#the duellists 1977

Ridley Scott: I made a film about two rival officers constantly duelling throughout and in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, and now I've actually done a film about Napoleon!

Me: Great! Could you also do a film about Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, a vital innovator in European battlefield surgery and triage, often considered the first military surgeon; who pioneered the ambulance volantes ("Flying ambulances") to quickly transport wounded men from the battlefield, effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units; co-led the team that performed one of the first accurately recorded pre-anaesthetic mastectomies in Western medicine; was spotted helping wounded men while under heavy fire during the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington who purposefully ordered for his soldiers not to fire in Larrey's direction; and when captured by the Prussians after the battle was about to be executed on the spot when he was recognised by one of the German surgeons, who pled for his life because he had saved the life of Field Marshall Blücher's son some years earlier?

Ridley Scott:

Ridley Scott: Um.

Me: Yeah. Didn't think so.

#Yeah; Baron Larrey was one of my dad's heroes #When we went to Père Lachaise Cemetery we went partly to honour his grave #ridley scott #Baron Dominique Jean Larrey #baron larrey #Dominique Jean Larrey #napoleon 2023 #the duellists #the duellists 1977 #check out the duellists; it's a REALLY good film! #Larrey did a lot of other stuff that I didn't mention; otherwise I'd just be vomiting the wikipedia page #He was a close favourite of Napoleon and went on the Egyptian campaign #he started a school in Cairo where he researched opthalmy (inflammation of the eye) #He made sure that all soldiers (not just French and their allies) were treated #The mastectomy was to treat suspected breast cancer #(unknown to this day if there actually was cancer but perhaps better safe than sorry) #and the patient was Frances Burney #who frankly deserves a film or tv series of her own #If you're up for it she wrote her own description of what the operation was like; which is there to read on her wikipedia page #Whether or not her breast WAS cancerous she lived another thirty years #Ironically her husband DID die of cancer #anyway #*jazz hands*

The DUELLISTS (1977) - NAPOLEON IN MOVIES (Part 4/10)

Before he filmed Napoleon, Ridley Scott was already fascinated with the era and the epics when he decided to film his first big budget movie in 1977.

The movie is set during the Napoleonic era wars starting in 1801 following 2 French soldiers (Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel) duelling through the various campaigns till 1815.

One of the most beautifully filmed movies with incredible lights and settings that is a must watch to enjoy both Cinema and the Napoleon battles

Above are the original French and Japanese posters printed for the 1977 release of the movie (Click on each image for details).

Director: Ridley Scott Actors: Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel

“Nobody understands why you fight with him. It's supposed to be a secret between the pair of you. I believe it's a secret of your very own. I believe you feed your spite on him with no more sense than a blood-sucking louse.”

I was tagged in this meme, so we're doing this cuz it's Friday

Thank you for tagging me @esicko

Last song: That I listened to, liked on Spotify, Googled or sang? BE SPECIFIC, MEME. To that end: I dunno, something from this playlist (it got a bit precious so I turned it off); "Early in the Morning", Peter, Paul and Mary; "The Ballad of Sally Anne", performed by Rhiannon Giddens; "Fairy Tale of New York", The Pogues, with Kirsty MacColl (RIP, Shane McGown; no you don't have to sing the slur).

Favorite colour: Blue, but a deep burgundy is always pleasing to the eye (and the palate).

Last movie watched: (WHERE? C'mon meme, you could plumb so much deeper with these Qs) at home, The Duellists (1977, Ridley Scott, dir.), which was a deliberate choice to wash the memory of trying to watch Ridley Scott's Napoleon from my brain (what an irredeemable, ahistorical, poorly cast, indifferently acted, turgidly-paced, self-indulgent, steaming pile of horseshit); in theatres, Argylle.

Currently watching: My computer screen.

Sweet, spicy or savoury: Savoury, which can also include spicy flavours (and often does). My three favourite flavours are peppermint, cinnamon, and the tears of my enemies.

That last one is a lie—I prefer a nice primativo or pinot noir.

Relationship status: Depends on the *type* of relationship, now doesn't it? XP

Last thing googled: "pinot noir or Pinot Noir" (on any given day, I retain only enough knowledge of the rules of capitalization to know that I should double-check the rules of capitalization when proofreading).

Current Obsession: Must I narrow it down to just one? In no particular order—fountain pens, FemShep from Mass Effect, werewolves, SHOGUN on Disney+ (may your knives chip and shatter), mastering the combat system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance (KCD dev team, you can eat my whole ass), Viking-era and medieval European swords, Willow (2022), ridiculously expensive Japanese paper, my friends, my niblings, and these overalls that I bought at Target.

Current/last read: The Hero and The Crown, Robin McKinley (1984).

Looking forward to: Finishing the piece of fiction I stared on August 2, 2023.

Tagging in: Anyone who sees this and wants to play, and also my darlings @thassalia, @handypolymath, @frelledbyfate, and @cretkid—I always want to know you better.

Hey, I saw you @starsgoblue come back here (but only if you feel like it 😘). You, too, @kernezelda. Get in there. 😘

Throwing @wigster07, @overkill-max, and @rehizle28 into the barrel as well to see who bites. 😜

watched The Duellists (1977). gay sex wouldn't have solved this but would have made it funnier. that said, every single one of those duels was fought while being rock hard.

#it's the truth #movies #The Duellists

[itsnothingbutluck]

The Duellists is a 1977 historical drama film that was Ridley Scott's first feature film as a director. It won the Best Debut Film award at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival. The basis of the screenplay is the Joseph Conrad short story The Duel (titled Point of Honor in the United States) published in A Set of Six. (1)

friend's advise (dr. Jacquin to d'Hubert about his situation with Feraud): You cannot fight, one: if you're in different places; physical impossibility. Two: if you're of different ranks; breach of discipline. And three: if the State is at war; duels of nations take absolute precedence. Therefore, keep away from him, keep ahead of him and put your trust in Bonaparte.
