Some films never get old

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2014)

Kubrick never disappoints, or at least that seems to me! He can either make a film about the 1st World War, the exploration of the galaxy or a hotel full of metaphysical horrors, it does not matter, you will always find a great piece of art (but it doesn't mean you're gonna love it!) In this case, Kubrick shows us the sordid horrors of warfare thru a point of view of a colonel who hates the loss of humanity of his superiors, people who thinks and acts in a way totally different to the poor soldiers sent to die in the trenches. The best thing of the film is, doubtless, that Kubrick succeeds in making us hate war and everyone involved in his primary realization and organization...and in just one hour and a half! (Shortest Kubrick film I've ever seen).
The 1st World War setting is excellent as ever. The photography, the costume, the scenarios...just incredibly accurate. Kirk Douglas and the two ''antagonists'' (Adolphe Menjou and George Macready) play great roles.
I doubtless recommend this film, especially if you hate Kubrick longer ones.
