Mary, a poor farm girl, meets Tim just as word comes that war has been declared. Tim enlists in the army and goes to the battlefields of Europe, where he is wounded and loses the use of his legs. Home again, Tim is visited by Mary, and they are powerfully attracted to each other but his physical handicap prevents him from declaring his love for her. Deeper complications set in when Martin, Tim's former sergeant and a bully, takes a shine to Mary.
用光摄影考究精致，气氛渲染浓郁煽情，这样的爱情片对日后那些有浪漫主义倾向的导演影响深远，从欧洲到亚洲借鉴者比比皆是。。。每一帧画面都好像是米勒的画作一般也真是很神奇。。。PS小脏孩变成了美少女，恋童癖+饲育？结尾多少有点浪漫过头。。。
用鸡蛋洗头好奢侈
白日梦般不愿醒来。珍妮·盖诺的可爱纯粹，让人觉得破镜重圆的俗套是只此一回的幸运。画面上不遗余力地捕捉演员丰富的情感，借配乐布景营造似真似幻的暧昧，一切来得正好。是向往未来和信任情感，将男女主角的距离消除，穿越一场暴风雪走向爱人多不可置信的浪漫
看到最后还挺感动的……本来觉得鸡蛋洗头那句台词怪怪的还以为有什么含义，结果真的是用鸡蛋洗头…… 觉得默片有一个很棒的点是，对话的留白和肢体、神态语言的不确定性给了人很多的想象空间。
这几天连看了三部弗兰克·鲍沙其+珍妮·盖诺+查尔斯·法莱尔，《第七天堂》《马路天使》《幸运星》，刚好27、28、29三年三部。虽然是同一批人而且相隔不到三年，但三部看下来能明显感受到，无论打光、摄影、调度还是表演的调教，电影的各方面都在大踏步地向前迈进，简直就如三级跳一般，连着看下来观感甚是奇妙。另外珍妮·盖诺实在太美了，她刚洗完头炸毛的样子，看上去好性感。。。
