Why do English take credit for ending Napoleon when it was really the Russians? You now what? Russians are based and the saviors of western civilization. THey stopped the French and the Germans from running the world. Fuck America.
the west died at stalingrad
the eternal anglos are still butthurt about him.
Could Kubrick do based Bonaparte justice?
>tfw you will never be a French lancer and stab an Englishman in the ass.
Why do the Russians take credit for ending Napoleon when it was really the seasons? They lost every confrontation they had with the Napoleon, had to burn down their own capital and were sacking their own commanders for cowardice because of the constant retreat. Their victory was accidental.
Hi Celine
because it wasn't? Napoleon lost because he lost command of the seas and got blockaded by the royal navy. He tried to force european nations to stop trading with Britain and couldn't enforce it, it's partly why he attacked Russia in the first place as retaliation against their continued trade with Britain. Basically we could supply arms to the coalition indefinitely and whatever he did he'd lose.
Keep seething, Frenchcuck.
You can't top the 1970 film.
amerimutts only care about the invasion of normandy, the pacific front and vietnam. MAYBE american revolutionary war (lie version)
>With the help of assistants, he meticulously created a card catalog of the places and deeds of Napoleon's inner circle during its operative years. Kubrick scouted locations, planning to film large portions of the film on location in France, in addition to the use of United Kingdom studios. The director was also going to film the battle scenes in Romania and had enlisted the support of the Romanian army; senior army officers had committed 40,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalrymen to Kubrick's film for the paper costume battle scenes.
It's not fair
IT'S FORTY SHILLINGS ON THE DRUM
Because creating a historically respectful Napoleonic film is a nightmare.
Every unit and rank had its own distinct uniform and appearance norms, and even common officers wore fanciest suits around.
And once you get through the dressing process, making sure every single actor and extra wears accurate clothing and ornament, you often must have dozens, if not hundreds, on single take, as Napoleonic warfare was based on manouvering dozens of units in tight formations during the battle. Also don't forget every extra must act disciplined as soldier of these times.
I rather see a proper Franco-Prussian War film first.
Nothing on TV will top Sharpe's Eagle

Don't remind me
:(
Because Hitler came along and became the defacto Villain of almost every movie of the 20th Century
If done well, this could be eternal kino. We will never see it in our lifetimes
Better than getting one about the poor French victims being forced to start a war and get rekt over some diplomatic minutiae.
I feel like the problem with trying to get a new film about the Napoleonic Wars done today is that major studios would feel obligated to do large-scale special effects fests and wouldn't want to for fear the complex content wouldn't grasp dumb Avengers-going normies. Smaller production houses wouldn't be able to manage the cost of a more low key production because of the expense of period sets and costumes.
The hope for new Napoleon kino lies with streaming services. Netflix would absolutely do a series. Though I worry they'd put some stupid fantasy shit in shoehorn a bunch of demographics that weren't there historically to get broader appeal.
Actually thinking about it I'd love to see Netflix, AMC, or HBO do the Temeraire books. Seems like an easy way for them to capture some of the GOT audience along with history dorks like me.
Its no coincidence the two best and biggest Napoleonic films, Waterloo and War and Peace, were made by the Soviets. They could afford it and supply the extras without being cucked by having to rely upon dumb normies wanting to go see it for profits like Hollywood.
I cant think of any current director I'd want to give Kubricks notes to so he can finish his movie.
The world would realise that Napoleon was the good guy
Meaning?
Revolutionary France were the good guys, that stopped when it became about Napoleon.
America wasn't heavily involved. Just like how there's no Hollywood films of any other war in which America wasn't involved.
Euros need to start making their own big budget films rather than relying upon Americans, in short.
anyone who resists anglo domination is a good guy
Just watch this
french revolution submitted the world to jews for good. we will forever pay the toll
Cause women
Nah, they were to extremsist and autistic overall.
The new calendar, the worship of the "supreme being" are just exemples
Napoleon was more realist and pragmatic at least in internal policy
And yet it can be done, apparently:-

This scene is more realistic than the one in Waterloo, since it doesn't feature close-ups on men on rocking-horses.
England treated very well the Jews already, and the Rothschild were already filty rich before the napoleonic war.
Most reform made by Napoleon for the jews emancipation in Europe were erased after its downfall anyway.
>resists anglo domination
Unsuccessfully, it turned out.
>feelsgoodoldchap.png
Huh. That's a funny way to spell "Prussians". I don't recall any "Russians" being at the battle that defeated Napoleon for good.
I think you'll find his butt is the one that hurts.
because americans won't watch anything that doesn't involve or mention them in some way
So they coincidentally defeated their enemies twice? Doesn't sound accidental to me
They know how to use the climate in their behalf
Waterloo had all this things. The attention to detail was autism levels of beautiful.
>They know how to use the climate in their behalf
>engage enemy in retarded manner
>fail
>have no option but retreat
>retreat
>enemy eventually dies of attrition
>attack retreating enemy with what's left
>GLORIOUS VICTORY, WE SAVED THE WORLD, GEROYAM SLAVA, RUSSIA STRONK
Have a look at shit like Russian civil war, Invasion of Afghanistan or the war against Japan to see how Russians fare when they can't rely on their stupid weather
They'll overcome that problem by using an American cast. Watch out for Nicholas Cage as the Duke of Wellington.
I mean I would watch Cage as the dike of wellington just out of curiosity
>Russians
You mean the Prussians?
This what i was thinking
who are you talking to and why are you obsessed with americans?
are only americans allowed to make movies???
they killed my dog
this
To kike friendly, jews only make movies about white people trying to kill them. Napolean doesnt fit the agenda.
>Bonaparte emancipating the Jews.
Revolutionary France enacted laws that first emancipated Jews in France, establishing them as equal citizens to other Frenchmen. In countries that Napoleon Bonaparte's ensuing First French Empire conquered during the Napoleonic Wars, he emancipated the Jews and introduced other ideas of freedom from the French Revolution. For instance, he overrode old laws restricting Jews to reside in ghettos, as well as lifting laws that limited Jews' rights to property, worship, and certain occupations.
i'm sorry user

no but the american movie industry is the only that can afford a historical war epic
Lol yeah imagine if aryan people had access to eurasia ressources we would probably be exploring the galaxy now. Glad it didn't happen and the anglos kept everyone in the mud on this shithole planet.
Still wasnt good enough for sheisty kikes.

>Napoleon was interested primarily in seeing the Jews assimilate, rather than prosper as a distinct community
Jesus fucking christ. I can't stop hating kikes because of this attitude. YOU LIVE IN FUCKING FRANCE ADOPT FRENCH CULTURE OR GET OUT, UNGRATEFUL SONS OF BITCHES
seething anglos aside you are mostly right, it wasn't the UK that single-handedly ended Napoleon (and it certainly wasn't that fag Wellington). Russians, prussians, spaniards and french traitors were the people that ended him, england naval involvement only prevented him to come BTFO their ass so without the coalitions it would at best have been a stalemate
Now if there are no great Napoleon movie it's because
>anglo-saxons dominate the movie industry
>liberal minded people don't like Napoopan
>americans only care about themselves
Eveyone outside of the Anglosphere already realizes this.
The Duellists
>Why do English take credit for ending Napoleon
Trafalgar and Waterloo.
>Why do the Russians take credit for ending Napoleon when it was really the seasons?
Everyone attributes it to General Winter and the ruskies scorched earth policy.
one didn't change the situation on the continent, the other happened when napoopan was already doomed and wasn't even won by the brits
That's why they're not doing it, there's no way you can paint the Germans as aggressors in that conflict
