      film review

      People at that time were already very moving, wondering what they said in their mouths could cultivate emotions

      Whether it is the performance of relatives when leaving home, or the plot of turning enemies into friends, they may be simplified because they cannot speak, but they are very convincing and engaging.

      It is difficult to imagine that the dialogues of one character cannot appear at the bottom of the screen at the same time, but on the other hand, the two pictures can be...

      Friendship in War of Wings

      I watched it for 15 years, and when I was sorting out the space, I stumbled upon this film review that is not a film review~

      The film is set in the First World War and tells the story of David and Jack's friendship during the war. Every time they board the plane, when David shouts "ALL SET?" and Jack shouts "OK!!", a tacit understanding arises spontaneously; but they like the same woman after all, and the photo that should have been given to David was taken by Jack When Jack was...

      boy go, man back

      Other than Chaplin's films and Metropolis, this is the first black and white silent film I've ever seen.

      Forgive me for being a face control, intuition, and the person who won the heart of beauty Not to mention super handsome or something). . . Then after watching the whole film, I found out that this is the male lead, me? I haven't watched European and American films for only half a month. Has the blindness to Caucasians become so serious? ? Of course, I think this movie is set with...

      Blockbusters from the 90's

      This film was the best film of the first Oscar, and it is said that it was a sensation 90 years ago. Although this film is far away from us, many of the most magnificent scenes in the film are shocking even today. The plot of the film is very simple, it is a four-cornered love relationship. In the United States in 1917, both Jack and David were in love with a rich girl, Shi Weiya, but Shi Weiya loved David deeply, but Jack didn't know it, let alone Mary loved him deeply. Then the United...

      No sound adds to the perception

      001 "Wings"
      war brings temporary friendship, and people need love!
      ﹉Jack took revenge for David, and his impulse overcame his reason. He went to the German camp to slaughter. On the way back to his camp, he encountered an enemy plane, which was also flying to the Allied camp. He felt that this was a good time for revenge. Chase and fight, shoot down the enemy plane, and later discover that it is David who is driving the enemy plane.
      Don't be impulsive in doing things, they say...

      2015.03.23.13:25 I put it in the dial but I haven't seen it all the time. In order not to let it continue to occupy space, I'd better look it up: Hey, compared to "Sunrise" which won the 1st Academy Award for Outstanding Work of Art ” feels a lot worse, the story is not exciting enough for me, and the subtitles are used too frequently, but as the first Oscar best film, it is still worth recommending. ...the shot of Jack lying on the grass looking up at the sky reminds me of Boyhood.

      1. The first Oscar for Best Picture. 2. The black and white silent film of 1927, the meaning of the work is greater than the work itself. 3. Except for the last part, David stole the German enemy plane back and was shot down by Jack accidentally. The rest are very...
