diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 10, 2026 Agora entendo por que ganhou o Oscar, mas perde pontos pela propaganda pró-guerra realmente insana. Este filme era claramente o Exercito dos Estados Unidos a tentar chamar jovens. See more R T @Kezla Jul 7, 2026 Wings is absolutely groundbreaking and impressive for its time. While I mainly watched it for Clara Bow, it's worth a watch for everything else. Especially since this was the first movie to win Best Picture at the first Oscars. See more Dennis K. @dragonintherain Jun 10, 2026 Ok some parts of this film are pretty hooky. It's silent so actors overly emoted. The director was a WW1 pilot and went for authenticity. He filmed the aerial scenes from the planes. The actors actually flew in some of the scenes, absolutely incredible. The love triangle is a bit overdone but in the end works. Amazing they were able to do this film. The planes are not from the war but work very well. I need to give props to the people who restored the Blu Ray I watched. Dedication and love. The extras on the disk are a must watch. I would absolutely recommend it. No CGI. Just nutty pilots and crazy filmmaking. Take a time machine back to the beginning of major film. Enjoy.

A must-see for its spectacle alone, even if the story doesn’t quite hold up.

However, with the creative effects, the cinematography and great story, I can definitely see why this one best picture. While a lot of silent cinema is slapstick, and that does exist here, but man this is a great movie with high octane drama that I didn’t know I could feel in this medium. I love the acting in silent films because you have to over exaggerate and emote harder with your body. Wings doesn’t just do that with comedy, but the subtleties of seeing your loved ones hurt or so close yet so far away. It’s touching and devastatingly powerful. This is honestly one of the best war films to exist. Only limited to the technologies of its time, but man does this movie hit all the right marks. Most war movies are about WW2 or Korea, but to see the perspective of a film about a war prior to those, that it’s not even called World War 1, it’s just war.
