Becoming a general(crushing the mob)

[belmontsmild]

They make it look so epic, I bet when it really happened they just fired a few "Cannister" shots from the cannon and the crow dispersed. In the style of combat, lining up and firing volleys - I bet a lot of people ended up getting shot in the balls =S

[MrBillcale]

a just and fair way to advance the best and the brightest

many of whom like napoleon are born to modest station

or even the gutter

the secret is to advance an elite that will value civilization and justice

and advance the welfare of all people and liberty

the equality comes from the opportunity to advance and that is a true equality

before the law napoleon spread across europe

with his napoleonic code

VIVE LE EMPEROR!

VIVE LA france! VIVE LA REVOLUTION!

[MrBillcale]

HE KNEW THAT he supported revolutionary values he simply wished to restore oder out of chaos all societies have some sort of hierarchy even socialist or communist societies the idea of advancing merit over heredity seems so conventional now BUT back then it was a revolutionary value aristocracy simply meant you inherited your position all societies have elites even jefferson agreed with that I AGREE WITH THAT the average person is a moron i'm not particularly bright the secret is finding

[MrBillcale]

i dont think anyone commenting here has a very firm grasp of history

napoleons parents were corsican revolutionaries corsica was the first

independent nation to implement enlightenment values

the very first nation to permit female suffrage, napoleons parents were the children of that revolution.he implemented the napoleonic code which made all people equal before the law, he liberated jews from ghettos they'd been imprisoned in for 1000 years, he NEVER would have been given a chance to rule

[CitoyendeRobespierre]

I am french and fan of napoleon moreover, but this was maybe the worst film ever about napoleon. A good shit of cinema

[Klaudios777]

Ça c'est une armée du peuple! La Garde Nationale !

[nekwa2]

I never heard of any royalist during the french revoulution... Now I know why.

[nekwa2]

As a royalist I would have fleed as soon those canons showed, no mater how strong my belives were.

[maunus]

Is it true that women joined the mob and got killed?

[GorinRedspear]

yes, just as in all the riots in which the army was sent in to quell it. men, women and children alike were killed.

[dsettleascii]

yes,but tht was the harsh reality of war

[hollywoodwerewolf]

Second Row, Murat??? Really? Not, say, Second Rank Fire?

[Halobenzene]

Mmmm murdering civilians with muskets and canister shot... I LIKE!

[guma163]

it was war on the streets of Paris! they were armed. They asked for it

[GorinRedspear]

and they shot first.

[sanalbey]

Napoleon likes order but not anarchy

[Askarethi]

could you upload this Series please??.

[3L24]

Now thats how they shoudl deal with rioters today

[Wolfen443]

@3L24 , today rioters are better armed than those in the film. But some canister like ammunition for close quaters is not a bad idea in cases like this one.

[EmperorofTerra]

same opinion

[84darkangel]

This series looks interesting. It seems very realistic in the depiction of weapons of the time.

Of particular note is the cannons loaded with cannister shot firring at point blank into the crowd (03.20). This is one of the few films where this has been shown so vividly. I'm not a blood thirsty person, but I do feel if something historical is to be depicted then it should be done correctly. Not just a flash, a bang and guys falling over like they've been hit by a gust of wind, lol!

[WarriorWolff]

What movie is this? Great video.

[JohanRegus12]

The Napoleon (2002) miniseries.

[wallace2k]

Napoleon would not have sounded like that. Obviously he would have been speaking french, but he would also have had a thick corsican (italian) accent.

[camille363auc]

Indeed, Napoleon believed in what the French usually call "republican meritocracy". The greatest share of wealth, honor and power is handed down to those who display the greatest ability. Family wealth and ancestors should not even be taken into account. By the way, this meritocracy was one of the cause of French supremacy in Europe.

[spectorofdarkness]

Aristocratic beliefs, yes, but not of the old aristocracy. His ideas were based off of merit rather than wealth or birth. You see, there is nothing naturally wrong about aristocracy, but rather the problem was that the aristocrats of old were either inept or completely selfish.

[Napoleontas]

i completely agree with that ,the real aristocrasy (hellinic word) means the BEST RULES =quality not money but ability

[spectorofdarkness]

Vive la Republique et morte aux Bourbons!

[Napoleontas]

Well Napoleon was NOT a rebuplican...

He had aristocratic beliefs( of course not the "aristocrats" of money but of ability and mind

[ReichsFuhrerHittler]

really nice =)

GReat movie.

[Napoleontas]

Euxaristo adelfe kai pali!
