Napoleon was the man that shaped europe and yet ridley did everything he could to portray him as the most uncharismatic man I ever saw in my life, did ridley sincerely think Napoleon had zero charisma or something?

>>220499992Americans are really insecure about him so they've tried their best to make him a clown in media and change the perception about him.
>>220499992Ridley hated Napoleon>dude did you know napoleon was hitler before hitler?It's all so tiresome
>>220499992Literally yes
>>220499992I think he's a boomer liberal (in attitude, he's technically silent generation but he was still in his 20s when the hippie era started) and sees Napoleon as a proto-Trump, an embodiment of toxic masculinity, small man syndrome, insecure macho populist, etc., you know the way feminists see powerful men.
>>220499992>English director makes a Napoleon biopic>it's full of inaccuracies so ludicrous that it comes across more as a parody than a historical epicWhy are the English still butthurt about Napoleon? Didn't he die like 200 years ago? Can't they just get over it?
>>220500105huh? we only studied his tactics at our West Point, VMI, and military schools since before the Civil War.
>>220500308>he's technically silent generation but he was still in his 20s when the hippie era startedThe hippy movement was to a large extent made up by younger silent generation despite being associated with boomers today, one doesn't preclude the other.
>>220499992How could Ridley hate the French? Look who was in his movie Kingdom of Heaven. Look at her, look!
>>220500341As long as there are any Fr*nch speakers left in the world, we cannot rest.
The problem is that Ridley had phoenix portraying Napoleon at his lowest point, bored, depressed, defeated and exiled AGAIN, not the ambitious young man.We were meant to see Napoleon grow from the inexperienced but charismatic and high tempo artillery officer to the competent and beloved general, then emperor with his hubris and THEN watch him become sullen and beaten, that would obviously would take an approach like the movie the Imaginarium of doctor parnassus that had at least four different actors for the same character, one different character for each different phase of Napoleon's life.But that would take a director of higher caliber, meaning not british, not Ridley Scott, that was ready to tackle that endeavor. but it would be nice to see Napoleon the man as it was meant to
