I just would like to take this moment to say FUCK YOU, Ridley Scott.

Hope you're all doing well. I'm still alive but i'm over on my other blog, I still check in here obviously. Have a good end of 2023.

A cringe fest of Napoleon movie WTF moments.

The sad part is that I can actually see Napoleon doing some of these things, but something dies inside of me when I look at these.

i think it's kinda important to remember that just because you offer criticism doesn't mean the person recieving it has to take it. like sometimes you just give crit that isn't relevant to what that person is trying to achieve, or they just flat out disagree with it, and that's um, fine actually

By Andrew Roberts

British historians — including friends of mine such as Paul Johnson, Sir John Keegan and Sir Alistair Horne — have had immense influence on the bleak way Napoleon is viewed. Claude Ribbe’s book Le Crime de Napoleon portrayed him as a genocidal dictator on a par with Hitler, and the US historian Paul Schroeder wrote: “Hitler did it for the sake of an unbelievably horrible ideal; Napoleon for no underlying purpose at all.”

Unfortunately, Scott’s movie perpetuates this absurd myth. No mention is made of any achievement beyond the military ones. He rightly shows Napoleon as being popular with the French people but the evidence given in the movie makes this incomprehensible.

Without the context of the Napoleonic Code — the reorganisation of French laws — the financial reforms, the restoration of law and order, the concordat with the Catholic Church, the infrastructure projects, the new education system, meritocratic social advancement, the creation of the Banque de France and Légion d’Honneur and Council of State, for example, the film’s emperor is reduced to a man who merely throws food at his wife, has sex with her under the table with servants present, and almost never takes off his hat while indoors.

Director’s cut: The Infernal Machine.

God-damn this is all wrong. Like everything is wrong.

You had one job Ridley!

Hey Napoleon, someone tried to kill you maybe show some emotion? Did someone tell Phoenix that Napoleon just sleepwalked through his life?

Why is the carriage on fire already before it blows up? Why are people moving around a carriage that is a bonfire through the street?

Where is the little girl that is murdered in the event? How do you forget her?

Wtf?

[youhavereachedtheendofpie]

no one will make a period drama about ancient roman charioteers because they're unimaginative cowards and the world is cruel. to me specifically.

if that canal+ marie antoinette series does get a good international reception and proves that english speaking audiences actually will watch smth about the history of countries that aren’t america and england, i should be immediately given an hbo contract to allow me to make my louis philippe series

Gladiator is such a crazy ass film cause no way you just killed this mans family cause your dad didn’t love you.

Curious how everyone (rightfully) shits on all of Zac Snyder's movies for looking fake and desaturated but Ridley Scott's all get a pass despite doing the same thing
