what is your favourite history fact?

1) Napoleon was a big fan of fax machines.

2) the pyramids were older to the Ancient Romans than the Romans are to us now.

3) One of the oldest pieces of written language is a complaint about a huckster.

4) The Antikythera

5) "Sea People" came and wiped out a lot of ancient cultures. Obviously they weren't all Atlanteans but what if right!?

VANESSA KIRBY at the premiere of “Napoleon” on November 14th 2023 in Paris wearing ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

I'm always impressed by Vanessa's style and red carpet choices, but this look really wowed me. The dress is just so interesting, and really highlights Vanessa’s frame. I really liked the sharp neckline. The gold details looked absolutely phenomenal against the black dress, and Vanessa just looked like a bombshell. Absolutely beautiful look.

I had a dream last night where Napolean from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures ran into Booker from The Old Guard in 1989 in San Dimas, CA. It was so weird cos Booker was just trying to get away but Napolean wouldn't leave him alone. I just... What? Thanks, brain...

Those who don’t study history are destined to repeat it. Those who watch Napolean’s marriage problems…just watched this movie? Napoleon is a 2 hour and 45 minute historical drama directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, etc.) starring Joaquin Phoenix who is most recently known for his work in the 2019 comic book hit, Joker. When watching a film like this, you generally expect their to be a lot of battles and essentially a love letter to the emperor in the French Revolution, Napolean Bonaparte. He had led 61 battles in his military career and infamously known for his strategy’s which guided the French to several victories. He was married to Josephine played by Vanessa Kirby in this film. As I expected their to be many historical moments in this film in the field of battle, I would have compromised with a glimpse into this characters life and mind set. I was excited to see how he thinks, and how he leads his army to victory in this film. Basically a testament to the HOW he accomplishes things and the WHY he was so well known…and we got hardly any of that. Instead, we’re given a long soap opera with no true resolve or any sort of information that will be remembered. Their is a new trend in cinema where a movie must be drawn out and long, this one is at least an hour too long. This is the biggest fault of the film, it is too long which makes the film come off as extremely boring. While the dynamic between Napolean and Josephine sounds intriguing on paper, it is not done properly in any regard. Playing off as a cliché, “what are we?” Style dynamic instead. This would have been ok if the momentum in the first 10 minutes was kept up throughout the film. We are faced with a BRUTAL first 10 to 15 minutes of the film which insinuates we are going to have a war story unlike any other based in the 1700’s era. This is not the case. Instead, most of the 2 hours and 45 minutes are a repetition of romance dialogue between Napolean and his wife and it is simply not interesting. However, the battle scenes are shot EXCELLENTLY. Their is one scene in particular in the beginning with a horse being shot blank with a canon ball and it is as gory as it sounds. This makes the audience intrigued that where in for a tale of war and strategic battle victories. The key word is ‘in the beginning’ because this momentum is not kept up throughout the film. However, it is historically accurate. The landmarks are breathtaking when viewed, ranging from Egypt, France (obviously) and a few more I won’t go into due to spoiler reasons. Also, the performances are done excellent. While the story is quite boring and you don’t really care about Napolean or Josephine by the end, it is clearly established both actors/actresses, give it their all in the role, yet the lack of source material doesn’t really make it enough to enjoy the film. In one word to summarize this film, it’s unfortunately very boring. That is the word I kept thinking of. The love story is boring and the dialogue is not entertaining at all. With a run time of 2 hours and 45 minutes, your dreading the viewing experience and trying not to fall asleep, and while the cinematography is fantastic and the landmarks are breathtaking, this movie is simply not good. I’m going to give “Napolean” by Ridley Scott, a 4 out of 10. If you want a historical epic that is a long film and also intriguing, check out “Killers of The Flower Moon” instead. Because this movie will absolutely put you to sleep.

4/10

+Historically accurate

+Battle scenes are beautifully shot

- Hard to stay awake while watching

Napoleon (2023)

🎬An epic that details the checkered rise and fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his wife, Josephine.

📝 I was looking forward to this and after reading a few reviews I went with very low expectations and even then I found this film to be a huge disappointment. First of all, Napoleon doesn't feel French at all, then, the two leads didn't have any chemistry so I didn't quite understand their "volatile" relationship, then the battles. I understand it's impossible to condense the 61 battles but the ones they did, they didn't feel like they gave much to the story. It was all over the place and everything felt randomly put together. So I think in this instance the vast majority of critics are right. It's a terrible film. AVOID
