Napoleon (Ridley Scott) - 11/22/23

[JuanHamm]

These are supposed to be historically accurate movies.

Huh?

I said these are supposed to be historically accurate movies

I watched the trailer again, and Napoleon blows up the top of a pyramid with a cannon about a minute in

The actual napoleon did that.
They gave up shooting when they weren’t making much of a dent but also running low on shot.

This did not happen

We all saw it happen in the trailer, bud

Sure wish they would get the accents right when delivering this dumb as dirt exposition and Skeletor-depth character study dialog.

[wease]

Why is Napoleon the only one with an American accent before there even were American accents? Should most of the accents at least be fucking French?

[tree_]

I've never liked wease more, which isn't actually saying much.

[The Argonaut]

Having them speak English in a French accent would be worse. Comical, even. There's a long history of America movies about foreigners, full of Americans speaking American. Other countries do it, too. Chernobyl was full of people with posh English accents. Just roll with it

[BurtReynolds]

I assume this guy is in it somewhere. Whenever Hollywood needs a french guy, this guy is always there.

[Coach]

Why so many British accents in Star Wars???

The answer in the question.

The empire is based on their empire. And they were evil bastards who did horrific shit to billions.

Some of them still are evil bastards.

cheerio!

At the end of the day, you really can't change the sound of your voice.

[Jorge]

Sure you can. With computers

Tell that to Daniel Day Lewis or Christian Bale. You people have lowered your standard for acting.

[BurtReynolds]

You people have lowered your standard for acting.

You need enthusiasm, joy, innocence, charm Chalamet appears to emit in oodles.

You can though.

completely different kinds of movies, dude

But they need to be consistent. One character, the titular character no less, speaking in a different accent in which they’re all supposed to be from the same place is stupid.

We had this conversation earlier in the thread. I said this exact thing. Thank you for being on the right side of history for once.

[Coach]

It turns out, at the end of the day, you can change the sound of your voice.

If you're getting paid one million dollars, it's the least you can do

Christian Bale's Batman voice was laughably bad.

He was talking about his voice in Little Women.
