Do not waste your time, money, or effort watching the 2024 film. Even the trailer screams "miss me" in spite of Joaquin Phoenix portraying the title character and Ridley Scott directing that obscene mess.
This is Abel Gance's masterpiece of history telling and film editing. It shows nothing lacking historical evidence or educational value, unlike the 2024 film, which obviously seeks to gain the "most paused moment" prize. Those moments are not the battle scenes.
Watch this silent film and learn some real history lessons about the French Emperor AND film editing, since the three-screen triptych ending predated Cinerama by almost 30 years.
This film needed nothing obscene and depicted battles in the 1700s very accurately.
