Troisième long métrage de Stanley Kubrick, alors âgé de seulement vingt-neuf ans. Se déroulant à l'époque de la première Guerre Mondiale, on y raconte l'histoire d'un colonel qui se rebelle contre ses supérieurs après que ceux-ci aient envoyé ses hommes dans une mission suicide, ...( read more)
DO I REALLY NEED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT A KUBRICK MOVIE?
let me just say two words about this one: DELICIOUSLY DIRECTED.
Por alguna razon pensaba que esta pelicula iba a ser aburrida y una de las mas debiles de Kubrick, pero resulto siendo una pelicula muy interesante y con una fuerte direccion.-
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
An early masterpiece by Kubrick with an incredibly moving ending.
a great war movie from kubrick. douglas puts in a great performance and the story was well told and very profound. this doesnt play like an anti war film as many claim, it plays more like a film on the evaluation of the philosophy of war. i was drawn into the dilema and emotio...( read more)
''Colonel Dax, you're a disappointment to me. You've spoiled the keenness of your mind by wallowing in sentimentality. You really did want to save those men, and you were not angling for Mireau's command. You are an idealist - and I pity you as I would the village idiot. We're...( read more)
War films are a Hollywood staple starting somewhere back when All Quiet on the Western front gained prominence for being a great adaptation of the famed novel by Erich Maria Remarque. This 1957 film continued that great tradition with another look at the insanity aroused by war. ...( read more)
Love or hate him, Stanley Kubrick was a very talented director. He has covered and conquered a wide range of genres from political satire, to artsy sci-fi, to flat out horror, but it was a war movie that really got him noticed when he made the devastating "Paths of Glory". Not ...( read more)
La mejor cinta antibélica en la historia, el gran Stanley nos regala otra entrega con grandes actuaciones, y sobretodo la historia, un general es ordenado a llevar a cabo una misión imposible, sólo para despues poner en el ojo del huracán la moralidad del ejército americano. Un f...( read more)
Kubrick's best film. From the narrow, noisy and dirty trenches to the opulent, wide and silent high rank officers' estates. One of the most compelling and touching anti-war statements. Kirk Douglas is simply amazing here. The ending magnifies even more this true cinematic marvel.
A film that basically tells us that the men who control and start the wars are evil human beings without conscience or a moral barometer. Probably my favorite Stanley Kubrick film. The image of Kirk Douglas as Col.Dax readying his men as we get a front shot of him walking through...( read more)
Watched it at school. The big funny guy who starts crying is the only memorable part. An okay movie.
great kubrick filmdealing with a true incident in world war 1 involving french soldiors who refused to go charge to there deaths when ordered, and there eventual trial by french goverment, and kurk douglas as sergent defending them, very controvershal for france and was banned fo...( read more)
Arguably, Kubrick's best film. Definitely up there as one of the best anti-war movies ever made. Its message still is applicable to today's current events.
Kubrick's first work of genius, and the first film with a percussion only score. Kirk Douglas is brilliant as a pragmatic idealist fighting a futile battle for justice in wartime.
one of the best from both Kubrick and Douglas. the last 10 minutes or so of this film are absolutely perfect.
It's really incredible to watch this after seeing the others first. All the trademarks are there, if a little less obviously, and it's just as moving and compelling as everything else he's ever done. I love this man.
You see a lot of similarity between this and Full Metal Jacket. For one, the score is repetitive in a good way and the movie ends with a song. Secondly, Kubrick also shows in detail how war can cause people to breakdown. The cinematography of the battle scenes was amazing for its...( read more)
Corporal Paris: See that cockroach? Tomorrow morning, we'll be dead and it'll be alive. It'll have more contact with my wife and child than I will. I'll be nothing, and it'll be alive.

Private Ferol: Now you got the edge on him.
Here's a great movie th...( read more)
Two Kubricks movie back to back & it was like experiencing masterful & versatile film-making.. I'm now his avid fan..
Set in World War I, Paths of Glory is about the trench war-fare between France & germany.. It's about an impossible assault on a heavily-fortified enemy posit...( read more)
Mi pelicula de guerra favorita. Si no te conmueve, deja de ver peliculas y suicidate...
This isn't a war film - it's an anti-war film. As such, it's completely subordinated to making it's point and portaits all characters as single-dimensional, good or bad. Having said that, it's a great work of cinematography with very powerful filming.
Paths of Glory by the impeccable Kubrick is the the ultimate anti war flick. The movie is emotionally charged up and the fabulous direction by Kubrick only adds to the immense effect this movie creates, the trench war scenes were superb and so was that firing squad sequence. Kirk...( read more)
An engaging exploration of the hypocrisy and inhumanity of war. Beautiful b&w cinematography and some of the most american sounding frenchman ever comitted to screen.
Ce serait de mentir effrontément que d'affirmer qu'il s'agit là du film le plus formidable de Stanley Kubrick. Mais ce serait tout aussi effroyable si l'on taisait qu'il s'agit là d'un accomplissement incroyable pour l'un des tout premiers films d'un réalisateur. Quoique, dois-je...( read more)
Impressive antiwar diatribe from Kubrick with a cutting script. Let down slightly by its setting amongst the french army played by plummy british actors. 'BlackAdder Goes Forth' will seem more poignant now.
The irony of the title of Stanley Kubrick's powerful anti-war film cannot be missed. Kirk Douglas plays a colonel in the French army of WWI who is ordered to make a futile attack by an arrogant and effete general for his own personal and ambition fuelled reasons. When the offensi...( read more)
This is a very expressive and powerful wartime film that examines the up close and personal horrors of trench warfare and questions what it truly means to be courageous, dignified and honorable to your fellow compatriots when faced with a life-or-death situation. A failed attempt...( read more)
An anti-war war movie that denounces its absurdity with innocent lives taken only to help glorify a general on a power trip. George Macready is memorable in the role of the evil general Mireau and Kirk Douglas plays the genuine hero who defends his fellow soldiers and make us res...( read more)
I'm not really sure. I'll just keep this on the shelf for awhile.
This is another one of those war movies that isn't about the special effects as it is about the characters and the war experience. It is quite a powerful film and it will not bore you, unless you're really picky about your movies.
This WWI movie is most excellent. Kirk Douglas is a colonel in the French army. His orders are impossible to follow and he lets his superiors know. This is a great antiwar movie.
Although it is in black and white, you can still see the magnificence of the French palaces and t...( read more)
Un général français joué par Kirk Douglas doit organiser une mission suicide.
The expression 'Loving a movie' has never been so true. Paths of Glory is the kind of movie that every film enthusiast would love. The script is great, the acting is perfect (Kirk Douglas is really something). Oh, and Kubrick directed it. It means that I don't have to mention tha...( read more)
