Old Collingwood Posted November 24, 2023 Author #2436 Posted November 24, 2023 Hi all, I haven't done anything of late to be honest we try to rash-ion the electricity usage in the winter by not using any unnecessary items like my modelling light, even our table lamps we try to keep off at night and just rely on light from our tv and a candle, it isn't too bad when I can model with daylight through our door in the Spring - Summer, that's why I tend to do reading and commenting on other builds and messing with my photos.

I was told that the movie is a hot mess. Apparently they tried to rewrite the story so that it's all about Napoleon's love for Josephine and how she motivated him to conquer most of Europe. Too much screen time devoted to those two and major battles and strategic planning is glossed over or skimmed. Apparently the acting isn't great either, as if everybody "turned up and did the bare minimum to avoid getting fired" and so they all look oddly indifferent. What a way to ruin what could be an interesting movie by injecting a love story that nobody cares about. We turn up to watch Napoleon, not Josephine.

When are we going to see an accurate film about anything... Fact is the enemy of the filmmaker today... It's all about the personalities and the invented dramas from the twisted minds of the producers... Who needs it? There is enough phoney drama to go around.... WE are inundated with it on a daily basis...

Roger Pellett Posted December 7, 2023 #2440 Posted December 7, 2023 Battle scenes with real soldiers, cannons and lots of action is expensive. A love story with a couple of sex scenes tossed in for good measure is cheap. Roger Egilman, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
Keith_W Posted December 7, 2023 #2441 Posted December 7, 2023 Well the fallout from that movie continues. Second week and it's massively losing viewers at the box office. Ridley Scott has told historians to "get a life" because he is feeling the heat from all the historic inaccuracies in the film. A much better movie about Napoleon is Waterloo (1970) starring Rod Steiger as Napoleon, Christopher Plummer as Wellington, and Orson Welles as Louis XVIII. It is free to watch on Youtube!
