Napoleon (2000)
More interesting for what's missing than included

Pretty biased account of the life of Napoleon focusing on his achievements which were impressive but totally ignoring so much of the harm and hurt he caused to his own people and the countries he plundered. The narrator is clearly a fan but some balance is needed and the full story told.
Unfortunately with such a one sided account it loses a lot of impact and comes across as dishonest making you question what you're actually told.
The man was a dictator and just like Hitler had a "Napoleon" complex, named such for a reason.
It's also long and repetitive, a one or at a stretch 2 one hour specials would have been enough, if the somewhat creepy defence of this dictator was tempered.
