Headline: Ridley Scott slams historians over Napoleon criticism
Caption: The Gladiator director's new film about the conquest-loving French Emperor is out in cinemas later this month, but trailers have shown scenes that have raised historians' eyebrows. In particular, TV historian Dan Snow, called out some of the inaccuracies in a viral TikTok post, including that Napoleon did not shoot at the Pyramids while fighting in Egypt. Nor did Marie Antoinette have long hair when she was executed. In response, Scott told the New Yorker that his critics should, "Get a Life".
