One of the Best films ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2008)

I feel that still after all its recognition, 'Paths of Glory' is one of the most underrated films ever made. I think it ranks in the top twenty films ever made. Stanley Kubrick's brilliant direction and cinematography go extremely unnoticed, and I think should have won him an Oscar for best direction. Kirk Douglaus gives one of his better performances as Col. Dax. Despite to some belief, this is not an anti-war film. The film is supposed to somewhat of an anti-abuse of power film in a way, as stated by Kubrick. The final scene of the film moved me to tears and is what I consider the most moving and touching scene Kubrick has ever film. If you have not yet seen it, check it out. Amazing film
