Can't wait to see it...
It could be interesting, but for the moment, I still like to watch the 2002 version from A&E.
So Riddled With Snot thinks Napoleon is more famous than Jesus. As if
Stanley Kubrick wanted to make this movie, but it never came anywhere near fruition. It probably would not have been anything like, “1814: A French Odyssey” or “Dr. Strangehat.”
I’ve never understood the whole Joaquin Phoenix thing. He’s just not my cup of tea.
And I saw a clip of the Battle of Austerlitz and it had laughable CGI, a battle that felt like a video game (if the general mutters “Charge”, the horsemen half a mile away spring into action) and it also seemed to focus on highly questionable action involving troops drowning in a frozen river thanks to well-placed artillery shots shattering the ice. The whole thing seemed like garbage to me.
Looking forward to it, Scott has made some fantastic movies. Blade Runners, The Duelists, and A Good Year are my favorites.
I’ll wait to hear from the French Legume before I go to see ot.
Watching this on Wednesday.
LOLOL. 😭
I thought the scene with the tater tots was funny. And I’m glad Pedro was elected president.
In a post-Passion of the Christ/Inglorious Basterds/Narcos era, they really should shoot films in their native language.
They spend hundreds of millions of dollars on historically accurate costumes, sets, and battle sequences, but you couldn’t get your actors French lessons for a couple of months, or hire a French-speaking cast?
A new Predator movie came out last year and it was set in the 1700s and had the Predator fighting Native Americans. The whole movie is dubbed in Comanche, and my kids and I watched the Comanche version and loved it.
Subtitles are not looked down upon even by the marginally intelligent American movie-goer anymore. Ditch this King’s English for any language other than English BS.
“The Duelists”
That was something.
Ridley Scott confirmed the only CGI used in the battle scene was the cannon balls being seen hitting the ice.
I expect the film to suck, and be totally inaccurate.
Absolutely. 👍
Crap! I thought it was finally the rumored Napoleon Dynamite sequel.
Hair Lip Napoleon? Going to see it too.
Some stories are best told in smaller chunks.
Famous doesn’t necessarily mean revered. It often means nothing more than ‘trending topic’. John Lennon said the same thing about his singing group.
Just don’t buy the tupperware.
