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 the British army in the storm. After returning to Paris, he found that the revolution had become a reign of terror. He met Josephine while in custody and met again at an event celebrating the success of the revolution, but he almost missed his wedding because of planning to invade Italy. Before leaving for Italy, he came to the conference hall of the pioneers of the revolution. The ghosts of Robespierre, Dandong and others appeared and asked him to take on the responsibility of leading the revolution. He accepted the challenge and vowed to extinguish all wars soon. In the Alps, he found that the troops were short of clothing and food, and morale was low, so he decided to parade. At this time, the screen expanded into three screens, showing a spectacular military camp scene. The arrival and agitation of Napoléon Bonaparte revived the soldiers. The climax of the film: the three screens sometimes fight each other and sometimes merge into one. Finally, when the army enters Italy, the screens show three colors of blue, white, and red. This is a spectacle of movie history.

3.5 The film has some Impressionist highlights, such as the use of quick montages, and the shaking shooting of the parliamentary chaos scene caused by the wind and waves of the sea is amazing. Of course, the idea of putting together the three screens can be said to be quite creative, especially when the three colors of red, white and blue appear at the end, it does bring an emotional explosion effect. It's just that this big production at the time fell into the romantic stereotype of Hollywood. The battle scenes were subject to the technology of the time and were very chaotic. Generally speaking, it is a French director who, with his excessive personal adoration of Napoleon, made a film of the first half of his life of the French Ye Liangchen with his own domineering spirit. It was indeed an era of nationalism and hustle and bustle. And after watching the wheel and the film, there is a doubt. Why did the male protagonists have to draw dark circles at that time? The last thing I saw was a biography of Napoleon restored by the victorious British Empire, which was really emotional.

4.5/5 The latest restoration version 330min; 5 and a half hours, but only about conquering Italy; the opening snowball fight is awesome; the rough triplet is shocking; the triplet of individual shots is not a widescreen but a screen split; Napoleon is too difficult The ideal biography of Napoleon should have color and sound to be able to outline Napoleon's magnificent life. Even if Gance has incomparable enthusiasm for film, his silent films are still too limited;
