flyboys-sky knights

This movie seems to have been watched from last month. At the end of the first one, it was interrupted by a group of friends who flooded into the house, and then she was put aside until today, when she was bored to watch it.

In fact, I’ve always been reluctant to watch foreign language films with many characters, because I seem to have a problem with face recognition, I can’t remember their names and identities accurately, and I often can’t distinguish the owners of the faces, just like this film, until the end , I still forgot the names of who and whom, the various characters that appeared, the undead who died in the first battle, in the blink of an eye, I forgot them behind my head.

FLYBOYS, translated in Chinese into "Air Fighting Heroes", in the film, they call themselves "Sky Knights". Without exception, they have handsome faces, sharp faces, eye-catching eyes and a high nose. This was France during World War I. American volunteers formed the "Lafayette" squad with various purposes. World War I, I still remember it was defined in the middle school history textbook as "the unjust war in which the imperialists compete with each other to carve up the world", and in the film, from the population in the play, the doubts about the war were also expressed. What is the meaning? I don’t know who will win or when the war will end suddenly.”

The film critics described this film as a war epic. Those fierce battles in the air. Only a dozen years after the White brothers successfully took the plane into the sky, the brave and fearless pilots drove the simple fighter plane made of canvas and wood roaring in the sky. , And after being hit, you can't even parachute and protect yourself. I don’t know if it’s the download version problem or the movie itself. The movie in my hard drive is all grayish tones, adding a sad color to the movie.

Perhaps it was the director’s intentional arrangement. In "Heroes of Air Combat", on the one hand, there are battle scenes in the air that are pressing hard to make people breathless, and on the other side are the leisurely flowers before and after the war, but the combination of the two is not so compact. The transition of the fragments is not smooth enough. These make the rhythm of the whole film like an out-of-tune concerto, everything is messed up.

In addition to the rhythm, the story itself has something amazing. The experiences of several major pilots are interspersed with each other. Although critics say that this is the reason that undermines the strength of "Air Combat" as a war epic, it also played a sensational role. Think of it as a series of stories. It's not bad to think about it separately.

After watching the movie, when I was looking for pictures, I found the little black bars familiar to SC. I couldn't help but think of another interesting incident that happened in Fanfou today. I can only sigh, the world is so small!
