it is not possible to get a horse to charge a wall of pikes or bayonets, unlike their riders the skittish horse is unable to have suicidal tendencies and favors self preservation over liberty, fraternity, or equality
if you lock your knees in the straight position while standing for an extended period of time, you will pass out. something about the blood flow through your legs being restricted in that locked position.
In the military thats one of the first things youre taught about standing in formation for long periods, to bend your knees at least slightly every 3 minutes or so or you run the risk of losing consciousness. i've seen it many many times and women are overwhelmingly prone to ignoring that part of their training and faceplanting the pavement
Literally all the calvary needed to do was ignore them and keep going forward. The infantry literally gave them a free opening by moving aside to make these formations.
I knew nothing about Napoleon before this movie but now I know he was an incel who fired cannons at the pyramids and then Europe was liberated by the heroic and genius British army. Thank you for making me educated and cultured Ridley Scott
Literal children were riding those horses.
Why didn't they throw a grenade in the middle?
There's a guy in the middle with a baseball bat that swings the grenades back out.
lul
honhonhon
they already used them all, that is why they were forced to charge
>be perfidius
>fight through proxies
>show up late to claim victory

>>show up late to claim victory
The British were at Waterloo first. It was the Prussians who showed up late.

just make your horse jump over them. get one horse in there freaking out and they'll break formation

why is Wellington like 80 years old
wasn't he actually younger than napoleon
>wasn't he actually younger than napoleon
Were you there?
I was not so I'll concede my previous post on the matter. Apologies.
Uh no *sweats gayishly*
>Were you there?
How do you respond to this without sounding mad?
>Yes.
hahahahaha
what was the point of that thread????
Let's be honest, it never stood a chance at touching the superior Napoleon movie.
Why did that guy fall over? It looks like a hot day, did he get enough to drink?

i cant believe i held out hope that this might be good. perhaps im not overly cynical after all
Wtf did they do to Ney
Did they even say his name once during the film? I only realised he was supposed to be Ney when he said "see how a Marshal of France meets his death"
Why are they fighting at night?
I sure hope that's not the best shot of the battle
Who did it better, some bong with a billion dollars worth of cgi or a spaghetti man with some hungry soviets?
No amount of CGI in the world has ever succeeded in matching the power of 20,000 extras.
There's simply no substitute.
How do you it then if you're so smart?
is this real?
with that color grading, it looks like they are doing day-for-night
No, Europe just looks that ugly all the time.
To what? I can't see shit
