Such a wild event. If it was in a work of fiction, no one would believe it could happen. He just comes back and says “yeah, I’m in charge again” and everyone just agrees lol.

I knew a Greek man we used to work together, his name was Napoleon. His father's, grandfather's, grand grand father's and so on until the generation back in centuries where his ancestor happened to be a proud soldier of Napoleon Bonaparte and ever since they were naming their boys Napoleon. Has to be some devotion and admiration towards the man.
-
Fun fact. This happened not just once but multiple times. The French king kept sending armies against Napoleon and all of them joined him.

Early in his career, right after a victory, a French soldier stated, “He’s not like the other Generals, he’s covered in mud and blood!” This was after Napoleon had jumped in to replace a man shot through the eye that was aiming and loading a cannon. He continued to shout orders while operating the cannon. That’s a leader
-
The fact he was such a threat, that Europe declared war on *him*, not France, really speaks something.

3 minutes that are better than the whole Ridley Scott movie...
-
One of the best films in history. This film by Sergei Bondarchuk is still considered in Hollywood as a kind of illustrated manual on how to shoot a truly epic and lively movie with huge masses of people. However, today they don’t know how to shoot like that - everything is replaced with effects, doll-like pop modern faces and a green screen. The era of mediocrity.

Dude had an entire era named after him. I saw his portrait in a nightclub in Bangkok. I'm from India and even in our history, Hyder Ali of Mysore kingdom used to maintain contact with Napoleon Bonaparte to coordinate against the English. His effect on the world was mind blowing. I have read a biography of his a long time ago but I don't remember this scene. I wish someone like Conn Iggulden would cover Napoleon the way he covered Genghis or Caeser.
-
Considering how soldiers were trained to obey orders without question and immediately, it's remarkable that nobody fired when the order was given.
-
So are you telling me that the man that almost subjugated a whole continent was a charismatic and military genius and not a weirdo like the man in Ridley Scott's movie? Impressive.
-
Hats off to the soldier who picked you the sabre and offered it to Napoleon, all for the glory.
-
Even though he lost at the end but for me this is the greatest comeback in history.
-
Well, he might not pick up the ladies, but he sure knows how to pick up the boys.
-
A lot of film enthusiasts lament the fact that Kubrick never made his Napoleon film. I always direct people to this movie, an outstanding achievement that has stood the test of time, like the man himself.
-
It is much better than 2023 napoleon
-
This is 10x better than the scene in the new sh*tty movie
-
His ability to pick up a sword and hand it to its owner is just beyond belief
-
As a Pole (someone Polish, from Poland) I must say we kind of worship him, do we? I mean, he litterally established the Duchy of Warsaw and after the wars ended there was this thing called the "Napoleonic Spirit" where Poles living in Prussia Russia and Austria thought Napoleon was some sort of eldritch angel sent by the catholic God to grant Poland independence and to curse the partitioners. He also designed our flag which I think is pretty cool.

Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the only great men in history to exist in a vaccum, that is to say without him nobody else would have led France to imperium as he did. Napoleon single handedly altered the tajectory of human history without anyone else who could have filled that role

Longue vie à l'empereur 🇫🇷🇫🇷👑👑
