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.

Napoleon is turned into an impotent clown with a powerful wife who has all the brains just like every other thing put on film in the last ten years and you don't find anything woke about that? Is that you, Mr. Magoo?
