      cigarettes on the battlefield

      The first half is heaven, and the second half is hell. The use of sound effects in war scenes has played a great role, and the drum sound goes straight to the bottom of my heart! What makes me most uncomfortable is the thin man's saliva. Although there are many such "spitting" images in "modern" movies, they don't look so disgusting! In the end, since the lottery is still used in this way, my mother! We don't know what he's chewing. However, in general the movie is still...

      It's great, it's so beautiful! It has all the advantages of silent movies, comedy humor, romantic and delicate love, rich facial expressions, cute heroine, and thick black eyeliner (haha). Moreover, it is also a movie describing the impact of the First World War on people and families, and the war scenes are by no means merely embellishments. As a movie of Jinweiduo, it has been restored, and it should be seen by more...

      The Mulan-style barracks life of Dowson, BC and Chen Peisi. This is basically what keeps me going. Love scenes are too naive and lengthy. It took an hour and a half to remember that they were going to...

    Background creation

    This is one of the best-selling war films in the silent era. It has a deep and keen observation of the war that has just ended a few years ago.
    The plot structure of the film is complete, the plot rhythm is undulating, and the production is also very rigorous and realistic. It fully demonstrates the professional strength of Hollywood in dealing with this kind of big-time romantic comic story. It also reflects the strongness of the film...
