I watched this movie with mixed emotions but when by the end I saw list of how many people been killed during Napoleonic wars I been perplexed: why this director made movie about person he hates? Sure enough famous Brit paid back to rival France by depicting their Genius as a bloodthirsty cuckold. Knighthood doesn't give him right to cross out not only Napoleon military geniality bur the fact that his major creation was Napoleonic Code what was most democratic civil code in Europe and become a template for civil codes in countries all around the world. When you raise hand on figure like Napoleon you will get slap in the face what American public did base on reviews on this page.
