Path of Glory Review

The path of glory is nothing but leads to the grave. Thoughts on Film Techniques Describe the German-French War during World War I, but there is no German army in the whole chapter. This is similar to Nolan's expression of Dunkirk. Nolan used the complexity of the multi-line narrative of one hour a day a week to express the complexity of the Dunkirk retreat, but because the ending of Dunkirk is known, no matter how complicated it is The narration pales in the face of simple facts, but the 100-minute audience can still enjoy it with the 3D effects and the audio-visual effects of speaker bombing. Kubrick's description of the war has only two places. One is the reconnaissance of Lieutenant Roget, Corporal Paris and Private Lejeune before the attack. There are only three people crossing the barbed wire in the trenches. With the tense drumbeat, one is shot down. planes, and lighting flares at extreme tension. The second was the attack on Ant Hill, with everyone down low, barbed wire everywhere, equipment scattered in the trenches and fallen soldiers to demonstrate the impossibility of the attack. The sense of oppression in the war scene is very infectious, comparable to the sinking of the Dunkirk ship, and more than the bombing of Dunkirk by planes, hiding in the ship from German gunfire. Thinking about the content The setting of the movie content shows the master's skills. Major General George Broulard seduces Brigadier General Paul Mireau with a star. They are very close to each other by their names. Paul's pacing in the magnificent living room shows his Wandering, but claiming that he cares more about the life of the soldiers than the rank, George played a trick with Wei Snake, and the two paced back and forth to fight for two rounds, and finally returned to the center of the room to reach an agreement to attack Ant Hill. Mireau personally went to the front to supervise the battle, and reviewed the soldiers "Ready to kill more Germans" before the battle. When meeting with Colonel Dax, he said that he did not like to sit and did not understand the officers who sat in the chair and gave orders. The scars on his face It seems that he has been battle-hardened, but in fact is extremely hypocritical. He calculates the estimated number of survivors, and conquers Ant The possibility of Hill, Dax says patriotism is the last refuge of the despicable, Mireau is furious and threatens Dax with dismissal, Dax has to agree. Then there is Roget, Paris and Lejeune's investigation, Roget drinks alcohol before the action, and kills Lejeune due to cowardice during the operation. Then there is the failed attack. Afterwards, Mireau organizes a military court to punish the timid in the attack, which is the essence of the film. The more and more legitimate defenses of the three were refuted one by one, and they were forcibly convicted. The facts laid out for the lawyer's Dax before the war were easily dismissed. Dax found Broulard and ordered Mireau to bombard his position to save the lives of the three soldiers. Broulard agreed on the surface, but actually used it as a handle to bring down Mireau. It's also very interesting here, no matter if Broulard asked Mireau before, or Dax asked Broulard, they first greeted each other and left before throwing out their real intentions. The lives of the three soldiers were still lost in the end, and there was no turbulent death. All defenses must be useless. The complex human nature is revealed in the final scene. Before the war, the soldiers molested the captured German woman, but when she sang a familiar song, the soldiers were in tears. This is the human nature left over from their war. In the war, the hypocrisy and interests of the superiors are entrenched, and the soldiers are like rats with only basic animal instincts. Even if the integrity is as Dax, there is only useless idealism, and the belief will not pass through many obstacles in the end, and it will only be ridiculed as a hypocrite when it is extended. That's the horror of war twisting people's hearts. There is only useless idealism, and beliefs can't pass through many obstacles in the end, and they can only be promoted, but they can only be ridiculed as hypocrites. That's the horror of war twisting people's hearts. There is only useless idealism, and beliefs can't pass through many obstacles in the end, and they can only be promoted, but they can only be ridiculed as hypocrites. That's the horror of war twisting people's hearts.

    [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.

  • 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...
