War & Peace
Season 1
Episode 4

Set against the backdrop of Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, "War and Peace" is a story of passion, romance, scandal, and deceit surrounding the rising and falling fortunes of five aristocratic families; the Bezukhovs, Bolkonskys, Drubetskoys, Kuragins and Rostovs; in the waning days of imperial Russia.

How can it be so British and yet so Russian simultaneously... So many deep and thoughtful moments...

[gabbykingmusic]

Paul Dano is the most versatile actor I've seen.

[tobylawson]

This production is simply one of the most special things I’ve ever seen, and the sentiment at the end is so deeply true — true enough and beautiful enough to keep you going.

[LaPtiteAnglaise]

This production was beautiful. Truly. A really special series.
Paul Dano ALSO knocks our accent out the park. One of the only times I’ve heard an American actor do it without it being obvious or parodied.
God I loved this adaptation

Я русская и читала роман в оригинале. Эта экранизация прекрасна, я очень ее люблю. Эта сцена - моя любимая. Спасибо, дорогие британцы, за этот прекрасный фильм! Вы огромные молодцы!

[thicketwings]

Such a gorgeously shot ending. I remember weeping when it was aired.

[merrybrandybuck]

I'm happy they chose an actor to play older Nikolushka who looks exactly like James Norton!

[kimwexler]

This book changed and improved my life, in the severist of terms.

I felt so sorry for Sonya in this scene. She didn't deserve this 😢

[michellemckinney]

I adored this series. Was bored post pandemic and actually purchased this series on a whim. I tend to love period and historical dramas. It was slow at first and by second episode I was completely hooked.

Sobbed after Andrei died. Eyes watering when Marya tells Nickolei how long she’s waited for him. And exhaled at the end.

Loved how nothing was neatly tied up into a bow with a happy Pollyanna type ending. This was more realistic. How life can be rough. But we choose to shine through the darkest of times.

A complete triumph!

[shelleycowan]

Fantastic drama... loved Paul Dano in this, brilliant actor, his english accent was superb!!

[noorkhalid]

I wish they had gone with the ending scene from the book. How little Nikolay aspires to make his father proud. NEVER👏FORGET👏ANDREY👏😭

[Stella-zzbx]

The end break me 😢😭 it’s simply, more powerful and beautiful... this serie change my life and the vision they have of the life.
Pierre, my god her last words, it’s really true ! ❤️

[junh]

They should have included Pierre's talk (proposal) with Natasha before this scene in the clip. It was wonderful.

[Mel-czsc]

It's so awful that Sonya had to end up living with Nikolai and Marya..cuz i bet she would've never stopped loving Nikolai and that must have really hurt seeing them happy together

[juliemax]

Just epic, can't watch without tears. The Brits produce the Russian's soul with such passion and love in this masterpiece, I thought the translated movie is truly Russian until i watched the titles in the end of an episode!

[StoryScreenMovieReviewPodcast]

This is how Game of Thrones should have ended.

[myg]

Wonderful words I will probably listen to again, well done to Leo Tolstoy, Paul dano, and the bbc

[ppvholn]

Wonderful screen version and an amazing ending. The actors are young as they should be according to the novel.

[fleurpeffer]

It is wonderful to know the truths about life and still be quite young
