Paths of 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 calm, the group of English-speaking French soldiers in "Path of Glory" is really interesting, and the scene where the German woman sings the French soldier's tears at the end is like Which European shot it, it is very touching in its calmness, and human nature seems to have escaped from the cold war and gained warmth.

And once again I feel that great movies are not limited by the type and form, the director will express his understanding of human nature and caring for people in a personalized way, and the authorship will come out.

Paths of Glory short comments

    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 young!

    Kubrick's works before he became a Martian are the taste of traditional masters. Layers of trench iron nets, lonely whistles accompanied by regular and dull artillery fire, the soldiers crawled towards the enemy line as slow as beasts. Human-flesh confrontation, betting on the offensive magic of reputation and official luck! The last part is a classic, the song of the terrified girl, the cannon fodder with the obscene face a minute ago shed pure tears. This resonance can only exist in the bar, not into the commander's ears.

Paths of Glory quotes

  • [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.
