I'll never watch a movie about a homosexual french midget terrorist regardless if it's the only thing available. All officers should be killed and have no place in history.
"Simping" (actual word is devotion) was seen as a virtue at one point in time. A man who gives everything to one person that they love.
That's why men kneel to women.
The advent of the internet made it so men all over "simp" for 1 girl who isn't even local, making them look like desperate fricks.
>British director makes a Napoleon biopic >it's full of historical inaccuracies, contains events that never happened, has glaring omissions, and generally paints its subject as a completely different person than he actually was
Are the British just going to be angry about Napoleon forever? Why are they like this?
Bro, read a fricking book. It was shite on many levels. Not only that, this film doesn't know what it wants to do. A film about Napoleon's love life? or a film about Napoleon the great general. In the end this film does neither.
For instance irl Napoleon made a daring escape from Corsica with the help of local shepherds which he remembered in his Will. He (according to his letters) kinda of considered converting to Islam at one point. It also fails to show that at the time he was viewed as the embodiment of the revolution; there’s a reason the poles and west Germans generally have a higher opinion than the Spanish or austrians
anyone familiar with the period will know that Napoleon was trying to put his family on the thrones of Europe and appreciate the unsympathetic depiction.
The ghost of Pasquale Paoli is going to have words for you for butchering his name like that. But I agree Napoleon’s dynamic with him could constitute a whole movie in itself. Maybe Paoli deserves his relative oblivion though considering how he sold out to George III of all people at the end of his life, wonder what his finals years were like spent in disgrace in England while watching your former rival attain the height of powers and smashing European empires like nothing when you could barely to take over a single island
Whoops yeah Paoli, a real heel turn. The whole era really is too much for a single movie unless you keep the focus short. There so much many scenes I’d love to see like one of Cape St Vincent or Lanne and Murat bluffing to take the Viennas bridge or Ney’s Trial. If you’re at all interested I recommend reading Marcellin Marbots memoirs.
Also reading about the age was very eye opening how butthurt the british are him especially learning how often the french reforms were popular even if they werent
Originally I had 12; but man it’s just so much that would be great to put on film; could maybe condense it to 16 if you shorten the Italian campaigns, Friedland, Spain, and Leipzig
The only better thing was that Vanessa Kirby was way hotter than Emily Blunt or Pugh. Which is funny because if you asked me 10 years ago I would have said I would have preferred Blunt since she was perfect in Edge of Tomorrow
when this was new i went to get my blood taken >cute nurse tells me she just watched it >mention i heard it focuses on the wife a lot instead of him >she says yeah actually it did >conversation ends

The best thing about nu-Ridley is you can see how cognitive decline plays out in real time. Every new flick serves as a reminder of how good he used to be. His brother topped himself because he knew what was coming.
Says more about Oppenheimer's holistic moronation from historicity to failing to follow up on Tenet with a spy-thriller tragedy of one man's treasonous hubris than the quality of Napoleon. Ridley's a great technician, it's the people feeding him scripts that are the problem.
Lip
It was boring trash, and also a lie.
Sure smells like incel in here
Scott won't frick you, anon
Definitely the funniest movie of 2023.
Garbage
A fricking YouTuber with 0 budget made a more interesting and comprehensive biopic
They were both 5/10 movies.
They were both shit. God movies are fricking terrible now
BLUE FILTER

Bros, is it true that our boi Napoleon was a simp for some mid harlot?

He cheated on her and she cheated on him just like every other European noble at the time.
Men were allowed to cheat you copelord. He got cucked
Fun fact: she had horrible teeth because she loves sugar so much
Men are not allowed to cheat
Yes
Napoleon had a billion lovers
Weren’t they both perpetually cheating on each other
Women used to be worth it
>unwashed hairy pussy
or
>building an empire
Not exactly a hard decision
It looked nice.
Casting sucked.

Brits stay seething for eternity about everything. They're still mad about the US.
The problem is that his life is generally too much to fit into 2.5 hrs; a mini series would be better; same with a character like Simon Bolivar

i didn’t see this in theaters because i was promised a much longer directors cut
when is it coming out??
never
it's ridley scott so Cinemaphile drones will never accept the kino that it is.
You act like Cinemaphile is the only place that thinks Ridley Scott has been mediocre for decades
i watched both back to back and napoleon was so much worse than oppenheimer it's insane
what the frick was ridley scott thinking
How did this buckbreak the French and Cinemaphile so hard? I can't think of another movie from 2023 that gets turbo autists on this board more upset
Because it’s all over the place plus it’s inaccurate in a way that’s less interesting than real life and not even true in some higher sense
For instance irl Napoleon made a daring escape from Corsica with the help of local shepherds which he remembered in his Will. He (according to his letters) kinda of considered converting to Islam at one point. It also fails to show that at the time he was viewed as the embodiment of the revolution; there’s a reason the poles and west Germans generally have a higher opinion than the Spanish or austrians
Because we all crave an awesome historical epic and we got bland colorless mediocrity as per usual from Midley Scott
>couldn't even show Vanessa's nipples
Nice ridley
>bait
Anyone familiar with the period will hate it.
2/10
ridly scott licks balls
anyone familiar with the period will know that Napoleon was trying to put his family on the thrones of Europe and appreciate the unsympathetic depiction.
I didn't watch this, Oppenheimer, or Barbie.
Oppenheimer decent, barbie horrible
>1815
>British war council in this film
>We must keep Napoleon out of Belgium!
>Belgium didn't exist until 1830
He’s gonna rip this movie worse than he did Braveheart isn’t he?
Should’ve been a this as a miniseries:
1. His early years and graduation from the ecole with Revolution + Pascual Pauli background
2. Corsican Gracchi stuff and failed independence of the island plus his escape to France and earning the hatred of his former idol
3. Being broke, social scenes of revolution, Valmy, levee en masse and introduction to the political underworld ending with a victory at Toulon
4. First Italian Campaign and more revolutionary stuff
5. 13 Vendemaire and Rise to prominence and intro Josephine, begin 2nd Italian campaign
6. Egypt + Zurich; Massena Kino
7. Return, and Coup of 18 Brumaire
8. Morning after the coup, early consulate, treaty of Amien and the Haiti foreshadowing
9. Haiti
10. Taking the crown and Ulm
11. Austerlitz/Waterloo double feature
12. Jena Auerstadt, marshals and politics Friedland and Poland stuff; Davout Kino
13. Spain Bernadotte Kino
14. Spain 2 and Aspen Esling, maybe a slice of Paris life/Wagram; Lannes Kino
15. Russia and retreat, Ney Kino
16. Leipzig and revolt, start of exile
17. Vienna conference p1
18. Hundred Days and Waterloo
19. Vienna Confrence p2
This doesn’t even get into details like his dealings in Italy and the pope, the stuff in Malta,. Could have Simon Bolivar and Beethoven Cameos
Would love a scene with Napoleon over the grave of Frederick the Great

Sounds gay; movie better
this film taught me that behind every great man lies an even greater woman

The movie was great frick the French

How do french african americans feel about the napster?
I like Ridley but I can't condone the grading in his recent movies.
I still can't belive those scenes in the last duel
>than Oppenheimer

After Gance + Waterloo 1970, seeing Scott's as anything but a dull hatchet job is impossible.
