Napoleon's Coup To Overtake The French Parliament Scene - Napoleon (2023) 

I don’t think Ridley ever stopped doing drugs.

He was on something strong for this entire horrific movie. I'm fine with making changes to a historically based film for entertainment purposes but what an absolute disaster this film was.

Smh he made a movie about Napoleon, into a British love propaganda movie

nah he did it for 2 reasons. Give his Scott Free production people some employment, and a tax write off for himself when it flopped. Win/Win.

@@jayd8091 Ridley's always been a disaster with historical films. He should have stuck to sci-fi.

BOOOO to him!

Napolean is worthy of hatred. Nothing but contempt for such a subhuman troglodyte. Not a great man. A slug.

@@mysteriousstranger6857 True but Ridley Scott was born 3 miles away from where I am right now in England

Bony! 😡👎🔥🍅🥚🥬❌🚫⛔

Rent free

Not at all. It was just a "small" problem that eventually got dealt with by one of our greatest. I ask for a "tiny" favour and please stop having such a "short" fuse with all of this.

It's a joke. A running gag. Everyone says that tongue in cheek. Unclench your butt cheeks and breathe

We beat him so na nah na nah nahhhh

@@johnord684barely.

@@emperorrasheed4177 How can you barely beat someone?

Reasonably accurate, except for the fact that the 30 year old Napoleon is being played by an actor who looks like he's in his mid-fifties.

@@coogrfanand doesn't sounds more American than anything lol...

Yep-Napoleon had one of his most clueless moments in the coup and this scene was true to that-at least for a movie

@@mattatron3152 He didnt run away he had his men with him

No-but he did have a temporary breakdown and was only saved by his brother and the troops (as the movie portrayed)@@rupertbe

That's the main problem, but far from the only one. Casting an actor who is pushing fifty to play young Napoleon (to say nothing of casting someone 15 years younger to play Josephine) is equally problematic.

@@coogrfan that's right and i kinda feel bad for joaquin even if the writing sucks he gave his best acting

@@mariuscozma4271 Phoenix is a tremendous actor, he's just too old to play the young General Bonaparte. I watched a really interesting video the other day that discusses how this movie could have be fixed. One of their first suggestions was to focus on the period of Napoleon's life for which JP would have been age appropriate. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oVQBAp0CdkU.htmlsi=Ztc7v-7pbfEfMt7z

@@coogrfanshe hot

@@Uretard2121 Definitely, but that's not the point. Napoleon was born in 1769; Josephine was born in 1763.

who

Yeah, wtf.

I like it, it seems more real

@@user-bx1mf3zb8y agree

Lmao

Same I’m upset that they chose to focus so much on his wife rather than just him or him and his family (who are all far more interesting than Josephine is)

Really? You were excited? You watched him claim that Rome turned republic after Emperor Commodus' death, that Balian of Ibelin was a bastard blacksmith in France with a British accent, that Robin Hood fought a medieval D-Day, and you thought that he'd treat Napoleon with decency??

@@JimmySteller he didn’t claim Rome turned republic after commodus died. And I know the other 2 aren’t true but I would have thought he would give us something good with Napoleon

They never do their homework.

Shut the fuck up its a movie!

Well it is Hes-Story 😂

This is one of rhe most accurate parts of the movie

Bruh, as an actual historian I can tell you three things: This is really close to what happened, is a movie, and stfu

BOOOO!

Oh, I thought it was a career change after being emperor of Rome 😒😒😒

Who let u speak lil e-girl😂

She’s not wrong tho

The failed 45th is worse than napoleon, however.

@@ThePreparedSailorHardly, however your trite, autobotic, petty drivel is a great tell that the failed, unstable 45th's cult is as trumplethinnskinned as ever...

@@Kurt-ci1dk im sure he cant explain this question......how Trump is worst??

@@PestiLencE638 English not your first language it seems, komrade.

This event was an absolute shitshow, so Napoleon being dazed, confused and all over the place checks out here. The ministers, the soldiers, not even Napoleon himself really knew what was happening.

Oh hold up everyone, this bloke claims to have known the man himself.

Should've let Mel Gibson make this movie.

This is actually how it went though lol. He entered, they all started acting like a bunch of schoolgirls in a fight, he left, and came back with his army. Honestly I think making this comical wasn't a bad decision on Ridley's part because history often is really funny.

As a side note this isn't an "English narrative" we hate this movie every bit as much as you do.

@@Delogros You are right I should have said this "anglo-saxon narrative" ! I was a little bit angry because it is not the first time that an "anglo-saxon movie" depict wrongly historical facts related to FRANCE...like the movie Dunkirk for example.

@@alexandrelougansk2412 Anglo-Saxon and English are more or less the same thing... What was the main issue with Dunkirk? Are you honestly telling me French films/TV have no "French narrative" in them? Also this film is at least partly America's fault and America is France's fault so :p

be mad your too poor to watch the movie

Now watch as you go on to say that Gladiator is a masterpiece lmao.

This guy should read up more about history

@@sprodersprack4257I mean the first one kinda was 🤷‍♂️

@@sprodersprack4257 "Gladiator", although a work of fiction, is actually a pretty good film. It has engaging characters and an actual storyline, both of which are conspicuously absent from "Napoleon".

Tried it, didn't work.

"Citizens, you have been dissolved!" The "Dandy King" played an all-important role as Napoleon's Cavalry commander of the Coup of 18 Brumaire.

There actually is an extended 4hours version yet to be released. Let's hope it's any better

lmao

Don't overly care about the accent in the same way I wouldn't particularly care if American/English Characters in French movies spoke exclusivly French, it's a relativly minor issue for most people.

Para qué? Está bien así. Más líquido hace que pierda el sabor.

Was the war of 1812 around that time. Not to mention Nepoleon put a day of mourning when Goerge Washington died.

I don't blame them

I don’t recall the US colonist being upset when the French help seat the British peasant in 1776. The British monarchy was horrified

@@suntzu94 and I don't recall 1770s having anything to do with 1790s, which is the exact time US no longer took the side of French, rightfully so

LOL IKR

🤣

🤣🫣😅😅😂😂🤣 Que gracioso comentario. Estos bichitos son tan ingeniosos a veces en sus respuestas.

That was my exact thought during the whole movie, where is one of Napoleons most important men? Same with fouche and many others

Where are *any* of the Marshals?

@@coogrfanImagine a film showing the relations between Napoleon and his marshals. What a story! Murat, Lannes, Ney, Davout and others

The Dandy King, Murat: "Citizens you have been dissolved!" Total badass 😅😅

Zionist woke false one

Napo era un mal necesario de los anglos y gringos. El primero para generar alboroto contra el Imperio español, Buenos Aires capital del Virreinato del Rio de la Plata tendría más territorio, pero estaban tan “afrancesados” (unitarismo y divisiones internas) que perdimos la Banda Oriental y el Sur del Brasil (Cuenca del Plata y Puerto de Montevideo). Simón Bolivar otro escollo de la cual sacaría provecho el Imperio del Brasil contra la Audiencia de Charcas y la futura Bolivia, a pesar de que a Bolivar lo acusaron de vaciar la Hacienda de Lima. Eso del lado Inglés. Del lado Gringo, al financiar la guerra con la irrisoria venta de Luisiana, disolver el Sacro Imperio y sentar las bases para el libertinaje y más divisiones. Pdt: El Sacro Imperio estaba por evolucionar y contener al Imperio Ruso o saldar cuentas contra él o revertir la Guerra del Norte hacía tiempo atrás para finalmente tener vía libre e ir a los Balcanes enfrentando al Imperio Otomano excepto el Medio Oriente. Dependendiendo la Geoestrategia o las relaciones comerciales. Pdt: Es lo que me ‘imagino’ (una intuición mía) excepto de que fue un mal necesario 😁. Pdt2: Sobre el Código Napoleónico, estaba el derecho romano, otro lo iba a pulir. Pdt final: En el caso Centro y Sud americano desde la independencia, republiquetas unidas bajo el sobreendeudamiento del semicoloniaje con estructuras desequilibradas a causa de Napo, que para revertir el desastre de Waterloo, los franceses tuvieron que conquistar Africa por sus recursos.

And their legislature chose that directory

ridley scott hasn't made a good movie since body of lies

@@meherenow793 Esta peli la compensa.

He is Frenchman. What other reason people do need?

@@filipmaly6603 They wanted kill Napóleon not random he retreat outside and asked help from National security elit guards

He was weakening parliament while making himself more powerful like a despot

Whats wrong with that ?

He surrounded the parliament with an army and asked them to change gov , a coup

But it isn't more entertaining though... The batle of Austerlitz would have been amazing if shown properly and way more cinematic, it is also non sensical "Make them think they have the high ground" well we have eyes, the Austrians are quite clearly in the low ground and the idea that and army fighting in their own country doesn't have one guy in it who knows they are on a lake is jsut beyond stupid, and yes stupid things do break immersion and entertainment... Now if you know nothing about military tactics and history it might be fine but most people know what a bloody hill/ridge looks like.

So what's your point? That we shouldn't hate on this film's horrible disrespect, just because Scott's _always_ disrespectful of history?

They relate it to age. It’s wasn’t clear she was the one who had fertility issues since she already had children before Napoleon.

@@Jose.AFT.Saddul Yes but presumably some years earlier before Napoleon's "turn"

Mandó a sacrificar caballos para alimentar a sus Sans Culottes antes de Marengo.

in reality is was just the old guard that marched there, it happend the same day, they marched from Paris about 5km to the south.

As others have pointed out, the biggest mistake Sir Ridley made (apart from hiring an absolute hack of a screenwriter) was trying to cram Napoleon's entire career into a single film.

what else do you expect from movies that are made in Woke time? I'm surprised they didn't make her a feminist or didn't make him gay

I'm a Brit and I respect Napoleon as one of the great men of history, he deserved more respect than this. This was a Hollywood production so blame the yanks. The script was written by an American, David Scarpa.

I know blaming us makes you feel better and all, but we hate this film as well, Character assasination is always bad even if it is an "old enemy"... Besides if the "Brits" where trying to look cool we would have made Napoleon intimidating and so defeating him more impressive while Napoleon in the movie is a mouse of a man.
