A much better Josephine than that washed-out person in the Ridley Scott dumpster fire.

I will reserve judgement on Phoenix since I haven’t seen him yet but this love affair people have with Clavier is strange. He wasn’t a good Napoleon at all.

It’s funny too that this miniseries is held in pretty high regard now. I am old enough to remember the Napoleon circles online watching this and ripping it apart about how terrible it was (and is). A friend who is a big Josephine admirer lost her mind over how bad Isabella Rossilini was. The TV edition was mocked because of how terrible the editing was. Egypt was boiled down to Napoleon riding on a camel, pointing to the pyramids and saying “Look! The pyramids!” with viewers likening it to Napoleon appearing like a tour guide. The extended dvds made the movie marginally better.

Maybe in 10 years from now everyone will love Scott’s movie too.

I've done this new video edit on Napoleon (2002 series with Christian Clavier) using the song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, that I think is very fitting for him!

You know, Christian Clavier (born 6 May 1952) was also too old to play young Napoleon in the 2002 mini series Napoléon, BUT since the serie portayed Napoleon's whole life 50y old Clavier was the right age for the Saint-Helena part

AND he was paired with 50y old Isabella Rosselini (born 18 June 1952) as Joséphine, and I'd say no age gap is way better than an outrageously wrong age gap (Joséphine significantly younger than Napoleon instead of older)

Also look at them, just looook (mostly at her, Isabella Rosselini as Joséphine, my beloved ❤)
