This just in: It’s woke to make fun of people for their height.
In case anyone is wondering, there isn’t actually a line like that in the movie. Apparently it does perpetuate the myth that he was short, but there’s never an explicit spoken reference to his height
Watched the movie a few days ago and didn’t catch anything about his height
He was actually taller than average for the time, it must have been a garbage movie if they got that wrong.
British propaganda is best propaganda have you seen how real Nelson is in Trafalgar!
Wasn’t it because that he recruit even taller folks to be his guards. So that caused people to assume that he was short.
Supposedly the guards roles were grenadiers and they were typically taller than average
From what i heard, the movie is in fact garbage.
Unfortunately, that is true. The only facts the movie gets right, are the dates it quotes. I understand artistic leeway, but then at least make it entertaining, but the movie fails at that as well. The movie is incoherent, maddeningly inaccurate historically and, even though I really like Joaquin Phoenix as an actor, an absolutely terrible portrayal of the person Napoleon was. Phoenix portrays him as if he was mocking the character, making him into some autistic wizzkid who is socially incredibly awkward.
Even though this is “totally true and real”, people who cheer in movies are the absolute bottom of the barrel of IQ
