Just a quick thing, Napoleon never shot the pyramids so dont worry. He was a devout student and respectful of history and civilizations. The battle of the pyramids happened like 10 miles away from the pyramids. The trailer and movie shows hollywood doing hollywood.
@@gundarvarr1024 You are right it's not a documentary but the thing is that unfortunately many people don't know the real history of what is shown in a movie like this and take it as a the real story that happened, take "Braveheart" for example which is half fiction but presented as the real story of the historical William Wallace. i really appreciate a director who makes a real effort to make an historical movie as accurate as possible, why add stuff that never happened when the real history is often more amazing then fiction, i hope Ridley Scott chose history over fictional drama, in any case it looks like another masterpiece.
@@elifineart The problem then lies with that stupid people who takes movie as documentary. And again this a SHOW not Documentary, the purpose is to ENJOY not research.
Movies are strictly entertainment, if someone isn’t aware of the true history behind a movie it’s because their ignorant and they don’t want to take the time to research, that isn’t to the fault of the director. If someone takes a movie as fact they are naive and only have themselves to blame. Movies are art, not education. And if you really want to pick at it Napoleon didn’t speak English or have and American accent.
People don't realize Napoleon's enormous impact and momentum on the world we live in today. "Men of genius are meteors destined to burn to illuminate their century." - Napoleon Bonaparte 1769-1821 Strength and honor. Forever, glory to the Emperor !!
Napoleon is my favorite historical character because he is a mix between Madara and Itachi the most badass person in history they did not hesitate to kill if we prevent him from realizing it's idea without him there would always be slaves always slaves noble and bourgeois with social class Napoleon was against the rule that children inherit a country just because he was a prince for him had to be competent broken all his in France and in Europe and indirectly in the world it is for its that he is hated by many people at the time even today there is a lot of propaganda to jump it's idea of freedom he created so many things like school for all children hospitals for everyone the right to choose a job because we have talent or skills before we could not a peasant remain a peasant except in exceptional cases even if there were intellectual or physical capacities superior to others because we always favored the noble ones Bourgois and the priests I'm not even talking to you about the kings... Napoleon was a visionary he was a very arrogant genius and his past is not the type of behavior at the time even today in real life to give you an idea he has even predicts that one day China will be the most powerful country in the world its a lot of laughter from kings and intellectuals who use propaganda to belittle it as for its size or make them mean so that their people do not adhere not at it's word or its truth
Don’t worry, this will be released exclusively in theatres before it hits Apple TV+ a couple of months later. Apple is getting extremely serious about cinema, and they’ve recently officially committed to spending $1B every year on wide theatrical releases. It starts this year, with both Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon being released this fall. Both look absolutely gorgeous and show that Apple isn’t messing around.
Fun fact... French was not Napoleon's first language. An Italian dialect, called Corsa, was his native tongue. He started learning French when he was ten years old and spoke it with a thick Corsican accent his entire life.
Slightly inaccurate, I am French, born in Corsica! "The oldest written testimonies by Napoleon Bonaparte prove it: as a teenager, he wrote in an honorable French, despite a sometimes fanciful spelling that he will keep all his life (for example, otorized for authorized). The rules of the French language are not so fixed and known by all those who write at the end of the 18th century. Where the population is mostly illiterate (60% of French do not know how to write their name). The island has just passed under French rule after five centuries under Genoese authority. Corsicans speak a dialect of their own as well as a cousin, the Genoese, propagated by the power of the Republic of Genoa in this geographical area. These two regional languages also have Tuscan influences, especially in writing. Her mother did not speak French in writing (Napoleon wrote for her mother after her father’s death) and the various testimonies of the people who knew her mother prove that she would retain all her life a rather groping use of the language of Molière, accompanied by a strong accent. Charles Bonaparte, who studied law in Corte, on the other hand, speaks and writes about it, as evidenced by his numerous written and oral representations to the French royal authorities, particularly to have the family nobility recognized. However, this instruction by the Frenchman, pursued by Abbé Recco, would require a four-month upgrade from January to April 1778, when they arrived at the college at Autun. Joseph was then 11 and Napoleon 9 and a half. At the age of ten, Napoleon was, as we would say today, bilingual, despite a certain accent and Italianism here and there.
It was very common for people of that time to speak their regional language first. French started to be the common language of France at the revolution and most of all during the 3rd republic. Before that, only 25% of the country population spoke it as first language, like the people of the centre of France, Paris, nobility and bourgeoisie of course.
@MERCATOR313 I appreciate and understand your reaction as very French. But here is the truth that the French want to hide: Napoleone di Buonaparte was born on Corsica on August 15, 1769, just 15 months after France had purchased the island from the Italian city-state of Genoa. Like many Corsicans, his parents, Carlo Maria di Buonaparte and Letizia Ramolino, opposed both Genoese and French rule. But when the French quickly overwhelmed local resistance fighters, Carlo began collaborating with them. At age 9, Napoleone, nicknamed Nabulio, was sent to school in mainland France, where he learned to speak fluent French. He never lost his Corsican accent, however, and was purportedly mocked for it by his classmates and, later on, by the soldiers under his command. Napoleone was not French. The Buonaparte family were of Italian stock.
@skiteufr Yes but Corsa is an Italian dialect. Not French. Corsica has always been ethnic cousins of their Northern Italian neighbors. France has been trying to erase that fact for two centuries.
i would like to say that the french Empereur Napoleon brought the world into a modern era, he changed Europe and the whole world, he was not only a military genius but also and perhaps even more a political genius, a scholar, an excellent mathematician and an enlightened writer. Napoleon is probably the most capable man the world has ever produced. His detractors, all former enemies, called him a tyrant, but of the 7 European coalitions launched against France, Napoleon only declared war first only once! And moreover, Russian troops were already marching towards France.....Have you ever met a tyrant who is adored by his people? This French emperor was adored by his people, which is what led to the return of the 100 days. France owes him so much....the police, the national gendarmerie, the fire brigade and the "Légion d'honneur", as well as the "Banque de France" and the "Cour des Comptes", two institutions that will support the advent of a modern economy. Napoleon also created prefects, lycées, the "Conseil d'Etat", street numbering, the University, the metric system, pollution control and refuse collection (decree of 15 October 1810), the "Conseil des prudhommes", the Paris stock exchange, the Criminal Code, the creation of 22 chambers of commerce, the land register for French territory, and the Civil Code, which is still widely used today throughout Europe! And let's not forget the infrastructure buildings and monuments he had built, such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Vendôme column, the Brongniart palace, the Madeleine church, numerous bridges (the Austerlitz and Yena bridges in Paris, for example, or the stone bridge in Bordeaux), the Ourcq canal, etc. etc., and even monuments to the French Empire like the Peace Square in Milano (Italie). It is impossible to list all the reforms and improvements made by Napoleon in education, justice, finance and the administrative system. ........and all this in a state shaken by the revolution, in full chaos, and ravaged by 25 years of incessant wars!!! Learning about Napoleon and France history is learning about history with a capital H!
Be sure to watch the waterloo movie of 1970. A massive large action movie. By a Russian Director of the French emperor Napoleon life and times. The great pyramids was many miles from the battlefield scene! He never changed with sword with army into bloody conflict of a greatest battlefield ever. Napoleon always commanded his great army from the back scene. My great information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.
As french...4 things...first Napoléon never shoot at pyramids....second napoleon is our french emperor....third Napoléon is our french emperor...fourth....Napoléon will always stay our emperor....the others ????go burning to hell....
Napoleon did indeed go to egypt, but there is no evidence that suggests or supports the idea that he shot a pyramid in egypt, or the sphinx's nose off for that matter.
The French flag, as shown in the film, did not exist in this form. It was not until 1830 that its current form was formalized. At that time the flags of the revolution and the empire had several appearances with only one obligation, to have blue, white and red. This aspect is visible on David's painting "The Eagle Delivery" in 1804.
Hi ! Actually, the traditionnal french flag (blue, white, red) is the official flag since 1792 (even earlier during the constitutionnal monarchy). The one on David painting are the military flags of the different corps d'armée of the army (you can even see their name written on it, like "1er régiment d'infanterie")
Napoleon never shot at the Giza pyramid and would never have shot at a Giza pyramid, that's bullshit because the fight was very far from the Giza pyramid.
I think it's perfectly okay to move the Egypt campaign a few miles closer to the pyramids because it looks cooler for the scene. Movies don't have to be 100% accurate.
Just a quick thing, Napoleon never shot the pyramids so dont worry. He was a devout student and respectful of history and civilizations. The battle of the pyramids happened like 10 miles away from the pyramids. The trailer and movie shows hollywood doing hollywood.
Technically he isn’t shooting them in that scene. They were like ten miles away, but possibly they were visable as like far off mountains.

Another fun fact... Napoleon was born Napoleone Di Buonaparte. He changed his name later to sound more French.
He does look like Napoleon!

Vive L'Empereur!
I definitely recommend Watching Epic History TV's Napoleon series to get a better understanding as to what is happening in the movie and why.
This could be the best film in a VERY long time.
Can't believe it took France until 1977 to stop beheadings. Christ. 😮
