    Therefore, in the end, the road to glory is only hopeless, unprovoked and meaningless. No matter whether it is war or not, human beings must take this road after...

    Going for Kubrick. Without words to say, Kubrick never disappoints. Human nature is despicable and war is absurd, but there is also a bright side of human nature. I used to think that there is a war to be a hero, but now I feel that if that happens, I will be a card drawn, and I will be at the mercy of others. There is actually a charge of cowardice in front of the enemy. I don't like to find someone else's life and use him; in order to achieve my own purpose, I don't like to use...

    5- The screenwriter is great, the war in the war really happens. The filming is also not sloppy, and the film less than 90 minutes can actually have five or six outstanding main characters, and the relationship and interests are also quite outstanding. Camera stick: Firewire push mirror, front heel long mirror with stable trench. There are two regrets: 1. The protagonist has a tendency to deify, and Weiguang is too rigid. 2. English homework. "If those sweethearts won't face German bullets,...

    1. I went to bed late and got up early. I stood in line for another three or four hours to buy tickets. Then I entered the venue after lunch and had a rest. I felt a little tired. 2. The friend's documentary teacher said that the three films "The Road of Glory", "Full Metal Jacket" and "A Clockwork Orange" that she watched in the archive today are the ones she liked the most.

    The operation of the military system was exposed, in addition to fighting patriotism, the more important thing is to use layers of intimidation and sanctions to lead the entire army, and then it will be a dead end. The shot is crisp and precise, and I am moved by Kubrick's lack of...

    Although it is a war movie, the war scene is less than ten minutes. Kubrick is still nakedly interrogating humanity. Because he is Kubrick, he always faces the sins of human nature bravely and always walks ahead of the times. Patriotism is the last refuge of the...

    Supplementary signature, "Patriotism is the best excuse for a scoundrel." The Douglas father and son are really carved out of a mold. The chorus at the end was a...

    The earliest Kubrick work I have seen, recalling the feeling at that time, I remember saying that Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" may also be subtly influenced by the second...

    The battlefield in the eyes of God, 9 points

    While the film doesn't visually compare to Kushin's best films, the long trench shots and famous execution scene at the beginning of the film are still enough to go down in film history.

    The theme of this film is easy to understand and can be summed up in one sentence: Patriotism is when the...

    Lao Ku is really "just didn't have time to express warmth"

    Kubrick is so great, as Robert McKee said, to show the strength of the theme, you must set the power of the anti-theme to be strong enough. The colonel played by Douglas is honest, brave and witty. He just wants to save three innocent soldiers. But in the end, it failed, which is a tragic tragedy....

Paths of Glory quotes

  • Colonel Dax: 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.

  • Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of getting killed.

    soldier in bunk: That's as clear as mud.

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Well, which would you rather be done in by: a bayonet or a machine gun?

    soldier in bunk: Oh, a machine gun, naturally.

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Naturally, that's just my point. They're both pieces of steel ripping into your guts, only the machine gun is quicker, cleaner, and less painful, isn't it?

    soldier in bunk: Yeah, but what does that prove?

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: That proves that most of us are more afraid of getting hurt than of getting killed. Look at Bernard. He panics when it comes to gas. Gas doesn't bother me a bit. He's seen photos of gas cases. Doesn't mean anything to me. But I'll tell you something though, I'd hate like the devil to be without my tin hat. But on the other hand I don't mind not having a tin hat for my tail. Why is that?

    soldier in bunk: You're darn tootin', because...

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Because I know a wound to the head would hurt much more than one to the tail. The tail is just meat but the head- ah, the head is all bone.

    soldier in bunk: That's...

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Tell me this. Aside from the bayonet, what are you most afraid of?

    soldier in bunk: High explosives.

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Exactly, and it's the same with me, because, because I know that it can chew you up worse than anything else. Look, just like I'm trying to tell you, if you're really afraid of dying you'd be living in a funk all the rest of your life because you know you've got to go someday, anyday. And besides...

    soldier in bunk: Yes?

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: If it's death that you're really afraid of why should you care about what it is that kills you?

    soldier in bunk: Oh, you're too smart for me, Professor. All I know is, nobody wants to die.
