Despite their advanced age—80 for Martin Scorsese and almost 86 for Ridley Scott—both directors don't appear to be slowing down. Actually, their films have gotten longer, more expensive, and more ambitious than ever in recent years. The most recent instance is Scott's 160-minute biography of the French military leader and emperor, Napoleon, which traverses multiple nations and eras and features numerous intense combat sequences throughout.
As a result, at least $70 million USD is being projected for Ridley Scott's Napoleon's worldwide premiere.
News reports indicate that the Joaquin Phoenix-led film has amassed around $21 million USD by November 23 and is expected to launch with an opening ranging between $70 million USD and $73 million USD over its initial five-day global run, with an estimated $40 million USD from international markets. After its first two days, the movie grossed $8.9 million USD and is currently available in over 40 markets.
It's a fantastic achievement, but it may cause you to regard Scott's leadership qualities as higher than Napoleon's.
Leading directors are drawn to Napoleon Bonaparte's biography because it is easy to understand: despite overwhelming obstacles, he rose from obscurity to gather a sizable number of people and resources to accomplish his ambition. By distilling the Napoleonic story to its essential elements—massive military conflicts, exciting set pieces, and, above all, the nuanced, intense bond between Napoleon and his first wife Joséphine—Scott has attempted to address the story's expansive scope.
The film "Napoleon," directed by Ridley Scott, offers an unusual interpretation of the historical character, painting him as a complex and paradoxical individual. The "addictive and volatile relationship" Napoleon Bonaparte had with Empress Joséphine serves as the backdrop for this epic historical drama, which chronicles his ascent from military commander to Emperor.
The film's title character, played by Joaquin Phoenix, depicts Napoleon's ascent in France following the revolution and contrasts his accomplishments with psychological agony, particularly in his relationship with Josephine.
Among the actors that join Phoenix in the cast are Tahar Rahim as Paul Barras, Vanessa Kirby as Empress Joséphine, Ben Miles as Armand-Augustin-Louis de Caulaincourt, and Matthew Needham as Lucien Bonaparte.

Kirby and Phoenix have some intense and skillful scenes that show their intricate power struggle. Scott's signature large-scale spectacles are balanced throughout the movie with an examination of Napoleon's flaws, immaturity, and vulnerability on an emotional level. Napoleon's life is seen through a sarcastic prism that highlights both his admirable and dubious qualities. The representation relies heavily on absurdity and ambiguity, which gives Phoenix's performance a shaky dynamism.
The film shows bleak and sadistic violence, echoing a fight waged for dubious reasons, despite omitting some historical aspects. Although grandiose and expansive, Scott's direction explores the specifics of combat, particularly in private exchanges, capturing Napoleon's innate tendencies. The film presents a crazy, provocative, and ultimately enthralling portrayal of a historical figure. And despite its campiness, it is fascinating because of its unique approach.
