    I don't know what I'm looking at here, but I do know that Napoleonic warfare is very much about moving huge formations across kilometre-long battlefields. The procedures are as epic as they are deadly. Austerlitz in particular was all about deception, capturing tactical positions and timing the arrival of reinforcements. A drama in itself ... another campaign, but watch the BBC's War and Peace from 2016. The opening of Borodino is just a tiny slice. But even in its limitations as a TV series, it portrays that atmosphere quite well ...

    • @kaseigunsou
      @kaseigunsou 10 місяців тому +20

      ​@tzetzat where to start ? No higher ground for Napoleon, unlike what's shown here. The whole purpose of the battle was for Napoleon to appear weakened and ready to surrender. He purposedly gave up the higher ground before the battle started and lured the coalition to strike his right flank, timing a counterattack to dismantle their center by taking the heights while his weak flank would get reinforcements from one of his Marshals coming from Vienna at speed. The canons and army in general weren't hidden by giant cloaks but by mist in the morning and that was just a tiny bit of it.
      And the ice thing is arguably a tiny detail of the battle happening only by the end of it when Russian army was already lost.
      All in all, Austerlitz is famously known for the general movement of Napoleon's army, (giving the higher ground to the enemy only to take it in a counterattack) more than it is known for the purely anecdotal ice "trap" (which wasn't even a trap). That the sequence we have here focused only on this and shows no other reference to any of the actual battle is worrying. Because these battles have so much drama and twists and heroic moments from both sides you can make a whole movie about them.
      We need to see the context around it but the general flow and horrible pacing make it disappointing so far. 2mns sequence for a masterpiece of strategy and a battle which would end a 1000+ years lasting Empire in a day seem a bit expeditive to say the least.

    If this is supposed to show just Napoleon's weak right flank fighting, it hurts a little less. But if this is supposed to be the whole battle than this is a sin. This didn't happen in one place the amies were spread out for kilometers and it was happening for hours. If this is supposed to show just Davout's corps fighting it still isn't accurate. The fighting was happening among houses and villages. It didn't happen on ice, when Austrians were retreating they had to pass over ice. But it looks amazing.

    At its core rhe Battle of Austerlitz is:
    Napoleon argueing/convincing his marshals that they could trap and destroy the allied army.
    The deception plan by showing the allies that the French were in disarray. This is high lited by the French abandoning the Pratzen Heights.
    The nite torch lite procession where Napoleon visited his army.
    Davouts force march from Vienna to Austerlitz. He arrives from the south to attack the allies from the flank.
    The fog hiding Soults corps at the base of the Pratzen heights.
    Kutuzov confronting the Tsar not to move off the heights to attack the French right. Kutuzov had figured out Napoleons plan but nobody would listen to him.
    Napoleons decision to commit Soult in seizing Pratzen. "How long will it take you to seize the heights?" "20 minutes sire. " At this time, the fog lifted, and the French soldiers began to cheer. This is the Sun of Austerlitz
    The destruction of the allied army with the route over the ice.
    Sadly, what we see is a lot of artistic license by Ridley. Everything i have mentioned can be covered in a half hour?

      I agree and also find the short version we got it incredibly hard to follow. The fast pacing coming from the editing is horrible. There is absolutely no tension.
      I would have used Austerlitz to lay the ground for what will be relevant in the defining battles later on : the corps, the cavalry, the weak flanks, the speed of Napoleon's army. All of that will be relevant when crossing the Berezina or fighting at Waterloo.
      Seems we don't even see any Marshals fighting. How are you supposed to feel for them, feel for Ney breaking through in Russia against all odds, against Davout joining here after a 2 days walk ?
      I'll wait for the reviews to decide whether or not I'll see the movie. If it is a fast paced movie trying to do everything at once and not even exploiting what makes Napoleon such a major character, there's no point as there are already tons of material available which seem to be providing better tension.
      Austerlitz is a masterpiece, it deserves more than a 2mns good looking but awfully written sequence.

    I love Napoleon and was looking forward to seeing this movie. But I have seen too many movie battles butchered by Hollywood to hold out too much hope for this one. The battle looks pretty pathetic compared to how it should be. It saddens me that the thing that the director draws attention to is the breaking of the ice. That is such a small and inconsequential part of the battle that it should not even matter. It also looks very small in scale. Another historical battle was ruined.

    Napoleon Bonapart was the main rampart for saving the republic. He was the guardian of new freedom acquired by France citizen during the revolution, themselves inspired by the American revolution and all the story of Le Marquis de Lafayette.
    All the European countries where attacking France to put a king back on the French throne. Napoleon Bonapart was not only loved but necessary for France to exist as free and without him we would not know the world as it is today.
    I hope this movie is not going to picture him as a hateful person, greedy for power, a small dwarf with a temper who wanted only blood... which was the english propaganda at that time to fight against him in the eternal was that oppose france and england over who will control the european continent.

      he was a radical jacobin during the republic. He supported Robespierre even after he proclaimed his empire by writing letters in favor of him. He was proclaimed savior of the revolution when he used canons to destroy royalist mobs. He ordered the execution of royalists even after they have surrendered during the toulon’s offensive. He was a friend of the brother of Robespierre. He was arrested during the fall of Robespierre by the thermidoriens for being a jacobin. The coup d’etat of Napoleon was not really his idea, but the idea of another radical general from the north who wanted to abolish the corrupt directory government (considered to me too moderate) and replace the directory constitution with the revolutionary constitution that existed during the jacobins.
      Napoleon just used this opportunity to save the French Revolution that was threatened militarily by a coalition of monarchist empires that were dangerously getting close Paris. While Napoleon was winning all his military battles in the south during the campaign of Italy with a very bad equipped army, the northern revolutionary armies were losing their battles and approaching Paris .
      So Napoleon used the coup d’etat of another general, the other general invited Napoleon to join him cuz Napoleon was already popular for his campaign of Italy, to then try to convince the deputies that Napoleon arrived to save them from a jacobin plot and bring them to safety. Then a long argumentation happened because a lot of deputies didn’t believe it until the brother of Napoleon arrived and said : "I swore to put my sword in the belly of my brother Bonaparte if he ever betrays the Liberty of the French!".
      Eventually it convinced the deputies to accompany Napoleon to a castle. The next day, the deputies were told to go back to their homes. Finally Napoleon was part of the 5 committee members , then became the consul and used a referendum to ask the French if they agreed for him to become a Republican emperor, which they majority accepted cuz the revolution was under a threat by the foreign enemies of revolutionary France.
      So Napoleon took the commands of all armies. But the greatest campaign of Napoleon happened during the republic, during the campaign of Italy, because he succeeded to win even when he was outnumbered with a low moral army that was outdated at the beginning with low ressources. The army of Napoleon during the republic, known as the army of Italy, was supposed to be a diversion, but Napoleon made it the main show.
