My husband and I took the family to see this today.
I agree; it was an excellent film.
My only criticism was that the film spent a lot of time on his relationship with Josephine and not enough time on the battles or the politics that gave rise to them.
Nonetheless, it was a solid film and did a good job compressing his life into just a few hours.
Was there crude language or overt bedroom scenes
I’m interested in the history…..the actor and the director……..but not prurient junk
Im not a chick flick guy, but that Napoleon-Josephine relationship was very odd indeed, on many levels, and Josephine was a truly complex character. And it was pretty fundamental in explaining Napoleon, who was even more complex.
His mind was, in many ways, superhuman. We normals struggle to get our minds around what was in his.
If Scott wanted to stress Josephine in his biopic then its his legitimate call.
There is just so much that could have gone into 2.5 hours that its hard to quibble.
Wish they could have gotten the English girl
I like her
Scott said his original cut is over 4 hours and he’ll release that on Blue Ray.
