In fact, from a modern point of view, this is not a good film. The film lasted more than two hours, and after seeing it, I thought I just wanted to finish it. This is a silent film, because the feelings of the characters cannot be expressed in words, so the actors can only express them with exaggerated movements, so the whole film looks a bit like a stage play.
But in those days, it was indeed a good film. Half of the film is in the air battle scenes. Since the directors and other directors are all pilots, the film presents a vivid sense of life and spectacular air battle scenes. And those scenes look very realistic today. In the arrangement of love, the whole film also developed smoothly and naturally, unconventional. This makes this the first best film in Oscar history, and the only silent film to win this honor, with a long-lasting viewing value.

    [First Oscar Best Picture] A classic air combat blockbuster 90 years ago. I didn't expect it to be so exciting. The thrilling scenes of air combat and crashes that were shot on the real machine are simply amazing. It is no less inferior to today's war blockbusters. Although the actor's performance still carries the exaggeration of the silent film era, the plot is also the main theme. But the melodious music, the majestic war scenes, and the love and love of brothers and sisters and the love and killing of brothers and sisters are so full that it still shines with value nearly a hundred years later.
