I saw this as a first run movie in London when I was 8. I don't think anyone has ever done a better job of filming the way these kinds of battles looked. They had a huge bunch of guys from the Soviet army who were doing all the soldier movements. No CGI. That helicopter shot of the cavalry charging the Wellington squares is just unbelievably complex. Thank you for this!
@@Grayhouselikestitanic1912 You mean the bit where the whole orchestra plus canons kicks in, and it's like a Classical AC/DC concert? Or do you mean 3 hours?
Tecnically yes, but a lot of people have a misconception about the battle of Waterloo. It wasn't only a british victory, in fact, a lot of the army was composed of troops and militias of neighbouring german states (like Brunswick or Nassau) and the Netherlands, and of course there was the prussian army who came to help Wellington's forces at the end
This is Russian music. The irony is that every July 4th, American ignoramuses stand to the anthem of Russian empire. The last musical notes are a quote from the Russian imperial anthem))) this is very fun for every Russian.
Why is the 1812 overture, made by a Russian, to celebrate the Russian victory over France, being played in a scene depicting a battle where Russia was not involved?
At Waterloo, without the Prussians, England loses open a book. Thanks Prussia. In 1815, Napoleon's army was already a shadow of its former self and had lost its strength. The Grande Armée was decimated in 1812 by the Russian retreat against the Russians, there was nothing left of the army. Hence the title of the video “1812” and the work of Tchaikovsky. Waterloo was an inexperienced army. I know that the English always want to seize the glory but their role in the war was secondary. . He simply paid the other nations, Austria, Prussia, Russia, etc. so that they can wage war in his place.
En Waterloo, sin los prusianos, Inglaterra pierde un libro. Gracias Prusia. En 1815, el ejército de Napoleón ya era una sombra de lo que era antes y había perdido su fuerza. La Grande Armée fue diezmada en 1812 por la retirada rusa contra los rusos, no quedó nada del ejército. De ahí el título del vídeo “1812” y la obra de Tchaikovsky. Waterloo era un ejército sin experiencia. Sé que los ingleses siempre quieren hacerse con la gloria pero su papel en la guerra fue secundario. . Simplemente pagó a las otras naciones, Austria, Prusia, Rusia, etc., para que pudieran hacer la guerra en su lugar.
Lepanto es la batalla más importante y genial de toda la historia, además de defender la Fe y la iglesia católica En las guerras napoleónicas solo lo hacían para ganar terreno y Napoleón ese es un demonio de porquería secuestro a dos papas ( Papa PioVI y Papá PioVII
