The Big Parade (1925)

I have to admit that I didn't pay enough attention while watching this movie to get more than the bare essentials of the plot, but I could still recognize that this was a really well shot, and well paced movie. It felt like a real movie. It felt like it wasn't an old movie, but a more recent movie.

The most notable scene to me was the one where all of the soldiers were marching in a line and getting picked off one by one by the enemy. Even though they were slowly getting picked off, they kept marching, ignoring the people who got shot. It was a really powerful image on its own, but the music chosen for it made it even more powerful. In this scene I saw something that I've never quite seen before, which I didn't expect that to happen while watching such an old movie, so good on you, The Big Parade.



 Oh boy, I hope we don't treep!
