The outrage over trap in the film is especially funny because chuds genuinely think James Horner-style orchestral scoring is somehow “authentic” to Bronze Age Greece. It will come as a profound shock to chuds to learn that the ancient Greeks used none of the instruments James Horner does.

In fact, trap is much closer to actual Homeric performance culture than James Horner-style music. Homeric epic was oral, rhythmic, repetitive, boastful, improvisatory, and performed competitively for live audiences. It was designed to hit hard in the moment: formulaic phrases, recurring epithets, aggressive flexing, taunting enemies, celebrating violence, wealth, lineage, revenge, and divine favor. That is structurally and socially much closer to rap and trap than to the swelling emotional scores of orchestral film scores. Chuds cannot even conceive of the fact that the use of orchestral music in films is a modern convention rather than orchestral music literally playing during the Trojan War. Meanwhile, trap actually preserves several features that would make immediate sense in an oral heroic culture

Nigger you would have an argument if Napoleon were a good movie DESPITE its blatant agenda of making incel Napoleon. But it's garbage production blown out of the water by any period drama in writing and 10 seconds of Bondarchuk's deleted scenes in action. Once again, appealing to historical authenticity when it's convenient.

I criticized the movie’s portrayal of Napoleon for being too one-dimensional and it'soveruse of blue tint. I just think the whole “that wasn’t 100% accurate” gotcha is getting old.

>I criticized the movie’s portrayal of Napoleon for being too one-dimensional
Do you not understand that this cannon shot is part of that portrayal. The egyptoboo Napoleon that loved everything that had to do with ancient Egypt is replaced with an autistic mong who shoots at the last Wonder of the World and has an insecure stare-down with a mummy. You do understand that your argument is literally "an inaccurate portrayal of Napoleon in this movie has nothing to do with it being a one-dimensional portrayal?"
>It gets the point across
What point, you autistic creature? For what purpose is this cannon shot made? What doe sit mean in terms of Napoleon's character?
To show that he doesn't give a fuck? That's the trade off?

If hip hop is closer then yes it's closer, but they definitely had horns back then and plenty of other instruments.

The real reason Travis is wrecking shit like John Cena's final WrestleMania match is comms and rituals n shit. These movies are used to communicate with metaphors. You wouldn't get it but a rich dude watching the movie will be like oh so we're going to war with Russia next year. So all the rich people know the plan and you don't

If anyone can find the source I'd like it bc supposedly the greeks were mutts at a certain point.

Not to say all poetry grew from niggerdom but it's kinda funny like yeah okay greeks really were nigger fags congrats
>>
>>220457121
Lmao you're the fucking autistic one spasming out over details, the point was that he conquered egypt.That's it. It wasn't a major focus of the biopic. They weren't going to go into a lawrence of arabia tier fucking political discussion on every one of fucking napoleon's conquest.
>>
Sorry Nolan, but I shan't be watching.

>>220457240
it's bullshit, the whole democracy myth, like 10% ppl had voting rights and they all were 'med' white, slavery was everywhere so you did have niggers in greece, but all slaves, 0% chance a nigger would become a person with voting rights, the only non-slave nigger around in greece might've been a random trader or emissary but also unlikely
>>
>>220457246
>It wasn't a major focus of the biopic
Yes, autistic nigger faggot. The focus is Napoleon's incel persona. That is reinforced by this retarded scene that you acknowledge to be one-dimensional yet seemingly ignore how this is compounded by all these scenes of him falling asleep at the meeting and literally not giving a fuck about Egypt despite being the one who kick-started modern Egyptology.
>They weren't going to go into a lawrence of arabia tier fucking political discussion
Retarded nigger, not lying about Napoleon shooting the pyramid is not Lawrence of Arabia-tier discourse. What a retarded equivalent from a retarded nigger, who thinks this is a good scene. Checks out, really.

there were no negro slaves in greece. most slaves were greeks from other city-states/ kingdoms and when they were barbarians they were from thrace, scythia and caria. in that order

And I'm telling you, stupid fucking nigger faggot. I've already told you in the second post. If this Pyramid shot was for something actually meaningful, then it wouldn't matter.
But I repeat to you for the 3rd time.
It does nothing for Napoleon's character except show him as an autistic person who disregards historic monuments in order to show force
It's a bad and jarring visual because reducing the entire Egyptian campaign to one cannon shot after which I'm presuming Mamelukes all surrendered does not make the entire affair in any way impressive.
So once again, you retarded fucking nigger autist. What is it for? What was gained by this blatant disregard of common sense?
>would imply that i'm defending the fucking movie.
Are those your posts above proclaiming that Ridley was 100% in the right to show the Egyptian campaign in this manner? Too autistic to remember what you wrote? Don't backpedal now. Defend your favorite slop.
The fact that you still fail to realize that the Pyramid shooting is literally part of one dimensional portrayal you supposedly didn't like is staggering.

A lot of the criticism of the pyramid scene came down to historical accuracy, which is what I was complaining about.

For what it’s worth, I completely agree that the movie mischaracterized Napoleon and made him feel one-dimensional. In my view, criticizing the storytelling and characterization is more useful than just pointing out that it isn’t fully accurate
>>
>>220456918
Because the source material is compelling enough, if you make a movie based on a historic event, its going to draw in the audience who know about it and want to see a multi-million dollar visual spectacle of the event: realizes the historical event in their mind. Might as well be making fiction if you dont have any intention on following what actually happened.

And I'm telling you for the gorillionth time, if this disregard of history was FOR something, then it wouldn't have mattered.


Do you want a concrete example of and equivalent bullshit and it not mattering? It's your favorite movie director Ridley Scott's Gladiator, where the movie pretends that Marcus Aurelius wanted to restore the Roman Republic. Complete and utter ahistorical bullshit, but bullshit for the sake of the dramatic stinger of Commodus learning of this and usurping his father, starting the chain of events. Did it happen? No. Does anybody care? No. Because this bullshit was for something.
So once again, what the fuck was the cannon shot for? What did the story gain from this? What did it reveal about Napoleon's character besides that he couldn't give less of a fuck?
There is no way you, with a serious face, can claim this was the only best way to show the Egyptian campaign. You cannot be this mentally stunted.
>>
>>220458081
yes there were, it's not popular in academia because reeee selling niggers is reserved for whites 2k years later to bash them for it and muh greece so enlightened that brought us democracy, except in sparta slaves were 5x more populous than natives and they traded with everyone so there were slaves from every barabrian tribe thracians, sarmatians, niggers you name it, there was no taboo for niggers and egyptians had ton of them for cheap

You are literally saying that it's okay to show the most retarded sequence of events to portray Battle of Pyramids.

>I never said that was the right choice
Then why the fuck are you defending it for 10 fucking posts, mongoloid? Not once have you tried to argue the artistic merits of the scene that warranted this inaccuracy, so I'm going to assume you don't put much stock in this either. What are you jannying this garbage for?

I'm just quoting your previous nigger history defender here: no negroes, literally greeks and romans had embargo on negro trade for some magical reason, no negro slaves, just because, doesn't matter the whole of bronze civilization was trading slaves of all.colours for hundreds of years, greeks = no negroes, they were the first racists

Dude, there were Black people in the a bunch of American made films about Greek mythology. They even had a Black guy play Orpheus in an American adpatation of Jason and the Argonauts.

I don't care about historical accuracy unless it's relevant to the story. Like Helen of Troy is supposed to be this babe that caused a war over her. Achilles is basically superman turned war hero. If you either travelled for a decade or just went through horrific battles your armor and helmet should reflect that: patina, grimy, bloodstained etc.
Matching visuals with story is a core task of any filmmaker.

This anon is why movies suck. He's not trying to make the best movie he can. He's trying to make some sort of statement and is writing memos like this. He's not looking at the movie as a massive engineering challenge or sweating at the thought of previous movies that he'd have to top. This type of guy represents modern hollywood: office drones that dress casually but have the creative energy of a half baked LLM.

>I cast Travis Scott because I wanted to nod towards the idea that his story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap.
>>
>>220461281
the point is that when roman sources talk about "africans" they mean "people from the continent or province of africa" which is, as shown here >>220460109 more or less what we call north africa
africans from sub saharan africa or axum/ethiopia would have been much more exotic to them, not only because of skin color

Who cares about roman sources, chud? You don't even know that the Odyssey is Greek myth, do you?

this whole discussion started with roman sources about african troops

The Historia Augusta explicitly states that the soldiers at Hadrian's Wall which Septimius Severus encountered were Ethiopians.

>>There are Mycenaean daggers that are blackened bronze. The theory is they probably could have blackened bronze in those days

Helen of Troy is blackened bronze

The boat plan I charted on the Agean Sea lists Achilles, Ajax the Greater, Diomedes, but only ONE of you!
