the beginning of the movie. When the incomparably regular and comforting drum beats sound.

I was thinking, it was Kubrick.

The fluttering at the beginning of "Dr. Strangelove", the serious tension at the beginning of "Path of Glory". It sets the tone for the entire movie from the very beginning. The expression of the film begins from the beginning of the film. And then from start to finish, it's all rigorous from the beginning. rhythm.

A very famous episode of Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry, who are famous pianists, play the piano and play the piano. Every finger that the miraculous Tom fell. Each key is perfectly in tune with the classical music in the background. Enough MGM to boast centuries of bullshit. It's a pity that this rigorous tone only exists in documentaries now.

From the 19th century. Impressionism began to completely defeat the classical school in the Salon. The so-called art is completely popularized. Quite a few of my predecessors were there to brag that art was always improving. But seriously compared to the Renaissance. Even the Middle Ages, even after the age of ancient Greek city-states. What we can really see is. Art is getting lazy and degenerate. There are more and more schools, technologies, and expressions. Go further and further down the road of bells and whistles. (I may have gone a little too far)

I just wanted to ask. Can you stop thinking about so many skills and do a piece of work seriously and rigorously? Art is private. Don't think about it so much.

    Personal best. At the end of the film, the soldiers whistled and booed at a German girl who had been caught. I think Kubrick is really deep, and the darkness of human nature has been dug deep. But the girl sang a German song, and the French soldiers gradually became quiet and gradually hummed with her. I realized that this is truly profound, and Kubrick has retained the last glorious and dignity of being a human being.

    Kubrick's war films are not as simple as war. His works always use absurd methods to explore human nature on the surface of war. This is the case with the full metal shell, and this film is also the same. It was meticulous, especially that officer, who was more than domineering, he was simply not human. The group of soldiers tried their best, but he executed them for an unwarranted crime. 5 stars

Paths of Glory quotes

  • [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.

  • 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...
