Just listen to how the music counters the sounds of nature (wind, seagulls, rain); the shots of him on the bluff (with the valley below) are breathtaking. And that last shot of Feraud's face tells the story of the whole film; without his fight with D'Hubert, he's an empty shell of a man. Wow.

The best example of "dolly zoom" so far. Napoleon in exile... Thank you for posting.

Epic...........

For information, it's not in England, it's in France, in Perigord, and precisely in the garden of Marqueyssac. For lhe last duel in the ruins its the castle of Commarque in Dordogne too.

Great ending of a great film. Captures perfectly what´ s left when the days of all this "Death or Glory" nonsense are over.

Now this is filmmaking at its finest.

Uno dei piu' epici e toccanti finali di un'opera d'arte di Scott

@seattlejohn01 You've just made my nipples hard, sir.....Well said.

@seattlejohn01 not only that, I think its a perfect encapsulation of a whole era, napoleon's, and its ending, and perhaps the end of honour as a main ideal for europeans. It was truly the end of a system of beliefs under which men like feraud built their lives. Man, where was left behind that ridley scott who could make movies like this? its bizarre to think that the man who made this work of art also made such vomit-inducing films as gladiator or kingsom of heaven

@danjelito Dramatic cloud formations are a pretty common sight in England, due to it's location and the fact that it's an Island. The work of landscape painter John Constable captures this natural phenomena in many of his works.
