Being Napoleon is a historical documentary centered on the large-scale reenactment of the Battle of Waterloo. The film prioritizes spectacle and the reconstruction of 19th-century military maneuvers over contemporary social deconstruction. Because the subject matter is rooted in the Napoleonic era, the narrative is inherently shaped by the period's traditional masculine and Eurocentric structures. The focus remains on the clash between Napoleon and Wellington, which limits the scope for diverse perspectives. Ultimately, the film serves as a preservation of established Western military history, without attempting to subvert social hierarchies or introduce new narratives.
