Utopia Talk / Politics / Napoleon - ot

obaminated rank	Thu Aug 29 22:43:11 2024 Ridley's edition is out on apple. Added about 45 minutes, so now it's 4 hours long. I thought the theatrical version was decent but long. I'm glad I can watch this at home because 4 hours is a hell of a long time to watch a movie.
Rugian rank	Thu Aug 29 22:56:57 2024 I wanted to like the theatrical version but I just couldn't. The entire movie was 1) scene dryly reciting a pivotal event in Napoleon's career -> 2) scene between him and Josephine to give Joaquin's characterization of Napoleon some sort of pathos -> 3) pivotal event several years later -> 4) scene with Josephine -> repeat ad infinitum The movie tried to be an epic tale of the rise and fall of a great man of history, but it just felt flat to me. A shame, because Napoleon's biography should by rights be a gold mine of material for Hollywood to make entertaining content out of.
Dukhat rank	Fri Aug 30 08:30:23 2024 Ridley Scott is the most on and off director ever. Classics like Alien and Gladiator mixed with completely forgettable dreck.
TheChildren rank	Fri Aug 30 08:33:54 2024 ridley washed out kingdom of heaven is crap then they blamed it on "managers in suit" and added anotha shitty directors cut of like 40 min can find it nowhere and nowhere thought it was good anyway all his movies lately suck. gladiator was trash in fact i cannot think of any movie that was good only alien
Hrothgar rank	Tue Sep 03 17:11:29 2024 This movie was a big letdown for me. Not nearly enough Napoleon being a battlefield genius and WAY too much of his boring ass personal life at home.
