      This is not a movie review

      I am completely fascinated by the tone of the silent film. The Marseilles really make people cry. When I watch the enchantress of the Warring States Period, I wonder how Italy came. It turned out that the Italian flag used to have the same color as the French flag. Now this version of the flag is the original one. The military flag used by Napoleon when he liberated Italy. Napoleon’s hometown of Corsica was originally from Italy and was later sold to France. So the French and Italians are quite...

      Director said

      This is a majestic film full of romantic passion. Napoleon is a controversial figure in history. If we only proceed from the historical evaluation of him, we cannot estimate the artistic value of this film. Abel Gance not only has problems with his historical view, but his artistic ambitions are also too great. He wanted to use the depiction of Napoleon's image to draw a huge mural for the unprecedentedly complex and intense period of social change in French history. Guns originally planned...

      Pay tribute to this great movie with an old article twelve years ago

      1. Restoration or training? ——The
      great leaders of the French Revolution will arouse fierce controversy. They have made friends and mortal enemies. Few people are indifferent to them. The evaluation of them depends in part on who will win the worldwide fight. ——Nixon’s "Leader"
      For many years, Napoleon Bonaparte has been an image of a tragic hero in the hearts of people of all countries. Many people know that he is an "aggressor" and a "dictator", and they do not consciously treat...

      Hero's career

      Does it have to be me, a housewife who almost never graduated from a vocational high school and only attended a three-year class, a housewife who is almost forty years old, here writes a comment on such a great movie and a hero?

      Isn't there another person who wants to make some introduction to this great epic, so that more people will pay attention to this unparalleled and magnificent poem?

      Isn’t there a man who was excited by this heroic epic and left their footnotes here,...

      Long comment written with the limit of the number of short comments (12)

      After watching it in four sections, it was 5 and a half hours of horror. I thought it would be the story of Napoleon becoming the emperor and sweeping Europe in half. I didn't expect that the whole film is the story before Napoleon ascended the throne. In the transitional period between stage plays and screen movies, the characters are many of the appearances of stage plays.

      Napoleon’s childhood: snowball fights (authoritative), school life (poor relationship with teachers and...

      Hats off to the restorers! Danton, Marat, Robespierre, take you to review the French history (which you have returned to the teacher). Napoleon said that Europe will be unified in the future! Uncle and aunt of the rotten country let out an embarrassed...

    Movie plot

    The film begins with a snowball fight led by Napoléon Bonaparte in his childhood. At that time, he had already shown strategic talent, but his classmates looked down on him. Napoléon Bonaparte, who fought with his classmates, was thrown into the snow by the monk who ran the school. During the Revolution, he tried to bring his hometown of Corsica into the flames of war, but was opposed and fled by boat. Later he led the army to repel...
