Watching the recent Napoleon movie was painful, but I’ve finally gotten around to reviewing it. Director Ridley Scott seems to be really hit-or-miss. I really liked the Last Duel. This time is not just a failure, a ridiculously botched opportunity. Napoleon himself is one of the most influential people ever, and possibly the most influential person in modern history and it should be extraordinarily easy to make a compelling story about him. In fact, there’s really too much to talk about, which may be the movie’s ultimate blunder, rendering it a disorganized mess without enough compelling plot to drag the reluctant viewer along. In order to understand that, let’s briefly cover Napoleon’s biography, for truth is so much more fascinating than what artistic license could ever replace.

For about half a year, Emperor Tigerstar and I have been watching and reacting to decades of propaganda videos. The craziest attempt at history we'd watched in this series was the 2016 documentary, Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. This separate video was not only warranted because of the movie’s hilariously inept attempt at “history” or the sheer amount of dishonesty it contains, but its current usage for denying history. In a way, this episode is kinda a debunk, but it's also an exploration of the documentary’s artistic value and the director’s strange obsessions. Dinesh D’Souza seems to believe his own disinformation and he’s managed to persuade enough lunatics into denying the party switch that it’s a real menace. I've put some care into editing it down and adding some entertainment.

Wiki: Killers of the Flower Moon[a] is a 2023 American epic Western crime drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Martin Scorsese. Eric Roth and Scorsese based their screenplay on the 2017 non-fiction book by David Grann.[7][8] Set in 1920s Oklahoma, it focuses on a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was discovered on tribal land. The tribal members had retained mineral rights on their reservation, but a corrupt local political boss sought to steal the wealth. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone lead an ensemble cast. Hashtags: #history #killersoftheflowermoon #OsageMurders #review #basedonatruestory

Wiki: The Armenian genocide was the systematic destruction of the Armenian people and identity in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Spearheaded by the ruling Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), it was implemented primarily through the mass murder of around one million Armenians during death marches to the Syrian Desert and the forced Islamization of others, primarily women and children.

Wiki: A moral panic is a widespread feeling of fear, often an irrational one, that some evil person or thing threatens the values, interests, or well-being of a community or society. It is "the process of arousing social concern over an issue", usually perpetuated by moral entrepreneurs and mass media coverage, and exacerbated by politicians and lawmakers. Moral panic can give rise to new laws aimed at controlling the community.

And you know who’s to blame for that? It’s these scholars injecting identity politics into everything. If history is the story of us, as Cypher always says, then why do I have to hear about all these unamerican things like race, class, and gender? What happened to our heroes? Well, I’ll tell you. History is woke now. It has nothing to do with my unwillingness to interrogate what actually happened. That’s why I don’t need citations. Verifiability is for the weak. The wokesters are the real cowards for using Critical Race Theory to make me feel bad about being white. They try to push their betters away by enforcing diversity, equity, and inclusion on everyone.

Wiki: Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical drama film[5][6][7] written for the screen and directed by Christopher Nolan.[8] It stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project—the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film chronicles the career of Oppenheimer, with the story predominantly focusing on his studies, his direction of the Manhattan Project during World War II, and his eventual fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing. The film also stars Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife "Kitty", Matt Damon as head of the Manhattan Project Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as United States Atomic Energy Commission member Lewis Strauss, and Florence Pugh as Oppenheimer's communist lover Jean Tatlock. The ensemble supporting cast includes Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

There is no clear starting point. One could say that the war began with the first American death in 1945, when Viet Minh forces mistakenly shot an OSS officer after WWII had ended; or you could say it was 1950, when President Truman officially supported the old regime that would become South Vietnam; there was 1955, when President Eisenhower sent in military advisors; 1962 with JFK sending Green Berets in massive numbers; or 1964 with LBJ ramping up the already established mission to full-scale warfare. The beginning of American involvement in the Vietnam War could be any of those dates and more. If you let a camel stick its nose under the tent, eventually it will insist on being completely within the tent. America is the camel here. We stuck our nose in, and bit by bit, we became fully entangled. It took so much blood and treasure there and here to dislodge ourselves again, forever changing not just American and Vietnamese history, but how the world arranged power.

Wiki: United States involvement in the Vietnam War began shortly after the end of World War II in Asia, first in an extremely limited capacity and escalating over a period of 20 years. The U.S. military presence peaked in April 1969, with 543,000 American combat troops stationed in Vietnam.[1] By the conclusion of the United States's involvement in 1973, over 3.1 million Americans had been stationed in Vietnam.

Wiki: The Sixty Years' War (French: Guerre de Soixante Ans; 1754–1815) was a military struggle for control of the North American Great Lakes region, including Lake Champlain and Lake George,[1] encompassing a number of wars over multiple generations. The conflicts involved the British Empire, the French colonial empire, the United States, the Spanish Empire, and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The term Sixty Years' War is used by academic historians to provide a framework for viewing this era as a whole, rather than as isolated events

Race is not as simple as epidural coloration or any phenotype for that matter. These racial borders are easily crossed and don’t even precisely map onto skintone nor anything deeper. Afterall, I do not become a different race by getting a good tan. Race is not biologically derived and indeed has a history to its social construction. Racialization is a distinct historical process. It has a story to it with consequences. This episode is ultimately about how race became a thing, as in how society constructed the ideology behind this abstract category

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 – 1821) was a French military commander and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. He was the leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804, then of the French Empire as Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and briefly again in 1815. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy endures as a celebrated and controversial leader. He initiated many liberal reforms that have persisted through the years, and is considered one of the greatest military commanders in history

Race, class, and gender studies came to dominate the field. Much of revisionism is about raising the voices of historical characters previously silenced by nationalist history. Nationalism violently imposed racism, exploitation, and misogyny. Historicizing the meaning of those who were hegemonic within orthodoxy, namely white cis heterosexual males who were rich, challenged that violent nationalism

The Trial of the Chicago Seven had so much potential. The court transcript is replete with drama and easy to adapt, yet this movie fails at it. I don’t know what went wrong here, but it was a tremendous let down. I’ve been trying to focus on good movies, but my patrons voted for this on Patreon, so I slogged through it. Honestly, I wish I could have just thrown it aside. When a 1987 made-for-TV movie outdoes this well-funded production, you know something is a-miss. The true story is very compelling, because the ten people on the defense team became martyrs for freedom of speech as a result of this trial. The Nixon administration tried to silence protestors and they went to prison for it, like patriots. They turned the court into a circus because there was no other way to redress their grievances, showing what civil disobedience looks like.

Wiki: The Chicago Seven, originally the Chicago Eight and also known as the Conspiracy Eight or Conspiracy Seven, were seven defendants - Rennie Davis, David Dellinger, John Froines, Tom Hayden, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and Lee Weiner - charged by the United States Department of Justice with conspiracy, crossing state lines with intent to incite a riot, and other charges related to anti-Vietnam War and 1960s counterculture protests in Chicago, Illinois during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The Chicago Eight became the Chicago Seven after the case against co-defendant Bobby Seale was declared a mistrial.

Silicon Valley is not a clearly defined place. It could be just Palo Alto or as far away as the rest of the southern Bay Area, from Berkeley all the way around to San Francisco. The main thing is that the region is the center of the technological renaissance in microchip and internet innovation. Its postwar ascension came from government investment and eventually venture capital as technology revolutionized our world.

San Luis Obispo, or SLO for short, is a small city near and dear to my heart, not only because it's one of my hometowns, but because I've done so much work on the history here. After all, my dissertation has a chapter on it and my entire masters thesis is about the place. And it goes much deeper than that, for my father was a museum director here. You could say SLO's history is in my veins.

Wiki: Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (/ˈroʊzəvɛlt/ ROH-zə-velt;[b] October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919), often referred to as Teddy or by his initials, T. R., was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies.

Museums are an important and oft forgotten part of the history profession. These institutions are key factors in how locales understand and interpret their own existence. There are huge responsibilities that come with that public service. Museum work is a noble task, worthy of praise, but that cannot blind us to the problems that arise from taking on that goal. Some abuse that in favor of affirming their core biases and it takes a keen eye to find it. The Alamo and Nixon Library are fairly good examples of this problem which teaches us something deeper about how history is written. Along the way, perhaps you can learn about what museums do and why they are an integral part of society.
