    Napoleon (2023) - Ridley Scott film

    I actually don't know that much about Napoleonic history, so this might be an educational watch

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Saw this the other day and found the trailer to be quite underwhelming. Also finding it hard to see Phoenix in the role as well.

    I'll probably check it out at some stage, but Scott has been leaving me very cold with his output in the last 10 or so years. Although he has a proven eye for the period, as seen in 'The Duellists'. But I think his recent lacklustre offerings is mainly just down the fact that Scott's best years are behind him, just like a lot of directors that cut their teeth in the 70's.

    I think it looks great. The trailer is awesome.

    A colleague of mine has seen it. He said he didn't really know more about Napoleon coming out than he did going in. So I don't think it's going to be all that educational.
