Movie insights

Napoleon (2023), film directed by Ridley Scott, reveals, by means of centralized ambience, insights from the Concierguerie, historical Prison and institution, the  opening scene portraying artistic details of the daughter of the Austrian Emperor and Queen of France, Marie Antoinette.

 

Focused scene visual aids, centralized attention of beauty: neck and pale skin displayed artistic and symbolic foreshadowing of Head of State’s agenda, Napoleon, the Emperor of France’s sovereign state after the end of Monarchic Reign.

 

Even though the cease of Monarchy’s  Reign was not related to a direct Emperor action, the early bureaucracy of young bourgeois, class elevation of dispute, the development of Napoleon, interpreted by Joaquin Phoenix, brings into focus the agenda established between the building of the Head of State and figures of interest such as the anglo-saxon diplomatic service and representative of the sovereign State of France and other historical archives in correspondence with Alexandre I of Russia.

 

Albeit Napoleon’s wife, Joséphine’s devoted and distinguished role as the romantic ‘compagnon’ and life partner, interpreted by Vanessa Kirby, was surveilled by aristocrats and bad press, the diplomatic ‘Rendez Vous’ avec les anglais, developed the act of ‘bavarder’ as one the Emperors struggle’s despite the fact the correspondence between press and romantic threats that were of incidence during Napoleon’s trip to Egypt.

 

Even though the Emperor’s military accomplishments were leitmotiv to consider the ‘République’ as a foreign and domestic concept after Monarchic Reign, successful due to the ‘détente’ of conflict to avoid the destruction of the Treasures of Humanity, the diplomatic tie with the English before retreating was an asset to avoid further conflict with Land Owners.

 

Napoleon’s visit to white collar figures and post hoc romantic affairs were not considered a hazard to eternal ties with Joséphine and the new vie de la République albeit the not written loyalty to French Reign before the leader’s departure to St. Heléne (1815).
