The French seem to have an alternate vision of history.

Napoleon and his teams, they really did great realisation showing a higher IQ and mind finesses. English disposed of him because he was not stupid enough. So the way he is depicted in the film show him like a brutal little peasant with no finesses and no moral. This is something unable to inspire great realisation. He defeated all armies by the Russians. The English would have soon fall so he could get back some colonies.

What you must understand is that English side and French side within USA were at war, and this war is still going on because this is about monarchy against liberty in Europe. They treat USA like an English colony they can take over. They control it like they control Canada or Australia but this is not official. So Ridley Scott he make happy his English or Canadian producer or whomever they hide behind.

A film is no more an investment of an artist. This is more like a propaganda. Napoleon was a chess player. He was somebody who was know to work 18 hours a day. He inspired a most advanced progress in the French state. He put an end to the anarchy in Paris after the revolution where English were starting to kill a lot and manipulate the people with lies. He put an end to the terror period and protected France by doing the war needed. He was emperor rank, and this nobody ever doubted it. He has the mind and the realisation all over Paris. He invented education for military and new strategic. What he didn’t own, he was able to control.

This is a complicate period of history. He made some big mistake to win this war. He paid English for peace a too high price. And was about to come to take back this price. So he was disposed off. And we have still an English monarchy problem in France who always try to destroy Paris power to not be overpowered. And they have no low downer to go for this objective.

America need to do a French critics because USA is remembering all they love and are proud of, this is about them being French after all. The Liberty Statue, this is even French creation.

Napoleon is the poor man who become an emperor equal and better than all emperors one to one while being a peasant or near for them. This is a self made man who made another revolution after the rich people of Paris who followed the poorest one at la Bastille. He crown himself and immortalised it in a still very protected painting.
No emperor in Europe recent history can do that painting. They all inherit it by blood doing nothing to deserve those thrones and powers. And one man manage to be emperor, full rank and honour while having been done nothing to rich this level and he beat them all.
He was not the finest man. But he had greatest mind for a poor from his generation who didn’t even have a father (just a mom and sisters). Even today, do you have the level of difficulty for a man to build himself without a dad ? It was even worse at the time in Corsica.
I have done the same. So I know how much the English throne is weak and the Japan throne is weak without its millennia natural bloodline safe keeping. You will have to prove the choice of God. And this will be hard because somebody manage to make very believable copy on first sight.

He was truly a great genius. And even if they have sublime some part, don’t underestimate the third revolution against Vatican in France.
1789 : La bastille : this is the poorest.
1791 : The end of the king : the rich and small nobility starting the age of true terror
1804 : A small men crown himself emperor and show all the talent of a revolutionary roman emperor starting to build school, justice, military and better administration.
Three revolutions in France. His was the most dangerous in the world to do. The most complicated one. He is defeated because they can’t let a poor man rule without dynasty blood even if chosen by God. Too dangerous for all those fake kings and emperors.
Emperor became a rank with special security from nature thanks to French unknown thinkers. You have to show god choose you to keep the rank. This is an IQ rank but with a bit of magic too to please the english.
