Road to Glory without Glory

Corporal Paris in the cell couldn't figure out why he, who was brave and fearless on the battlefield, was sentenced to death for the crime of cowardice?

Rather than showing the destruction of life and civilization by war, good war films will always go a little further, exploring the cruel trials of human nature in extreme scenarios. "Paths of Glory" is one of the brightest of them all,...

There must be a loud slogan before the war, for the motherland

Like "Gun Fire", this film is only more than 80 minutes long, but it shows a complete social class. The two films that cannot be fast-forwarded at all and are unwilling to fast-forward are full of details, and the pictures are full of jokes and ridicules.
It begins with a game of two generals. Milo's conscience can't win the words of fame and fortune. Originally rational analysis and calm thinking, after hearing Brollard's instigation, how could he still sit still. Give it a go, a...

"Road to Glory"

This is really good to watch, a cowardly captain, a hypocritical general, a righteous colonel, a crazy war machine, a ridiculous story. He has a kind of wrestling and tension between the sentimental, compassionate and moral human nature symbolized by the colonel and the rational and cruel war machine that envelops the fate of mankind. Similar war fable to Doctor Strangelove, but I love this one more. "A Clockwork Orange" has many dialogues like Quentin, "2001: A Space Odyssey" is silent and...

"Road to Glory" 2018.07.28

A film with a particularly strong gunpowder smell about skin color, and the whole film has racial conflicts all the time. It is also because of this taste, coupled with the intense basketball game, that this film is extremely bloody. In the previous era, it suddenly reminded me of a sentence in "World of Warcraft": "Race does not represent glory, I have seen the most noble orcs, and I have seen the most despicable human beings!"
Adapted from a true story, the protagonist coach played...

About Glory

There is a novel written about World War II, but the content in it is very absurd, but I forgot the name. Wang Shuo said in the three-person line that those civilians like to fight, they don’t understand war at all, those soldiers They don't want to fight. Soldiers don't exist as human beings. They are state machines, but who isn't.
I have been disappointed for a long time about human nature, but I can't find the reason, and the reason for my disappointment is that I don't even...

Therefore, in the end, the road to glory is only hopeless, unprovoked and meaningless. No matter whether it is war or not, human beings must take this road after...

Going for Kubrick. Without words to say, Kubrick never disappoints. Human nature is despicable and war is absurd, but there is also a bright side of human nature. I used to think that there is a war to be a hero, but now I feel that if that happens, I will be a card drawn, and I will be at the mercy of others. There is actually a charge of cowardice in front of the enemy. I don't like to find someone else's life and use him; in order to achieve my own purpose, I don't like to use...

5- The screenwriter is great, the war in the war really happens. The filming is also not sloppy, and the film less than 90 minutes can actually have five or six outstanding main characters, and the relationship and interests are also quite outstanding. Camera stick: Firewire push mirror, front heel long mirror with stable trench. There are two regrets: 1. The protagonist has a tendency to deify, and Weiguang is too rigid. 2. English homework. "If those sweethearts won't face German bullets,...

Movie quotes

Colonel Dax: Gentlemen of the court, there are times when I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race and this is one such occasion. It's impossible for me to summarise the case for the defence since the Court never allowed me a reasonable opportunity to present that case.

General Mireau: Are you protesting the authenticity of this court?

Colonel Dax: [pause] Yes, sir. I protest against being prevented from introducing evidence which I considered vital to the defence; the prosecution presented no witnesses; there has never been a written indictment of charges made against the defendants, and lastly, I protest against the fact that no stenographic records of this trial have been kept.

[pause]

Colonel Dax: The attack yesterday morning was no stain on the honour of France, and certainly no disgrace to the fighting men of this nation. But this Court Martial is such a stain, and such a disgrace. The case made against these men is a mockery of all human justice. Gentlemen of the court, to find these men guilty would be a crime, to haunt each of you till the day you die. I can't believe that the noblest impulse for man - his compassion for another - can be completely dead here. Therefore, I humbly beg you... show mercy to these men.
[first lines]

Narrator of opening sequence: War began between Germany and France on August 3rd 1914. Five weeks later the German army had smashed its way to within eighteen miles of Paris. There the battered French miraculously rallied their forces at the Marne River and in a series of unexpected counterattacks drove the Germans back. The front was stabilized then shortly afterwards developed into a continuous line of heavily fortified trenches zigzagging their way five hundred miles from the English Channel to the Swiss frontier. By 1916, after two grisly years of trench warfare, the battle lines had changed very little. Successful attacks were measured in hundreds of yards, and paid for in lives, by hundreds of thousands.
[last lines]

[Col. Dax listens to his regiment humming in the tavern]

Sgt. Boulanger: Sir?

Colonel Dax: Yes, sir.

Sgt. Boulanger: We have orders to move back to the front immediately.

Colonel Dax: Well give the men a few minutes more, Sergeant.

Sgt. Boulanger: Yes, sir.
