Is it weird that I kinda want to watch it more now than I had previously?
Please do more “Alex and Lydia dunk on a bad movie” posts. I love this so much.
Everything you two say about this movie is true. I enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons. The French hate this movie, not hard to see why. Was Ridley Scott going for some kind of Death of Stalin thing? History as farce? This movie could have been any of many different interesting story but chose to be Hat. I liked the hats though. By the end I was thinking I might like one of my own
Back in uni one of my history professors said that the other reason they didn’t kill him is because the kings of Europe didn’t want to “set a precedent.” If you kill this guy anointed by the Pope, what about this fucker that has his own church. Their church guy doesn’t have nearly as big of a hat.
Thinking on that makes me pessimistic of Current Events.
(After the quote was my tangent, the the prof’s. Though that would have made an interesting class.)
I’m getting the sense that Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure featured a more historically accurate portrayal of Napoleon…
Hell, I think Jack Of All Trades did a better job when they had Verne “Mini Me” Troyer play Napoleon seml-satirically.
