This will be a nice break from all the superhero movies we keep getting. We rarely get a movie about a famous historical figure.
So rare
I wonder if it will even be close to accurate. These things tend to make you less informed than you were before watching the movie.
Hmmm 🤔
@Mike403 so Is it true that he invented the guillotine because he was so short?
@JasonCuddles - A lot of movies and TV shows do focus on entertainment rather than actually informing/educating the viewers.
There's always lectures on Wondrium for more accurate information:
@sooson the guillotine was invented before Napoleon
@BoomerSpooner thank you. here was a joke that someone laughed at his Highet to his face and that's what triggered the invention. maybe that's why its a joke .
I'm definitely going to see Napoleon but I'm a little bummed that they cast Joaquin Phoenix as him, he's way to old for the part
@OhioMike That movie looks cool. Tho I heard the real one only last a little while before getting a heart attack.
@Mike403 Yess, I've been excited for this, though I'll wait to stream it.

Napoleon wasn't ACTUALLY short. He was normal height. I've read and heard that Ridley Scott did not stick to a historically accurate portrayal.
IMHO Oppenheimer was amazing! I haven't seen Golda yet.
This movie was more of a love story with some battle scenes thrown in.
I’m a history buff, and would like to see it.
@TheNewNovelist - Don't.. Unless you just want to see a love story about Napoleon and Josephine.
I have not seen it yet, but it'll probably be like Braveheart, very cool, but not entirely accurate due to some creative licenses.
Certainly not a replacement for an actual history book.
"Able was I ere I saw Elba”
And a totally unsubstantiated coincidence, but nevertheless, cool fact: I live in Austin, which used to be called Waterloo.
Has anyone else seen it? I have - I can't recommend it.
I worry this movie will be too short
One of my favorite compositions, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, is quite apropos here.
