Love and war seem to be eternal themes, even in the first Oscar-winning film in 1927. Jack, a very individual young man, takes risks and blood impulses, and these are deeply infatuated with Mary next door. Of course, no love can be so smooth. Jack loves the city girl Shivia, and Shivia Then he fell in love with David, the son of the family.
World War I brought two young lads to the battlefield. On the first step on the road to glory, there was no trembling or confusion, but the excitement of going back to school. With brotherhood. At this time, in order to see her love, Mary resolutely joined the ambulance team. When she met Jack in Paris, he did not recognize Mary because she was drunk. In these misunderstandings, Mary left the ambulance team. . . . .
The war has always been cruel. David and Jack performed a mission together. David crashed, but miraculously survived. When he returned with a stolen German fighter plane, he accidentally encountered David and mistakenly thought that David was already there. . And Jack, who wanted to avenge him, when Jack successfully shot down the enemy plane, his sense of revenge has never been so strong. When he saw that the driver was David, all his feelings flooded into his heart, and behind him was the symbol On the cross of rest, when the war was over, Jack returned to his hometown to plead with David's parents,
"Jack, I want to hate you so much, but I know it's not your fault, it's all war." . War is war. .
Lovers Jack and Mary hug each other as a shooting star streaks across the sky.
The place where this film shines is the part of the aerial combat. In 1927, China was filming The Dream of the Red Chamber. Please do not make comparisons.
Two things stood out to me, Jack's contented, twisted smile when he shot down the German plane that David was driving, and the cross that he had beside him when he found out that it was David. It is the war that makes them lost, it is the war that makes them miserable, it is the war that separates them from yin and yang.

    It looks good, and in the end the two protagonists said goodbye and felt like they were kicking the cabinet door. Although it is a black-and-white silent film with no color and dialogue, it does not appear boring and lengthy. The war scenes are very large, and the excitement of the air combat is also expressed, and some amused performances are interspersed to adjust the atmosphere, which is good-looking. I like two of the plots the most. One is Jack chasing bubbles while drunk in Paris. In the war years, the hearts of young girls are like bubbles in the air. A beautiful but fragile one bursts. The second is the final confrontation between Dave and Jack. My friend went to such a point by accident, quite a sense of fate.

    The film in 1927 was a real deal at the time. This film was mentioned by "Celluloid Wardrobe". It can only be said that the folk customs of the 1920s are simple and it is inappropriate to not have any close contact. The only drawback is that it is slightly verbose
