Paths of Glory

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2012)

I'm a very big Stanley Kubrick fan. 2001 may be my favorite film of all time. As a fan I decided to check out some of Kubrick's earlier work. And here is Paths of Glory. An anti-war film that tells the story of men who are wrongfully sentenced to death during WWI. There are so many political and social elements in the film, and Kubrick was excellent in detailing it. A very thought provoking film that shows takes you inside a ridiculous circumstance where people lose their rights. Kirk Douglas delivers a fine performance in the film. George Macready is riveting as the antagonist. Paths of Glory is right up there with some of the best war films.
8.5/10
