    Patriotism is the rogue's last refuge. In just 87 minutes, Kubrick explained to me what human nature is, what war is to do, and true TMD is not the road to glory!! Absurdity is so powerful - war is the highest state of absurdity, and there is nothing in the world The right one - let you fall into it unknowingly and can't extricate yourself, and then grab others indifferently like a walking dead, and then become more and more out of control like a...

    9.8 points, better than "Full Metal Shell". There are not many scenes about war in the movie, and it is more a satire of politics. War is the product of ugly politics. Under this system, personal destiny is forced to sacrifice helplessly, and there is no glory at all. But there are still many directors who fail to see through like Kubrick and go everywhere to preach the "glory" of...

    Trying to simplify the direct bloody and tragic struggles in ordinary war movies, Kushen digs deep into the dark side hidden in the hearts of senior generals. Just like the official residence of the French royal palace, integrity and despicability, as two ends of human nature, are constantly torn apart by meaningless wars. Under the premise of meaninglessness, what is meaningful (glory) is...

    It's all Nima's for a star. The theme reminds me of a short film "Degenerate Art" that I watched a while ago. The patriotic horses are all pretense, all to satisfy selfish...

    The whole film is cold, decisive, and not procrastinating, and the people watching are very worried, especially the execution scene, which is too cold~PS: Mike is just a copy of his father Kirk, do you want it to be like...

    There is a good sarcastic "the life if one of those soldiers means more to me."; and in the end it turned out that a so-called acquired German singer brought the resonance of the French soldiers with her crying...

    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...

    From the end, did Kubrick still believe that human nature is inherently good and that human reason can dispel desire? (Another director who uses the language of film with incredible precision... I always thought that if anyone could make Das Kapital into a movie, it would be Stanley...

    The so-called road to glory is just a road paved with lies, flattery and fallen soldiers ps the beautiful captive at the end is Kubrick's wife pps Kirk Douglas is really a father and son like Mike...

    7 points. Stanley Kubrick is indeed a great director, but this film is not to my liking. Once the success is complete, the war is not a pleasant thing. The three unfortunate people were put to death for various reasons, which seems to be a satire of the system or collectivism, but then I think about it, should it be allowed to flee in fear on the battlefield? This is a dilemma, but the film does not mention it at...

    failure of idealists

    The theme of this film is "failure of idealists", and the script really does a twist and turns against the confidence of idealists. The colonel who really cherishes the soldiers stands out from the top of the army in this film. The bureaucracy at the top of the army is only busy sacrificing...

    Path of Glory

    He was Kubrick, and in 1957 he told about the war, but I learned a life from it.

    When he was young, he often dreamed of being a knight. He leaned on his sword and rode his horse to break through the blue waves and long waves.

    Growing up and realizing it wasn't that simple, Kubrick later said,...

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.
