Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ridley Scott has branched out into several different genres in his directorial career, but historical films appear to hold a special place in his heart. Ridley Scott has been directing since 1965, and in his illustrious career, he has created some of the most iconic and spectacular films of modern cinema.
The film is still beautifully shot, with epic action and drama throughout, but the story, and its originality, ultimately separated it from its audience. In addition, any historical drama or epic should attempt to be as faithful and accurate as possible, regardless of the source material, but the lack of interest or desire to maintain the original stories' series of events appears to have ultimately made this film Scott's least successful or popular historical movie.
6 1492: Conquest Of Paradise Almost two decades earlier, Scott produced and directed a film that was intended to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas. 1492: Conquest of Paradise was also the recipient of mixed reviews which pointed to its tendency to fictionalize and edit history to suit it's epic historical narrative.
The story had a healthy budget, and a talented cast and crew that helped make it a visually stunning event, with wonderful performances from Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby in particular, who played his wife, Joséphine. Unlike some of Scott's other historical movies, Napoleon leaned into its action sequences with several battles playing out in the film's runtime.
