      I love chatting about it, but I think Wellington floored Napoleon. Duke of Wellington never lost a battle after he was given command, he earned his way to his rank as opposed to buying it and he is famously the one that outplayed Napoleon.
      I actually think it's a shame Napoleon is so much more famous than he is.

  • @tinmanbrigade7304
    @tinmanbrigade7304 6 месяцев назад +96

    The frustrating thing for me, as someone who has read about Napoleon, his life, and the people around him, there is great material for a really nuanced take on the legacy he left behind. On one hand, he certainly was a man of the enlightenment era. He introduced some very impressive reforms to French society and law. Elements of his Napoleonic Code are still in place in the legal system in France today. Our modern understanding of Egyptian culture comes from his campaign in Egypt (and no, he did not blow up the Pyramids. They were over five miles away from them during The Battle of the Pyramids.) He brought scholars, scientists, anthropologists to study the culture.
    At the same time, he was a man who seized power through military force. He was egotistic, which proved in many cases to be his undoing. He invaded Spain due to his own arrogance. He wasn't above forcing countries to his will. He also legalized slavery in the empire after it had been abolished in the French Revolution. There is plenty to dislike about him.
    There is so much more to Napoleon than just what Ridley Scott presents here. He was a brilliant military leader and politician. His troops worshipped the ground he walked upon as if he were blessed by divine providence. They carried his eagle standards into battle like religious relics, simply because they were touched by his own hand. At the same time he was brutal, arrogant, and to put it simply human. He is one of the most fascinating characters in history, and with everything he did both positive and negative, his story, as well as the story of those who surrounded, such as Josephine, Maria Louise, Marshal Davout, Marshal Murat, Marshal Ney, Marshal Lannes, and so many others, deserves to be heard.
    I think for me, what really left a sour taste in my mouth before the movie even hit theaters, was how Ridley Scott reacted to historical criticism. Any period piece is going to have inaccuracies. You have to to form a proper narrative. But when historians criticize gross historical inaccuracies, and even lies, and your response is either "Get a life" or "Where you there? No? Then shut the #%@ up!) I don't have the best opinion on your work. As someone who has had to deal with deconstructing the misconceptions of history to the public, it rubbed me the wrong way.
    TLDR - Not a fan 😕

    I'll give Ridley Scott credit for the battle on the ice, though. It's a fantastic scene rivaled only by Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby goofing around as they portray their characters' silly flirtations.

    • @tinmanbrigade7304
      @tinmanbrigade7304 6 месяцев назад +3

      It certainly is a cool visual. The shots from underneath the ice were particularly good.
      The thing I find funny and frustrating at the same time, is that while Ridley Scott is clearly trying to knock Napoleon down a few pegs, he inadvertently bought into one of Napoleon's greatest pieces of blatant propaganda. Yes it is true that towards the end of the Battle of Austerlitz, a number of Russian and Austrian soldiers retreated south over some frozen ponds. Yes it is true that the French artillery fired at them and some of the soldiers fell through the ice and drowned. But Napoleon is the one who played up the numbers of the dead, saying that hundreds if not thousands of soldiers were drowned by his artillery. In reality though, we have evidence that after the ponds were drained, only a couple dozen bodies were found. And even if there were more men who fell into the water, most accounts agree that the ponds were shallow, with men able to stand in them. Only the wounded were at greater risk of drowning.
      Again, I agree that the scene is visually stunning. The camera work is excellent and the effects are amazing. I just find it funny that while Ridley Scott is trying to present Napoleon as "not all that," he still perpetuates some of the Emperor's own propaganda. LOL😄

    • @thomasmuscat6527
      @thomasmuscat6527 6 месяцев назад +2

      Not to mention the fact that the Napoleon actually used the dense mist on the battlefield to shield part of his troops until the right moment, which in itself would have been brilliant to see on screen. So it's not like Scott couldn't have kept more true to the Battle of Austerlitz without losing the sense of spectacle.

    Napoleon was actually average to slightly above average height for his time. The reason why he gets labeled as short is due to English propaganda and the English/French measuring systems were slightly different. Napoleon also looked short because he always stood next to his Old Guard which had a minimum height requirement of 5'10 though most in the Old Guard were taller than the minimum height requirement.

    I saw this in the cinema. I was really looking forward to it although somewhat skeptical due to the decision to allow Joaquin to use his own accent. Decided to put that aside but regretted it.
    I don’t think timeline biographical movies work. Ridley should have focused on a specific period of time, or even just the battle at Waterloo. Just his love story would have been acceptable.
    On a positive note, Vanessa Kirby was great, as always.

    In Cinematography standards, it’s a great movie…but historically, it’s very very shit. It doesn’t stay very true to history unfortunately.
    At least with, for example, Fury, you know you’re going into a historical fiction movie. A movie based on real larger scale events, but of course, fictional smaller scale events.
    In Napoleon, it’s been hyped up as a documentary, but it’s not. And that’s what pisses me off.

      I think a pretty good film that could've show the negative side to Napoleon would be following his last campaign before his exile. When everything is coming apart for him and he is trying desperately to save everything. You could see political intrigue as Talleyrand secretly conspires against Napoleon with the Sixth Coalition. You'd have a pretty interesting character in his second wife, Maria Louise, as she tries to secure a future for her son. You'd see how his marshals were trying to do their best for him, while also questioning whether or not blind allegiance to Napoleon was best for France. That I think would be a great movie, if not maybe multi part mini series.

    I think this movie was badly represented in the Trailer and teasers. They give you the belief this is going to be a Grand Epic but it was really more focused specifically on Napoleon and Josephine. A lot of research was done into the letters from Napoleon to Josephine over the years which there are thousands of. I still was pretty disappointed in the movie as a whole... but maybe the 4hr directors cut will be better lol

I'm really hoping to be literally shocked at how 'fluid' it ends up being in the extended cut. In the meantime the wait is killing me 😂

      I'm not necessarily looking forward to it on a script level. Yes there are more than likely a lot of scenes that were cut that would probably explain some more context, but in the end, I didn't enjoy this movie at a basic script level. The writing, in my own opinion was bad. So if the four hour cut is going to be the same script, but more, I'm not sure if it will be any better of a story.
