      The joyful things about the handjob

      This is really the funniest movie I've seen in recent years. From the title to the style, it's all fun, and there's an intermission in the middle! Compared with this 65-year-old film, the comedy films are really far behind!
      Such an old film is still novel and refined, and it still makes people laugh at the table. Thanks to the unique sense of humor of the British, the complaints of people from all over the world are extremely accurate! I felt like watching a live-action Hetalia....

      How many of these wonderful aircraft have you seen?

      "In 1910, a flight from London to Paris took 25 hours and 11 minutes; 50 years later, a supersonic plane would do it in seven minutes."

      To advance British aviation, British news tycoon Lord Rawnsley has organised a flight race from London to Paris, where the winner will receive a prize of £10,000 (equivalent to £1,030,000 in 2019). As soon as the news of the competition was released, there were enthusiastic registrations from aircraft enthusiasts from all over the world.

      Like the new and not play with the old

      Everything is new and the most fun, even if you break your head and blood, you are still in high spirits.

      Germany's Magnificent Vocational Training

      German characters' dilogue:

      'How would I learn how to fly?'
      'From the instructions'

      Haha, 'thers is nothing German officails cannot do' if you read the book and follow the instructions. I guess that explains the well-noted German vocational training in the entire world. That's a nation that ensures guidelines, keen to instructions and sees to the executions, exactly like the big fat German officer in the film. And precision and meticulouness even, lots of times,...

    Movie plot

    In 1910, "flying machines" were all the rage at the time. However, just because it was just born, everything is still in its infancy. The British Daily Mail editor-in-chief Lauder Rowans (Robert Morley) planned and organized a race from London to Paris. The purpose of this competition is to demonstrate the superiority of the British race. If all goes according to plan, his son-in-law Richard Mays (James Fox), unsurprisingly, will win...
