The British are known for their political tongues, and even the TV series is full of fights and caustic lines. But when the British met Napoleon, what kind of sparks would be sparked? The history of the war between Napoleon and Britain gave Britain a lot of headaches. Legendary Hollywood director Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" is not only an epic masterpiece, but also one of the favorites to sprint for the next Oscars. This film is not only based on historical figures and real events, but also full of thinking and humanistic care about personal fate.
Ridley Scott's work has always been eye-catching, and his "Blade Runner" was criticized for being obscure, but now it is one of the greatest science fiction works in film history, and its science fiction core is still borrowed and passed down today. How did this series of works influence the British people's perception of history and people? It is worth our deep thinking and **.
Director Lei is obsessed with making a film that reproduces the six major battles in Napoleon's life, and through highly restored war scenes and complex emotional presentations, the audience feels as if they are in the smoke of the Napoleonic era. He faced the challenge of understanding and reconstructing Napoleon's complex character and presenting the controversial course of his conquest. In this film, the director is full of confidence and persistence in what he wants to present, which is not only a visual feast, but also a reproduction of history and a reflection on human nature.
So, what is it that makes the director so fascinated and disdainful to dedicate a heroic hymn that the audience expects? Napoleon: Deciphering History is an unusual film that subverts our conventional wisdom about this historical figure. Napoleon in the film is not the familiar image of a military commander, but more like a young man driven by ambition and glory, and a dramatic life that fell from the pinnacle of power in middle age.
The director is not afraid to show Napoleon's "true face" and does not hide his "lies", for example, the film exposes the fact that Napoleon claimed to have never taken the initiative to start a war, but led a large army to conquer **. This deconstruction of the traditional image presents Napoleon as an ordinary man who is sometimes conceited and sometimes vulnerable.
Compared with the heroic image in the director's previous works, the protagonist in "Gladiator" fell from a general to a gladiator and was a savior of revenge, while Berrion in "Heavenly Dynasty" showed a handsome image of military achievements. And in "Napoleon", we see a fascination with Josephine who can be called a licking dog, a Napoleon who is as eccentric as an unreasonable child in courtship. This way of reinterpreting historical figures brings a new viewing experience to the audience.
In the movie "Napoleon", Napoleon shows self-confidence and military talent, but his inner anxiety and emotional entanglement are also vividly presented. At the exiled table, the film uses clever filming techniques to contrast Napoleon's "short" image with the ministers around him, showing his conceit and loneliness. And in terms of feelings, the complicated relationship with Josephine also shows Napoleon's inner fragility and anxiety.
Josephine, as the only woman Napoleon loved in his life, showed her ability in political struggles and emotional entanglement, bringing loyalty and limitations to Napoleon's political career. Through the portrayal of the lives of Napoleon and Josephine, the whole film shows the tragic fate of this historical and legendary couple, as well as the strong and fragile dual character of Napoleon. Do you think Napoleon's conceit and loneliness were the reason for his success or the trigger for his failure? What role did Josephine play in Napoleon's life?
The story of Napoleon and Josephine is an intoxicating saga of love. Set against the backdrop of ornate palaces and exquisite utensils, the film Napoleon showcases the mysterious charm of the legendary Empress Josephine. Director Ridley Scott has also shown a unique understanding of the female figure in other works, such as "Flowers of the End" and "The Last Duel" in 1991, in which female characters are presented to the audience as powerful individuals.
In "Napoleon", Vanessa Kirby's excellent performance made Josephine, the empress, no longer a simple decoration, but a female figure with both elegance and cunning, leaving a deep impression on the audience. Josephine's mystery and ambition are vividly displayed in the film, which makes people fascinated. What is so appealing about Napoleon's film? In addition to the historical biography, it also incorporates a gripping love story.
In the film, the audience can feel the true portrayal of the protagonist Vanessa's inner struggle and confusion, and her stay with Napoleon is moving. The charm of historical figures, tense and exciting war scenes, and the twists and turns of love all make the audience want to stop. Director Ridley Scott has succeeded in telling such a complex character from more than 200 years ago that today's audiences can still enjoy and arouse infinite curiosity about Napoleon. Isn't this movie a great thing?
