Napoleon
Directed by
Ridley Scott
2023
The new film “Napolean” with Joachin Phoenix in the title role is great. Phoenix who earned a well deserved Oscar for his role as the Joker is terrific in his role. The film depicts the rise and subsequent fall of the tyrant and his political and military careers.
Much attention is given to his military campaigns and the senseless destruction and carnage. The closing credits inform us that twenty three million people died in his wars over a twenty two year period. My favorite parts are the scenes involving Russia and there is much about this film that is timely.
An excellent film highly recommended.
One reply on “Napoleon”
I need to see this movie, I’ve studied the campaigns of Napoleon in the past and am very interested in this history. He was a great general, but a callous human being lacking in empathy for his own troops or the opposition.
