Napoleon (2023): Ridley Scott’s Historical Hit Piece | A.D. HISTORY WATCHES REVIEW

Napoleon (2023) is a historical epic biopic that despite its many failures, surely does not fail to provoke a reasonably strong reaction for even the casual observer or student of history. Ridley Scott - Napoleon's director and producer - is no stranger to this genre of film throughout the stretch of his legendary career. Napoleon may well be Scott's most controversial, and for those who desire a modicum of historical accuracy in their historical films, Scott's most disappointing. Indeed, Ridley Scott's depiction of Napoleon Bonaparte in this movie could in all fairness be deemed unambiguous character assassination.

Have you ever wondered about all the history we’ve missed? The amazing figures that are seemingly forgotten, incredible events passed over, or what a picture of true world history actually looks like? Or how history played out in the eyes of those who lived it and made it? The A.D. History Podcast explores the last two thousand years of world history, in an innovative new way. Join hosts Paul K. DiCostanzo and Patrick Foote as they examine the past two millennia, beginning in 1 AD, progressing forward ten years every episode until they reach the modern day. Within each ten-year installment, Paul and Patrick aim to share incredibly important, but often overlooked historic events and figures from around the world in prospective fashion; trying to see history through the eyes and in the world of those who lived it. By identifying these sometimes lesser known, but in no way less significant aspects of history, A.D. History seeks to identify the many disparate threads that weave the fuller, richer tapestry of history from around the world.
