Date: April 27th, 2024 10:34 AM Author: milky dilemma - 60yo gray grizzled Joaquin Phoenix playing 28yo Napoleon - even at 4 hours long, impossible to capture the scope of all his crazy shit - sure Josephine was important but typical current year forcememe to give her equal billing - he was such an overwhelming genius that no non-autist today knows any of his "opponents" until Wellington, so it was hard to create a sense of drama or tension even though Ridley desperately didn't want to "glorify" him. There was a lot of "who the fuck is he arguing with, this is lame" - focusing on his personal life meant missing out on capturing the bizarre world of revolutionary France and his rise in the popular imagination - even when they showed iconic stuff like crowning himself emperor, they sort of blew past it without showing how big a "fuck you" it was to everyone previously important - missed a golden opportunity to show the charge of the Scots greys at Waterloo Some of the battle scenes were truly 180 though and worth watching for those alone

Date: April 27th, 2024 7:41 PM Author: vibrant lime national background story The point about the scene where he crowns himself not connecting because it isnt really connected to anything else is the movie’s biggest issue. It’s not just that the movie assumes the audience knows enough about history to know why this person or that moment is important, it’s that they’d rather show a montage of disconnected battle scenes with bunch of weird overwrought Josephine sequences and call it the movie (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5521987&forum_id=2#47614255) |

Date: April 27th, 2024 7:18 PM Author: Fiercely-loyal Awkward Fat Ankles what does "glorifying Napoleon" even mean I get Ridley Scott is English but why does he have to be portrayed as a weird "proto Hitler" not just in this movie but in modern pop culture generally |

JP was terrible, as was the script. New script + Harry Potter as Napoleon may have worked. |
