All these directors should have retired 20 years ago. Now woke infects everything they do and turns it into crap.
Not only that, the pathological lying of Hollywood renders nearly all historically based films fatally flawed as soon as the script is written.
They take truly interesting history and invert it into whatever utterly predictable trope that is currently trending.
There was no ahistorical woke in this one that I could see. Josephine was what she was, and IMHO quite well written in this. This is no feminist screed.
There was one black guy acting as one of Napoleons generals in a few scenes. There was an actual black guy among Naps Generals, Gen Dumas (yes, the daddy of Alexandre “Three Musketeers” Dumas). He did have a substantial role as a Napoleon partisan in his rise to power, so legit. There were also a couple of mulatto servants of Josephine’s, which is also fair, as she was from Martinique.
The only big name I trust is Tom Cruise. He's using the same formula and it's still working. He seems to be immune to the woke virus (in making decent movies).
