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.

theragu40@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

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

Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 3y

I'm not an expert by any means, maybe the first of the historical inaccuracies of this movie

Looking forward to the movie... But i do wish it was a mini series, there is just so much to cover.

robocall@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

I'll probably watch it. But I wouldn't say I'm eagerly awaiting it like I did with Oppenheimer.

Seems like it's a bit late to make an Ani DiFranco music video?

Napoleon is afraid.

CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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:
