7 points, the famous first Oscar Best Picture, many people who don't know what the 23456 Oscar bp is may have heard of this movie, but in fact, the first Oscar Best Picture is strictly speaking There are two, this one and the famous Sunrise, are still inferior to the latter. This film is actually a pretty good silent film. Although the plot is quite simple, the stunt shooting of this film was really ahead of the times at that time, and the second half of the film is still very exciting. But the biggest problem with this film is that the first half is too long, and the Paris part is really optional. The actors in this film are all unfamiliar actors, and the overall performance is average, but Gary Cooper came out and made a little soy sauce, and it was ready in a few minutes.
