So I Clipped The Additional Scene With Tsar Alexander From The Director’s Cut Of Ridley Scott’s Napoleon

so I clipped the additional scene with Tsar Alexander from the director’s cut of Ridley Scott’s Napoleon

Bizarrely it’s in Russian (and a really bad one at that) so I translated what I understood under the cut if someone is curious. I don’t know who the man in the red coat is supposed to be (my best guess is Lord Witworth, the English ambassador to Russia). All in all the scene does little to add depth to the conflict between Russia and France because seemingly the only reason Alexander is even torn about going to war is that he might lose again

Man in red: “What’s good for your friend Napoleon is bad for Russia. And what’s bad for Russia can’t be good for your Majesty. Trade with Britain (?) is essential for the greatness of Russia. Your father made a grave mistake by putting himself above the interests of his country. I wouldn’t want to see your Majesty become… unpopular with the Russian people.”

Alexander: “I am not my father. You’re making a mistake that you will regret if you think that I am like him. Russia will ally itself with the English once more. I am not afraid of Napoleon”
