It was too condensed. I did not like the film's portrayal of his love life with Josephine and it seems simply a summary of his conquests and ultimate defeats. The film did manage to show the ancient form of duying with honor and courage in regimental formations with direct frontal confrontation. Sort of a duel of honor.

The quote "a man like me cares little for the lives of millions" is on of Napoleon's most misrepresented quotes. It's often used to show his callousness, but is always given without context. Yes, (according to Metternich) he said this, but in an attempt to display strength or 'bluster' to show Metternich that "he was perfectly willing to return to war unless he received decent peace terms" Andrew Roberts, in Napoleon the Great. Metternich and the allies at this time (1813), were constantly offering very harsh and arguably unfair peace terms, despite Napoleon 's willingness to negotiate (they pretty much wanted him to renounce all conquests of his time as emperor). This also shows contrary to popular belief, Napoleon was not the warmonger he is often made out to be. In many ways it was the monarchs of Europe who perpetuated war since they couldn't stand the thought of Napoleon's existence as a ruler (a prime example is emperor Alexander of Russia - he is quoted as saying that he never had any intention of making peace with him and that "I would rather live as a hermit with a beard down to my legs eating potatoes than make peace with him", or something like that).

It is absolutely untrue that the peace conditions offered by the allies were unfair and unacceptable. Even after the disastrous russian campaign and the following defeats in Germany, at a point at which a total French defeat was on the horizon, Napoleon was offered immediate peace within the imperial borders stretching beyond the Rhine river. This would have been a powerful position for France not only for the moment, but also going forward through the 19th century, as it would have held the German rhineland which became the center of industrialization on the mainland. Actually Metternich WANTED to keep France strong, because he needed them as an ally against a dominant Russia, threatening to emerge out of the Napoleonic Wars. But Napoleon was not willing to accept any compromise and brought about his ultimate downfall himself.
@kostatsanidis9984

The book I was reading described them as unfair, I guess because he eventually lost, the offers could be argued to have been fair (in hindsight). Also Metternich's relationship with Napoleon is complicated, it's unclear if he ever really wanted to make peace with France, I mean he was the architect behind turning Austria against France despite emperor Francis being Napoleon's father in law at that point.

Napoleon's vision of being lifted into the sky is the same elevation of consciousness which overcame Nietzsche in the form of Zarathustra; the same archetype. _I have walked on the surface of the sun. I have witnessed events so tiny and so fast they can hardly be said to have occured at all. But you, Adrian, you're just a man. The world's smartest man poses no greater threat to me than it's smartest termite._ -- Alan Moore describing the archetype of the Self through the character of Jon Osterman. It is the archetype of the Self which is the true architect of greatness. The so-called great man is merely it's instrument.

Napoleon (unfortunately) suffered from a secret wound of not trusting enough his eminent commanding marshalls to do the job assigned right, and kept interfering in their assigned missions, wasting his own nerves. But -- to have worthy subordinates, it is essential to make use of their lives sparingly and not sacrifice everything on one bet -- because it is essential for a genuine commander to preserve the sound stock of his subordinates or followers to be able to sustain the basis to fight on another day. And therein Napoleon failed, for even with the support of eminent Jews and Germans and Frenchmen, he still gambled away too many lives from the sound stock of the population that would be receptive to quality leadership in the future. Instead, his fall brought down the largest part of the sound stock of Europeans who would have been able to produce children as future men who could rise to the occasion when a better Napoleon emerges. France has been a basket case ever since Napoleon, and now Germany ever since Hitler who was a far inferior nature to Napoleon's. The result: the basket case of modern Europe that clings to the drying suckle of the boob of American leadership to provide for her future.

Nietzsche seems to have a misunderstanding of how the ancient aristocracies came into being, and that colors everything that he argues about them. The great chiefs of the original human tribes ruled as the first among equals, by the general will of their tribes. Some of them later became viewed as demi-gods and folk heroes, at their times they were simply the acknowledged leaders. However, aristocracy through history is always the result of the priest class colluding with chiefs to impose the subservience of a once free people. They create taboos that are designed to make specific persons more special/sacred than the rest of the population. Those enforced taboos then turn into the class distinctions (aristocracy: chief/chief's household/chief's personal warriors, middle class: priests, merchants, scholars, low class: everyone else). Point being, aristocracies came into being to degrade most of the population, not to uplift them. Such a system can only exist while the majority of a population conceives of itself as lesser than the rulers, and it's in the best interest of an aristocracy to keep the people simple and stupid, ensuring that great men don't arise among them. Given that aristocratic desire to suppress the natural nobility of humanity, it's honestly pretty fitting that most every aristocracy eventually collapses into a mass of manipulative backstabbing fops with superiority complexes.

"ruled as the first among equals, by the general will of their tribes" Because they were recognised as particularly competent. They also shaped the collective will and morality of the tribe, which is Nietszche's point. Everything that you consider good or evil was taught to you as such by society (in particular by both leaders and writers/artists), people nowadays are still obeying the likes of John Locke and Stuart Mill without even knowing who those men were. Nietszche was right that liberal values, seen through platonic or christian lenses, breed weakness and nihilism. But this can be fixed with a change in perspective. Without platonic forms, western democracy is a powerful, might makes right system.

@@adamastor9869 There were some reformers, war heroes, and prophets who did have a particular impact on their peoples (sometimes for the better, other times for the worst). However, the point is that outside of the monotheistic/aristocratic context there is a much greater emphasis placed on personal psychological freedom. For example, consider that the most famous religious rite of Native Americans involves a young man going into the wilderness alone to survive and meditate on personal meaning. In Hinduism the personal devotional altar of a Hindu holds small images of various deities and gurus that are personally important to that specific Hindu, which may be added to or changed over their life. In most of the world the important rites were originally controlled by lodges/initiatory societies that an individual would choose and then have to prove themselves worthy to enter. In China there's an entire undercurrent of thought called Taoism which rejects the ideal of the celestial court that justifies the Confucian system (that story roughly teaching that in creating the world the gods raked up dirt that turned into the peasant population, while taking time to personally shape some dirt by hand that became the aristocracy). Just looking at the world today, the new aristocracies are China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, the theo-centric Middle Eastern countries, etc. And the sort of general population that is produced under those systems is very much a sort of slave-mind, someone who just does this or that because they're told to. And when they protest its almost always because their most base needs have not been met (I've seen so many protests out of China where the appeals are to satisfying their stomachs).

It is deeply foreign to Nietzsche's mentality to contemplate that a person might genuinely be disinterested in power, so he is necessarily seeks to conclude that such people are drawn to seek power by way of subterfuge rather than dominance. While that idea has a great deal of merit, it ignores the compensatory persective that the powerful seek dominance not because they aspire to greatness but because they fear weakness and destitution; that they are paranoid and insecure rather than bold and pioneering. Nietzsche must condemn the really very normal and healthy attitudes of the "last man" because otherwise he would have to admit that they represent a distinct and equally valid mode of life and of construing the world from his own as opposed to being defective versions of himself too cowardly to openly strive to seize the kingdom of heaven by storm.

You're misunderstanding what Nietszche means by will to power, which is indeed a dificult concept to fully grasp. The "last men" do not fight for their lifestyle, those who do cannot be "last men". Right after the Ukraine invasion, some sensus came out claiming that most people in the West would not be willing to join a defense of their own countries if they where in the same situation. This right here is the issue. If western people trully loved democracy and liberalism, we would fight for it and perhaps even seek to propagate it. Instead, it seems most individuals simply prefer it over other systems in a very hedonistic, dispassionate, nihilistic sort of way.

I didn't read Nietzsche. But exactly what Napoleon's movie (Joaquim Pheonix) can teach us, is something _about_ Nietzsche's Philosophy, but in this precisely, paradoxical sense: Those who think of themselves and behave themselves, as superior beings and by this kind of attitude and acts disrupting the lives of the other people, must NOT be treated with Respect by the 'common' people; on the contrary. It is only through individual and collective Indignation, and the Educated realisation of the logical consequences of the Barbarism and Destruction involved in the evilness corresponding to radical Narcissistic mindset and behavior from disruptive people such as Napoleon (but these dangerous people are everywhere, even though they are _relatively_ not that many), that can arise the true Ubermensch but as the 'new common people' ("Sigma" is a meme, but that's an interesting cultural reference). When everyone learns what Respect is and practices it radically (Respect for oneself and for the other who proves to deserve), then everyone becomes Ubermensch, and then no more Narcissist can take over power in human relations, whether in families, companies, institutions, governments, etc. You are not Ubermensch, if you are not able to teach this to yourself _and_ to your fellows. Of course, I'm here morphing the Ubermensch concept, in order to make it more powerful in this perspective: The real Ubermensch, is the individual that grow balls to learn and to teach these values, and to render the People's common sense, INTOLERABLE to "Fake Ubermensch", like was proven to be Napoleon, as well as other agressors. The Ubermensch is Intelorant to the Intelorants; and this means protecing not just oneself, but the others fellows which are or can become victims of the Fake Ubermensch. This is a Freezing War. Watch that Napoleon movie (because it is a subtle Deconstruction of the meaning of Napoleon _AND HENCE_ of the Nietzche's original concept of Ubermensch potentially), then watch the original Star Trek's controversial episode 22 _Space Seed_ from the 1º season. It all revolves around the most brilliant reasoning from Spock, in the first scene of the following video; Spock understands the logical consequence of homo sapiens falling in love with those 'enchanting' people (Fake Ubermensch), but he fails in teaching this reasoning to his fellows; their only luck, is because they live in Ficction in the future and not in the XXI century: kzitem.info/news/bejne/k2-Yt6aEiZR4jH4

No Athenian citizen cared about being a famous in any particular field... the greatest drama writer didn't put any word about own achievements on own grave except one, taking part is one of many Athenians in a historical battle. Athenian "individualism" was totally collectivist and was building common good and culture without caring about egoist self and own greatness over others 😂 They chased ideal and they cared for whole chain of generations not about own place in history. Alexander came and single handedly destroyed this and whole Greek culture and identity he globalised greekness cutting it away from blood source the same as french egalitarianism without element of cherishing own bloodline and ancestral ways built upon genocide of own ethnic brothers en masse... Napoleon and revolution was cause of actual degradation of french ethnicities blended out from existence as french identity as well as german identity became universalised and globalised Napoleon being Corsican not French only added to it and promoted itself this direction... or Alexanders being Macedonian not fully Greek or Attila or Hitler or Stalin or British royals not being british, or many imposter "russian" Tzars or even Augustus in Rome, not son of Ceasar and not from original roman stock but one early added to Latins, not mentioning many Bysantian "Romans" if you manage a mix, mix promotes mix and mixing, and then you force centralism to unify this chaos to keep it together... if you know what you are you protect it and continue it and you don't even need to think about what is your identity as it just is Napoleon's code was copy of Roman but Roman from late Rome that was globalist and overrun by middle eastern element slowly rotting away without the essence that actually created these laws and made early success of Rome possible lol

Italian national identity didn't even exist in Napoleon's day. He was actually the one to unify Italy after the fall of Rome. He was born in French corsica and never claimed to be anything but French after his rebelious teenage years being sent at the age of 10 in the best schools of France by his father. Why do people always hate the fact that he was French ? Are you guys anti-francophone xenophobe or something ? I don't remember Italy being at peace for a long period of time either.

Napoleon was the spirit of his age. There was nothing ancient about him. He was a threat to the “nobility” and the monarchies of the old regime. The theme of this video could not be more wrong and ahistorical. The reason Napoleon was such a threat was precisely because he was tearing down the old feudal aristocratic structure. And he was most definitely a child and a hero of the revolution. I don’t care what these clowns say.

With such admiration for despots who bend the world over to their might because they found themselves in the selected category of those who forged themselves as natural leaders of their respective flock. I wonder what impression would Nietzsche have concluded on figures like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, who clearly fitted the picture of leaders who have an iron will, sense of leadership and an aptitude to see their plans carried to the bitter end regardless of the loss of life. Interestingly the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during the period of 1930-1940s attempted to realise a synthesis between Nietzsche's understanding of the ''Übermensch'' and their respective ideologies to enforce upon the masses, thus concepts like the ideal: ''Soviet'' and '''Aryan'' man were born.

What can you possibly even remotely know about the history of Hitler or Germany under him? Concept of Ubermensch there meant a man overcoming him animalistic urges in the service of a higher purpose in life. And that's it. It has nothing to do with some racial supremacism. Just like when they talked about aryans they meant preserving their own people in their own country. They said lots of times that they want all races and nations to be supreme in their own lands. You learn history by mainstream propaganda of winners

A weakness of Nietzsche was his almost boyish love of a 'penny-dreadful' romantic view of worldly power. At some point, I dimly remember, he makes a sort of apology for Cambyses in Herodotus, who is described as brutally murdering somebody because he could. The details escape me. But anyway the point is Nietzsche had a tendency to overrate to the point of tickling and licking, like a dog at heel, the fingers if not the balls of predatory ruling classes.

Just another proof why this guy has never read Nietzsche and no one should listen to him, read this quote by Nietzsche (translation below): „Solche Menschen wie Napoleon müssen immer wieder kommen und den Glauben an die Selbstherrlichkeit des einzelnen befestigen: er selber aber war durch die Mittel, die er anwenden mußte, korrumpiert worden und hatte die noblesse des Charakters verloren. Unter einer andern Art Mensch sich durchsetzend, hätte er andere Mittel anwenden können; und so wäre es nicht notwendig, daß ein Cäsar schlecht werden müßte.“ "Individuals like Napoleon must continually emerge to reinforce the belief in the self-importance of the individual; however, he himself had been corrupted by the means he had to employ and had lost the nobility of character. Asserting himself through a different type of person, he could have employed different means; thus, it would not be necessary for a Caesar to become corrupt."
