[PAR] [TLE] Napoleon [SEP] Napoléon Bonaparte ( ; ] ; 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars.  As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and again briefly in 1815 (during the Hundred Days).  Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars.  He won most of these wars and the vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815.  One of the greatest commanders in history, his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide.  Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured as one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history. [PAR] [TLE] Napoléon (1927 film) [SEP] Napoléon is a 1927 silent French epic film written, produced, and directed by Abel Gance that tells the story of Napoleon's early years.  On screen, the title is Napoléon vu par Abel Gance, meaning "Napoleon as seen by Abel Gance".  The film is recognised as a masterwork of fluid camera motion, produced in a time when most camera shots were static.  Many innovative techniques were used to make the film, including fast cutting, extensive close-ups, a wide variety of hand-held camera shots, location shooting, point of view shots, multiple-camera setups, multiple exposure, superimposition, underwater camera, kaleidoscopic images, film tinting, split screen and mosaic shots, multi-screen projection, and other visual effects.  A revival of "Napoléon" in the mid-1950s influenced the filmmakers of the French New Wave.
