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 students), and the teachers who were let go of the French Revolution on the Eagle Continent are leading the revolution. Napoleon has grown up and came to his hometown. In love with his motherland, he refused to cede Corsica from France and became a "rebel". His family was also implicated as an artillery captain, showing outstanding leadership and military planning capabilities, and was released in the Battle of Toulon. Splendid. Persisted in foreign warfare, refused to serve as the leader of the Paris Garrison, was thrown into prison by Robespierre, and refused to fight with the French after being released. He was deprived of his military rank and lived a hard life. The people were in distress, the revolutionaries’ terror rule was unpopular, and the royalists fought back. Napoleon was selected as the general against the royalists, which won popular support and a cult of him appeared. The story of Napoleon and his wife, as well as the father and daughter who admired him, Napoleon, who appeared in the plot very early, went to Italy. 310 minutes later, three films were spliced ​​into one scene and played. Many spectacular scenes were seen by the audience at that time. Dumbfounded

The three screens and the tricolor flag, the eagle that appears many times in different periods of the film, are all symbols of Napoleon. His pursuit, hooked nose and sharp eyes, the film often shows Napoleon’s "aura"

    I saw the four-hour version, the most complete version is more than five hours. The shooting standard is superb, the second half is beautifully shot, and the whole is very impressive. The story goes from Napoleon's youth to the eve of his emperorship. Later, "Napoleon at Austerlitz" by the same director is a sequel to this film.
