Is there a tv-series about Napoleon Bonaparte in the style of shows like "Rome" or "The Borgias"?
Or about the french revolution in general?
well, that is disappointing
There will be. There will be...
>>67629486
Err not that I know of, however, War and Peace featured Napoleon a few times. It's a good mini series.
answer is no unfortunately OP
>>67629486
No, because there is no God.
The closest we have is the 4 part drama.
Theres Sharpes Rifles and Hornblower, but they are from the British side, and are basically the two main characters have no flaws and are always right. Still watchable.
>>67629486
"Hey Jay what did you think of... The asshole that stabbed ,e"
>>67630951
>the two main characters have no flaws and are always righ
Fuck off, Sharpe is a commsuately flawed character, that's his whole thing. He rarely gets the girl, and they usually dump him for a richer man. He gets fucked over time and again by people who are smarter than him. He deals with constant frustrations and difficulties in a human way, and finishes the story basically right back where he started.
I really don't get how there isn't a french revolution/ napoleonic war series.
It's literally the best material for an epic show with fantastic characters:
Robespierre and the Jakobins
Tallyrand
Fucking Napoleon Bonaparte and family and girls
Russeau
Alexander I
the Habsburgs
>>67629486
yep.. but its a sequel.
>>67631173
It's funny, in literature Napoleon has several tens if not hundreds of books published about him every year. He's literally top 3 in publishing with Jesus and Caesar. But in movies or tv? Next to nothing.
>>67631216
what is it called?
Not enough diversity to represent a modern, more inclusive France.
>>67631359
thank Waterloo for that
>>67631444
britbongs still pissed off about napoleon?
>>67631455
no the film
no one enjoys watching losers
>>67629486
The French Revolution went full circle, hence the term, ''revolution'' Nothing was accomplished.
>>67631398
>history isn't politically correct so we can't make a film about it
The closest thing I know of is the BBC Heroes & Villains series. It has an episode about Napoleon
>>67631478
Oh, I thought you ment no material is being filmed because people are still angry at france for buttfucking europe in the napoleonic war.
Like how hollywood doesn't do HP Lovecraft movies, because he was an utter racist and antisemite
>>67631491
>Nothing was accomplished.
lol
>>67629486
The 1927 Napoleon film made all other works about him in cinema instantly and forever irrelevant. It's miniseries length anyway. Watch that.
>>67631531
yeah realized that, but nah waterloo was a big budget film that completely flopped
reason kubrick never made a napoleon film too
>>67631173
And yet people are praising GoT for how realistic it is. Only proves that the society consists only of imbeciles not aware of history. There is so much source material that not only would make an entertaining show but would also provide some insight into how life was hundreds of years ago.
>>67629486
There's little renaissance /tv/ in general as that era is expensive as fuck to portray properly. It doesn't help that not many people are interested in the period either because most find line infantry warfare boring.
First season:
French Monarchy, with Louis the 16th
Second season:
French revolution, Robespierre etc
Third season:
Rise of Napoleon
Fourth season:
Napoleonic wars

So much this.
Most people don't even know who Robespierre or Fouche were but can tell you all about Theon Greyjoys dick.
>1759 + 257
>Still no adaptation of Candide
Is it because Voltaire is too problematic for today's cuck mentality?
>>67631566
>society consists only of imbeciles
2 Shows came to mind. european productions. each ca. 6h long. one from 1989 about the revolution and the other from 2002 about Napoleon.

>>67631536
Napoleon lied, people died.
>>67631531
Well I do think part of the reason there isn't much in the way of Napoleon in English language film is because of the Brits constantly pushing the idea that he was "the bad guy".
There plenty of stuff made by the French, but not many if any massive epics.
>>67631566
you're such a fedora, you happen to have an interest in history stop pretending that makes you better than anyone
>>67631784

>not celebrating him for giving europe the napoleonic code which is still the basis of european law and gives people equal rights
>>67631875
Not his fault britbongs are cucks and declared war multiple times cause they didn't want to lose power taking 7 coalitions of the world to bring him down while they just wanted to bring about enlightenment.
>>67631986
kek
would still watch it tho
europes history stops at ww2. it was just a peaceful place until then. movies dont want you to forget.
>>67631971
That de Sade movie was alright. Not sure how close to reality it was though
>>67630951
I haven't seen Hornblower so I can't make a call on that but Sharpe has tonnes of flaws. He's an asshole, he's vindictive and petty and a mercenary. The only reason he wins at the end of the day is because fighting is what he's good at.
>>67632048
If you mean Quills then it's inaccurate as fuck, but Geoffrey Rush made a great De Sade
>>67631994
Exactly why the Brits hate him. The last thing they want is a Frenchman being responsible for all that and getting all the praise
>>67630898
Was going to suggest the same. It was really good.
>>67632108
The french revolution broke the social barriers and made it possible that Napoleon, a lowly corsican boy could become emperor of france.
He didn't forget that when he wrote the napoleonic code.
Yet brittain still has the worst two class sosciety in europe. They still have the monarchy ffs
>>67631986
anon, that dude had more fun in his prison cell than most of us combined. Prison before the french revolution wasn't like you know it. He was rich, he had a bed, a spacious "cell", a cook, guests, whores, entertainment.
>>67631994
not just europe, american law is based on the same principals
>>67629486
best cast for napoleon?
>>67632256
>He was rich, he had a bed, a spacious "cell", a cook, guests, whores, entertainment.
Yes I know, I've read a very good bio on him once. At the end in Charenton he was fucking a laundry girl young enough to be his granddaughter (the loose inspiration for Kate Winslet's character in Quills). But all he wanted was his freedom, and that was his ultimate torture. He was utterly at the mercy of authority, the one thing he truly detested.
>>67632193
>They still have the monarchy ffs
so does sweden and swedens basically communist
There's a project on HBO with Kubrick screenplay and produced by Spielberg but I wouldn't believe in it. It was announced like 2 years ago and no new since then
>>67629486
>>67632322
Rome sucked
>>67632322
Kevin Spacey as Napoleon
Kate Beckinsale as Josephine
Daniel Craig as Ney
John Malkovich as Fouche
William Fichtner as Talleyrand
Toby Stephens as Berthier
Judi Dench as Leitizia Bonaparte
Stephen Dillane as Joseph Bonaparte
Toni Collette as Caroline Bonaparte
Alexandra Daddario as Pauline Bonaparte
Evan Rachel Wood as Marie-Louise
James Purefoy as Murat
>>67632362

go away stalin
>>67632397
>it's not from Sharpe's Enemy
What the fuck are you talking about, yes it is, I made the damn thing.
>>67632413
Would go Eddy Marson as Fouche
>>67632467
or Michael Emerson
>>67632413
you thought about that for some time, didn't you?
>>67632413
>Daniel Craig as Ney
Nice I would watch Craig leading insane cavalry charges
tfw he literally inventet terror
also which actor to play him?
>>67631578
>no renaissance in /tv/
>what is the borgias
>>67631359
People are probably afraid to fuck it up. It's a really intricate part of history. But it has the potential to be an absolute fantastic series.
>>67632658
Actually this time I would have to say Eddie Marsan, his Gilbert Norrell was a pretty good dress rehersal
In the 1989 epic miniseries they made in France, La Révolution française, he was brilliantly played by Andrzej Seweryn
>>67632754
See, I get more of a Fouche vibe than Robespierre from that.
But you are not wrong.
>>67632787
no
>>67632834
not casting him
>>67632754
Didn't know about that, gonna watch it now. Is there a dubbed/subbed version?

A proper French Revolution/Napoleon show would have to be shot in French. No way that will ever happen, French studios don't have the money and anglos can't read subtitles.
>>67633324
>Prussian campaign
>French speak pure Britbong
it'd actually work well enough
>>67633198
Napoleon is the same height as Putin

Fouche was never beheaded by the Terror
But Sean Penn might be
>>67629486
actually there is,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETKnNfvgyus
>>67634407
Fouche was smarter than everyone, of course he wasn't beheaded
>>67634355
that height was above average in france back then.

Britain is much more obsessed and fascinated with Napoleon than France
There was literally a childrens good night song in britain at the thime, that had a last line that went something like:
And now be silent and sleep or Napoleon is going to come and kill you.
>>67629486
>>67631585
if any filmmakers are lurking, pls make this happen!
>>67632193
He was a member of the Corsican nobility. Also killing all of the ruling elite so nobodies could be promoted doesn't sound so great to me.
>>67634642
kek
>>67634551
Still is but only in france
>>67635932
corsican nobility wasn't worth a shit in monarchist france. Impossible to climb up the social ladder if you weren't born french.

Proxy wars are the future.
With both blocs too afraid of a direct confrontation, we'll end up funneling meat in to the grinder in some third world shithole.
We just need a bigger conflict, a draft, and then cinemá will finally be back were it belongs; in the hands of patricians and intellectuals.
The only problem is that capeshit fans consist of mostly overweight, neckbearded virgins, so getting them in to the army would be a nightmare.

I HAVE AN IDEA SOMEBODY FUND IT
Series about the French revolution and the Napoleonic wars but told through the eyes of neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David
>>67637838
>>67637862
>The scene is a pre-French Revolution Bastille, where various political prisoners are being held: a woman who was raped and impregnated by the king, a police chief who was accused of selling bad pork, and the Marquis, who was unjustly accused of working for the overthrow of the king. The Marquis is only interested in writing his deviant stories, while his penis yearns for a little action (they argue about this frequently), the prime candidate being the jailer who likes to be buggered. The corrupt priest arranges to have the pregnant woman raped by the Marquis so they can claim the king had nothing to do with it. The priest also steals the Marquis' manuscripts and publishes them for his own profit. Things come to a head as the people rise up against the tyranny.
>>67638338

I beg to differ
>>67629486
no because he's a fat ugly manlet and isn't sexy like Cesare Borgia
Jews love Napoleon. He wanted to reestablish an Israelite state and abolished the discriminatory Pale of Settlement in Poland
It's the Eternal Anglo's and Vatican's propaganda against him that keeps a major movie/mini-series from being made
Because of this propaganda people don't realize that Napoleon was a revolutionary and national liberation leader, fighting for the downtrodden of Europe at the time (Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, women, etc.) and retards actually equate him to Hitler or Stalin.
>>67639224
this is what we get for dragging /x/ into this
>>67639201
that can't be true.
Napoleon is such a fantastic Character that people literally go crazy imagening they are him
>>67639224
what did I just read?
>>67639201
So that guy from breaking bad was sexy?
Have you not seen Napoleon (1927)? There's no need to watch anything else
The Black Book is great movie set during the reign of terror, high recommendations there
>>67643227
Yeah, but it's just the first part of an unfinished project and doesn't cover everything.
