Forget Joaquin Phoenix´s age, which is obviously not right for the role ( he´s way too old to play Napoleon), what I want to know is: why does he play Napoleon like if he´s playing again Arthur Fleck from Joker?
Napoleon Bonaparte was by all historical accounts an extremely charismatic, energetic, brilliant & shrewd military commander/statesman/ leader of men.
In this movie, Napoleon is NONE of this.

Napoleon was born in 1769, he would have been 34 when he was crowned Emperor. Joaquin Phoenix, pushing 50, looked it, plump with big body did not look like Napoleon who was slim, boyish and charismatic. I admire Ridley Scott for his many movies, but sadly his Napoleon should have been played by a much younger actor.

My favorite historical figure, in one of my favorite moments. He invited the pope to Paris, which during this time was a hard trip, just to embarrass and upstage him. I wish I had the chance to go back in time and talk to the man that arrived in France a refugee and 5 years later was the emperor. A unique and deeply interesting figure in history.

Napoleon was 34, youthful, energetic, charismatic, experienced but still young enough to dare on the principle of "but what if it works?" This is the opposite of that.

[EzekielDeLaCroix]

Ridley Scott should know when to just lie down and give up

[schgag]

O man what a mistake, Napoleon was 35 years old when became an emperor, this guy looks around 60

[mrstinkabell]

I love Ridley Scott but like others have said, I believe his Napoleon is way too old. Perhaps seeing he had worked with JP before in the wonderful Gladiator, and liked him and his acting then, so although it's 23/24 years later, 'plumped' for JP again. Who knows what goes on in the mind of a great director?

[generalsandnapoleon]

Without a doubt, the best part of that movie! It's like seeing artwork come alive. Nice work, costume department and set production team.

[JeremyPoulain-gply]

There is a Mini french Serie called "Napoleon" with "Christian Clavier" from 2002 if you peoples are interested in it, but I do not know if it's available in english, audio or subtiles.

To add little bit more tension during the coronation, it should've had included in the Montage, the fact that, The Tympanum of the Cathedral was Severed, in order for his entourage to access the Capella, with full Regalia...

It appears that everyone who commented on this clip will not be watching the movie. Good thing the streaming sales will cover the 200 million production budget. The worldwide appeal means less than 25% of viewers and their cash came from the U.S.

This scene, and the one in which Nappie is sent running with his tail between his legs while attempting the coup of Brumaire are the best bits of this movie. The rest is ridiculous!

[danilsmith]

Whats the song that is played when Napoleon and Josephine exit the cathedral?

[helmilazuardi]

When my grandfather was about to die at the age of seventy he looked like this coronated Napoleon.

[cobracorporal]

Napoleon said it like this *“I found a crown in the kennel; I cleansed it from its filth, and placed it on my head"*

[iamgermane]

The Crown Jewels of France are something to behold in the Louvre.

[raikishuten]

i dont know why, but Ridley Scott could have made this movie FAR more better ....just like how great kingdom of heaven was

[ConstantineJoseph]

Should have chosen a 30 to 40 year old actor to play Napoleon. Pushing 50 which is Joaquin’s age is not a good choice. At that age, it was Napoleons final years at St Helena in exile.

Also the depiction of Napoleon is way too stoic. He was charismatic and loved by his soldiers and generals alike. They loved him so much and he too loved them so much even at his death bed.

This is such a poor portrayal of Napoleon Ridley.

[MafiaAlexander]

This film coulda been hella better, but it's still pretty good.

[JENNY-khto]

IT WAS A MISTAKE OF JOAKIN PHOENIX TO ACT IN THIS FILM. AFTER JOKER, WHICH HAD SUCH HUGE IMPACT, HE SHOULD WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL JOKER 2, AND THEN MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE. EVERYBODY WAITS FOR JOKER 2. A "NAPOLEON" IN BETWEEN BLURRED THE IMAGE, AND WAS CONDEMNED TO PASS UNNOTICED. JOAKIN S MANAGER SHOULD HAVE WARNED HIM...NAPOLEON WAS AN INTERLUDE (A WRONG ONE) BETWEEN TWO JOKERS.
