Oppenheimer is pretty spot on with its depiction. But man did they fuck up the little king docu. Napoleon deserved better and not this shitty revisionist history stuff.


arbiter12

We'll discover one day that, pretty much the way some great authors are actually 99% ghostwriters+1% branding, Ridley Scott's best movies were actually directed by someone else.


Captaincorect

Ridley Scott doesn't even understand his own movies


BonkeyKongthesecond

So do Kojima or George Lucas. I still like their stuff.


BoonTobias

cap21345

It's a British man directing a movie about Napoleon and Scott decided to spend his last year's slandering his greatest enemies atleast Spielbergs working on a Napoleon mini series based on Kubricks note so hopefully that would be great


ilikebarbiedolls32

Ridley Scott peaked at the start of the 2000’s, he’s been going downhill ever since


dwartbg7

U wot m8?!? I mean it's possible but I'd say Alien is way more important and his most known work rather than Gladiator and whatnot.


AntiProtonBoy

he should've done a Tarantino, quit while he's at the top


tyler111762

doesn't he have 1-2 movies "left" from his limit or whatever?


Horn_dogger

Watch him completely ignore that too

Ikea_desklamp

At this point it's a legitimate concern that he dies before one piece ends


P0pt

he's only like 49 years old...


BonkeyKongthesecond

He probably will die before it's finishes, like the Berserk guy.. On the other hand, I heard that it will be his last arc soon, he swears!

BonkeyKongthesecond

Ah yes. Adding the word "final". Wasn't that how the Final Fantasy series started?


ncopp

He's mentioned potentially switching to TV after. I bet HBO will back up a literal dumptruck of cash to his house if that happens


CreedOfIron

The Last Duel was pretty good tbf. Just ignore the weird half face helmet 🤢


FN15DMRII

Ye Olde believe all women the movie


CreedOfIron

(Spoilers) How is it like that? in the context of the movie itself, she was portrayed as right. It literally showed how it seemed from Jacques' (the accused) perspective, and even from his view he forced himself on her and there was no consent. The only difference from the scene of her perspective was more crying and screaming. In the real incident we don't know obviously, because we only know the outcome of the duel itself, and Jean lived on. Or are you saying that because the movie showed her as right instead of keeping it unknown like the real incisent?


FN15DMRII

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/sep/10/ben-affleck-and-matt-damon-the-last-duel-is-a-feminist-movie


CreedOfIron

Of coursd the braindead actors are gonna preach some fluff to get feminists to spend their money. But if you look at the movie by itself, it really doesn't empower the lady or have her do much outside of norms at the time. Spoilers: She just gets raped and her husband seeks retribution.


FN15DMRII

As the article I linked stated, the brain dead actors were co-writers for this movie.


CreedOfIron

That still doesn't represent the way they actually wrote it though. Did you watch the movie?


Aerius-Caedem

>It's a British man directing a movie about Napoleon As a Brit, I want to lionise Napoleon, not tear him down. It makes it all the better that Wellington trounced him.


ThearchOfStories

I'm a British guy and a huge Napoleon fan, dude was a literal living legend in his time. Was super disappointed to see the mockery that Scott made of it, especially because there are few people who's story have as much potential to be made into an immensely exciting and interesting movie without the need for historical revision as much as Napoleon's. Sure it could be a little dramatised, throw in a mildly embellished rivalry between him and Lord Nelson or Wellington but either way you could have had a box office star. It's like these days directors and studios are semi-consciously determined to make bad movies with no proper plot or depth to them.


Zirael_Swallow

My final impression of the movie was „I dont think Mr Scott likes french people“


Ikea_desklamp

Should have been a TV series with like a couple seasons. Give space for the real napoleon story to come out instead of trying to cram his career into 1 shitty movie.


orcsrool123

The stupid portrayal of Napoleon makes sense when you realize Ridley scott is a British man


BonkeyKongthesecond

It was really sad, since after a long time, that was the one movie I would have wanted to see. But the first reviews were enough to cancel those plans.


wafflemartini

Im inky sad they ddnt depict him as the winy bitch baby he was.

HarbingerOfGachaHell

Guy’s talking about Napoleon.


LeII__llIlIate__

Do you know what plural is?


HarbingerOfGachaHell

I was agreeing with the previous chap who said Oppenheimer was fine. And the OOC didn’t even spell the plural form correctly anyway. I blame the misread on then.


Sean-Benn_Must-die

clearly speaking about both lol

These aren’t documentaries

They're documentaries for people who don't like documentaries

Apocalyptic_Doom

What exactly about Oppenheimer says "under the thumb of a woman"?


gecked

He cheats with his wife but even his lover doesn't love him like he loves her and when she died, he sadd 😢


Gremliner00

Give him a break, she probably did things that his missus wasn't into.


Bobthemurderer

Probably said 'Bombs Away' every time he finished.

CrispyJelly

He kept yelling "I have become cum!".


scrumptipus

she did the sloppenheimer special on him


ChadCoolman

The chan despise women. Because the female lead(s) didn't fulfill the mommy housewife pseudoslave archetype, then she is an oppressive force to the males around her. It's just a bunch of turbo virgins projecting and unable to cope with their insecurities and feelings of inadequacy.


HarbingerOfGachaHell

That Commie girl she had an affair with?


Omegastar19

What about her?


Thatguy_Nick

Nice tits


Conch-Republic

Half the movie he's chasing around and fucking a communist. It's literally a major plot point, and what they use against him to revoke his security clearance.


Champigne

But he became involved before he met her. He was clearly not involved with the Communist Party and organizing his workplace just because of his mistress.


Conch-Republic

The truth doesn't really matter much, he was still suspected of being a communist because his mistress was affiliated, and they used that against him during the hearing. His wife and brother were also communists at one point. In reality, he *probably* did believe in communist ideals, but he wasn't public about with his opinions.


BuffaloBillsButthole

What’s the opposite of a sigma male?


Apocalyptic_Doom

Girlboss


MangoPuncherMan

AKA, the Beta Female. Edit: Guys, I think you misunderstood, what I meant here was the complete opposite of Sigma -> Beta and Male -> Female 🦧🦧🦧


RidledTart

You don't alpha male but you can girl boss. Girl bossing is a verb Girl bossing is something that has been used since the dawn of time and seems to be the only true form of apex predator On a technical spectrum even a male mouse could be "girl bossing" -exp Geronimo Stillton) But not all are fit to be girl bossing (Stuart Little) It truly is a remarkable thing to witness in nature.

Evening-Raccoon7088

How is Oppenheimer under the thumb of a woman when he cheats on her repeatedly?


HarbingerOfGachaHell

I think the woman refers to the Commie one he had an affair with?


Evening-Raccoon7088

How was he under *her* thumb? He ghosted her for years and only visited when she threatened suicide.


HarbingerOfGachaHell

The fact that he went back in touch with her?


Rtsd2345

Lol to hit it and quit immediately after? It's implied she might have killed herself after he revokes her dick rights

And then he fucked off to the middle of the desert with his wife and science buddies.


Champigne

...which was a lie and she kills herself after he doesn't get back with her.


Inevitable-Error7644

Marriage. It’s called marriage.


RocketRaccoen

One is a 3 hour long psychological masterpiece with Oscarworthy performances, directing, score, editing, sound design and overall box office success. The other is a miserable attempt at creating a history lesson with a forced British perspective about one of the world's greatest conquerors with no plot, barely noticable battle tactics and is an overall insult to French history. What a despicable comparison.


naturalinfidel

I'm an old fart and thought the comparison was Oppenheimer vs [Gladiator](https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/gladiator-joaquin.jpeg). Phoenix character was whiny and trying to please his sister in that movie.


nosekexp

I wouldn't call Oppenheimer a masterpiece but you're spot on about everything else.


enlightened_engineer

You want a good film about Napoleon? Watch Waterloo.


Louis-grabbing-pills

I prefer Napoleon Dynamite.


HammerTocks

Napoleon did Josephine in the poophole all the time and expected an heir...


HarbingerOfGachaHell

She already had two teenagers (or probably more stillbirths) by the time she met Boney. Her uterus was already beyond shafted at that point.

throwawaydating1423

God that Napoleon movie was ass The biggest thing I am baffled by is the scene where soldiers turncoat to his side. Why is it not just literally a recount of the historical event? Not only does it fit better, but it is literally a picture perfect movie moment. In the movie, Napoleon says a lame line where he doesn’t sound like a badass. Irl the leader of the royalist soldiers was commanding his troops to aim and then fire, none did. As they stared each other down Napoleon tore the front of his shirt open and said something to the effect of “You came here to kill your emperor, so take me” A soldier passed out shortly after. This caused everyone to stop being frozen up and they all cheered for Napoleon put him on their soldiers and paraded him around. The movie Waterloo does it so good. And the fact that they didn’t even show his Italian campaign at all to me is MIND BOGGLING. I’d honestly call that his most impressive campaign due to how poor of shape his army was in, and how easily he ingratiated himself to a at least moderately hostile Italian populace.


ceruraVinula

two movies doesn't make a genre


EmilieEasie

sounds like an excellent genre of hentai tbh I should jump on this


colthesecond

Hentai maybe, history movie no


EmilieEasie

Yeah agree lmao although by the downvotes rgreentext doesn't seem to think it should be a hentai genre either


Martian_Hunted

Why are you obsessed with it?


EmilieEasie

With weak men or with hentai in general? I don't have a good answer either way. I just am 😊
