Speaking of air combat films, the most recent memory is "Pearl Harbor." Maybe the American people are still living in the shadow of that film, so that they have lost their enthusiasm for air combat films. However, there is one essential difference between this film and "Pearl Harbor", that is, this film describes air combat during the First World War. The airplane was just invented at that time, the equipment was very crude, the pilots had no protective measures, and they all relied on courage and technology to fight the enemy in the air. The closer the battle is to the original, the more exciting it is. The air combat scene in this film is absolutely eye-catching. With the help of stunts and computers, it truly reproduces the style of the first-generation fighter pilots. Moreover, the director of the film is a pilot himself, he clearly knows all kinds of aerial skills and perspectives, so the film is very enjoyable.
Although it is adapted from a real story, I believe that apart from the fact that the name "Lafayette Flying Squad" is real, the rest is all artistic processing. Unfortunately, the processing is very rough. The meaning of the war has been weakened. Let’s look at the reasons why the members of the squad participated in the war. Some were to escape from prison, some were to gain fame, some were for family honor, and some were for God... It reminded me of last year’s "Poseidon". Number", is also such a group of frustrated people. The drama is not enough, love is together, Hollywood also knows this. Driving in an open plane with MM is really amazing. Which MM doesn't immediately throw in his arms.
France’s beautiful rural scenery, majestic soundtrack, exciting and fierce air combat, plus the handsome and French guy in "Spider-Man" Jean Renault, this film is worth going to the theater. If you watch the disc, just watch the air combat, and ignore the rest.
