I heard the same thing. I went because my wife is a huge Joaquin Phoenix fan. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I guess it's good going in with low expectations. Too much of the whole Josephine love story. It was fairly historically accurate. After a lifetime of watching battle scenes, they can get boring. Very little explanation of his rise to power and fame.
I've always been surprised that the French Revolution is not all over the btc mythos. Although I guess it's more nuanced than many people can tolerate, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Do you have any good recommendations for learning about the French Revolution? I know the basics, but I would like to go deeper.

Well, looks like I won't be getting any work done for a while.

Aren't you retired, buddy?

Well, I'm retired from practicing law but I still manage commercial real estate. I think I'd lose my mind not having something to give me my daily dose of anxiety.

Damn! I'm into Roman history so of course I listened to his history of Rome series. It was very good, but I never checked this revolutions thing out. Small world, or nerds think alike?
