Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” takes one of the most interesting, complex eras in modern history — the French Revolution and its long aftermath — and delivers a morality tale about the dangers of the mob. Even worse, it’s not even compelling viewing. https://t.co/UybZ7GcPMH

Joaquin Phoenix is usually a great actor but he played the role as drab and colorless. Napoleon always seemed like he'd just awoken from a quaalude nap. The movie was equally lifeless and dull. No connective tissue linking scenes together. Seemed more like a brief tour of the… https://t.co/3mzq13MVuY
accuracy in historical films can be misleading. it's more impactful to convey the emotions/perceptions of the era rather than strict details. instead of portraying Napoleon as an incel, show his achievements in a stylized way, like how "300" depicted Sparta. it’s more real.

From my review: "Napoleon" is a weird little epic movie, basically a domestic comedy about the stereotypically French marital troubles of Monsieur and Madame Bonaparte. Elderly Nappy is utterly devoted to his pretty young Josephine, but her eye wanders. https://t.co/CpJfFbrvxb
