First of all, I didn't expect that the best picture at the 2001 Oscars was a silent film. After watching it, I was very shocked. In my impression, silent films have high requirements on the performance level of the actors. After all, our way of expression is to speak with our mouth, followed by facial expressions and body language. This requires a high level of performance for the actors, and it also tests the audience very much. level of understanding.
Jack and David like the same girl, and the girl has a crush on David.
With the outbreak of the First World War, Jack and David enlisted in the army with reluctance for their family. They came to the army as rivals in love, but they became best friends and best brothers. On the battlefield, they fought bravely and made many exploits. During an aerial battle with the enemy, David was unfortunately hit by the enemy. Jack It was very sad to see David's plane being shot down, which also increased the hatred for the enemy, and Jack fought even more bravely. David did not die, but was injured in the shoulder. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, he sneaked into the enemy's camp, and drove the enemy's combat power to escape. At this time, Jack was fighting in the air. Because David was driving an enemy fighter jet, Jack mistakenly thought that David was the enemy and killed David. Jack only wanted to avenge David but did not expect that he killed David. Jack was very self-blame and sadness. Back home, Jack apologized to David's parents, and David's parents forgave Jack generously, "It's not your fault, it's all the fault of the war." Humans are victims of war.
This film is very realistic in the aerial combat and land fighting scenes, and the shooting level is not inferior to the current war-themed movies, and it deserves to be the best picture of the Oscar.

    Re-examining this movie, from today's point of view, it is almost kicking the cabinet door, but it was as obscure as possible at the time, so the fact that the two female protagonists have any emotional lines will not hinder the main story at all, but I do like Mary a little bit. , while the editing and a few montages of the movie are really good.
