Line 1: {{work}} {{Needs Image}} ''[[The Big Parade]]'' is a 1925 silent film directed by King Vidor. The story follows Jim Apperson, an idle rich boy who joins the US Army's Rainbow Division and is sent to France to fight in World War I, becomes friends with two working class men, [[War Is Hell\|experiences the horrors of trench warfare]], and finds love with a French girl. The movie was considered ground breaking for removing the propaganda and glorification of war present in other wars, especially those representing World War I being produced at the time. It won the Photoplay Medal of Honor Award (a precursor to the [[Academy Award\|Oscars]]) in 1925, and is believed to be the highest-grossing film of the 1920s. In 1992 ''The Big Parade'' was ~~selected~~listed ~~for preservation in~~on the United States [[National Film Registry]] by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". ---- Line 30 ⟶ 31: * [[Upper Class Twit]]: Jim, pre-war. * [[War Is Hell]]: Considered to be one of the depiction of this at the time; making it groundbreaking. * [[World War ~~One~~I]] {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 1920s]] [[Category:National Film Registry]] [[Category:World War ~~One~~I]] ~~[[Category~~{{DEFAULTSORT:~~The~~ Big Parade]], The}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Film]]
