If Wings hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: black and white
The difference: None of the momentum Wings is built on

Both keep coming back to the same thing: battlefield
The difference: 30 years apart, and the 1950s show

One thread runs through both: black and white

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

Two things both keep coming back to: friendship and world war i

Both land stillness and bleakness at once

Romantic where it counts, tender underneath

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Common ground: 1910s

Both are built on the same subject: silent film
The difference: Sits closer to comedy than Wings does

Action built on momentum, twice over

Romantic romance in both cases
In the mood for more contemplative?
