How accurate is the new Napoleon film? Sorting fact from fiction (Andrew Roberts, The Sunday Times, Nov 19 2023)

"Sir Ridley Scott’s long-awaited movie Napoleon will have a great effect on how the French emperor is viewed in the popular imagination.

So it was with some trepidation that I watched it.

Would it reproduce the old Anglo-American historical stereotype of a jumped-up Corsican tyrant, or might it recognise that in fact Napoleon created the Enlightenment’s institutions, many of which last to this day?

For here was an opportunity to change the tired conventional view of Napoleon put forward by so many postwar Anglophone historians that Napoleon was essentially merely a prototype for Adolf Hitler.

Sadly and somewhat predictably for an 85-year-old whose mindset was formed by the Second World War, Scott has gone for the intellectually discredited stereotype of a dictator who goes mad with hubris. (…)

Scott has remarked before that “f***ing historians” don’t know what happened in Napoleonic times because “they weren’t there”.

But in fact there is a plethora of believable first-hand accounts from people who were indeed there, used by historians to discover what happened.

What these first-hand accounts tell us is that Napoleon was a witty, highly intellectual and attractive personality, whose reforms changed first France and then Europe for the better.

Whenever his armies entered European cities they liberated the Jews from their ghettos, giving them civil and religious liberties.

He was therefore precisely the opposite of the malignant, humourless, Jew-hating Führer. (…)

So firm is the assumption that Napoleon’s psyche had “run wild” that he is given the line to Joséphine: “I must begin my march to Moscow.”

Yet the whole point of the 1812 campaign was that Napoleon had no intention of going more than 50 miles inside Russia, in what was intended to be a three-week campaign.

As he crossed the river Niemen, there was no “march to Moscow”.

There are plenty of people in history who have a Napoleon complex, but Napoleon himself was not one of them, despite what Scott and Kirby might say.

This show also assumes Napoleon lost in Russia solely because the weather got cold in winter, as if the highly intelligent and well-read emperor did not know it would.

No mention is made of the typhus that killed 100,000 men, which Napoleon could not have foreseen.

At one point in the movie, Joséphine forces Napoleon to say: “I am just a brute that is nothing without you.”

Quite apart from the appalling syntax, the line, like so many in this visually stunning but historically tone-deaf film, fails to ring true.

Yet it is not from thousand-page biographies that the mass of people take their history today, but from movies like this.

Henceforth, therefore, Napoleon Bonaparte — the great world force of the Enlightenment who ended the French Revolution and dragged country after country out of ancien-regime torpor and into the vibrant 19th century — will merely be a brute who was nothing without his Joséphine."

I know there are enough reviews but at this point i just want to add a few things that annoyed me personally

• Napoleon throwing food at Josephine because she isnt pregnant yet, her calling him fat and throwing food back before storming off in tears

• They put the divorce before Tilsit, swapping dates completly

•Letizia bribing nap to sleep with Eleonore Denuelle making him tipsy and turning off all the lights so he can bring himself to sleep with her. Because he cant obviously perform without being handheld by Letizia etc.

•German dub makes him sound like commodus -> whiny and like an entitled toddler

• Erasing Ney from everything (and everyone else except Davout who has maybe 3 lines and dwells in the background) but still doing a useless cavallery charge at waterloo led by Napoleon and letting Napoleon meet the 5th Regiment after fleeing from Elba

•Music was good, sadly they recyceld at least one earlier piece of the composer from the BBC war&peace Show

•Battles didnt make sense and where pretty underwhelming

•Tsar Alexander and Josephine

•Showing at the end how many people died in each battle because of him while not making it even believable in the movie itself

I think the Rest was already said by enough other people on here

Audience reactions to Napoleon…

Any thoughts on the upcoming Napoleon movie?

I just came back from seeing it.

An English schoolboy's narrative of the life of Napoleon done by a particularly bad student.

Carrie Soto and Bowe Huntley!

They are such an underrated couple from the Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books, I needed to draw them! I want to make more TJR books artwork (since they seem to do well on here!!), maybe Daisy and Billy will be the next ones?
