Incredible to see the scale of this movie/sets and camera work at such an early time.

I think this was my first ever silent film I’ve seen.

I actually liked it a lot since it kept you looking at your screen to see what they were saying instead of listening to it.

While I think this film isn’t really as appreciated in the big 2026 as it was in 1927 where it was a huge hit and success at the time I still enjoyed seeing what the first best motion picture looked like and where it all sort of began.

Obviously it felt very long and most of the film is just war and more war but I liked the characters and their overall dynamics and relationships with each other a lot.

Overall I’m glad I decided to finally watch this and learn more about what movies were like way back in the 1920s.

Honestly did not love this but I feel like it’s just too outdated to be appreciated in 2026. Im sure it was probably good at the time and groundbreaking when it was released.

I struggled most with the music. It did not match the storyline and seem to fit at all. It was hard to get past that for me.

Very cool though to see where our best picture movies started and how far they’ve come though!
