Geez. Louis is sandwiched between two tall women. And he’s tiny yet so shiny in that silver suit.

MALMAISON MEDIA SALON SOIRÉE 7: NAPOLEON (1955)

1. The Introduction

Hello, Neighbors! Welcome to the Malmaison Media Salon. Today we’re going to discuss yet another biopic about Napoleon! As if there isn’t a ton of them out there already...

Anyway, I’m talking about “Napoleon” a 1955 movie directed by Sacha Guitry, who also plays Talleyrand in it (actually he played Talleyrand twice, in two different movies). Looks like biopics about Napoleon and self-inserts go together quite well!

But, jokes aside, I first heard about this biopic while researching another movie about Napoleon (the Abel Gance’s one from 1927) for Jacobin Fiction Convention. I was unsure which review category the 1955 fits in, but I ultimately decided to do a Napoleonic review since, unlike the 1927 movie, this one barely touches on Frev so it wouldn’t make sense to call it Frev media.

So here we are. I got much luckier in my search for this movie than with the one by Abel Gance, as Guitry’s biopic can easily be found on YouTube in English, so most people in my audience shouldn’t have any trouble looking for it at all.

Personally, after a long list of failed attempts at cramming Napoleon’s life into either one movie or a short miniseries, I was a bit skeptical about the 1955 movie, but let’s take a closer look at it and see how this attempt turned out.

2. The Story

The story here consists of a series of key events in Napoleon’s life. So expect major campaigns, his time as First Consul, Frev, formative years, and so on. On paper, it sounds good, but the keywords here are “on paper”.

Unfortunately, this movie runs into a common problem. See, its length is about 2 hours yet it aims to tell as much of Napoleon’s story as possible. Yeah, good fucking luck doing that when there are just too many events to cram into a miniseries, let alone one movie!

Honestly, if you ask me, Napoleonic era and Frev are so eventful that our communities may as well do a full fucking series because that might just be the best way to portray our respective epochs without skipping over important events or rushing.

Of course, this biopic is not a series, which is why we get multiple confusing pacing issues and the story has to portray everything in a rapid fire type of way, which really didn’t allow me to get into the story or to empathize with the key characters, as there simply isn’t much time spent even on introducing them or at least telling the audience basic information!

However, I do like the creative choice of having Talleyrand of all people narrate the story. I don’t know why the idea of Talleyrand as the narrator is so funny to me, but it just is.

Moving on, as there isn’t much to add.

3. The Characters

As I said in my previous point, unfortunately most characters who aren’t Napoleon don’t get introduced or developed properly due to the rushed pacing. Also there’s too many characters which makes it hard to remember them all, especially for people who might be hearing about them for the first time.

But there are some moments I liked that are related to the characters:

- Ney promising Louis the 18th to arrest Napoleon but not doing so

- Ney and Murat commanding their own executions

- Josephine not being a bitch

- Napoleon giving Eugène the sword which belonged to Eugène’s father

- Marie Louise of Austria not wanting to marry Napoleon at first but warming up to him

These are the touches I liked. If only the characters had proper introductions that would make me care about them during those scenes...

4. The Setting

The settings are truly gorgeous, most likely due to this:

Nice! I haven’t been to the aforementioned places but those who have might be able to recognize them.

Oh, and the costumes look stunning.

5. The Acting

Honestly, I think the acting is excellent, especially on the part of the two actors who played Napoleon. I also liked Guitry as Talleyrand, but it looks like everyone did their best with the role they had.

6. The Music

Gorgeous music! I love the fact that the melody of Ça Ira (a revolutionary song) plays during the scenes showing Frev. Yay!

Unfortunately, once again, it’s not enough to make up for the rushed story.

7. The Conclusion

Well, what can I say? I think it should be obvious by now that the Napoleonic era is just too eventful for one movie. It deserves a series of its own, because otherwise we get rushed pacing, characters who aren’t given enough time to become memorable.

Here the acting, music and settings are fantastic, but the clunky story and the flat characters ruin the entire experience, wasting the potential of the final product. Which is a shame.

But, with that, let us conclude today’s soirée at the Malmaison Media Salon. Stay tuned for updates and stay safe, my dear Neighbors.

Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Corsica on August 15th, 1769 to the corsian advocat and lawyer Carlo Bonaparte. Since his family belonged to the nobility, he received quite a good education, which included, among other thing, reading and writing.

.

Napoleon received a royal scholarship, whereupon he was able to attend a military academy. During the French Revolution, Napoleon joined the Jacobins, whereupon he became an influencial person in politics. On March 9th, 1796 he married Josephine de Beauharnis, with whom he got no children. Napoleon organized numerous expeditions and crusades, through which he became well known among the people.

.

After the introduction of the French constitution in 1794, he was elected consul general. Only 10 years later Napoleon was crowned French Emperor. Because of his tactical genius, he managed to conquer half of Europe and made France one of the strongest force on the European continent.

.

In 1812, Napoleon tried to conquer Russia, whereupon the french empire collapsed and he was forced to go into exile. He briefly returned to power, but was again deposed and eventually banished to St. Helena. Napoleon Bonaparte died on Mai 5th, 1821.

Oh look what I found.

[blackwidowmarshal123]

The Bonaparte family. All including Letizia Bonaparte and his brother Lucien. I can recognize everyone, but I’m surprised Louis decided to sport a moustache.

I don’t know what this is, but the entire family seems to be missing several members.

To Do List Artwork • Continue Figma iPhone 13 mockup design • Wine bottle labels • Draw Louis Bonaparte’s Bust into real life (without bustiness) • “Asoka” movie references for Napoleonic - Use Murat as an arrogant Ancient Indian Prince • Marshal Soult exploring Turkey for discovering baking methods (full-detailed drawing) • Lagaan movie references (love - triangle, cricket game teams) • Duke of Wellington playing cricket • Louis Alexander Berthier as Daijan (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) • Murat farting on the balcony. • Bessieres using chopsticks to try sushi while Eugene snaps a random pic of him • Napoleon diving into spicy Korean noodles and crying. • Caroline Murat weightlifting. • Lefebvre TikTok reviewing Celsius’s sparkling Cola, filmed by Caulcaincourt as he zooms in on Lefebvre’s lips sipping on the cup as a joke. (According to my experience) • Louis Bonaparte or aka Lodewijk Napoleon smoking medical marijuana weekly, storing weed materials in his 90+ drawer desk. So organized lol. • Marshal Ney attaining tattoos and piercings that work best with him. (Neck tattoos) • Marshal Murat pulls off the septum piercing. • Pauline Borghese claiming that she’s vegan. Napoleon mocks her to tease her. • Marshal Murat’s mom….. • Mameluke Roustam Raza being a comforting friend to Duroc.

When you have so many ideas, you don’t know where to start and manifest that. It’s like telling people, “Hey, I’m planning something”, but not actually doing it out of hesitation and loss of motivation. For me, I have procrastination issues, and I get distracted easily.

So far, I knocked out Louis Bonaparte’s bust portrait, because that to me felt achievable and easy. So what other things feel easier? Or what will I maintain interest into or for lack of a better word, “patience”?

Although, looking at this To Do Art list, I feel like I have some really funny stuff going on.

New Character coming!!!! Watch to find out!!!

These artworks that I’ve made are both for a continuation of my college exhibition for my Napoleonic Bollywood Dance Series. As you know, I continue to listen to Indian movies classics, and revisit old ones that I have listened to in my childhood. There is a fact in psychology that whatever music you listen to in your childhood, that’s the music you are attached to as an adult. Why do I still feel attached to this music? I can’t explain more than what the human brain does.

The story of Devdas is gold, based off of a real story. Devdas is a Bengali story, written by a Bengali author. And the region of West Bengal in India, is the base of where my cultural roots came from. And Bangladesh is the country built off of a language I speak natively. It’s its own nation ,and West Bengali should give moe credit to Bangladesh.

As for Bollywood, I know there is so much more mystery than the melodramatic acting, you really have to study and appreciate the art to understand it’s meaning and how it’s made. Who were the actors, who were the musicians, and what It is definitely not a lowbrow thing, according to other countries, and it’s improving in terms of female roles becoming better. I wish the mass of people took into consideration. Even Indians and Pakistanis are like, Bollywood is crap due to their preference for Western entertainment, thinking it is better entertainment than their own. But does this back me down?? No.

Eugene de Beauharnais: Devdas character, Paro (comparison in character portraiture)

Y’all, I was supposed to use Napoleon II. I don’t know how Eugène ended up here.

Here is a perfect presentation of the Viceroy of Italy, posing as one of Bollywood’s most adored character, Paro in Devdas.

The work put into incorporating Napoleonic Empire style mens court attire into Devdas’ fancy costumes establishes an interesting concept once the reason is explained. Although, you may not quite expect Eugene de Beauharnais to fit into a sari, he has certain adornments, that help the viewer detail out the distinguished features indicating the Indian movie references.

The idea shown here is the story of Paro is that she is holding her diya, an Indian oil lamp with the light claiming her connection through her love for Devdas, her childhood friend. In Eugene’s life, his destiny had some ups and downs, throughout the his little-known childhood, French Revolution, the introduction of his new step-father Napoleon, and the rise and fall of his empire, through how it affected others. He remains hopeful throughout his life. To connect my perspective, he has brought me to combine these two explained individual’s lives into an effective image. While Paro chooses to keep Devdas to her heart, the flame, Eugene holds his candlelight to express his inner hope, being that same positioned flame. This becomes a more plausible idea for a powerful art piece.

The original video without audio. (Eugéne my boi, lookin’ swole)

[blackwidowmarshal123]

@tairin I saw them both too. Here is Eugéne. “Mom, I’m scared.” Hope he doesn’t kill me. His hair was maybe dirty blonde.

Here is Hortense. She looks so angry here. She’s probably not too happy about Napoleon being her stepfather. Also even the Revolutión made her like that. Yeah, she probably wasn’t brunette until she was a little older, I guess.

That last reblog left me dying. 🤣🤣🤣Imagine him on a show with a single-camera setup, you the know the cinéma vérité style. He hears the news of Napoleon and Josephine’s divorce, and the camera closes up on his confused face.
