#anyway casting anyone as a satisfactory Josephine is so difficult after Isabella Rosselini though... like how would you follow that up?

idk not even touching on the interpretation of, and historical inaccuracies in the new Napoleon biopic (and bypassing my infuriation over the de-milf-ication of Josephine and reversal of their real life age differences) the movie just seems... boring?? And the depiction of Napoleon himself also boring?? Like the man succeeded a republican revolution by declaring himself emperor and was successful doing so largely through personal charisma and a robust cult of personality and nothing about Scott/Phoenix Napoleon is giving me even a hint of that. Like occasionally through the glower and saturnine affect I got a glimpse of "crazy!!" but not even the right kind!! I would not be buying prints of this guy dressed up as Augustus to put in my house, you know??
