A Must See For Any Human Being

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2015)

I must admit, before Paths of Glory I had not seen many films set during WWI and only know what was taught in school. This movie however seems to agree with facts I had learnt which makes the movie all the more raw. From start to finish Paths of Glory is a gritty dramatization of what conflict looked like during WWI. The movie shows many layers of depth from inside the mansion of the bourgeoisie, all the way into the hearts and minds of the men fighting on the front. As a fan of other Kubrick's anti-war films I thought I had an idea of what to expect going into this film but once again Kubrick greatly exceeds all preparation. Bravo.
