The 1927 Movie, "Napoleon" directed by Abel Gance was revolutionary and historic in many ways. The technique and style not only captured the history of Napoleon Bonaparte, but it also changed the way that motion pictures were viewed and shot forever. This movie used innovative camera techniques and lighting to entertain, move, and educate the audience.
This movie is still so in demand that it is actually difficult to find clips online. I wish it was possible to view the entire movie. It looks like the copyright holders still wish to profit from it. However, even in this preview you can see how the closeups, the camera angles, and the lighting creates effective drama.
