This is flat out one of my favorite films. Everything in this is so good that I was blown away the first time I saw it in college. I immediately went to amazon and ordered the blu ray for my own collection. If you've never seen it, do it now. The plot in this is great because we jump from sequence to sequence in a very logical, perfectly timed way. No, the whole movie does not take place on the front line. Instead we go through the whole process for what happens early on to see how it fully effects the soldiers. I get so furious every time I watch this at the dickhole characters. Seriously, go watch this.

I went in thinking this would be a war movie and got a war movie and a court drama and an analysis of human behavior all in the same movie. Kirk Douglas gives a terrific performance. The war scenes are great and the effects hold up pretty well. The court room stuff is interesting and made me mad. The whole story is messy and there is no clear answer. War is hell.

Paths Of Glory This film is a product of it's time, especially when it comes to the acting, but it still works well today. Great camera work. Where this film gets me, is the display of WWI and the incompetence and disregard of life by high command. 8.5/10 #NicksMiniReview https://t.co/GMDXL5HeCX

I wasn’t expecting the second half of this movie to be a courtroom drama, but honestly that made the film so much more interesting than just another war movie. The most gripping thing is the way that the higher ups are talking about the lives of their soldiers. It’s haunting how little they care.

An early passion project from writer/director Stanley Kubrick, _Paths of Glory_ was a troubled and unlikely film from the beginning. After he paired critical success with box office disappointment in _The Killing_, MGM was anxious to score a hit with the nascent director. His suggestion, a fictional More

"Col. Dax" (Kirk Dougas) is cajoled by "Gen. Broulard" (Adolphe Menjou) into taking his Great War weary regiment on one last mission in occupied France. Frankly, it's little better than a suicide one, but his operational commander "Gen. Mireau" (George Macready) is determined at all costs that they More

**A short and objective film, with a clear and still relevant message, as well as a huge performance by Kirk Douglas.**

There are several films about World War I, but it is far from being seen by the public as one of the best. In fact, it seems to me a little forgotten today. It is, however, time More

Madness and Patsies Crash Together In Kubrick's Explosive Thunderbolt.

Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory is holding up rather well these days, in fact it's as pertinent and relevant as ever.

It's 1916 and the French and German armies are in opposing mud trenches, when the French are ordered to More
