"Wings" expresses American-style heroism and truly reflects the memory and romance and enthusiasm of Western youth for the first World War that has just passed. It has a lively rhythm, full of high-spirited optimism, and music is also full of High-spirited marching rhythm. In terms of plot, the play uses four corners of love stories to form the main line of narrative, using props, coincidences, misunderstandings, etc. to endow the film with legendary and comedic character. It is not so much a war film, but rather a romance. The four young people in the film have subtle four corners. Relationships are very common in popular dramas. The contradictions and conflicts of the film are smooth and natural, light-hearted and humorous. Although small and far-fetched, there is no abuse of sentimentality. As a silent film, most of the plots in the film are presented with large body language or facial expressions, which to a certain extent makes up for the inadequacy of silent films that cannot use the ups and downs of language and the sound itself to shape characters, although in the 21st century It seems that it is inevitable to have the feeling of a stage pantomime, but it brings the audience an artistic enjoyment that is different from that of a sound film.
