    Nominated for Best Feature Film Director and Best Art Film at the first Academy Awards. I thought it was a war and revolution movie with a grand theme. Later, I found out that it was a small-scale movie with a love theme. However, there was such a powerful existence as the sunrise in those days. In all aspects, this movie seems too mediocre, and the story is plain and cliché without waves. Also gave a happy ending, no courage. But photography is...

    The world is impermanent, bitter and joyful, nothing and great things are never achieved, maybe it is true that the wife and children are on the kang head? When the protagonist plays and sings, the limitations of silent films are immediately...

    The composition is thoughtful, with two inverted isosceles trapezoids, the first of which is John Sims walking up the stairs to face his father's death, and the other being the birth of new life guided by a hospital bed. Perhaps the most tragic thing is to be the person who I once laughed at and despised. At the end, the protagonist's family watched the clown performance with heartless laughter. The camera pulled back, and the whole row of the same cheerful people was really impressive, and the...

    3.5; Never laugh at others because you don't know one day you'll be one of them too. This film was released in 1928, paving the way for the Great Depression that followed in 1929. I believe it has given a placebo to many families who have fallen into despair. . Was the Hollywood ending spread from this...

    A good movie is when you can see your own shadow. A good movie is when you can see society, life and life. A good movie is when you still find that it tells about today no matter how many years have...

    The use of speaking curtains and dialogue scenes has far surpassed many silent films of the same period, and many clever parts have even reached the realm where silence is better than sound at this time. You can't hear it when you look at it. In fact, the empty and flashy flirting is a Really comfortable. excellent...
