Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ridley Scott is known for making historical epics, and while many fans were excited about the Napoleon movie, his take on the life of the dictator, it failed to capture the hearts and minds of audiences. Scott's film chronicles Napoleon's rise to power and centers his relationship with Joséphine, his first wife and constant companion through his life.
8 Love And Death Directed by Woody Allen Close Since Love and Death was made earlier in Woody Allen's career, it avoids some of the self-indulgence that wracks his later projects. Starring himself and the incomparable Diane Keaton, the film takes a satirical approach to the subject of the Napoleonic Wars and their impact on the Russian people.
It's considered one of Audrey Hepburn's best movies thanks to the material her character, Natasha, provides her with. Napoleon and his attempts to claim Russia and all of Europe start as a feature of the background since the romantic entanglements of the characters are front and center. However, as the plot progresses it becomes clear that war is what drives the characters to act the way they do, and their actions are a metaphor for the changing nation.
It tells a fictionalized version of events that could have occurred on the high seas. The history of the conflict between the French and British is long and deep-rooted in each country's military encounters, and looking at the Napoleonic Wars through the contained lens of a British Naval ship was an interesting approach by the filmmakers. Most stories that attempt to take on the wars and this arduous period of history try to make the narrative as broad and sweeping as possible.
Instead of focusing on the love story between Napoleon and Joséphine, the story most closely follows the life of Désirée Clary .
