Napoleon: Destiny and Death

"Which man would not want to be stabbed with daggers so that he would be Caesar before that...?" The feeling of being chosen, irrationality, playing dice with fate and fear only of a death which would not look historically good for a soldier who hates politics. Patterns of the rise and fall of great emperors, who feed predestination with propaganda and propaganda with predestination, are unchanging. Considering the year of creation, it is interesting that the animated Napoleon resembles Joaquin Phoenix during the battle of Arcole bridge and in some images dust motes and flakes flutter, just as a certain British director stubbornly refusing retirement likes it.
