Think it'll be good? Ridley Scott's movies are a hit and miss sometimes.

I just learned how Napoleon’s grandson died in the British military after taking a Zulu spear and pulling it out of his own body to fight to the death when he eventually got a second spear in the eye.
Pretty badass to be honest. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This has real potential. As long as it’s not Woke-slanted into a “revisionist” Napoleon. But Ridley Scott’s really not known for dipping Woke-ism into his flics, so that’s a positive. |

Vive l'empereur!
(I read David Chandler's The Campaigns of Napoleon). Somebody should have told him not to invade Russia. He captured Moscow but it had been abandoned by the Tsar. They waited for the French to retreat and then hounded them back to the border. La Grande Armee was destroyed as a result (poor clothing, lack of food, weather). |

La Grande Armee was destroyed as a result (poor clothing, lack of food, weather). And even after that he STILL won back the loyalty of the soldiers during the Hundred Days, it's so fucking epic. An anecdote illustrates Napoleon's charisma: when royalist troops were deployed to stop the march of Napoleon's force at Laffrey, near Grenoble, Napoleon stepped out in front of them, ripped open his coat and said "If any of you will shoot his Emperor, here I am." The men joined his cause And even after he lost, he won over many of his british captors because he was such a charismatic dude. I wonder if we'll ever see another man like that again. |

Hope it is a good representation.
For me, the classic actor of Napoleon will be the one from Waterloo. Great movie if you haven't seen. Huge cast of extras as soldiers. When he is leaving for the first time:  Waterloo (1970) - Napoleon leaving France And the scene mentioned above - return for the 100 days.  Waterloo (1970) ~Napoleon's Return to Power |

The whole French Revolution and the rise and fall of Napoleon I is a fascinating part of World history. It shaped or influenced MUCH of our current World events. Everything from what would become the continental United States to what is happening in Ukraine today.
He had topographically correct miniatures made of potential battlefields throughout Europe, Russia, the Mediterranean and studied them, forming strategies, years before any potential battle would manifest. He had them updated regularly and used them much like we use modern satellite imagery. Maximilien Robespierre is another fascinating figure from the French Revolution as well. |

Phoenix is strange but pulled off Johnny Cash, the Joker and Commodus who was similar to Caligula and Nero. Dudes a good actor. But maybe the rock or vin diesel would be better for one of the greatest and most interesting people in history
