Waterloo Original Soundtrack - On to Brussels! (The Old Guard Advance) 

Vive Napoleon!

Agreed. The sound effects in the battles are goofy, IMO, but overall it's superb and serves as the benchmark for large scale historical military films.

One of Them yes

That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

Happy Bicentenary Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (5 may 1821 - 5 may 2021)

@Raven How terrifyingly hilarious that is LOL

Right quotes, wrong song. "The Old Guard is Broken" is where it is from. That soundtrack is where those lines are said.

That one cannon:🗿

I have never seen such bravery, to advance into death and press forward regardless of so many casualties, their legacy will forever live.

I can imagine that a lot of the men who where there and saw those columns advancing felt the same way

Wasn't that the only time the Guard was repulsed?

@@kenbattor6350 They had a couple of setbacks before, notably during their first deployment at Marengo (they were named Consular Guard at the time). Their were Napoleon's last reserve in the area, and were used to close a gap, but they suffered heavily at the hands of the Austrians. The Austrians mounted a combined attack with artillery, infantry and cavalry, and inflicted large casualties; the Guard retreated in good order, forming square, but left a trail of corpses behind them. They took over 50% casualties until they were bailed out by the Consular Guard cavalry.

@@kenbattor6350 it was the only time the Guard ever retreated without orders

Apparently he always followed in front of the old guard true part of the film

Would have been kinder for him to have died on the field.

@@BadSkeelz As honor and bravery? I think so.

@@BadSkeelz indeed, he said during the 1814 defense of France that he tried really hard to die fighting tried a bunch of times by commanding and leading from the front but all the shots and cannon balls missed him shame he had to die from disease, not a fitting end for a warrior king

@@therearenoshortcuts9868 I can't imagine how he felt on his island before dying, thinking maybe everyday what he did wrong in that battle (or some other battle) :c.

A glorious scene. One of the best by Bondarchuk.

The horse kicking up mud… the presence of so many Marshalls and their hat plumes blowing in the wind. “To see you, sire!”

Scène incroyable Vive l'empereur et la grande armée 🇨🇵

The Noobinator what I say in total war

Napoleon was right. If Marshal Grouchy had done his job and pursued Blucher as ordered, the outcome of this pivotal battle would have been much different. I'm very pro-British, but Napoleon simply beat Wellington and the latter was only saved by Blucher's arrival.

Philip Hughes he did pursue what he thought was blucher, but it was only the rearguard. Wellington had too few men, but heald very well. He was prepared for defeat as he had stationed men to protect him should he fall back.

Blah-blah-blah, if it hadn't pissed with rain, if, he (Napoleon) had not been ill with Christ knows what illness, he could have pulled the Tommy Cooper trick, where it all went wrong and it did !! Thank the Lord for Wellington, otherwise you might be French, perish the thought !!

David Brown napoleon would have lost the campaign, that is certain

Hey, hope this gets you to watch it again and get it back in your head

I have no problem its great probably one of my favorite soundtracks ever

Regardless of who wrote it, it's an epic piece of music that would be perfect to march into battle to.

Well this is probably a specific arrangement made for the film, while of course not being an original piece just for the film, if that makes sense

@@justanobadi6655 actually an original period piece

@@KrisWustrow Only from 1:13 to 1:37 is a period piece, which is a snippet of La Victoire Est a Nous. . The rest is by the movie composer. Pistol Pete is right. The first piece up to 1:13 is La Vielle Garde, a piece written by Rota for the film.

No its the 92nd of foot

​@@samuellambe1568 It's a little more complex than that. All of the Imperial Guard took part in covering the retreat, and it was the Middle Guard who took part in the final assault on Wellington's lines. To cut a longer story short, different battalions had different levels of success, and Waterloo only shows the 2nd battalion of the 3rd Regiment of Foot Grenadiers. The 2/3 did fall back, but the British Foot Guards had to then retreat in turn, as the 4th Foot Chasseurs advanced up the ridge at them. 🦁 ☀️ 🐝 ⚡ 🦅 ⚡ 🐝 ☀️ 🦁

"Beat off some of the guard"? That surprise blow left nearly a fifth of the guard dead or wounded on the field, I think you severely understate its impact.

Good save the British Empire

How did Napoleon have vets at Waterloo if in 1814 he had to call up teenage conscripts

@@fredbarker9201 Veterans from the peninsular campaign still remained after the disaster in Russia. Many of whom would become the backbone of the new imperial guard.

And then imagine being a French conscript when you hear the shout from the rolling smoke - 'La Garde Recule! Sauve qui puet!'

@@astratan2238 And then they suddenly hear, "La garde meurt mais ne se rend pas !" they would certainly stop the rout

@@RFIKILLER In my experience soldiers with a way out hearing that their toughest buddies (and last hope of victory) are dying doesn’t do much for their morale, however brave those deaths are.

True, without the bulk of Blucher's army showing up in the afternoon on his left flank, he was beaten. His army was mostly inexperienced and outmatched in many ways by Napoleon's. Everything he did that day, by and large, was a delaying action to buy Blucher time to reach him. He was helped by the substantial rain delays, Ney's blunder and the sheer ability of the men at Hugumont who held the farm for the entire battle, as well as those who stood against the Old Guard and broke them. Wellington is quoted at length for saying how lucky he was - 'A damn near run thing' or 'Give me night, or give me Blucher'.

What an idiotic statement. Napoleon never took the ridge. Wellington won his battle - which was to hold Napoleon in place while Blücher attacked the flank. Napoleon couldn't break through Wellington, i.e., couldn't beat him. Wellington's plan from the start was to simply hold his position. The amount of whiny 'Boo hoo Wellington didn't win' bullshit peddled around Waterloo is frankly pathetic. He wasn't saved by Blücher - he trusted in his ally. Do you think Blücher would have beaten or even fought Napoleon again without Wellington? Blücher wouldn't have even been in Belgium if Wellington hadn't been there. It was an allied victory, simple as. Blücher didn't 'save' Wellington, Wellington executed his part of the plan perfectly, which was to hold Napoleon (who had been an absolute idiot and split his forces don't forget) in place until the Prussians came - which he did. Napoleon tried to break the allied line and failed.

Pяιиcε Mεlισdαѕ i mean you gotta take in account the terrain of at the time and Napoleons other generals and officers mistakes

@@HerbiieIsBest You just said in a fancy way that Wellington alone would not have won at Waterloo against Napoléon and that he required the help from his ally to achieve victory. How does that differ in any way from what the others said?

@@maloflory By what I said. Wellington was not saved by Blucher. Napoleon did not defeat Wellington. Wellington's objective was to hold Napoleon in place. Napoleon's objective was to break through Wellington's line. Wellington completed his objective brilliantly, despite Blucher's late arrival. This is not being 'saved' by anyone. Napoleon most certain did not beat Wellington 'hands down' (and awww boo was he ill as well at the time? Is that why he left the battlefield to go and have a nap... yes, genius general best ever lived), Napoleon failed utterly to complete his objective of breaking through Wellington. Wellington may have said give me Blucher or give me night, but then Blucher was meant to arrive in the early afternoon but was slow. He also said that he was disappointed by Napoleon and that 'he came in the same old way and we beat him in the same old way.' So, in answer to your question, what I said differs from the others because: 1) Blucher did not save Wellington anymore than Wellington saved Blucher. 2) Napoleon did not beat Wellington in any way shape or form. The above comments are all part and parcel of French attempts after the Battle of Waterloo to lessen their defeat, make fairly pathetic excuses for Napoleon like he had a stomach bug, or he actually won, or it was all to do with the weather and nothing to do with the thousands of troops he sent to pursue Blucher rather than keep his forces together... A great example of the French attempts to rewrite history is Pierre Cambronne. In this film, when asked to surrender he shouts 'Merde!', though a journalist who wasn't at the battle said that Cambronne said 'The guard dies it does not surrender.' Both of these responses are a complete fantasy that Cambronne denied, and the Guard did surrender, so are a bit silly. Also there is a reason that Napoleon surrendered to the British, not to the Prussians.

They would cast napoleon to be a black transgender zer. Murat would be a girl in disguise trying to show the world that she can do it

@@artygunnar Phoenix is Napoleon but good cringe

My plan was not perfect. BTW, historians still dispute who ordered the ill-fated cavalry charge. Both Napoleon and Ney denied having given the order. I also failed to commit my Imperial Guard when the cavalry charge took place. If I had sent in the infantry at that moment, things might have been better for France...🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

@@napoleonbonaparteempereurd4676 U are wrong sire!. U should gather recruit troops so u can fight the 2 enemy u lose to waterloo becoz ur just outnumbered by Prussian and British.

Quel dommage

a song without lyrics but with music, what have we learned back then

Nah he came back from Elba for his own personal glory and because of that another 100 thousand french died at Waterloo. Still, if he hadn't come back he wouldn't have become what he is remembered as. A spark of glory will always be more appealing to history than a humble fading of thousands more modest than him.
