Napoleon (2023)

Looks epic, for sure...

Hard to imagine it living up to some of Ridley Scott's best films, though...

Also, shouldn't they be speaking French? **scratches head**

I suspect this film will be badass.

As always with Ridley Scott, it could be absolutely tremendous or it could be utter dog shît. Let's find out.

I didn't bother with The Last Duel. It looked like kind of a long, depressing slog.

This does at least look much more interesting.

Hope we get the good Ridley with this.

The Last Duel is good, it's just slow. So be in that kind of mood.

Why is Joaquin Phoenix speaking with an American accent? Other than that, looks great

Fair point. 😆

Looks cool. My main concern is this seems to be about almost his entire life and I'm not sure how they can cram that all into 3 hours.

Because no one wants to hear them speaking nasally Frog for three hours.

Alongside Christian Weston Chandler Napoleon is probably the single most well-documented person to ever live so doing a movie based around all the major parts of his entire life is hugely ambitious if it isn't like six ****ing hours. If the buzz is good when it comes out I'll watch it though.

Definitely gonna wanna I love Ridley Scott

Will the war of 1812 be a footnote in it?

I think they should speak Basil Fawlty french. YouTube video

I'm glad Jaoquin is speaking in his normal voice and not in some bad accent. I think the audience understands that the character is supposed to be French.

American actors also often struggle with foreign accents. Even the good ones are just kinda okay.

eg House of Gucci is good film, but Driver's Italian accent was a hard pill to swallow. Sounded like he was trying to make fun of Italian Americans.

Shit, some American actors struggle with regional American english accents. Matt Damon sounding like a Texan, Kevin Costner trying any accent other than his own.
