** This might be the first movie ever to have Napoleon and have zero mention about his height (or lack thereof). Napoleon being short is a long debunked myth, he was 5' 7". Normal height by today's standards, and slightly taller than average at the time. There is a subtle reference to it when the British sniper is watching him through his scope. Napoleon often surrounded himself with unusually tall guards for just that reason which made him look short by comparison. The British then used that as propaganda, and a tired cliche was born.....

That the movie ignores French atrocities is something that actual film critics and historians have brought up

* TheCoup: The Coup of 18 Brumaire, Year VIII (November 9th 1799) is the event that enables Napoleon's rise to power. When Napoleon comes back from Egypt, it’s clear to him and to everybody that the five-man Directory in charge of the republic is bungling both the wars and the economy. One of the directors, Sieyes, approaches Napoleon and asks him to participate in a plot to replace the Directory with a three-man Consulate that will consist of Sieyes, Napoleon, and Roger Ducos (another director). 18th Brumaire goes smoothly, with director Barras resigning under pressure while the Jacobin directors Gohier and Moulin are arrested when they resist. The day after goes considerably rougher: the deputies of the Council of Five Hundred are outraged at the coup and physically assault Napoleon when he tries to intimidate them into silence, forcing him to desperately flee the chamber and return only when he and Lucien have summoned a large number of soldiers.
