    Patriotism is the rogue's last refuge. In just 87 minutes, Kubrick explained to me what human nature is, what war is to do, and true TMD is not the road to glory!! Absurdity is so powerful - war is the highest state of absurdity, and there is nothing in the world The right one - let you fall into it unknowingly and can't extricate yourself, and then grab others indifferently like a walking dead, and then become more and more out of control like a...

    9.8 points, better than "Full Metal Shell". There are not many scenes about war in the movie, and it is more a satire of politics. War is the product of ugly politics. Under this system, personal destiny is forced to sacrifice helplessly, and there is no glory at all. But there are still many directors who fail to see through like Kubrick and go everywhere to preach the "glory" of...

    Trying to simplify the direct bloody and tragic struggles in ordinary war movies, Kushen digs deep into the dark side hidden in the hearts of senior generals. Just like the official residence of the French royal palace, integrity and despicability, as two ends of human nature, are constantly torn apart by meaningless wars. Under the premise of meaninglessness, what is meaningful (glory) is...

    It's all Nima's for a star. The theme reminds me of a short film "Degenerate Art" that I watched a while ago. The patriotic horses are all pretense, all to satisfy selfish...

    The whole film is cold, decisive, and not procrastinating, and the people watching are very worried, especially the execution scene, which is too cold~PS: Mike is just a copy of his father Kirk, do you want it to be like...

    There is a good sarcastic "the life if one of those soldiers means more to me."; and in the end it turned out that a so-called acquired German singer brought the resonance of the French soldiers with her crying...

    Stanley Kubrick's films have a certain temperament, and "Path of Glory" discusses a lot of things, and there is still the kind of temperament of Kubrick in it, about honor, leadership, faith, and even death, true, wait. Appreciate Kubrick's style, although this film is not the most Kubrick! PS. Kirk Douglas was really like his son when he was...

    From the end, did Kubrick still believe that human nature is inherently good and that human reason can dispel desire? (Another director who uses the language of film with incredible precision... I always thought that if anyone could make Das Kapital into a movie, it would be Stanley...

    The so-called road to glory is just a road paved with lies, flattery and fallen soldiers ps the beautiful captive at the end is Kubrick's wife pps Kirk Douglas is really a father and son like Mike...

    7 points. Stanley Kubrick is indeed a great director, but this film is not to my liking. Once the success is complete, the war is not a pleasant thing. The three unfortunate people were put to death for various reasons, which seems to be a satire of the system or collectivism, but then I think about it, should it be allowed to flee in fear on the battlefield? This is a dilemma, but the film does not mention it at...
