影评：
第18届法罗岛电影节第8个放映日为大家带来《第七天堂》，下面请看前线在地下社会中风华绝代的小夫妻的评价了！
果树：
拥有美好的意像，从片中洋溢的真诚中，能让人回想起热爱电影的理由。
风临：
一战后的好莱坞就是要比同期的欧洲电影好看啊，剪辑已经行云流水了（也是因为之后的观影习惯就来自这一套剪辑规则），摄影机该动动该稳稳，剧本对观众的各种点都把握得非常精准。完全不同于其他地区参差不齐，各有各风的观影障碍。这样讨人爱的情节剧怎么可能不爱，女主角风华绝代！！！第一届影后当之无愧！以及，我特别喜欢这个房子的设计。
Morning：
珍妮盖诺贵为第一届奥斯卡影后，当年获奖它坐拥几部电影，这样的作品厚度和广度甩开了举世一半的演员。这部电影十分疯狂，一半是小人物的生活，有信仰，有救赎，过渡到战争又十分的自然，不是技法上的，就是很厉害的将人引入到真实的命运描绘之中，那些场面再与平民主角交织在一起，变得很有温度和分量。电影里上校说，the world is upside down—— ideals,beliefs,traditions,all in the discard! 出现在这样的无声电影里，对战争的一种评价，很震撼。
子夜无人：
情爱戏其实不太觉得动人，尤其比照同年的《日出》更是相形见绌，而且前半段的场次段落始终极富舞台感，直到战争戏强势介入之后才有了豁然开朗的、更加电影化的调度。这段爱情关系对于女主角最大的意义其实是鼓动了她的自我觉醒，从反抗姐姐的鞭子到拒绝军官求爱时所说的“他在天边拼命，我在眼前拼命”，她终于把自己作为了一个独立的人、放在了与其他人平等对视的位置上，这大概也是爱情本身最美妙的可能性。
北阳向暖：
风华绝代，很细腻也很真诚，战争和爱情的融合并不容易。
我们敏熙：
最后那束光，来自天堂。扣分点在于此种美式爱情片，就算主角是社会底层人物，但影片绝不会落地。
我略知她一二：
"情深深雨濛濛，多少楼台烟雨中，记得当初 你侬我侬，车如流水马如龙，尽管狂风平地起，美人如玉剑如虹。啊情深深雨濛濛，世界只在你眼中，相逢不晚为何匆匆，山山水水几万重，一曲高歌千行泪，情在回肠荡气中。啊情深深雨蒙蒙，天也无尽地无穷，高楼望断情有独钟，盼过春夏和秋冬，盼来盼去盼不尽，天涯何处是归鸿。"
苍山古井空对月：
默片时代的好莱坞情节剧似乎都会成为后来这类型影视题材的范本，但是与后来者相对比依然有其可取之处。男女主角的表演让人物形象丰满，默片的形式使得影片少台词而重肢体和表情的细腻演绎。室内空间的构造略有集成表现主义的风格，同时以空间的调度暗示人物的关系：如上楼梯的垂直上升镜头、屋内男女主的空间关系交代，正是这些因素，影片不会因其题材而显得过时，也不仅有历史价值。本片与其他同年的默片相同之处，是创作者们都有了使用音效模拟真实声音的意识，有声电影的出现自然是一个可见的趋势。
##第8日的场刊将于稍后释出，请大家拭目以待了。
A triple bill of Hollywood’s prototypal producer-director Frank Borzage, who is the first director nabbing two Oscars for Best Director honor, one for 7TH HEAVEN. Although there were two trophies for directors in the very first year of the Academy Awards, Borzage won in directing Dramatic Picture and Lewis Milestone won in directing Comedy Picture for TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS, 1927, which was a one-off thing. And 4 years later, Borzage propitiously copped another golden statuette for BAD GIRL.
Borzage’s camera begins to move both horizontally and vertically (that stories-spanning shot must’ve been a revelation at then!) in his WWI tearjerker 7TH HEAVEN, a thrice Oscar-winning picture (Janet Gaynor reaped the very first Best Actress award for her collective achievement in this film, Murnau’s SUNRISE and STREET ANGEL, Borzage’s follow-up to 7TH HEAVEN), and kick-starts the appealing pairing of Gaynor and Charles Farrell, they would eventually make 12 pictures together.
Also worth citing is that some rudimentary sound effects are experimented in this largely silent film, including a theme song titled “Diane”. 7TH HEAVEN is a gutter-dwelling romantic union between an atheist sewer cleaner turned street sweeper Chico (Farrell, a strapping stripling) and Diane (a waif-like Gaynor sparkles with elfin charm on top of her bent for staggering pathos), a piteous girl abused by her alcoholic sister Nana (Brockwell, a full-boded incarnation of vileness). It is about how a sensitive girl gets smitten by her ebullient knight in shining armor and what does it take to make him realize his reciprocal feelings for her. In Borzage’s conception, a proletariat love isn’t a coup de foudre, it gutters, simmers, even wavers, only attains its wholeness through a rite of passage, here actualized by the accursed WWI, and an undimmed conviction of faith, where they can truly be united by an unalloyed mutual love that is worth living for.
Borzage’s innovations of his craft bulk large in 7TH HEAVEN. Besides the camera’s new-gained mobility, the striking compositions from a manhole or a staircase, the full-scale frontline hell-mouth and massive movements that are teeming with people, Diane in her wedding dress resembling a divine ascension, and Chico and Diane’s final embrace enlightened by a chink of light, these are all evidences that attest Borzage is a meritorious winner to receive his laurels.
