All caused by war

The best picture of the first Oscar, World War I, Air Force, love, these labels are combined together, it really makes people can't help but speculate on the plot and performance. I began to fantasize about the earth-shattering love in "Gone with the Wind" and the heroine of Scarlett's fiery love. In the two-hour-long film, it really makes people's eyes shine at the beginning. Mary and Jack seem to be in love right from the start, admiring each other. However, in a few minutes, the plot twists, and Jack's real love heroine is the rich girl Sylvia. I guess, this must be what the plot needs, and it must be a beautiful story of the prince and Cinderella at the end. However, since then, the love story will never come back. Both Jack and Sylvia's real sweetheart, David, were drafted into the army and began to live as pilots. In several fascinating air battle scenes, David was accidentally shot and killed by Jack. When they died, the two were still friends.

Jack finally returned to Mary's side, and everything that happened in the past disappeared. The war didn't destroy anything, but instead made mutual trust.

Jack: Mary, I think I have something to tell you. There was a girl in Paris one night, but I forgot, at that time. . .
Mary: Remember Jack, I've seen wars too. I don't want to blame anyone, anything. The end of the film that is the most important thing in the future is

still like a fairy tale. The director arranged for the meteor shower to pass by at this time, and the two embrace each other.

Jack: Do you know what to do when you see a meteor?
Mary: You can kiss the girl you love.

The ending is reminiscent of "Love in a Fallen City", but the two who fell in love calculated that they finally got together after the baptism of the battle of Hong Kong. Although the tragic harmony of this drama is very different, the combination of love and war is really unique and interesting.

A lot of time and scenes in the movie are spent in the training and flight missions of the two pilots, and there are also many wonderful scenes of aerial firefights with the German army. After watching the whole film, in fact, the most impressive part is the aerial combat, including the ups and downs in which Jack mistakenly thought that David was the German army and pursued without hesitation. The friendship ended in death, and this dramatic design pushes the plot to a climax, which is the turning point of Jack and Mary's love.

    [Paramount (1)] The soundtrack is great, the head and the tail are good, the middle is quite satisfactory, there are clear eyes, but it lacks aura. Classic lines [Oh, David, David! I just want to fight one more plane for you; oh! Jack, don't do this, it's not your fault] Then the two kissed affectionately.

    Re-examining this movie, from today's point of view, it is almost kicking the cabinet door, but it was as obscure as possible at the time, so the fact that the two female protagonists have any emotional lines will not hinder the main story at all, but I do like Mary a little bit. , while the editing and a few montages of the movie are really good.
