Quotes:
Napoléon:
Excuse this dreadful mud, Holy Father, but it's been raining so much lately.
Pope Pius VII: I've always wondered if the Pope, like his Divine Master, could walk on water. I cannot, evidently. But I do have other powers.
Napoléon: Such as crowning me Emperor?
Pope Pius VII: Yes, but also marrying you.
Napoléon: Marrying me? But I am married!
Pope Pius VII: During our long and tedious journey, one of my Cardinals told me that you and the future Empress have not been united before God.
Napoléon: Well, that may be true, but our civil marriage is no less valid.
Pope Pius VII: To me, it is meaningless. But rest assured, I shall be delighted to bless your union before God.
Napoléon: I have no intention of getting married a second time.
Pope Pius VII: Well, unfortunately, I cannot crown a man Emperor, who is living in a state of Sin.

Well I watched the second episode and I recorded the 3rd and the 4th ones, and I was just blown away. I mean, I think, even though many will think that I'm crazy, that this is one of the best movies ever made, even better than band of brothers. Maybe some of the actors have slight flaws, but Christian Clavier is nothing less than excellent as the Emperor. Some points may not be accurate but the rest is so good it forgives some bad performances and unnecessary moments. The soundtrack is as well excellent, and fits perfectly with the movie. Isabella Rosselini wasn't all that great, but Heino Ferch as Calaincourt was excellent, playing some sort of a smart guy that at times could be a bit naive. I loved this and Clavier's performance was great, what is that site of yours dude?
