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
So, anon lies for attention?
Yes, and water is wet
Although I like a myth of him saying he’s ready to cut people’s legs in order to stand face to face.
Watched the movie a few days ago and didn’t catch anything about his height
The one thing I read was something about him having to stand on a box to look at a mummy, but I haven’t seen the movie and I’m just summarizing a one redditor’s summary
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!
From what i heard, the movie is in fact garbage.
Well that sucks. I was looking forward to it.
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.
Wasn’t it because that he recruit even taller folks to be his guards. So that caused people to assume that he was short.
That’s quite possible, selecting troops for height for prestigious roles is nothing new.
Supposedly the guards roles were grenadiers and they were typically taller than average
Nelson was shorter
This just in: It’s woke to make fun of people for their height.
The way people use the word, I feel like it’s not crazy to have woke as a synonym for “something I hate” coming from someone using it as a derogatory term
That is exactly what it means, another empty rghtwing catchall term like PC and sjw, and it says a lot about you that you are using the term at all (and nothing at all about the people you are using it derogatorily against).
… I use the word?
That’s what it means. Ask anyone who uses it unironically to define it.
Woke is anyone that’s trying to be sensitive towards, or at least aware of, the feelings and attitudes of any group I don’t immediately identify and sympathize with.
…
Damnit, I’m using ironically, aren’t I?
Woke is when… LiBeRuL snOwFlAkEs!!!
Hyberbole is often employed for humorous effect
“People make fun short people and will never be seen as a leader.”
Meanwhile, Joseph Stalin is 5’5" and earned him fame and infamy and still worshipped by idiots to this day. I have seen in Reddit reasoned as to why De Santis puts on high heels is because people are shallow and don’t take kindly to short folks. Well, i think it’s not true and so long you have what i call “force of personality”, the short height will be offset. I don’t mean to make Stalin the shining model of humanity, but I’m sure he charmed and manipulated his way to the top regardless of his stature.
If your short be more like Stalin, got it.
Stalin was about average height for the time he grew up in. Especially as a prole.
When people discuss this topic, everyone always seems to forget the sudden rush of nutritious additives and overall larger yields that humanity was able to incorporate into its diet starting around the atomic age.
There was a massive growth spike because of this. People who were taller than 170-175cm were very rare prior.
It’s funny when short people try to hide it, like DeSantis. It isn’t funny that he’s short. It’s funny that he (and his constituents probably) are so obsessed with not being short that he has those stupid looking heals. As far as I’m aware, Stalin wasn’t worried about his height. Also, I think Napoleon I was (or at least our common meme of him is).
I really doubt that Ridley Scott would stoop this low, but I wanted to say that a lot of people are dumb as fuck and will laugh and cheer at anything if the movie tells them to laugh and cheer because a lot of people are like cattle.
Besides Napoleon was average height for someone who’s not nobility for his era
What short temper anon has.
Even though this is “totally true and real”, people who cheer in movies are the absolute bottom of the barrel of IQ
Even though I’d probably also be pretty annoyed if I ever heard someone cheering in a movie, people who think IQ is some real-life INT stat are not as clever as they think they are
Especially when they conflate laughing at a dumb joke with cheering

No way, it makes the whole experience so much fun
I don’t get it. Wouldn’t mocking short people be the opposite of woke?
The french are people now?
Wouldn’t go that far.
Bait so tasty that it gets nibbled even on other sites.
I assumed this was a Star Wars reference
How little of him to get so upset at a movie.
Huh?
Likely a little short for a stormtrooper too.
