A symphony of life and death at high altitude intertwined with joy and sorrow

Interspersed with the four corners of romance in cruel wars, even in life and death, there are some easy passages, but the seemingly comedy ending is mixed with tragedy and makes people unhappy. The helplessness of war, the unpredictable life and death, the worthless death, and the living still have to live. Movies from 90 years ago did not procrastinate at all. The audiovisual language is also a classic today. After watching it, there are mixed feelings in my heart, like war leaving a scar that cannot be erased in my heart. This is the power of classic movies.

    Silent film classic. Best film at the first Oscar Awards. Back then, homosexuality could not be spoken uprightly, but this film is actually a gay movie in its bones, and it is still often mentioned today.

    My God...I haven't seen a few silent films yet...it was the first Oscar BP, and when I clicked on the homepage of station B, I was attracted to watch it all in one breath. Movies from nearly 100 years ago still have this kind of content. Power... It's hard to imagine how the aerial battles and large-scale battle scenes were actually shot. It's amazing. I feel that some scenes are not inferior to today's war movies. It was definitely a high-cost blockbuster at that time, and it included The nudity and same-sex kissing scenes that have been famous in film history are full of avant-garde and avant-garde. The movie is long, but it's fun to watch, and I love watching the subtitles interspersed... The wording is interesting and meaningful to learn. The front is quite funny and humorous, and the more it goes on, the more ruthless the war is, and when I think of the release of the film, it is the period between World War I and World War II before the Second World War... I can feel the cruelty of the times and the realism of the film. . The core is still anti-war. Looking at some of the scenes now, it may be a little bloody, but Dave's tragic ending still has Shakespeare's Roju-style good luck... Whether it's to avoid censorship or not, the ending is a positive return to the hometown to respond to the heroine's feelings , It's pretty cute, but it's still sad to see it.
