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?
“impotent clown”?
The guy who pushed aside the Pope and crowned himself?
Thats not the movie I saw. Napoleon had complex, sometimes bizarre motivations, and often inexplicable judgment, some of which can be due to his relationship with Josephine, and insufficiently stressed here, his mother.
The movie makes a huge deal of his dumping Josephine, which certainly didnt make her happy. This is made out to be a nasty series of humiliations for her - culminating in the scene of the signing of the annulment, a painful, awkward power play. The entire grey theme of her exile at Malmaison, which Napoleon only rarely deigns to visit, makes a clear point. She’s done, passe.
This leaves Napoleon feeling guilty, as he indeed was, but hey, raisons d’etat.
