Hello,
I hope I’m not breaking any rule by posting this kind of content here.
Are you looking forward this movie?
Uhhh, is this real, cause if so, Ridley is not going to get any hardcore history buffs with this movie. They already have Waterloo, a movie that will literally take a whole army to top.
17,000 soldiers in Waterloo (1970)
This is real: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_(2023_film) Though it looks like it will focus on his rise and other battles (6) rather than just Waterloo.
Not complaining, but I think I prefer the poster on this Wikipedia article than the one posted.
It looks better, to be honest
There's also a 6-hour-long silent film epic biography of Napoleon made in the 1920s by Abel Gance. It uses split screen in really interesting ways.
Does this poster look like a cheap photoshop job to anyone else?
I'm making no comment on the movie itself, I generally like Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix.
But this poster looks really off to me for some reason. Just a quick try at what's bugging me...Joaquin's face looks shopped into the hat/coat. The sword looks shopped into the hands. The entire horse and rider look copy/pasted over a stock background.
I agree, something is weird
Looks pretty real to me. I'd say it is simply a "meh" photo, that somehow got chosen as a teaser pic.
Yeah I believe it's real, like that this is an actual poster. It just looks pretty shit for an official poster 🙂
The French Revolutionaries banned Slavery
Napoleon Reinstated slavery as soon as he took power
Fuck Napoleon
I don't think anybody thinks he was a good guy. But an interesting guy, for sure.
Did Napolean carried a cavalry saber? I thought he was an artillery officer.
Is this young or old napolean... I'd imagine once he was commander of entire armies he used whatever he wanted...I'm no historian obviously
I'm not an expert by any means, maybe the first of the historical inaccuracies of this movie
Napoleon Thanksgiving: A heartwarming comedy directed by Ridley Scott.
I'll probably watch it. But I wouldn't say I'm eagerly awaiting it like I did with Oppenheimer.
Looking forward to the movie... But i do wish it was a mini series, there is just so much to cover.
Seems like it's a bit late to make an Ani DiFranco music video?
Napoleon is afraid.
Yep, that's a Napoleon alright.
I love Ridley Scott, but whenever I think about this movie I can't help but regret that Kubrick never got the chance to make his Nappy film.
It may still come about in some form:
Steven Spielberg “Mounting A Big Production” For Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Napoleon’; Project Is Set As Seven-Part Limited Series For HBO
