The movie is excellent, Joaquin Phoenix is outstanding. Although I mention the historical timeframe, America was declaring that all men were created free and equal while other countries were declaring Emperors. Bad America, bad.

Napoleon's rise was the result of the French Revolution going off the rails. The French Revolution was based on the rights of man; the American Revolution was based on inalienable rights endowed by their Creator. Which one was more successful?

Margaret Thatcher said that the French Revolution resulted in two things: a pile of headless corpses and a tyrant ruling France.
