Technically, There were two best pictures of the first Oscar ceremony. The event was held on 16.05.1929, in the "Blues" room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, and it only took 15 minutes to award all the awards. This is because, unlike the Oscars modern telecasts, the winners have already been released a few months ago; The ceremony was only held as a way to secure "prom" for the winners (the one in which Douglas Ferbanks handed over his statues).

The two best images categories were divided by "Kuke". One category was called an outstanding image, while the other was called the best unique and artistic image. William Velman's military EP "Wings" took the former former, "Sunrise: Sunrise: Two People's Song" by JV Murnau, conquering the latter. There were also two best categories of directors that year, with the best director (comedy image) going to Louis a milestone for his film "Two Arab Knights" and the best director (dramatic image) who go to Frank Borzage for "7th Sky". By the time the second Oscars took place on April 3, 1930, the best unique and artistic category of paintings was abandoned, with only the extraordinary image and the best category of directors dropped to just one winner.

By 1940, the highest award was called outstanding production. It turned into a great image of movement in 1941 before it finally became the best picture of movement in 1945. Because of these naming conventions, the "wings" are often considered the first winner of the best images, with "Sunrise" serving as a footnote for filmmakers. This is a pity, because the "sunrise" is a great movie that everyone has to watch.

"Wings" is not a spirit, and there are many impressive film making techniques wrapped around the fully satisfying military trianglebed triangle. And, yes also includes a look of soon Western legend Gary CooperWho plays a supporting role like Bell Cadet. The character is familiar with one of the leadership of the film in one scene, just to be killed in the next.

The central connection in "Wings" is the one between Jackack Powell (Buddy Rogers) and David Amstrong (Richard Arlen), two friendly rivals from the same small city in the middle of the United States and both have hot for local bomber Silvia (Jobina Ralston), while Jackak was a loved one.

During the basic training, David and Jackack become close friends, forming a vital friendship. Jackec also develops into an Azdden pilot who is very beloved by the military. After withdrawing from a dangerous maneuver, he goes to get drunk. This results in a virtuous sequence in which, as Jackec celebrates, the camera seems to be hovering through several tablets, slowly moving through the activities of various discoverers before placing the Jackec as it grows poisoned. Given the pure size and invincibility of the cameras in the late 1920s, this recording required a lot of planning and choreography to withdraw. It is probably your professor to show you (or show you) this party scene on your first day of film school.

The wings climax is an air fight "Top Gun" that is undermined by a tragedy. While David manages to win a bunch of German biples, he is ousted in the process. Fortunately, he survives the crash and steals a German plane to return to the US base. However, Jackec sees the German plane that David flies and lowered it. Oh no! After being told what happened, Jackec was quick to be beside his friend's side while dying. The two men say goodbye to each other, forgiving each other for their offenses and kissing on their lips.

It is magical to see the kiss as a moment of romance between the two, but it is more likely a gesture of intimate tenderness. Some see "wings" As a love foet story between the two menclaiming that the entire film has a significant queen of queer. However, it is just as likely that the modern terms of masculinity were very, very different a century ago and that men were allowed to express their feelings more open. Also, because it was rarely discussed by the general public (the closet was very deep), it is possible that the mass audience saw that two men recognized their feelings towards each other - and kissed their mouths - before leaving the theater, believing that they were simply witnessing two direct men who had a very important friendship. Given the seas of the 20s, it could have easily been the directors' intention.
