People at that time were already very moving, wondering what they said in their mouths could cultivate emotions

Whether it is the performance of relatives when leaving home, or the plot of turning enemies into friends, they may be simplified because they cannot speak, but they are very convincing and engaging.

It is difficult to imagine that the dialogues of one character cannot appear at the bottom of the screen at the same time, but on the other hand, the two pictures can be put together

Flying, and other images are very real, breaking the gap between black and white and no dialogue, making people know that it is difficult to be real but can't help but believe it

It is more attractive than expected, the pursuit of the first flight, the fear of Mary delivering the medicine, the story really does not need so many things, once again I understand the true definition of a movie, the dialogue, characterization, music in it Everything reminds us that this is indeed a movie, and it's pretty good.

Allset? ok! Set up a flag, will these two sentences become tears.

That kind of thrilling and burning feeling makes this movie a masterpiece.

In fact, it is the war + four-cornered love routine. If one person is willing to turn back, everyone will be happy.

But when I saw the ending, my first reaction was that the screenwriter was in a newspaper! The plot is not reasonable enough. In other words, David's death is unnecessary, which will make the audience feel that the characters are stupid. This is actually the scriptwriter's fault! The performance when saying goodbye to David was not good. Jack's performance was too shallow. Shouldn't his mood be very complicated when he found out that the person who was shot down was David? It could have been a textbook-style performance, but it was too ordinary and too ordinary. I don't know if this is the reason for the silent film or the actor's own performance - the first male is the silly and sweet routine of the routine, and the second male is the routine's forbearance and grievance Bo sympathy The second male, but this kind of affection is useless on the female lead and used on the male lead! The two were too close when they parted! Don't blame me for the strange associations!

In the end, sublimation also continues this feeling. Without mentioning the point, the whole film praises the heroic fighting spirit, and finally comes the sentence that it is the fault of the war. Instead, it makes the audience question what the creator wants to express.

In the end, it's still a routine. The routine is so bad that I don't think it should be such a routine. Will there be a reversal? For example, Mary is completely sad and has a new love. I can't think of it... sigh, everything is good for the male protagonist. The harvest is all flowers and applause, even if the acting is not good, it doesn't matter. 【Stand hands】

In short, this movie gives me the feeling that the technology is more than the plot

    The cruelty and reality of war, the life and helplessness of aerial combat. There are also entertainment bridges that Hollywood has added, personal heroism, and embarrassing stories, mixed with good and bad.

    [4M] Hollywood heavily invested in anti-war films in the 1920s. The wide-angle and sophisticated battlefield framing, the rocker arm to push the orbital lens, the aerial photography of the clouds above and below the ground, and the camera frame to shoot the real air battle on the plane, to achieve the directness without stunts. "Fibo Girl" Mary's unrestrained, naturally sexy image is interesting, but adding a slapstick comedy character to the entertainment is a rib. In the narrative, the atmosphere of joy and sorrow is mixed with each other. David's sacrifice of him is as dramatic as a Greek tragedy, and the only powerful thing is to highlight the cruelty of war.
