"Road to Glory"

(Personal essay, informal film review)

1. The long shot of visiting soldiers in the trenches shortly after the opening has a feeling of deja vu, especially with a little music, it is especially ironic! It's like watching a domestic anti-Japanese movie when I was a child, and the devils enter the village!

2. "The captain is the most individual in the French army." As a soldier, isn't it the first thing to obliterate personality?

3. A level-by-level order, accompanied by expectations and disappointments, can only bite the bullet and take over the task. This is like a familiar joke. A unit takes over a project, then contracts it to the next level, and then subcontracts it to the next level. Level 1, then I gave it to a cook, and finally this is a tofu dregs project

4. Brainwashing military orders, wine is strong and cowardly, Xiawei is also a coward, but there is no way, after all, in the face of death and war, the only blame can be blamed for the low rank

5. A few soldiers jumped over obstacles to carry out the reconnaissance mission. The cutscene is used in many Kubrick movies. It makes people feel very depressed. Exposed in a second!

6. Before going to the battlefield, the two soldiers were discussing that they were not afraid of death, but were afraid of being injured. It was better to be slaughtered than to be shot by machine guns. It sounded cruel and familiar. Because the war has distorted many people's view of life and death!

7. The most senior general is a laughing tiger. It is said that people who love to laugh will not have bad luck, but they are too stupid!

8. In fact, in the trenches, the officer was timid and wanted to retreat, then threw a thunderbolt to kill his teammates, and came back to argue with another corporal. This process is exactly the same as the conflict between the captain and the general.

9. Don't look for the cause of the problem, just look for the person who bears the result of the problem! It's the same logic as not solving the problem, just solving...

10. The trial of these three people is very similar to the scene where Zhou Xingchi's domestic Ling Lingqi was shot. Before, in Tang Bohu's point of Qiuxiang, there was also a spoof scene that used Kubrick's full metal shell. Like Kubrick movies?

11. "If you repent now, you will be like a hypocrite." This paragraph is still very human. It may be because of the age. When you have to face the fear of death, except for crying, there is not much depression. Maybe during the war. In the middle, the three have long been used to seeing life and death!

12. Captain is a man of understanding

13. I feel that the soundtrack always has some sarcasm in it

14. In the military, all moral standards are "0"

15. The road to the execution ground is long! The cry was harsh and disturbing!

16. Ridiculous, I was expecting someone to stop all this before I left, until a group of people opened fire, and then there was a dinner conversation between the two upper-level executives. Everything went so smoothly, it made people shudder!

14. The singing of the last German girl is to make everyone calm down and think about the meaning of the war and what just happened, and before the singing ends, the war begins again...

15. Long live patriotism ................................

Ps. Michael Douglas looks so much like his dad!

    Don't doubt God's will, these satanic officers were sent by God to carry out the divine will; the display of patriotism must rely on anti-human means; the soldiers who rushed to the dust and looked at death in their own homes burst into tears? You deserve it, who told you not to die on the battlefield; "We will fight to win the war, those people did not fight, so they were killed", killing soldiers leads to victory. Seen the best of Kubrick so far.

    Gentlemen of the court, there are times that I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race and this is one such occasion.

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.
