- Title
Let Us Now Praise Famous Men -- Or Not.
- Authors
Millman, Noah
- Abstract
The article provides a critical analysis of several high-profile films released in 2023. It highlights the shortcomings of films such as "Napoleon," "Ferrari," and "Maestro" in effectively portraying their respective subjects. The author argues that these films fail to capture the depth and significance of figures like Napoleon Bonaparte, the love of racing in Ferrari, and Leonard Bernstein's impact on music in "Maestro." The article also mentions Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," criticizing its focus on a small-time thug rather than the investigators or victims of the Osage Indian murders. However, the author praises "Oppenbeimer" for its exploration of greatness and history, while finding an unnamed film about Ernest Burkhart uninteresting and incomprehensible.
