Ridley Scott's Depressing Napoleon Biopic
This chapter discusses Ridley Scott's movie about Napoleon and how it lacks an epic feel, feeling flat and depressing. The hosts touch on the psychology of Ridley Scott and how it reflects in his work, as well as the overall state of mid to late career directors' movies being boring and un-epic. They also mention the portrayal of Napoleon's non-military victories and the lack of opinion on world historical events in the film.
