Ridley scott sits in the director's chair, and the audience can expect Napoleon's famous battle to appear on the huge canvas with grand scale and bloody details. But the focus of this history lesson, that is, the peculiar core of this film, is joaquin phoenix's interpretation of the role of Napoleon. He removed the word hero from the biographical film of heroic history and inserted a lecherous freak instead.
Although Napoleon is a film with high cost and big budget, for a director like Lao Lei, it is still a work with the label of author first, and he has his own personal expression of people and things in the film.
In fact, in the last picture of the film, the list of deaths in the battles he launched during the Napoleonic Wars was stated in subtitles, which shows Lao Lei's attitude towards Napoleon and his time, as well as the focus of the film.
