    If Kubrick was alive he'd be making dog s*** like everyone else

    nah he'd be making bangers like Lynch, Marty and Beastwood

  • Shin Chan

    Just got out

    Was pretty good

    I definitely see how a longer cut could benefit this movie. I think for the fact I wanted more story tbh

    I’d give it a solid 3 / 5

    I'd actually like to see him do more French history tbh. I hope there's heavy expansion in the beginning with Robespierre, the Reign of Terror, the degradation of the Monarchy, etc.

    It's such a goofy movie, I don't think it's great, but it's fun

    Martin always had the workrate
    Eastwood always had the workrate
    Malick had the workrate (post hiatus)

    Lynch hasn't made a film in forever.

    Kubrick was slow and picky. You might have 2 more films from him (AI? Napoleon?). Hell he might've retired. Look at Todd Field, his progeny.

    Scott is a director for hire more than any of those guys

    Fair I know I mean all races to be fair not just black and white . We cou definitely use some focusing on Muslim leaders too

    just read a 5 novel series about Genghis and the Mongolian horde and man I wish they would turn it into a monster expensive tv show or film franchise. Would be a good way for Hollywood to piss off China cause they dont love his legacy.

    an empire so big it stretched across the buddhist, muslim and christian words and they allowed freedom of faith for whatever region they conquered, usually slowly adapting it themselves over time

    big Ridley fan and huge Napoleonic history guy, just got out of this and it was a complete miss for me. offensively inaccurate for most of the characterizations/interpersonal relationships, but even beyond that it tries to cover way way too much ground.

    gives absolutely no context for why or how Napoleon was able to accomplish anything that he did and just flashes through like a greatest hits of random s*** that happened in his life. somehow makes one of the most interesting figures in history seem like a dolt. love you Ridley bro but idk wtf you were on for this s***. it was well shot at least and had some really pretty sets lol

    Yeah it does pretty much spend the entire movie with the undertone (often louder than that lol) that the guy just had dumb luck to achieve what he did, or had much more resources than he deserved

    And if you needed that reinforced... the last scene with the death counts reinforces that heavily lol

    I don't know if he just read how bad the Russian invasion went and wanted to clown the guy for his performance or what

    Exactly the type of movie I want to see . S*** I would watch a movie about Tank Man in tianamen square or a horror about a photographer who had to photograph aftermath of Hiroshima

    Give us some movies about non white leaders

    They're making one about Rustin, the civil rights leader who was a rabid Zionist and CIA asset. They focus on him being gay and MLK's friend tho

    This movie made me wish for a Zedong, Hitler or Stalin movie in the same tone, but China would never allow a movie that made him seem even 25% as distasteful (and goofy) as Bonaparte did here

    Lynch made an 18 hour movie (masterpiece) with The Return which makes up for alot of time off

    if Malick can have a sudden late career surge like this then surely Kubrick could have. I been a fan long enough to remember when nobody could believe he actually had another flick up his sleeve with New World.

    and yeah Ridley has one classic (American Gangster) and like 2 actual good films in the last 2 decades (Martian, Body of Lies)

    He could've but nobody would bet on that lol

    House of Gucci and Napoleon are both really funny. Idk how much contemporary wide release stuff you watch, but he is a cut above most of it.

    they already made a Stalin movie for tv with Robert Duvall in stiff ass prosthetic makeup it wasnt too bad. Showed his early bandit days, s***ting the bed when Germany attacked, all the paranoia and conniving and bureaucracy.

    Death of Stalin was pretty f***in funny too ngl. I could almost see them doing something in that tone for Hitler but Taika already did fkn Jojo Rabbit. Bruno Ganz already played as realistic a Hitler as anybody ever should.

    Moa could probably have a funny film later in his life but the Chinese revolution, 30 year civil war, Japanese invasion and the Long March was pretty serious s***. Wouldn't make sense to make him look like a buffoon when he was executing some of the most successful gorilla tactics ever. also would be going too far to piss off china lol.
