hello ⚘️ I really love to say that napoleon bonaparte is very handsome and pretty I don't care about his height 🥰🥰 and that because hate Josephine because her cheating hoe could she doing that his such baby 😢😢

Like Julius Caesar, I don’t think Napoléon Bonaparte would be considered handsome by our society’s standard. Though he looked quite sicklish with a bit of yellowish complexion in his youth, he became healthier when he became First Consul. He was said to have a charming smile and lively blue-gray eyes (people described his “piercing gaze that went right through you”), an aquiline profile, and Jacques Louis David was fascinated with Napoléon’s “classically structured face”. He was considered handsome in his time I believe.

If you wish to know how he looked like, this post is very interesting.

Some actors portraying Napoléon were also quite handsome! My favourite is Daniel Mesguich. Just look at him!

The general belief of Napoléon being short is a pet peeves of mine, because he wasn’t as short as legend as led us to believe. He was actually 1,69 m tall (the equivalent to 5’5), which was the average height for his time. While he was called Le petit caporal (which you can translate as “the little corporal”), it was not meant as a reflection of his stature but more a term of affection by his soldiers. Napoléon also liked to surround himself by his troops and his guards, which he chose to be very tall men, so of course he would look very short in comparison. Alas, we can also thank our English friends for this belief as well. I believe it was largely the work of a British cartoonist who caricatured Napoléon as a small man in the 19th century, and his works were very popular and influential.

As for Napoléon and Joséphine, I do love their relationship a lot, even though it wasn’t an ideal one. Joséphine seemed bemused by his love for her at first, she used him because she needed him, and she did cheat on him and they almost divorced in the early years of their marriage but they stayed together and settled into a more mature relationship where Joséphine grew up to have a genuine affection for him and Napoléon always loved Joséphine, even if he had to divorce her, though that didn’t stop him from cheating on her multiple times. Like I said, their relationship wasn’t perfect, but I still love them!

because Phoenix isn't just too old, he's also too serious, too stoic. If your young Napoleon doesn't have some goofy gremlin energy then what's the point?

The second pic is Daniel Mesguich in Joséphine ou la comédie des ambitions (1979), if anyone is curious

Look at this Napoleon 🥺😩

(Daniel Mesguich in Joséphine ou la comédie des ambitions)

Rating: Cute!

Napoleons often express affection with touch! This Napoleon is perhaps feeling sad, but he's cuddling either out of affection or as a method of comfort. My one question is why he appears to be wearing eyeliner. Don't test makeup products on your Napoleons!

Alain Robbe-Grillet erzählt uns endlich mal wieder eine handfeste, solide Agentengeschichte mit schönen Frauen, Geheimgesellschaft, Vampiren und extremem Schuhfetischismus sowie Daniel Emilfork in seiner ganzen Pracht.

Basierend auf einigen Magritte-Gemälden mit dem Titel La belle captive.

The Beautiful Prisoner

The Beautiful Prisoner    [trailer]

Walter is told by his boss to deliver an urgent letter to Henri de Corinthe. On the way he finds a beautiful woman he had been eying in a nightclub, lying in the road, bound up.

What does it all mean? Dream logic and being a dream within a dream comes to mind. But I guess it's best to avoid such a question because I don't think there is a clear answer.

I can see some references to Magritte and a faint connection with Last Year at Marienbad. But overall this wasn't for me.

Though the brief appearance of Daniel Emilfork as the inspecteur provided some amusing, lighter moments.

I wondered if character names like Zeitgeist and Morgentodt have any additional meaning.

"Molière" biopic d'Ariane Mnouchkine (1978) sur la vie du dramaturge et comédien Jean-Baptiste Poquelin dit Molière (1622-1673), avec Philippe Caubère, Brigitte Catillon, Joséphine Derenne, Mario Gonzáles, Daniel Mesguich, Jean-Claude Penchenat, Jean Dasté, Armand Delcampe et Marie-Françoise Audollent, avril 2022. Petite anecdote perso : intriguée depuis l'enfance par ce film car le bébé de nos voisins de l'époque - intermittants du spectacle - y faisait une apparition ^^)

Got any recommendations for more Napoleon movies? I really want to try watching another one after getting high off Waterloo.

Sure, but you’re in for the long haul on this post!

Now keep in mind not everything I’ll mention is Napoleon-centric. The vast majority of the media I consume involving my favorite gremlin man isn’t meant to be about him at all. Also remember I’m not always here for history, sometimes accuracy must be sacrificed for a good time! Nevertheless, I’ll try to find some films close to being like Waterloo in terms of history-ness. 

For some history, we have:

Napoléon

First shown in 1927, Napoléon is a silent film that I’ve come to appreciate. Not only was it fucking revolutionary for its camerawork at the time, but Albert Dieudonné also makes a fantastic gremlin man. I mean just look at the pure DRAMA on this man’s face! Would recommend, I enjoyed it thoroughly.  

Monsieur N.

Jumping ahead a few decades, Monsieur N. is a 2003 film about Napoleon’s last years. There’s a good bit of both French and English, and I found versions with captions! It also includes a good bit of conspiracies surrounding Napoleon’s death, always a nice touch! 

Austerlitz

To the 1960s! Austerlitz is, as you might have already guessed, a film about the gremlin man’s victory at Austerlitz. It’s so damn 60s and I love it to death. La Marche d’Austerlitz is also one of my all-time favorite compositions and I get giddy whenever I hear it! Jean Ledrut made a fantastic piece, at least in my opinion. 

Now for a few things not totally pertaining to your question, but I liked them enough to share! 

Joséphine ou la Comédie des ambitions

Listen. I love this series. I don’t speak French but was enamored the entire time. Look at him. Look at Daniel Mesguich as Napoleon. He’s everything I could have ever wanted. Is this series about Josephine? Yes. Am I in it for my mans? Abso-fucking-lutely. 

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

I know, I know! This movie is not even close to being about my mans! I’m not going to kid when I say I added this because Alain Chabat is such a funny Napoleon I was grinning in every scene he was in! I know this is a far cry from a masterpiece of a film, but it’s been a feel-good movie for me since I was small. This (along with my endless love for Assassin’s Creed: Unity) is what sparked my interest in Napoleon in the first place! Watch Night at the Museum, make serotonin, have fun with your history!

So, in conclusion, I may watch too much history stuff. I spent my day losing my shit at Geoffrey Rush in Quills and it isn’t even the weekend. I’ll leave you with a picture of a disheveled and disappointed-looking Charlie Chaplain as Napoleon.
