The emotion in the black and white silent film

The two-hour black-and-white silent film of war was thought to be boring, but I watched it with gusto. I wanted to find someone with subtitles, but I found that even masked guesses can still be understood by combining movements and demeanor. As we said in class, characters can be described through language, appearance, movements, expressions, and psychology. In this film, the expressions and actions are enlarged, and the language is subtitled, which is the limitation of the times, but it allows people to focus on observing the characters' movements.

Affection

When the war is coming, every mother can't help but hug her child, and every father silently endures his feelings. Before he left, David kissed his father silently, which was very touching. My father repeatedly tugged his shirt, without much language or major changes in attitude, but he just made people feel that his father's love was as heavy as a mountain.

Await your return

love

One is the happiness of mutual affection; the other is the beauty of secret love. David and Sylvia felt that they had been interrupted many times by the reckless Jack, and even the photos of their departure were "half grabbed" away. Also deliberately said goodbye with his back to David.

Be careful when you are jealous... In the end, David gently protected the heart of a sincere boy.

Mary and Jack, the secret love came true, "When the shooting stars pass by, you can kiss the girl you love", the beginning and the end are reflected, from "I love you but you love her" to "I can explain", experienced The long war.

Mary, with watery eyes, finally "held the clouds and the moonlight".

You can kiss the girl you love

Friendship The friendship between men is really strange. We can be jealous for a girl, or we can unite for a war.

From rivals to life and death. J mistakenly thought that D had sacrificed and wanted to avenge him. Instead, he really killed D who had returned from an enemy plane. The two experienced the hardships of training and the cruelty of the war together, and the ending was somewhat coincidental and somewhat cruel.

A man returned, and a boy disappeared. The family, love, and friendship in the black and white silent film are praised and sighed by the ingenuity of the filming.
