from The Historical Movies Podcast
Ep. 001 Napoleon (2023).Where better place to start this podcast than with possibly the biggest historical figure of them all - Napoleon. But is the incredible life of the Corsican general simply too grand to fit on the big screen?We discuss how the myth of Napoleon falls into the 'great man' theory of history. What director Sir Ridley Scott (from here on 'Sridley') was trying to say with this movie (and whether we think he succeeded) and we talk about what we loved and didn't about this historical blockbuster.Have a suggestion for a better hat movie that this or would like to get in touch with us?
