On the 4th screening day of the 18th Faroe Island Film Festival, "Wing" is brought to you. Below, please see the comments of the pilots inadvertently in the air battle on the front line!

Fruit trees:

The fluency of the narrative has been interrupted many times, but the large sections of the flight scene are exciting enough.

Wind is coming:

It's really awesome to be able to shoot, but it's boring and boring. Far inferior to "I Accuse" in 1919. The aerial combat scenes are so awesomely filmed, creating the kind of war movie tradition that Hollywood will have in the future as a must-see movie that is used as a propaganda film by the military. However, as a silent film, it is not even as silent as the great war films of later generations. A tense dramatic action is all explained by the subtitle card. It is too literary grand and dramatic and forgets the appeal of the film itself. It seems to be determined from the source. With the temperament of the Oscar, I know how low it is to suddenly insert a subtitle card when the plane is flying.

Morning:

I regard it as a youth romance movie, that is, an idol drama. The part of military warfare is the background, but in 1927 he has done quite well, but who would have expected Clara Bow to overshadow all the splendor. Her emotional part is very interesting and very flat, like "A Letter from a Stranger Woman", most of it is in a state, but her performance is messy but reasonable, just like Qin Lan in "Strategy of Yanxi Palace", many The place is not played well, but the role seems extremely reasonable and has become the uniqueness/personality of this role. Clara Bow bluntly expressed all the emotions in this movie and became a support point. I also like the bubble scene very much. It seems like the scene in an animation like "The Spring Festival Is Short, Let's Go Girl". Thinking of this, Clara Bow is even more interesting.

No one at midnight:

The original aesthetic orientation of the original Oscar’s best film has been established since the first edition of the “orthodox” and “model” taste that has continued for more than 90 years. The male protagonist's basic love drama, whether it is intentional or unintentional, also brings a little room for reverie, other than that, there is nothing to say.

Beiyang to warm:

The foundation of the war love genre film, a large part of the history of flying movies left traces.

FranzCamus:

One of the greatest bases in film history, Jack and David’s sentimental discerning people can see that it is only due to the social opinion at the time. The photography skills are superb. The hotel is excellent. The two male protagonists are both pilots and do not need to stand in person. It’s just that the shooting is a bit cumbersome and there are still too many flights in the middle. The best film of the first Academy Awards.

I know her a little bit:

Zhuangli, magnificent, majestic, and brilliant. It turns out that the Oscars laid out such a just and splendid theme at the beginning. This is a height that can not be reached by industry alone. Everyone is so full, upward, determined, and courageous, even if it becomes a string. Clara Bow in the vase is also so rebellious and unique. This is an aerial epic that belongs only to that era. It is not naive, not monotonous, not stingy in scheduling, and not stingy in the scene. If it is more compact, it will be more perfect. Complex and chastity emotions run through the beginning and the end, heartbroken and mysterious soul throbbing constantly singing the high tone, youth has passed away, and pure love will never come again.

Cangshan ancient well air to the moon:

The main theme of the war in the silent film period is the correction factor, brotherhood, showing the tragedy of the battlefield, and the woman behind the silent sacrifice. The actual air battle scenes, technically, should have been extremely shocking at the time, but the details of the ground battle scenes were not done enough. Many soldiers in the group appeared to be walking instead of fighting. The long shot from the table in the brothel was great.

#FIFF18# The 4th day of the show will be released later, please wait and see.

    Infuse romance into spectacular battles. A camera mounted on an airplane shoots aerial combat. Carefully arranged motifs, ingenious lighting, and camera movement make The Wings a model of Hollywood silent filmmaking. First Oscar Best Picture ever.

    3.5 stars, "Do you really don't recognize me?" This is Mary and David's questioning of Jack, but this failed to restore the crazy Jack to his senses-despite the innocent smile at the opening, He has long been a victim of war, a ruthless killing machine. It's a pity that this anti-war element is very cryptic in the film, and it's not even as good as the gay kiss at the end. David's war exhaustion did not unfold at all. The more points are the restoration of the war scenes and the larger scale of performance
