Napoleonic movies are usually a bust because they are usually a 2 hour battle movie devoid of context. The Napoleonic Wars lasted for well over a decade, and almost 25 years if you include the French Revolutionary Wars as well. And since the modern education system is crap none of the general public know anything about them.

I've always thought it might work as a TV series, but it would likely be butchered by Anglos.

What the shit? Do you think those were invented in those places specifically?

Scorched Earth and Guerrilla warfare against supply lines are old as fuck tactics, and both were used in Portugal as a defence against the French and the Spaniards 50 years before them.

Both are very effective in Portugal's rough interior terrain. Russia in particular used the scorched earth against Napoleon because of how well it worked in Portugal against general Junot.

That's all they have. Meanwhile Kubrick used superior British production crews, set designers and cinematographers.Even now Americans shoot their films in British production studios because they know of the overall superior quality.

>>86591007
He was tired and so was the entire army after a decade of fighting (and BTFOing) the entirety of Europe plus the cowardly brits who hid on their shitty island then used blood money from the colonies to fund other countries. He wanted a couple of decisive battles to end the war but the Russians were smart enough to see through it and acted accordingly.

No offense but the Russian strategy of running away and burning down their cities isn't really the height of masterful strategy.

To be honest I always saw it as remarkably short sighted. I mean you're selling off land with neatly limitless resources for a couple of bucks because you want to finance your campaign to take over europe which will ultimately fall apart.
I'm saying all of this with the benefit of hindsight obviously, but the french suck at the colonization game.

Because soviets were fucking ready to literally march from moscow to lisbon by the end of summer.

They were preparing for an offensive themselves and had little to no defensive measures.
You take Stalingrad you take the oil fields at the caspian. You have oil to keep fighting against the soviet devil.

Because Napoleon is seen as the bad guy in the anglocentric worldview, whereas hes seen as a liberator in the rest of world.

Since Napoleon and Hitler have ALOT of similarities when it comes to iconography, identity cult and nationalism, its hard to not draw those parallels without creating alot of confusion in the morally inept audience.

tl;dr Hitler and Napoleon are too similar and only Brits see Napoleon as the bad guy.
