"Napoleon" will be brought to you on the 7th screening day of the 18th Faroe Island Film Festival. Below, please see the comments of the powerful generals on the front line!
Fruit trees:
Relying too much on the text itself, the stacking of images has too many invalid components. The size cannot tell everything. It makes people feel that this film is essentially 1920s "Black Panther".
Wind is coming:
If "I Accuse" is Guns's "The Birth of a Nation", then "Napoleon" is his "Party Familiarity". After affecting Jean Eisenstein, he also came back to receive the influence of "Battleship Potemkin": the priest beat the cross on the battleship with Napoleon's snowball fight at school. In the era when there was no concept of drama series, the engineering volume of "Napoleon" was unimaginable difficulty in both production and screening. Before watching it, I thought that these 5 and a half hours were complete. After watching it, I realized that Napoleon was just mentioned. Playing in Italy... With the shock of the triple screen technology, the army completed the end. As a result, I realized that the previous episodes were lengthy. The Battle of Toulon took nearly an hour. If the five parts were filmed according to Guns's idea, would Egypt, the naval battle, and Waterloo take two or three hours? The role of Napoleon is also in the mythology of the whole film. Many people in French history have also divided their attention. Obviously I would prefer the closed narrative and high degree of completion of "I Accuse". This movie shocked me in all aspects. For example, the original triple screen was not only about widening the field of view without moving the camera, but it was hard to like.
Morning:
Now I see that there is no need to make a big call. The processing of text information in the movie is very rigid. To talk about the details, it depends on the technical limitations of the time and has made endless unique skills, but in 5 and a half hours of watching the movie. In the process, I really watched the feeling of acrobatics. The art and costume props are relatively crude. I often think that the age of many pictures is a house on a street in the 1930s when I watched Shanghai movies. Some scenes, such as eating documents, are placed in that place. I also find it weird and ruined. This kind of crowded "epic".
No one at midnight:
It is grand, magnificent, and luxurious, but not charming.
Cangshan ancient well air to the moon:
The emphasis on restoring history also makes the film narrative subject to historical facts. Historical events rely too much on the narrative of the text. The text has already set the tone for the direction of the story. Therefore, the narrative of the image has become a subsidiary of the text and loses its narrative role. Under such a framework, at least the director of the first part consciously used a variety of scheduling techniques to avoid the film’s simplistic narrative. Guns seemed to borrow Soviet montage editing techniques to highlight Napoleon’s heroic temperament and his time. Turbulence, but there is also the problem of technique overwhelming the narrative. In the second part, the narrative has a greater proportion, and it even seems to be heading in the direction of listing the main events that are common in biopics now, without many of the eye-catching techniques in the first part.
