In "Dr. Strangelove", Kubrick satirized and revealed the animal nature of the root cause of war, sex, body fluids, androgen, similar to a male aphrodisiac, and also the private vent of a few powerful and sexual fanatics , Dr. Strangelove who finally stood up from the wheelchair and the uncontrollable right-hand Nazi salute is a naked reveal, and this film puts the criticism and reflection on the war in the course of the war and inside the army.

A battle against Ant Hill, a battle with no chance of victory, but the French general Blollard still insisted on ordering Captain Dax to lead the army to carry out this suicidal attack. As a soldier, Dax had to obey the order even though he knew it was a death sentence. The three soldiers who were inquiring about the enemy camp at night accidentally killed another comrade-in-arms with a grenade because of the cowardice of one of the generals. Afterwards, he asked another witness to hide it This is the first time in the film that people's fears and rights can hide the truth. The French army was defeated by heavy German artillery fire, and many French soldiers did not even go out of the trenches under the fierce artillery fire. At this time, Brollard ordered to fire on his own army, the purpose was to blast them out of the trenches and rush to the enemy's position. This crazy act revealed the selfish desires of the rulers. But it is very important for the general to establish his own honor and reputation. Others are hell. In a sense, your own talents are the ones who really want your life. Going back, you will return to "Dr. Strangelove". The three unfortunate scapegoats were sentenced to death by the military court. This is the only way for Brollard to repair his dignity and honor. The three unfortunate scapegoats did not go out or return halfway in the trenches. They have their own reasons and difficulties, but fundamentally The reason can only be fear, fear of death, but the desire to live is the instinct of human beings, but at this moment it has become the evidence of the sentence, and the anti-humanity of war can be seen in such a ruling. Dax is the only character with a sense of justice in the film. He knows everything well and tries to stay away from the black hole of humanity, but his identity as a soldier forced him to be tied to a war machine and become a part, leading the soldiers Rush to the enemy camp again and again, this is a circle with no solution and no exit.

    The war has generally been deeply reflected by human beings after the two world wars, but the relationship between civilization, rights and status still follows the original laws that accompanied the birth of civilization. The road, now it shines with the glory of scientific civilization, can not be questioned and slow down to continue to the unknown front. Kubrick and all human thinking may never have an answer

    This film is very Kurosawa Akira, especially the telephoto battlefield sports lens, which made me shout "Kurozawa Akira"! Kubrick's most complete classical Hollywood realism drama, the early cleverness has not faded, the early juvenile enthusiasm has not faded, and it has not entered the pure Kubrick before the ruthless ridicule of human mental illness. . After reading it, Xin Hengshan felt that he had an appointment with Kushen for an afternoon meeting, and the old man Beihe hugged him at the screen. It was so beautiful.

Paths of Glory quotes

  • Colonel Dax: How many casualties do you expect, sir?

    General Mireau: Say 5 five percent killed by our own barrage. Ten percent more getting through No Man's Land and 20 percent more getting through the wire. Say another 25 percent in actually taking the Anthill and we're still left with a force more than adequate to hold it...

  • Colonel Dax: Let me get this straight, sir. You're offering me General Mireau's command?

    General Broulard: Come, come, Colonel Dax. Don't overdo the surprise.You've been after the job from the start. We all know that, my boy.

    Colonel Dax: I may be many things, sir, but I am not your boy.

    General Broulard: Well, I certainly didn't mean to imply any biological relationship.
