Abel
Gance’s film Napoleon 1927
The scene, “Abel Gance’s film Napoleon 1927” show a
lot young kids in place similarly to military camp or school. The young kids
are dressed with military clothes. There is snow and they have a snowball fight
in the same way to a battlefield. At the same times, you can see Napoleon reflection
face several times. The film shows revolution and wars. You can see Napoleon as
a man in boat crews with the eagle. I think the film tried to shows how was
Napoleon life as childhood and adult. He
looks like an unhappy and isolated kid. Probably he was in a military school
where he was intimidated by others kids. He was emotionally affected during his
childhood. It is seen that his is strongly close to the eagle, because the
eagle followed him all the time.
I choose this scene because
my grandfather used to talk about Napoleon. “Abel Gance’s film Napoleon 1927”
relate to the class because it has something in common with expressionist
painting. It is a way of expressing their inner emotions and different perspective
of a person life. Also 1927 were the time where motion pictures were created
without sound and the film success in Germany. It is another way of transmitted
and expressed human inner emotions. Nihilist belief that there is no meaning of
life and human being, always in search of ruin. Napoleon was part of the
revolutionary war, meaning he create him own destruction.
