This movie is not or nowhere near an accurate understanding of history regarding Napolean. Putting that aside, I believe the acting was fantastic and real. It made Napolean become just another normal / real human being. If this movie was approached as a series style like the Band of Brothers or the Pacific, I believe it would be hard to surpass. At a time now where we have a rise in the Right Wing, we definitely need to deglorify people in authority and this movie opens that door to a mirror of reflection humanity often needs.
