I would like to say that this movie,is something unique,something that is without dobut the best.The plot is amaizing thanks to Leo Tolstoy,and the charatcters are genious,especialy Napoleon and Andrei Bolkonsky(which has become my favourite movie character).Simply the best...
Should two people get different answers for the same equation, they will compare their answers against the equation to find out which is right, rather than trying to determine a relationship between the answers. So why are people comparing this to Bondarchuk's movie? This version, very vividly mirrors the novel, with great differences in character portrayal, events and most themes. It worries me that some may, upon watching this, choose not to read the book and lose out on the full experience.
Две девочки в одинаковых платьях, с одинаковыми розами в волосах, одинаково присели, но невольно хозяйка остановила дольше свой взгляд на тоненькой Наташе. Хозяин тоже проводил глазами Наташу и спросил у графа, которая его дочь?- Charmante!- сказал он, поцеловав кончики своих пальцев. Наташа слышала и чувствовала, что несколько голосов спросили про нее и смотрели на нее. Она поняла,что понравилась тем, которые обратили на нее внимание..... Ну и где здесь ugly?
"Давно я ждала тебя", как будто сказала эта испуганная и счастливая девочка, своей проявившейся из-за готовых слез улыбкой, поднимая свою руку на плечо князя Андрея. Они были вторая пара, вошедшая в круг. Князь Андрей был одним из лучших танцоров своего времени. Наташа танцeвала превосходно. Ножки ее в бальных атласных башмачках быстро, легко и независимо от нее делали свое дело, а лицо ее сияло восторгом счастия
I am Russian. I read an original. actors were correctly picked up. natasha must be ugly - Tolsyoy describes its heartfelt beauty thick. she does not look Russian, but she the same living as in a book, the same cheerful. actors played fine!!!
War and Peace as the novel goes is much more descriptive and less bland than the movies even though the book is the 12th longest of all time with 560,000 words in the English translation. Nevertheless this trailer is great for the education of young minds of future novelists. War is not a game Pierre!
Though I've still yet to see this version, I don't know how it will compare to the 1970's BBC production with Tony Hopkins as Pierre, which was great.
The reason why I liked this version so much was because it inspired me to read the novel which was absolutely spectacular! I finished it this morning, and it made me aware of the many many many flaws of this mini series but I still like it. The Russian version, though seems to take on the scope and feeling of the novel better than this one and was much much better, but I still like this one!!
Both this version and the 1968 one have their faults.The Audrey Hepburn version doesn't exist to me. The one thing I don't like about War and Peace 1968 is that Pierre is portrayed as a well-educated bumbling idiot.
This version however, has a blonde Natasha, which is wierd, since I've always imagined her as a brunette.
I wish that an exclusively Russian remake could be made, with the characters portrayed as they're supposed to be, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
Seems to be an interesting interpretation. I'm going to watch it, but still I expect that it won't be as great as was Russian movie of 1968. This is too British. Only Russians can make this movie as it should be, show the Russian soul.
Didn't spot many Britishers and never seen this on British TV. It's too long for our minute attention spans and doesn't feature Dames Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins; Michael Gambon or poke-bonnets; those essentials for the Sunday-night autumn season.
Voyna i Mir 1968 is real. The battle scenes are real. Everything was real. Great attention was put into the movie to make it seem good. Voyna i Mir 1968 was the closest to the book (which I loved).
I guess that is why I am so critical about War and Peace. The book was great, the Russian movie was great, but this one should be euthanized. It should be euthanized because it has no potential. The second I saw Natasha the movie went downhill. A blonde Natasha, give me a break. This movie sucks.
this is from the tolstoy novel , so I considered a drama , it was presented as a miniseries with colaboration from several countries , including germany ,france ,and I believe UK for instance natascha is play by a french actress name clemence posey and pyort (pier)i dont know the spelling is german but I dont know his name sorry
the book is amazing, one of the best i have ever read,full of true emotions and the characters seem so real so human, sadly this movie isn't even near to tolstoy's story. just another good russian book turned into a stupid english movie.
Free will and Necessity are the main two factors that we as individaul are constantly struggling between, this is what Tolstoy asserts in this book in the epilogue. A very nice read, he brings out the best of humanity.
I just can't watch this film. The ideas of Tolstoly are totally lost, Characters are distorted, it seems that those, who made this film didn't even read the whole book, so much moment are false. If they wanted to make a simple pop love story, they shouldn't touch russian classic, particularly such as Tolstoy!
I also red the book and I think that this is a fantastic film, though the plot is not completely the same and some characters like Anna Pawlowna, Ippolit or Bilibin are not mentioned. It's impossible to put the more than 250 characters from the book into a film.
Oh my god. Does anybody want to show all 250 characters from the book?! I speak about the main ideas of Tolstoy and that characters in this film have nothing in common with Tolstoy's characters. This are not our Natasha, Bolkonsky, Pier, Maria. This are primitive people from soap opera films. You have to know that there is a great difference between banal movies for entertainment and Tolstoy's books.
I don't thinks so. These are not that versatile characters from the book, but they also aren't primitive people from soap opera. Have you seen the complete movie?
They are primitive in comparison with Tolstoy's characters, or if like it more it is a primitive representation of his characters! I only want the name of this film not to be connected with Tolstoy. This is a wrong reflection of his art. I don't argue that this film may be interesting, of course it can because it is based on the plot of Tolstoy (who was a great writer from every quarter), but it is a wrong reflection of Tolstoy's ideas, of Russians,of our literature,which are much more deep.
He is philosopher, great artist,psychologist everything in his book connected with russian culture and history. If they don't know about it enough, if they are not even interested in the philosophic problems ща the book, why, why they try to work with it?
They only spoils it. And for me as a representative of Russian nation is a shame to watch this film, in which nothing is showed in its true value. Just very sad....((
Napoleon thought he was dead because Bolkonsky didnt move, he was just looking at the sky, asking himself about the sense of life, so it was a nice looking death to Napoleon to die in that position.
He never faked his death, he was badly wounded and was contempating life and death whilst clutching a Russian flag. Unable to move, this is how Napoleon saw him and reguarded it as a good way to die, till Bolkonsky moved, whereupon Napoleon had his personal physician tend him.
in my opinion, the movie of Fedor Bondarchuk is much better than this one. some important facts are missed in this film, such as mason theme and others.
it was jointly filmed by Russia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain. Andrei Bolkonskii is played by italian, Natasha is french, and Pier Bezukhov is german. such an international cast. it's not entirely based on a book, they made it like a love story, however i liked it very much.
Qualcuno di voi sa dirmi qual è il pezzo che Natasa suona al pianoforte di fronte a tutti gli invitati all'inizio della prima puntata, poco prima che il principe Andrej legga la dichiarazione di guerra della Russia alla Francia?
I think the movie is done wel, obviously nott a low budget film. But the changes in some places are just...agh! They end up oversimplifing things. And after having read the book it is fairly annoying.
english is not my mother language , is spanish in which do you think is better to read the book, i dont like tranlation but I REALLY don´t know i word of russian
i have da dvd in Russian and i love it! i didnt really get the Russian version of war and peace, but this one is clearer. but probably cuz im quite young to understand it. my mum read da book when she was 16, and she says she was too young 4 it, so..
It's taking too long time to read this book. I have read only 3 books of War And Peace. 1 left. Tolstoi is a very good athor, one of the best in the world. But i don't like when he describ very much
pytanie....kaczmarek wykorzystał motyw walca w czołówce (brzmi on na poczatku tego filmu)...co to za utwór? podejrzewam ,ze Czajkowski...będę wdzięczny za podpowiedź:)
Kto by nie uwielbiał Kaczmarka?? :-) Mam pytanie - wiesz może, czy soundtrack wyjdzie w Polsce? Bo ja miałam okazję posłuchać w necie półminutowych fragmentów ścieżki i uważam, że jest rewelacyjna!! Ale jak na razie krążą wieści, że muzyka wyjdzie z jakiejś włoskiej wytwórni tylko : /// Myślę, że ktoś u nas powinien pomyśleć, iż można na tym zarobić... Pozdrawiam ^_^
Ouch, that acting looks bad. What is this, Masterpiece Theater with a Welsh bar wench playing Natasha? Seriously,the Bondarchik version is one of the finest films ever made, why would I check this out based on this preview?
Well, I wouldn't like my children to watch this movie - they will get Tolstoy wrong. Natasha, indeed, doesn't suite this movie, but I wouldn't like to argue about that. It's not the matter of being cute or ugly it's just the matter of being suitable.
I have watched Bondarchuk's War and Peace. And I have watched American-Italian War and Peace as well. It was shot in 1956 and it has Audrey Hepburn as Natasha. it's better, than the newest one. though, Bondarchuk's version is the best in my opinion
The main problem for me is, that this movie looks too "western" (as it seems from this trailer). In Tolstoy's book and Bondarchuk's movie you can see the greatness of russian soul and land, you understand that land, air, water and infinite distances are forming those people and their living philosophy more, then in any other country. I hope you understand me. I am afraid that this version degrade Tolstoy's masterpiece only into banal love story.
I agree with you : the russian movie is a masterpiece in itself, not mentioning Tolstoy's book. Nevertheless this is still a good movie, I think, although too romantically oriented.
creature500, I totally agree with you in regards to this series. I see two major problems with it 1. The choice of many actors for is poor, particually I was dissapointed with Clemence's Nastasha Rostova. 2. Script adaptation. The reason Bondarchuk's movie is so great is that he followed closely the book. Cheers
At first I am not from english speaking country (I am from Czech Republic) so excuse me please, because my English is not good.
I hope this trailer is joke. I definitely do not think that Clemence is ugly, she would be perect Sonya, but this is minor problem for me (I fell in love with Lyudmila Savelyeva as Natasha, her dance scene is amazing :-))
Hope this was a sacrasm :) No they didn't. Russian aristocracy spoke French and Russian at that time period. I think the reason for English is that the actors were chosen from all over Europe (France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Romania, England etc...) . Since English is a universal language right now, you can make conclusions.
Well I hope the Soviet version would not be better. And by looking at this trailer..it does look sismilar to the original soviet version. And the actors look a little similar....but they should have definatly picked a better looking girl for this movie. I have he SOviet version and I really like it. I am now reading the Novel...and I hope this modern version will be good too. Oh and one more DETAIL..Russians only were treanch coats in the winter..not in normal seasons like they show here.

You are correct and it is something about which one wonders. However, if the "big picture" is good I can deal with it. Pierre was also fat according to Tolstoy. But this Pierre actually seems quite goodlooking. However, when it comes to studly, the actor playing Prince Andre is really hot!
true that- if the movie itself is well-done i wouldn't care much, i just thought it was strange. I haven't seen the film yet since i'm currently in the US and not sure how to get it!
I too am at my wits end trying to procure this DVD. I first read this novel when I was 13 for the 1st time. The Bondarchuk film is good with great moments but it's not perfect and is dated! The 1956 version is also dated with errors but not without its charm. There is also a BBC TV one that is actually close to the story. But as it's from the cold war era in the 1970's it had to be filmed in the UK in great country houses. That was all that was available. Pas parfait mais pas mal aussi.
well good luck to your serch for the DVD- i hope i'll find one soon as well, me and my Bulgarian friend really want to see it! i want to see something GOOD-QUALITY uh priceless
Cher Mathi, Bien dit! J'adore Audrey. Mais il y a longtemps depuis les annees 50 et 60 et nous dvons vivre dans nos temps n'est-ce-pas? D'ailleirs, Clemence s'emporte tres bien. Et je crois que enycgirl a aussi raison - que Anatole et fort beau. Mais le Prince Andre n'est pas de tout mal aussi...vraiment splendid comme homme! Le suel critic c'est que Pierre est trop mince car selon Tolstoy il etait tres gross et maladroit.
I thought it was tchaikovsky but I couldn't find it. The man in charge of music is Jan A.P. Kaczmarek a terrific Polish composer. He has written several movie scores. Look him up. Im sure you will eventually get information online about the soundtrack. It is early for this. He also wrote some music for the series and it is possible that he wrote this rather fast waltzy thing that starts the promo.
Sorry, but it's just a parody! In spite of all my respect for european cinematograph European just can't make russian films.. can't show our feellings... we have different national dsiposition, temper.... and Natasha of course isn't pretty but not so ugly... and have RUSSIAN face!!
fuck this movie . With whom Natasha sleeps ? is there any kissing with andrei in the novel ?

I think the movie is done wel, obviously nott a low budget film. But the changes in some places are just...agh! They end up oversimplifing things. And after having read the book it is fairly annoying.

It's taking too long time to read this book. I have read only 3 books of War And Peace. 1 left. Tolstoi is a very good athor, one of the best in the world. But i don't like when he describ very much

And also there is polish actor- Paweł Burczyk:D
Uwielbiam muzyke Kaczmarka, jest po prostu swietna:D

Kto by nie uwielbiał Kaczmarka?? :-) Mam pytanie - wiesz może, czy soundtrack wyjdzie w Polsce? Bo ja miałam okazję posłuchać w necie półminutowych fragmentów ścieżki i uważam, że jest rewelacyjna!! Ale jak na razie krążą wieści, że muzyka wyjdzie z jakiejś włoskiej wytwórni tylko : /// Myślę, że ktoś u nas powinien pomyśleć, iż można na tym zarobić... Pozdrawiam ^_^

Ouch, that acting looks bad. What is this, Masterpiece Theater with a Welsh bar wench playing Natasha? Seriously,the Bondarchik version is one of the finest films ever made, why would I check this out based on this preview?
pantherhawkrolling 4 years ago 2
Well, I wouldn't like my children to watch this movie - they will get Tolstoy wrong. Natasha, indeed, doesn't suite this movie, but I wouldn't like to argue about that. It's not the matter of being cute or ugly it's just the matter of being suitable.

i agree. rent a russian movie made i believe in 1968. it's a master piece, all other War and Peace movies- nothing.
nashamarka 4 years ago
I have watched Bondarchuk's War and Peace. And I have watched American-Italian War and Peace as well. It was shot in 1956 and it has Audrey Hepburn as Natasha. it's better, than the newest one. though, Bondarchuk's version is the best in my opinion

Luso515PorTuoGraal 4 years ago
The main problem for me is, that this movie looks too "western" (as it seems from this trailer). In Tolstoy's book and Bondarchuk's movie you can see the greatness of russian soul and land, you understand that land, air, water and infinite distances are forming those people and their living philosophy more, then in any other country. I hope you understand me. I am afraid that this version degrade Tolstoy's masterpiece only into banal love story.
creature500 4 years ago 16
I agree with you : the russian movie is a masterpiece in itself, not mentioning Tolstoy's book. Nevertheless this is still a good movie, I think, although too romantically oriented.
kali555b 4 years ago 3
creature500, I totally agree with you in regards to this series. I see two major problems with it 1. The choice of many actors for is poor, particually I was dissapointed with Clemence's Nastasha Rostova. 2. Script adaptation. The reason Bondarchuk's movie is so great is that he followed closely the book. Cheers

Yes, a shame, isn´t it? That such a masterpiece ios degraded into a "Love and war" melodrama.

At first I am not from english speaking country (I am from Czech Republic) so excuse me please, because my English is not good.
I hope this trailer is joke. I definitely do not think that Clemence is ugly, she would be perect Sonya, but this is minor problem for me (I fell in love with Lyudmila Savelyeva as Natasha, her dance scene is amazing :-))

Spartancjl 4 years ago
Hope this was a sacrasm :) No they didn't. Russian aristocracy spoke French and Russian at that time period. I think the reason for English is that the actors were chosen from all over Europe (France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Romania, England etc...) . Since English is a universal language right now, you can make conclusions.

Well I hope the Soviet version would not be better. And by looking at this trailer..it does look sismilar to the original soviet version. And the actors look a little similar....but they should have definatly picked a better looking girl for this movie. I have he SOviet version and I really like it. I am now reading the Novel...and I hope this modern version will be good too. Oh and one more DETAIL..Russians only were treanch coats in the winter..not in normal seasons like they show here.

You are correct and it is something about which one wonders. However, if the "big picture" is good I can deal with it. Pierre was also fat according to Tolstoy. But this Pierre actually seems quite goodlooking. However, when it comes to studly, the actor playing Prince Andre is really hot!
marlyleroi 4 years ago
true that- if the movie itself is well-done i wouldn't care much, i just thought it was strange. I haven't seen the film yet since i'm currently in the US and not sure how to get it!
mariiiya 4 years ago
I too am at my wits end trying to procure this DVD. I first read this novel when I was 13 for the 1st time. The Bondarchuk film is good with great moments but it's not perfect and is dated! The 1956 version is also dated with errors but not without its charm. There is also a BBC TV one that is actually close to the story. But as it's from the cold war era in the 1970's it had to be filmed in the UK in great country houses. That was all that was available. Pas parfait mais pas mal aussi.

Cher Mathi, Bien dit! J'adore Audrey. Mais il y a longtemps depuis les annees 50 et 60 et nous dvons vivre dans nos temps n'est-ce-pas? D'ailleirs, Clemence s'emporte tres bien. Et je crois que enycgirl a aussi raison - que Anatole et fort beau. Mais le Prince Andre n'est pas de tout mal aussi...vraiment splendid comme homme! Le suel critic c'est que Pierre est trop mince car selon Tolstoy il etait tres gross et maladroit.

Anyone, do you know what waltz is playing in the background?
patblah 4 years ago
I thought it was tchaikovsky but I couldn't find it. The man in charge of music is Jan A.P. Kaczmarek a terrific Polish composer. He has written several movie scores. Look him up. Im sure you will eventually get information online about the soundtrack. It is early for this. He also wrote some music for the series and it is possible that he wrote this rather fast waltzy thing that starts the promo.
Peace to all
