TheBigSky,

If you ever get the chance, (if you haven’t seen it already) I highly recommend the French Director Abel Gance’s 1927 epic masterpiece, Napoleon! He used some first ever cinimagraphic features! Great movie. Especially if you see the one with the new music score I think done for the re-release in 2016.

Be prepared this was suppose to have been like four 9 hour episodes! He only finished one episode and only got as far as the Italian Piedmontese campaign!!!! It’s an awesome flick!!!!!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
