A true masterpiece. The fact that this film did a much better job at portraying Napoleon than Ridley Scott's new Napoleon film says a lot about film making then and now.
....something tells me a lot of horses died making that film....Flynn almost quit the picture..."The Charge of the Light Brigade"....because of something like that.....
@@frankpienkosky5688 I assure you the horses are fine, I think they got stress from pyrotechnics. In a country with a planned economy, horses will not be ruined. They will not beat and break equipment. For this reason, a lot of Soviet detectives are boring, there are almost no chases, and accidents are filmed absurdly. Beat already broken or decommissioned cars. No one will give horses to slaughter for the sake of the film. After all, this is a national economy. In addition, a cinematic cavalry regiment will be created in the future.
After so many movies over many ages, USA, Europe, the other areas, no movie can touch this in its scale, perfect realisation, imagery, characterisation and all aspects of professional work, the casting, acting, script, unmatched outdoor huge setting, the whole atmosphere, feel, soul. It is truly the best huge movie...
No question that this movie is a masterpiece of cinematic art. Can you imagine a Hollywood studio today making anything approaching it’s feeling for authenticity? By comparison it would be a joke.
This has gotta be one of the finest battle sequences ever put to film. Bondarchuk is a genius, between this war & peace series and waterloo I think he has the claim to the greatest napoleonic battles ever filmed.
i'm with you! love this movie and i have the "war and peace" series on bluray. waterloo i watch here on YT but through my tv. hey, are you looking forward to "Napoleon" ?......or is that a stupid question? i'm thinking Phoenix will be amazing as Napoleon - and i don't see how Ridley Scott doesn't deliver on the battle scenes.
This was something I always loved about the seven hour Soviet adaptation, the locations for battle scenes look like actual battlefields, not some weird ass golf courses like in the 1956 Hollywood Adaptation.
No CGI can animate every little detail of thousands of soldiers and horses fighting. The fire and the explosion looked so real that CGI could not reproduce. The amount of resources used in this film is simply not replicable in a capitalist society. No capitalist company will give 6 years for a CGI team to animate a film. They get 6 months most likely. 😂
Un classique ! Le véritable cinéma russe, attentif aux moindres détails dans une interprétation magnifique ! Le chef d'oeuvre de Sergueï Bondartchouk. Chapeau l'Artiste ! Merci pour le partage !
They're is simply no comparison for a war film of any epoch... this is it...emotion, pain, glory, failure the way Bandurchuk tells the tale of Napoleon's conquest the beauty of his ambition its horror for everyone in the way of what he dreams of and those who support the Emperor and those who don't all are broken by it. A perfect film.
yes!! i thought how the hell could that be all worked out and filmed.it looks like every man knew his part and played it out.did they have people up in towers with loud speakers shouting group number 6 run and fall? just the horses must have been a almost impossible to keep working like that.long parts just went on and on with no breaks in the filming.the fly overs must have been worked out in detail months in advance.
@wetcanoedogs I can tell they shot every expensive scene many times. Each time, all those actors had to coordinate. Each time, the explosion has to occur at the same time. The wired drone has to be perfect to capture those scenes. The rail too has to move in a perfect order. The scenes which the French calvary attacking the squares looked like it has 10,000 actors. The shot was done on a helicopter.
56:45 I love his apprehensiveness and how he struggles with horrors and widespread despair and desolations everywhere and anywhere around him, Prince Andrei is a very deep character excellently portrayed in this fantastic movie.
Pre-CGI films actually put in the effort to re-create crowd-heavy scenes in contrast to the lazy copypaste seen in most modern films. They also didn't put random blue filters that nobody asked for on the entire footage.The enthronement scene The Last Emperor is another great example of pre-CGI cinema.
The magnitude of this undertaking, and the total commitment by everyone involved, produced an epic masterpiece of filmmaking and storytelling. Tolstoy was a literary genius. Thank you. Mosfilm is a treasure trove of incredible art.
Borodino was an epic and shattering experience watched on my phone. I can barely imagine what these scenes would be like on the big screen. Thank you Mosfilm.
Also it's epic knowing what they achieved with 15,000 extras,while real battle had about 220,000 soldiers in total committed to the fight,and both sides still had about 50,000 each in reserve.I can only try to imagine what a sight it really was seeing entire field full of soldiers even with much more than the movie depicted.
Every year in Borodino they hold a battle from those times. At Borodino there were battles not only with the French. In Borodino there were battles with Nazi Germany. There are long-term firing points there from 1941.
So impressive this film. a monumental work of art!!! I visited Moscow and Leningrad when a teenager, that was mid 70's. Each of them is splendid in its own way. I hope Panorama Borodino is still there!... When you think how arrogant Napoleon was... And what was left of his Grande Armee of 600.000? Barely 10.000 at the end of the Russian campaign. This huge war effort to defend their country gave the world one of the two best novels ever written(the other one being of course Anna Karenina). Many thanks again to those who made this masterpiece available on RUclips!
@@jhtsurvival Napoleon defeated the Russians in all battles: Smolensk.Borodino.Maloyaroslavets.Even in a critical situation on Berezina, he deceived the Russians and managed to escape from imminent defeat.But He lost the whole company.

Opera cinematografica monumentale di inestimabile valore storico per i posteri, ma soprattutto un monito universale contro quella cieca follia di tutte le guerre che annichilisce il valore supremo della vita di ogni singolo essere umano.
Один великий человек, ещё более ста лет назад писал: "Войны со всеми их бедствиями порождает капитализм, который порабощает миллионы трудящихся, обостряет борьбу между нациями и превращает рабов капитала в пушечное мясо. Только всемирная социалистическая армия революционного пролетариата в состоянии положить конец этому угнетению и порабощению масс, этим бойням рабов ради интересов рабовладельцев." В. И. Ленин
Incredible, when Prince Andrei and Anatole meet, their look, you can read in their eyes without a single word: “I’m sorry for what I have done to you and Natasha, forgive-me, I’m so sorry” “Natasha, why? Why it hurts so much, still...I wish you were here with me, are you well, Natasha? Are you safe, what will happen to you? I’m so sorry I will die without see you again...”
I love the French marching music, it’s the ‘march of the consular guard at marengo’ theme for those wondering I also think those Russian officer uniforms are beautiful

That thunderous crossing of Nieman river by French reminds me of Mordor's forces going out of Minas Morgul in Peter Jackson's LOTR towards Gondor.I wonder did it also partially inspire him for his movie. Also,although much older than Pier would have actually been in the book,Sergey Bondarchuk did his role quite well as him.Really felt his feeling of helplessness and constantly being led by others despite being "blessed" as son of wealthy count.Him going to battlefield seems as some kind of attempt at escaping that strangle of social life at capital.
It reminds me epilog scene of Witcher 2, when the Nilfgaard armies crossing Yaruga by perspective of peasants who see all this military might going to them
Only a great country could create a great film. Wars are repeated with systematic periodicity. But it is impossible to create such a movie a second time.
क्यूँ होते हैं ये युद्ध? लेकिन परिवर्तन बिन युद्ध संभव भी तो नहीं। शायद विनाश में ही निर्माण का अंकुर प्रस्फुटित होता है। शायद सर टोलस्तोय यही कहना चाहते हों इस पार्ट के climax में। बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद आपको, इस अतुल्य कृति को चलचित्र के रूप में दिखाने के लिए।
Remember this is the most expensive movie in history. Budget was 1 billion US dollars in today's money, no studio can afford this. Army was ordered to send 15.000 soldiers as extras for 3 months. 1500 horses were used. All museums in country were ordered to provide historic items for the movie. all that is impossible to achieve today. Only movie with Napoleonic theme similar to this is Abel Gance's 1927 epic Napoleon with budget that great, that only 1 movie (9 hours long in its final form) from 6 was filmed.
But here's what they forgot to add. This is because a wide film film was specially created for the film about the Borodino struggle. For Bondarchuk I wanted to make something like a panorama from the Tretyakov Gallery. In the USSR, before this film, the film was the kind that is visible, for example, at 50:31, not
Here a logical question arises: What kind of power are the Soviets? And we learn that the Soviets are the power of labor collectives. That is, labor collectives nominate deputies from their ranks and pay deputies the average salary that they received in an institution or at a factory. These deputies in the Councils solve strategic tasks: Fostering culture among the population, storming space, banning plastic bags and pasuda...
The cinematography is the best I have seen. It is truly a lost art. Today everyone is trying to shine flashlights in your eyes. Everyone cuts every half second. Everything looks fake. The characters are a little difficult to relate to, sure, the script long and not very subtle. But it is truly an experience.
Bondarchuk's War and Peace is easily one of the greatest films ever made both in scope, and in depth. I saw its four consecutive parts in several sittings in Chicago, when it first came out, and again several years ago, here in San Francisco @ our beloved Castro, in the Castro. The audience -- who were re-seeing it after many years, and those who were encountering it for the first time were spellbound for over seven hours. Bondarchuk was a great, and beloved Russian / Soviet actor who can be seen in @ least one other Mosfilm picture, Uncle Vanya, where he plays opposite other great actors and actresses of his own generation, including Innokenti Smoktunovsky, who played both Hamlet ( with its Shostakovich score ), and Tchaikovsky, in those eponymous films.
Napoleón más tarde, después de todas las batallas, pronunció palabras históricas: "De todas mis batallas, la más terrible es la que di cerca de Moscú. Los franceses se mostraron dignos de la victoria, y los rusos se ganaron la gloria de los invencibles".
More than fifty years on, there is still nothing in film that matches the icon procession for sincerity and passion. The closing seconds around 37:20 are beyond magnificent….
Я не смотрел фильм Ридли Скотта, но наткнулся на ролик из его фильма про Бородино и сразу захотелось посмотреть фильм 1966г. Впервые посмотрел этот шедевр, я думаю Ридли Скотт и рядом не стоит с маэстро Бондарчуком. И документальные фильмы про съёмки фильма, не знал, что фильм снимался 6 лет. Из всех военных фильмов этот самый эпичный и восхитительный.

I find it charming and hilarious that Bezukhov just barges in there and shares to the officers what he thinks about their positions after seeing him being poked fun of for being there by the soldiers.
Не имамы иныя помощи, не имамы иные надежды, разве Тебе, Владычице. Ты нам помози, на Тебе надеемся и Тобою хвалимся, Твои бо есмы рабы, да не постыдимся. Молебен Пресвятой Богородице очень сильная сцена.
Napoleon didn't lack I suppose, for personal bravery. He began as an artillery man and was so accustomed to a world of guns, cannon ball and consequence - and he certainly didn't spare Europe the experience either.
A great depiction of the battle ,however I would have liked some sort of narration on the actual battle .An explanation as to why the French are doing what they are doing and the russian response was maybe two staff officers in discussion but the real horror of Napoleonic warfare is portrayed brilliantly
The book describes the whole battle, the tactics leading up to it and the personal thinking of the commanders, soldiers and bystanders on both sides, so you should definitely read it. This film is as close to it as anyone will ever get - but only visually.
It doesn’t actually matter if you don’t understand it. Tolstoy’s whole point was that it was an utterly confusing, catastrophic event, and no general , however brilliant, not even Napoleon, could actually claim he knew how to control it. It all hinged on hundreds of small random occurences of bravery or cowardice….
Check 1960 movie Austerlitz. There is narration without actual battle, as movie was filmed in studio. There are generals and officers pointing somewhere and describing what is happening, but we dont see it.
Thank you for this wonderful channel! I was wondering if you guys were in possession of "Don Quixote (1957)", the Soviet drama film directed by Grigori Kozintsev. I heard many people praising that movie as the definitive Don Quixote experience and it would be amazing to be able to finally find it in good quality.
Козинцев великий режиссер, но более ценные его работы это экранизации Шекспира Король лир и Гамлет. Это настоящие шедевры с великими актерами советского кино.
Battle scenes look so real even nowadays. I totally forgot the film was shot long time ago. So real it is unbearable to watch but impossible not to watch.

Scott had in his earlier films only1% of extras you see here.Impressive numbers and horses were harmed doing this.

Although Tolstoy certainly judged Napoleon, Bondarchuk merely 'shows' him, compact, confident, scary little so snd so that he was.

My favorite movie since I first saw it in 2007
Remember this is the most expensive movie in history. Budget was 1 billion US dollars in today's money, no studio can afford this. Army was ordered to send 15.000 soldiers as extras for 3 months. 1500 horses were used. All museums in country were ordered to provide historic items for the movie. all that is impossible to achieve today. Only movie with Napoleonic theme similar to this is Abel Gance's 1927 epic Napoleon with budget that great, that only 1 movie (9 hours long in its final form) from 6 was filmed.
15k extras is nothing. Just pay 1k per month for 3months. And you can 3d print weapons lol
exactly only the soviet union with all the resources made this possible
in modern money the film cost $136,46275,307.
But here's what they forgot to add. This is because a wide film film was specially created for the film about the Borodino struggle. For Bondarchuk I wanted to make something like a panorama from the Tretyakov Gallery. In the USSR, before this film, the film was the kind that is visible, for example, at 50:31, not
Here a logical question arises: What kind of power are the Soviets? And we learn that the Soviets are the power of labor collectives. That is, labor collectives nominate deputies from their ranks and pay deputies the average salary that they received in an institution or at a factory. These deputies in the Councils solve strategic tasks: Fostering culture among the population, storming space, banning plastic bags and pasuda...
Oops, there they are after all! My bad. Thanks for making this great film available to people everywhere.
Absolutely superb. Thank you Mosfilm
Leo tolstoy will always be remembered. Great russian movie🇷🇺☦️
Вы правы, только фильм - советский
Wow! What a spectacular film! They certainly don’t make movies like this anymore to our collective detriment.
I do not know who you mean by the word "they", but in my opinion no one else has made, is not making, and will not make such films.

This film truly captures the horrors of war, and that makes it hard to watch.
You get a sense of how great this will be from the march past the ancient tree in the first scene.
The cinematography is the best I have seen. It is truly a lost art. Today everyone is trying to shine flashlights in your eyes. Everyone cuts every half second. Everything looks fake. The characters are a little difficult to relate to, sure, the script long and not very subtle. But it is truly an experience.
Excellent, absolutely riveting depiction.
Bondarchuk's War and Peace is easily one of the greatest films ever made both in scope, and in depth.
I saw its four consecutive parts in several sittings in Chicago, when it first came out, and again several years ago, here in San Francisco @ our beloved Castro, in the Castro. The audience -- who were re-seeing it after many years, and those who were encountering it for the first time were spellbound for over seven hours.
Bondarchuk was a great, and beloved Russian / Soviet actor who can be seen in @ least one other Mosfilm picture, Uncle Vanya, where he plays opposite other great actors and actresses of his own generation, including Innokenti Smoktunovsky, who played both Hamlet ( with its Shostakovich score ), and Tchaikovsky, in those eponymous films.
Lev Tolstoy, Sergei Bondarchuk, actors contributed to Eternity
Thanx for sharing. Watching from Northern Germany ✨🌈👨🎨🌈✨

Je n'ai jamais vu un film de ce niveau, à tous points de vue !
this is truly a masterpiece. both the book and the film are phenomenal - they are the heritage of all humanity
Poor horses. Brave horses. They are the true heroes.
😢😢😢😢
Такой прием в фильмах - несущиеся куда попало лошади без всадников . Комиссар, фильм. Где-то ещё видела ...а, Верные друзья .
01:02:12 Before I sink, Into the big sleep, I want to hear, I want to hear, the scream of my stunt horse, Listen to the scream of the grey stunt horse
Napoleón más tarde, después de todas las batallas, pronunció palabras históricas: "De todas mis batallas, la más terrible es la que di cerca de Moscú. Los franceses se mostraron dignos de la victoria, y los rusos se ganaron la gloria de los invencibles".
More than fifty years on, there is still nothing in film that matches the icon procession for sincerity and passion. The closing seconds around 37:20 are beyond magnificent….
Part 3 of the greatest film ever made, and it may be even sharper than my Blu Ray?
Я не смотрел фильм Ридли Скотта, но наткнулся на ролик из его фильма про Бородино и сразу захотелось посмотреть фильм 1966г. Впервые посмотрел этот шедевр, я думаю Ридли Скотт и рядом не стоит с маэстро Бондарчуком. И документальные фильмы про съёмки фильма, не знал, что фильм снимался 6 лет. Из всех военных фильмов этот самый эпичный и восхитительный.

When, I had a week off from work I read this. It's a good book. It helped that had taken notes about the characters and their relationships as I read it.
you took reading this book very seriously, it is very correct
Chiến tranh và Hòa bình

Tôi đã đọc tác phẩm của ông từ năm tôi 12 tuổi...cho tới bây giờ tôi vẫn yêu quý nhất nền văn học Nga...
Khi xem phim này tâm hồn tôi lại hướng về nước Nga ,về người Mẹ hiền Nga ở cách xa Vn tôi ngàn trùng dặm
Người Nga- một dân tộc anh hùng ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Wonderful!!!
Absolutely amazing!
I find it charming and hilarious that Bezukhov just barges in there and shares to the officers what he thinks about their positions after seeing him being poked fun of for being there by the soldiers.
Old films are superior and that’s it.
Gotta love the craziness of this battle. Borodino, what a legend.
Huy hacia tanto que no la veia, este es mi episodio favorito. Gracias por el aporte
Не имамы иныя помощи, не имамы иные надежды, разве Тебе, Владычице. Ты нам помози, на Тебе надеемся и Тобою хвалимся, Твои бо есмы рабы, да не постыдимся.
Молебен Пресвятой Богородице очень сильная сцена.
The shot of Napoleon kicking away the cannon ball is badass. Nudging fate aside with his jackboot.
It's the funniest comedy relief of the entire battle
Napoleon didn't lack I suppose, for personal bravery. He began as an artillery man and was
so accustomed to a world of guns, cannon ball
and consequence - and he certainly didn't spare
Europe the experience either.
A great depiction of the battle ,however I would have liked some sort of narration on the actual battle .An explanation as to why the French are doing what they are doing and the russian response was maybe two staff officers in discussion but the real horror of Napoleonic warfare is portrayed brilliantly
The book describes the whole battle, the tactics leading up to it and the personal thinking of the commanders, soldiers and bystanders on both sides, so you should definitely read it. This film is as close to it as anyone will ever get - but only visually.
L. Tolstoy. Read
It doesn’t actually matter if you don’t understand it. Tolstoy’s whole point was that it was an utterly confusing, catastrophic event, and no general , however brilliant, not even Napoleon, could actually claim he knew how to control it. It all hinged on hundreds of small random occurences of bravery or cowardice….
Check 1960 movie Austerlitz. There is narration without actual battle, as movie was filmed in studio. There are generals and officers pointing somewhere and describing what is happening, but we dont see it.
This is not a chronological film and that is not its purpose.
Masterpiece!
Thank you Mosfilm.
Great. Please, add links to the other parts.
Know how to use search?
"Who is doing this to us? Nobody. The System."
Absolutely correct 😎
Best of the Best!
Borodino.. the Russian glory. This film is a beautiful beautiful thing. I wish to live it. Maybe I did..
You wouldn't want to live it.
If anyone thinks war Is glorious they should watch this movie . It’s hell.
Thank you for this wonderful channel! I was wondering if you guys were in possession of "Don Quixote (1957)", the Soviet drama film directed by Grigori Kozintsev. I heard many people praising that movie as the definitive Don Quixote experience and it would be amazing to be able to finally find it in good quality.
Советский кинематограф и советское искусство, это лучшее, что было у нас
Козинцев великий режиссер, но более ценные его работы это экранизации Шекспира Король лир и Гамлет. Это настоящие шедевры с великими актерами советского кино.
Watching this masterpiece again.
Big fan of historical fiction. ❤
It's not fantastic 😓
@@Telmaandl6видимо он родился позже событий фильма и не застал их
Ты чё несешь😂😂😂 как может быть историческая да ещё фантастика😂😂😂😂😂,😢😢😢
@@Telmaandl6я в шоке историческая фантастика😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢
Just let you know, one of the greaters directors in cinema history plays role of Pierre Bezuhov...
I love the detail of the death bell in the start of the battle representing a grave
Incredible movie, extremely amazing
Battle scenes look so real even nowadays. I totally forgot the film was shot long time ago. So real it is unbearable to watch but impossible not to watch.
We are waiting for part four
Una maravilla de película!
Muchas gracias ❤
