Summary: Napoleon (2023) is a historical epic biopic that despite its many failures, surely does not fail to provoke a reasonably strong reaction for even the casual observer or student of history. Ridley Scott - Napoleon's director and producer - is no stranger to this genre of film throughout the stretch of his legendary career. Napoleon may well be Scott's most controversial, and for those who desire a modicum of historical accuracy in their historical films, Scott's most disappointing. Indeed, Ridley Scott's depiction of Napoleon Bonaparte in this movie could in all fairness be deemed unambiguous character assassination.<br> Join Field Marshal Odo's A.D.ophyte Army on Patreon!: patreon.com/adhistorypodcast
