Napoleon Bonaparte : The World Is Mine

[VictumRoManius]

0:15 is probally the best young-Napoleon reanactement i have ever seen.

[teufelstaub]

Vive Albert Dieudonne' !

[aussiewomen]

In 1.11, 1.16, 1.31, 1.36, 2.38 & 3.02 what is the name of that movie. Have not seen those Napoleons before?

[Fudgemellow]

@aussiewomen They are all scenes from "Io e Napoleone" (Napoleon and me) an Italian comedy about Napoleon's time on Elba. It's based on a book, although the film is very different from the book. The scene at 3:02 is from Abel Gance's "Napoleon".

[aussiewomen]

@Fudgemellow - Thank you for the info. Can you buy "l oe Napoleone" that has English subtitles? I have looked everywhere and it is only in Italian. Great vid. by the way!

[faquarl08]

How did they make his stay on Elba into a comedy? In the light of the fact that he managed to escape and retake the throne, that seems weird.

[Fudgemellow]

@faquarl08 It is pretty weird indeed. The movie is based on the book "N." by Ernesto Ferrero. The book is definitely not a comedy though and if in the movie they had not changed everything about the book besides the basic plot and the characters, it would've made a great historical drama. Now it's a mediocre comedy at best. The book is a great read though, offers a very interesting perspective on Napoleon's stay on Elba.

VIVE L'EMPEREUR!!!!!

[CaptainLilyJane]

Great, Great, Great!

Not Only the video but from what I can see,

The acting too :D

[lightnessss]

yes he was not an oppressor: in 15 years of reign, never the frenchs tried to destitute him

only a love story between a ruler and his people can make a strong nation, I mean a REALLY strong nation like the France was at this time

[juultjuh99]

Greatest man ever lived!

[BieniAlala]

I love him x33

[sunnyblack15]

Been here before but this time its for keeps ...

[1catholicchick]

So I was looking through the comments and saw that you got clips from Heroes and Villains, Monsieur N, and Napoleon (1927). I found Heroes and Villains and Monsieur N and LOVED them. I'm going to look up Napoleon (1927). Are there any other good Napoleon movies you could recommend? Any other movies you used for clips?

[Fudgemellow]

@1catholicchick One other movie I used is "Io e Napoleone", an Italian movie based on a book about Napoleon's exile on Elba. I would definitely recommend the book. The movie is quite good too, although besides sharing the title and also being situated on Elba it doesn't have much to do with the book.

[SRitchieable]

Hear hear Van1980!

[ansketil]

Whence comes the footage of him galloping down the road? It looks so epic!

[Fudgemellow]

@ansketil I think you mean the shot from 0:22 to 0:29? That would be from Monsieur N.

[Fudgemellow]

@ansketil I think you mean the shot from 0:22 to 0:29? That would be from Monsieur N.

[SRitchieable]

"[In my Italian campaign of 1796] I glimpsed what I might be. I felt the earth flee from beneath me - as though I were being carried into the skies" Napoleon. Your clip captures that! Matching of footage to lyrics: first prize. One private quibble: Unlike many contemporaries, Napoleon did not see executions as amusement. So cannot imagine him eating apple (etc) whilst near a functioning guillotine. 'Kissing the globe' squence is cheesy but I love it - 'an inner portrait' of a true hero.

[marco3078]

King Tut, Ceasar, Napoleon, Hitler, Bush...It all ended bad. why try again:?/ the People will always rule.

[van1980]

@marco3078 You're an uneducated idiot.  Napoleon was a liberator of men, not an oppressor.

[marco3078]

@van1980 an idiot is someone who calls people an idiot cause they can't accept people's oppinion. Like I came up with the term antichrist for your hero you fukin moron.

[van1980]

@marco3078 No, an idiot is someone who lacks normal cognitive ability, such as yourself. The frequency with which one offers criticism is in no way related to idiocy. Your ignorance, however, is.

You won't find a single scholar who agrees with you for a reason.

[marco3078]

@van1980 Actually an idiot is a mentally deficient person,or someone who acts in a self - defeating or significantly counterproductive way." a person so mentally deficient as to be incapable of ordinary reasoning" that describes YOU more than myself. Even in the Video Napoleon pt1. Early years. David Chandler said" He was a great man,but a great bad man" " theses days scholars who have compared Napoleon and Hitler..." let me guess they're all idiots too. OK VON go play with your skin heads.

[van1980]

@marco3078 You don't know your history. Hitler tried to kill the Jews. Napoleon proclaimed the Emancipation of the Jews, and the majority of the Jews in Italy hailed Napoleon as a liberator and political savior, calling him "HELEK TOV," (lit. "Good Part"; cf. Bona-Parte). In Palestine, Napoleon issued a manifesto that promised the Jews their return to their country, and therefore anticipated the creation of the state of Israel.

Stop learning through documentaries.

[faquarl08]

@marco3078

The campaign in Russia was pretty bad yes. But not intentionally. Napoleon just wanted to punish Russia a little bit becaus they dident keep their promises to him. Using such a big army was an overreaction and it did go terribly wrong. The Russia-campaign was so untypical for Napoleon that Freud the psycolog has tried to analyze what went wrong with his head! (He believed NP was unconscious punishing himself for leaving Josephine) Except from Russia and Egypt he only defended France.

[faquarl08]

@faquarl08

In Egypt he buildt Schools and Hospitals and basicly acted like a world police, and not really a conquerer. Of the 50000 men he took with him to Egypt 16000

was civilians such as scientists etc.

Vive L´Empereur  - 15.08.2010

[eksadiss]

I cant listen to this song without this video anymore.

[dsettleascii]

anyone who enjoys vedio games and loves napolen i recomend getting napoleon total war,its a rts game its absolutley awsome

[DuPuieproductions]

Out of all the Napoleon movies

The one with Christian Calvier, was by far THE BEST. Because Christian Cavalier looks and sounds more like Napoleon than the American and British actors.

But that's just my opinion.

[5B0YAKASHA5]

This is Magnificent!

[creamofcardstv]

Interesting selection of clips. Thumbs up!

[sarunas183]

0:16 Whats this ovie called?

[Fudgemellow]

@sarunas183 : It's from the movie "Napoleon" by Abel Gance, made in 1927.

[sunnyblack15]

Old Empires can take a long time to build and can be easly Destroyed in seconds......

[lazyxperfectionist]

We watched this video in my Social Studies class. :]

We loved it.

[sunking387]

Great song and montage!

Vive l'Empereur des Français, Roi d'Italie, Protecteur de la confederation du Rhin, mediateur de la confederation suisse, et sa majeste le roi de Danemarck et de Norwege!!!

[Herstory4321]

Napoleon was an enlightened and inspired leader. But his troups were viscous rapists who lost the all-important moral imperative, and then lost the war as a result. Napoleon like all great leaders forgot that ultimately the power comes from the people.

[gipcambero]

VIVE l'EMPEREUR !!

[seankinsellasean]

Fantastic man, the world would more than likly be his if he didnt send his grand army into russia.

[DrCruel]

Too bad he wasn't more like George Washington. Then the Russian armies might have guillotined their tsars earlier and joined Napoleon rather than fought him, and Europe might have a single elected president now.

[emangi1]

@DrCruel I agree, but France didn't have the strategic benefit of the Atlantic ocean between her vindictive enemies. Even after initial victory, empire was the most effective political structure at 'ensuring the gains of the revolution.' Napoleon knew his history well; Julius Caesar taught him that "the difference between a republic and an empire is the loyalty of one's army."

[DrCruel]

In the case of the French Empire, and of Rome, the difference between republic and empire was ultimate victory or defeat. It's the loyalty of tax paying citizens one should covet, not soldiers or the rabble of the mob.

[emangi1]

@DrCruel Again, I agree (in addition to Caesar).

[Scrinoverlord]

@seankinsellasean

But he never had any plans to conquer the world, he was a realist. He wanted to create a federal, democratic Europe, an early European Union basically.

[mphet26]

@Scrinoverlord At that time the worlds were only Europe. And he wanted all of Europe. All other (Asia, America, India, Africa) were only slaves.

[Scrinoverlord]

@mphet26

No, he didn't. I don't get why people still think he wanted to conquer the "world", even if that world was Europe. If that was so, why did he not completely absorb Austria, Prussia and Russia into his empire when he very well could have done in 1805, 1806, and 1807? Because he wanted to keep their monarchies intact, and because he had no plans for total domination like that sick fuck Hitler did.

Federal, democratic Europe>demonic "New World Order" from Hitler

The brief legal emancipation of Jews during the Napoleonic wars released unparalleled economic, professional, and cultural energies. It was though a high dam had suddenly been breached.

Great vid Fudgemellow, Napoleon was a great Hero, of the people and a true knight.

His glory and wisdom shine on all just and honorable people.

[Saber10inch]

good video man but you could have chosen a better song that would fit that period of time. its not that david guetta sucks im saying this song doesnt belong here! thats it

[DavidGlennErazo]

i think the best clips of showing Napoleon are the ones in BLACK AND WHITE!!!!!!

[MaxRWF]

What's the movie at 1:49 ?

[Fudgemellow]

That's a clip taken from ''Monsieur N", the clip right after (with the head and the cannonball) is taken from "Heroes & Villains: Napoleon".

[sunnyblack15]

Napoleon the man with DESTINY come from nothing and new want he wanted and got what he wanted. He wiped out all Enemies that came in his way...

[TheRacontuer]

kinda stamping on my point there. But he didn't wipe out "all enemies that came his way" he never broke Britain, or Prussia, and he had the chance to, he just couldn't. His military genius isn't the point, it's his personality, his penash, his get-up-and-go, come-ahead! attitude which is remarkable.

[TheRacontuer]

Not because of his blood, nor his background, but because of his ability, his ambition, his vigour: that's how he rose to such greatness, he was the blueprint of the modern leader, a remarkable character, a genius!

[killuminati43]

Absolutly. Anyone who wants to read a clear, and logical piece of writing, about what Napoleon Bonaparte really represented, should read Ralph Emerson's essay on Napoleon in Representative men.

[TheRacontuer]

cheers, i will check out this Emerson fellow at my university's library. Thanks for the reply; so refreshing to know someone else who has a high regard for what the man stood for. cheers again

[sunnyblack15]

I KNOW

[sunnyblack15]

Napoleon is the business...

[hunbalam]

make a disclaimer

[sunnyblack15]

...555...

[Fudgemellow]

Care to explain ...???...

[sunnyblack15]

Hi, I like your video 555 is a secret code...

[GreyLittleKitten]

OHH, i saw Monsieur N! Great movie!!

HIHI,, look at him eating like an animal from that plate... That made me smile, He could be terribly cute..lol

[Germanicus79]

if only one could understand what this guy pulled off, u should begin to study the french revolution and their mentality then carefully, and then his story, and his memoirs. omg, they dont print that anymore !!!!!

[duss46]

Beautiful assembly, but far from the reality of the character

[dsettleascii]
