"Ridley Scott's Controversial Remarks on 'Napoleon' Sparks Outrage in France"
Director Ridley Scott has responded dismissively to French critics who have slammed his latest film, "Napoleon," for its perceived anti-French and pro-British perspective. Scott defended his movie, stating that the French audience he showed it to in Paris loved it. The film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon, has faced criticism from French historians before, particularly for comparing Napoleon to despots like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Scott has brushed off criticism of historical inaccuracies, challenging critics by asking if they were present during the events depicted in the film.
