Napoléon vu par Abel Gance (1927)
See this film instead.
Do not waste your time, money, or effort watching the 2024 film. Even the trailer screams "miss me" in spite of Joaquin Phoenix portraying the title character and Ridley Scott directing that obscene mess.
This is Abel Gance's masterpiece of history telling and film editing. It shows nothing lacking historical evidence or educational value, unlike the 2024 film, which obviously seeks to gain the "most paused moment" prize. Those moments are not the battle scenes.
Watch this silent film and learn some real history lessons about the French Emperor AND film editing, since the three-screen triptych ending predated Cinerama by almost 30 years.
This film needed nothing obscene and depicted battles in the 1700s very accurately.
Idiocracy (2006)
Idiocracy is becoming a documentary.
Just watch how people in 2020 appear and behave.
People of Walmart have nothing on what walks into a local convenience store and gas station at night.
Worse yet, the son of a prominent local realtor walks past me in a local park and tells me that a monument is dedicated to local soldiers who died in the Civil War, when I could clearly read that on the monument myself.
Yes, Idiocracy is fast becoming a documentary, with neurological impairment caused by vaccines set aside. The gene pool is narrowing and in a drought.
Brigham Young (1940)
What a Hollyweird LIE.
This movie does not tell why Joseph Smith was found guilty of high crimes such as adultery in polygamy, securities fraud, occult and magick practices, or burning down the Nauvoo Expositor, which threatened to expose the crimes committed by Smith, Young, and other LDS leaders.
This movie also does not tell about someone sneaking a pistol to Joseph Smith in Carthage jail, much less share that he shot and killed 2 or 3 men in the gunfight there in which he was killed.
This movie also does not tell of the doctrine of Blood Atonement, the "avenging angels," the Danites, or the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
This movie also shows Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and other LDS leaders as Scripture quoting, Constitution spouting pioneers and religious heroes.
This movie does not show about how thousands of Mormons walked on foot, pulling mini wagons by hand.
What this movie does is hopefully inspire people to read true Mormon history such as Bruce R. McConkie's "History of the Church" or the late Dr. Walter Martin's "The Maze of Mormonism."
Finally, I never hated Mormons in all my life. I hate that they, as average decent people, have been deceived by their church leaders into damnable heresies and confabulations, especially saying that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers, and that God was a man like me before His father exalted Him.
Don't believe the hype. Believe the truth instead.
