If Wings hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: black and white
The difference: Trades the momentum of Wings for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: black and white
The difference: 31 years apart, and the 1950s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: battlefield

Both land stillness and bleakness at once

Romantic where it counts, tender underneath

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Both are working the same pair: love triangle, silent film


Action built on tenderness, twice over

Contemplative war, and it commits to that

Drama with a pulse of bleakness, in both cases

In the mood for more contemplative?
