When I was first putting this together, I got confused between Paths of Glory and Blades of Glory. I was expecting to get posters showing that Will Ferrell movie about skating, but it was a different film altogether.

So in terms of Paths of Glory, has anyone seen it? It is a World War One film this time, compared to the more numerous World War Two movie catalogue.

I've seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but it didn't really click that much with me.
 
D-Pad being pathetic again. Paths of Glory is Kubrick's best film. Absolutely brutal war movie and courtroom drama. Superbly efficiently done, one of Kubrick's shortest films, no meandering, perfect pacing and cinematography.

Rabbit lmao, that movie isn't even good. There's no doubt its voters never heard of Paths of Glory.

It's not a pure war movie. Enemy is never shown in it.

Stupidly planned suicide attack on enemy trench goes as expected: total failure and massive casualties. Some soldiers refuse to go, 3 of them are picked randomly (not really) to be court martialed for cowardice and are to be shot. Their commanding officer played by Kirk Douglas defends them at a trial. It's based on a real story that happened in 1915.

It's one of the best films of all time.

I appreciate war movies that have different perspectives in them, without going too far into wokeism/some other perversion. It helps to learn about different perspectives. I wish more films these days could learn how to explore alternative views without shoving it down peoples throats too hard.
