherwise, in this cinematic format.
Awesome movie. Leo Tolstoy is such an awakened soul. Amazing. Love him. The writer and director and the cinematography team did such an awesome job, this film is truly amazing. Awards fall short of its glory.
I'm currently 100 pages into reading the novel (roughly covered within the first 45 minutes) and I'm struck at how well it translated, the dialogue especially which remains largely unchanged! I'll use these films as a companion piece as I read. Reading 100 pages then watching the same length of the film adaptation seems like a good rhythm, and will keep me motivated to finish this behemoth of a novel!
On page 980 now :) Been reading at a deliberately slow pace, doing some extra research into many of the battles, historical figures and the geography of 19th century Europe! I honestly don't want it to end
Thank you for this. Watched it with my mum and sister when i was a kid here in NZ on TV, around 1985. I wasnt allowed to watch american crap tv as a 8 or 10 year old, but I could watch any war film and saw some amazing, quality stuff. Godfather, I and this. Turned me into a horrible film snob and im grateful.
The indomitable Russian spirit depicted in this monumental work of cinematic art inspired many directors in following decades, especially Jackson’s Lord of the Rings🌹
The fact that this was the Soviet Union's first Oscar win is amazing and it's the longest film to ever win an Oscar in general, seven hours War and Peace is.
The first Oscar winner was a Soviet newsreel about the defeat of the Germans near Moscow in November-December 1941. In the American box office the film was called "Battle for Moscow".
I love Russian movies and its country. Nowadays, Russian films are way better than most Hollywood movies. Something about Russian films so deep, emotional, touching and feel real. Exceptional!

@ zargonfuture4046 I prefer this adaptation. However, the 2016 BBC version (it is on YT) is a good introduction to the novel. It covers the main parts.
For your information - the producer Sergey Bondarchuk played Pier Bezuhov, his real life wife was the actress Irina Skobzeva who played Elen / so they were married in real life and on the big screen as well 💖
Very deep philosophical novel and great sophisticated film ! Sad that the scenery we live today is so vastly different. The events of 1812 and life of people seems to be filled with meaning and creation unlike today !!! What a scary change in 200 years !!!

Actor Vladislav Strzhelchik creates such an amazing image of Emperor Napoleon. Just the way he sits on his horse is like a painting of Napoleon coming to life. He may have been the closest in resemblance (based on portraits of course) to Napoleon that I’d had ever seen. Hollywood has also created some fine adaptions of Napoleon such as Rod Steiger, Herbert Lom and Marlon Brando. The jury is still out on Joaquin Phoenix.
You can tell they filmed in actual palaces instead of using stage sets and props. It makes all the difference in the world! Beautiful! Try watching any other adaptation of this work after you watch this and everything else looks cheap and crappy by comparison… what am I saying? There’s no comparison! One of the greatest films ever made, if not the greatest? I can never get over how grand, beautiful and epic this movie truly is! Ahhh… Well done!❤Bravo! Bravo!🎊

One of Russia's greatest authors meets one of Russia's greatest directors, in a film that never loses its freshness, and the only result of which can be a piece of Russian- and world- cinematic history!...

Hey look over there- its some one not redirecting everything to a posture about the current thing! Quick, get them, they have to be stopped
@@corneliuscapitalinus845 Look, I have read War and Peace and I have seen this massive film at least 6 times, including when it was first released (with horrible dubbing). It is one of the great movies based on one of the great books of Western Civilization.
In a novel with many, many threads - including the very meaning of life - Tolstoy's key message was that good people should combine to do good - just as bad people combine to do bad things. Specifically, the historical focus is of a single man whose imperial ambitions lead to war, invasion, destruction and the deaths of tens of thousands. Tolstoy's message and warnings apply as much today as when we wrote his book.
Bondarchuk was Ukrainian lol
Does it make you nostalgic?
My mother took me to see this film when i was twelve in 1968. Took two days. Still a very strong memory of mine. Of course, I got the book afterwards.
What a marvelous mother you have!
My mum took my sister 6 and me 12 to see Hollywood version (that's all that was available then) of War and Peace.
Too good to be true, a masterpiece to be watched for free. Thank so much.
ВTo talk about the truth of Tolstoy, you need to be born in Russia. When I was little, I went to Borodino.

Count Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the legendary defense of Sevastopol. Crimean War. He also belonged to one of the famous, aristocratic families of Russia. Therefore, all the details described in the novel, he knew and felt very well. Therefore, the novel is recognized all over the world. As the most outstanding literary work of all time.
I agree. Well said.
Yes Crimea has been part of Russia since 18th century and Russians fought many wars for it. I only wonder someone thinks Russia would ever leave Crimean peninsula
@@Jakubescu Crimea was a part of a lot of counties and people.
Yea and I thought captain tushkin’s character is inspired from that
@@nathaliek798 🐷🪦
In my opinion, the gold standard for a film of War and Peace.
in my opinion no other version even comes close.
that is obvious
Only Russians can present the atmosphere of this Tolstoy's masterpiece. I am from Poland and I feel Russian spirit in this film, nothing more. The other versions are just movies.
…THE REAL THING ! A never forgotten masterpiece.
This is a brilliant and entertaining movie. Tolstoy's War & Peace is a masterpiece about human nature. I guess the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics can make a great film. With the Communist Politburo backing money was no object. The battle field scenes and the acting are world class. This film is one of my favorites of all time and all genre. Bravo the people of Russia.
Bravo to the Soviet people. This film is an effort of the entire multinational people.
Thank you very much ❤️
This is a culture where money is not the first and only criterion. That's why they have such superior art.
@@ninanovak1404 They had some excellent artists, that is for sure. Bondarchuk, Shostakovich, Klimov, etc. Many others weren't exactly on good terms with the Party, and they suffered for it. And comparatively the collective capitalist West has probably produced many more masterpieces. Compare the buildings of old Czech Republic to the disgusting concrete brutalist tumors that everyone hates, or how the historic city of Most went from being ranked as one of the prettiest in the country, to the ugliest after the Soviets bulldozed it. Similar things happened in Poland and the Baltics.
@@Ivan-bk9xsэтот фильм - шедевр, которому нет равных в мире и вы это прекрасно понимаете. А уродливых бетонных зданий хватает во всем мире. При чем здесь СССР и коммунисты?
A towering cinematic achievement. The acting, the drama, the cinematography - all to the highest standard. This movie will never be equalled. No CGI back then, just thousands of Red Army soldiery, posing as Napoleonic Russian and French soldiery - you could tell by the march discipline. Superb.
During this period, the army was called Soviet.
The same Director would then direct the equally great Waterloo (1970) movie. Both films can never be made today.
@@inisipisTVBondarchuk, who directed "War and Peace" and played the role of Pierre, made another film about the Second World War. This film was called "They Fought for the Motherland"
I read the book and the movie follows Tolstoy's work very faithfully. Some spoken dialogue is word for word. A bit disjointed in some scenes due to the length of the movie and the magnitude of the book. If one is familiar with the book, one can fill in the blanks. It is a truly amazing masterpiece. With a cast of thousands; the incredible scenery and costuming are very authentic. A great work of art.
I'm currently reading this book, the 2012 Signet Classics edition which based on book reviews is the best translation. I am already on the last book Book4 and let me say that this is THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. Leo Tolstoy is a master in the development of his characters. The way he lets you get into their emotions and thinking is in my opinion unparalleled. I am glad I gave myself this challenge . Truly a bucket list accomplished. How excited I am to see it in moving pictures. From Philippines 🇵🇭 here.
I tried 3-4 times but never got pass page1,000 plus.
Yeah, I had never read Tolstoy before and decided to finally give this book a try. It's a long work, but the character development is amazing and Tolstoy combines philosophy, religion, history, the psychosis of human natures, all into one work. It's a masterpiece. I used to say that Lonesome Dove was the greatest novel All respect to Larry McMurtry, but Tolstoy is just on another level. I've read The Idiot as well. I liked the work, but the character development and the many themes in War and Peace is what puts Tolstoy's work far above Dostoevsky's novel. (Sorry if I got the latter writer's name spelled wrong.)
It is the best book I have ever read in my life. Who is the translator of your edition?
@@Scott-hh3gh Try reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoi. I have read it many times. My Czech father gave me the book when I was only 14 and it has been my favorite book ever since. Also a master piece but not quite as long.
@@Ludmillawings. I don't like Karenina, it's a line chicklit written by genius. But I love Soldier Schweik.
With sublime hypnotic cinematography and cinematic technique, intimate scenes and panoramic vistas equally luminous and radiating, incomparable battlegrounds, sonic sound effects, superior set design, elegant jewelry and costumes, elaborate set decorations, perfect direction and titanic length running time, this totally towering achievement is like easily definitely the best movie ever made by anyone anywhere.
Великий фильм! Великолепные актеры, какая игра! Преклоняюсь перед талантливейшим режиссером С.Бондарчуком. Царство небесное и вечная память всем создателям фильма, а также всем русским солдатам, кровью которых полита земля европы.
This is The Greatest Film Adaption of any novel ever created. The Soviet Union took their beloved epic “War and Peace” very seriously. The heart and soul of Russia and it’s people is well represented in these films.
Work on the film was carried out for about seven years (of which three years were given to shooting the serie "1812"). The picture is considered one of the most expensive in the history of cinema. The budget of the film adaptation was estimated at $ 100 million at 1967 prices (or 560 million in 2007). During the filming, Bondarchuk had serious health problems: in the summer of 1964, he suffered a severe heart attack, which caused filming to be suspended for a month and a half. The director suffered the second attack after the premiere. The film crew has prepared thoroughly for the film adaptation of the novel. Fifty museums of the country have provided their collections for the film - so that the characters and the setting correspond to the era as much as possible. More than four dozen enterprises produced costumes (there were nine thousand of them), exact copies of awards, snuffboxes, carts, weapons and even 200 thousand buttons. Lomonosov Porcelain Factory recreated a large dining set for the film based on drawings of the XVIII century. 150 wagons with equipment were delivered to Transcarpathia, where the Shengraben and Austerlitz battles were filmed. Three thousand soldiers of the Carpathian military District of the Soviet Army were involved in the filming. The main battle scene was filmed in the Dnieper valley, near Dorogobuzh - this place is very similar in relief to Borodino. A huge number of people were involved in the crowd: two armies, Russian and French, portrayed 15 thousand infantrymen, 950 cavalrymen. In the "battle" 40 thousand liters of kerosene, 23 tons of explosives, 15 thousand hand smoke grenades, two thousand checkers and one and a half thousand shells were spent. The extras got used to the image every day: they built, went on the attack, practiced fighting techniques. The film crew managed to create a feeling on the screen without special effects that not 15, but 120 thousand people took part in the battle.

Absolutely. The Soviet Union had a huge respect towards Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte
This movie the 1967 version is better than the new one lol
Считаю экранизацию Бондарчука шедевром.Ни кто так глубоко не смог передать глубину произведения Толстого.С блеском показана разница петербургского(столичного,холодного,циничного)общества и московского(радушного,хлебосольного,простого в манерах,что так свойственно ИСТИННО русской душе)
Ну,а настоящим героем фильма,как и всего произведения, является РУССКИЙ НАРОД.
Великолепна игра ВСЕХ актеров.Невозможно выделить лучшего.
По размаху фильм можно сравнить с "Унесенными ветром",который также считаю шедевром АМЕРИКАНСКОГО кино.К сожалению,в современное время,такие фильмы уже не снимают.
War and Peace from 1967 is like the single greatest achievement within the entire history of motion pictures and has been my favorite film ever made ever since i first discovered it during my teens back in the 1980s and really only David Leans Lawrence Of Arabia from 1962, Sergei Bondarchucks other historical epic Waterloo from 1970, Akira Kurosawas Ran from 1985 can cinematically compare and perhaps a very few other films as well.
Ah... "Ran" 😍 The Japanese version of "King Lear", Masterpiece from the great Kurosawa...
among other things, Bondarchuk is also a great actor. To be convinced of this, just watch the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” In it, Andrei Volkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov appear as ordinary soldiers who stood in the way of the Germans.

トルストイの戦争と平和のなかで、主人公のひとりのアンドレイ公爵が戦傷による瀕死のなかで不思議な夢というか、呆然と現世とあの世の境にたちつくし、現世の有象無象の群衆のうごめき見て、その終わりに得体の知れない巨大な門を開くと闇のかなたに小さな光が見えるという描写がありました。 その不思議な夢から目覚めてアンドレイはひとの一生が終わるときこそ、生に対する目覚めのときでもあるという事を悟ってその短い人生を終えていくという、たいへん印象深いストーリー描写でしたが、ある意味、誰でも必ず訪れる宿命の死のなかにこそ、普遍的なるものがあるというところにトルストイは人生の意義を見いだしたのかなと感じましたね。

That bayonet charge depiction is the most authentive and historical we will ever see. Everything is perfect anyway but this is the cherry on the cake. And the explanation of what it meant to be a soldier by the narrator and the fact that this movie place you in the head of the all the participant. Men, i just can't explain this movie is perfect. And of course it's because it have this tolstoi vision of war which places the individuals in the center hard to explain. Just listen Prince Andrei before Borodino battle when he talk with Pierre this is Tolstoi talking.
Count Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the legendary defense of Sevastopol. Crimean War. He also belonged to one of the famous, aristocratic families of Russia. Therefore, all the details described in the novel, he knew and felt very well. Therefore, the novel is recognized all over the world. As the most outstanding literary work of all time.
By the way, according to the book, Andrei was seriously wounded during the battle on the Borodino field. This was a real battle with Napoleon. Russian monuments and obelisks are kept on this field. Guderian’s tank troops advanced through Borodino. The Russians stopped them there. When I went on an excursion, I visited those places. In the bunkers, the year of birth and the names of the soldiers are scratched into the cement walls.
Russian novels like War and Peace inspired me to study the Russian language.

The novel itself we were told to read during the holidays after year 8 /Russian summer holidays lasted 2 and half months from mid June /half June used to be exams/ to 1of September
И учили монолог Наташи Ростовой и Андрея про дуб НАИЗУСТЬ!
Gee that’s amazing. You would be hard pressed to get a westerner read it in year 9. Did you enjoy it or find it a chore?
Не в 9 лет, а в 9 классе. А это 15-16 лет.
Я читала этот роман полностью несколько раз: летом перед 8 классом, в 9 классе и перед вступительным сочинением в институт. Оторваться не могла. И каждый раз открывала для себя много нового. Последний раз упивалась началом 3 тома: Наполеон на берегу Немана, рассуждения Толстого.

Это один из тех фильмов, которые действительно можно назвать "кинокартина". Мощная масштабная глубокая картина о России и вообще о жизни, человеке.
that's wonderful ! breathtaking ! when I saw this film in Paris in 1971, I was far from thinking that Soviet cinema could produce a film of such magnitude. Sergey Bondarchuk revolutionized cinema by introducing paint, each sequence is a Delacroix painting: the result is that the filmmaker not only equals Tolstoi, but goes further, to a level that will never be equaled by cinema again. even Akira Kurosawa, who devoted his film Ran (= war in old Japanese) as a tribute to color, did no better. Why was Sergey Bandarchuk so ignored? I'm not asking you.
C'est parce que l'on t'a fait croire à la propagande anti soviétique de l'époque.

THE greatest epic ever made.
This is part 1. Total length is 7 hours. I hope the other parts will follow.
Saw it a few months ago on Blu Ray and this quality is as good or maybe even better, with stereo dialogue.
It has a unique stately style where often characters themselves narrate part of of scene or speak their thoughts out loud and it takes a while to adapt to the style and relate the subtitles to the correct speaker. It’s an emotional beautiful romantic story of love and tragedy, and also a realisation of Napoleons greatest battles featuring a cast of many thousands.
For Sergei Bondarchuck to take on the role of the male lead and the role of Directing this monumental epic, and creating such a masterpiece, is pure genius.
Watch and try to take it all in. No other movie reaches into your heart and soul as this movie does.
THIS film, at about 7 hours long, and
2001: A Space Odyssey
are the two greatest movies that will ever be made. They will never be surpassed. (UK)
@Praxis Of Logos get some bitches
I like it that you combined it with 2001 Space Odyssey. Probably my fvourite film of all time.
In part, this film is conveyed like a book. As if from the author, conveying to those who watch what the character thinks or worries. Tolstoy conveyed the torments and thoughts of his characters very well.
I've been searching for this for ages. Thank you so much for allowing us to take part in Tolstoy's epic novel. The film is beautifully shot and the narration in between is so poetic. This is as close as it can get to the novel. Bolshoye spasibo!

I saw it 5x in Bloomsbury Square cinema in 1974. It lasted 7 hours(!), beginning at 12 midnight. I was hooked.

What an amazing movie. They don't make anything like this these days.
I'm currently 100 pages into reading the novel (roughly covered within the first 45 minutes) and I'm struck at how well it translated, the dialogue especially which remains largely unchanged! I'll use these films as a companion piece as I read.

The indomitable Russian spirit depicted in this monumental work of cinematic art inspired many directors in following decades, especially Jackson’s Lord of the Rings🌹
The fact that this was the Soviet Union's first Oscar win is amazing and it's the longest film to ever win an Oscar in general, seven hours War and Peace is.
I think a Soviet documentary about siege of Leningrad won an Oscar during WWII
The first Oscar winner was a Soviet newsreel about the defeat of the Germans near Moscow in November-December 1941. In the American box office the film was called "Battle for Moscow".

Actor Vladislav Strzhelchik creates such an amazing image of Emperor Napoleon. Just the way he sits on his horse is like a painting of Napoleon coming to life. He may have been the closest in resemblance (based on portraits of course) to Napoleon that I’d had ever seen. Hollywood has also created some fine adaptions of Napoleon such as Rod Steiger, Herbert Lom and Marlon Brando. The jury is still out on Joaquin Phoenix.

Try watching any other adaptation of this work after you watch this and everything else looks cheap and crappy by comparison… what am I saying? There’s no comparison!
One of the greatest films ever made, if not the greatest?
I can never get over how grand, beautiful and epic this movie truly is! Ahhh…
Well done!❤Bravo! Bravo!🎊
