Film eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista. Kubrick dirige con la consueta assoluta maestria un film splendido,che critica in modo feroce la guerra e le sue logiche intestine.Un film di guerra in cui non si vede mai il nemico, ma la cui ricostruzione rende perfettamente l'orrore e la follia che si stà perpetrando.Il finale è poesia,girato e montato in maniera sublime.Un'opera intellettualmente 100 anni avanti.5*

While this film has its virtues, I will never be able to understand its reputation as a masterpiece. It is essentially just a very well crafted wind up. The central characters have no nuance (Dax: all virtue, like Spartacus, Broulard: all politician, Mireau: all scoundrel). The narrative, as I said, winds up and releases, with all the explicitly outlined ducks in a row. Not much room for exploration. 4/5

Some great moments (Kirk Douglas walking through the trenches!) by Kubrick, but overall I felt a lack of character development. Behind those uniforms are only war movie clichés.

    Não!? Estavas mesmo num sono profundo. :) Que clichés identificas; e, especificamente, que falta de desenvolvimento das personagens dizes existir? Penso precisamente o contrário. Julgo que, como filme de guerra, é altamente inovador e perspicaz. No entanto, a pergunta é, apesar de não parecer, completamente inofensiva e cordial, respeito a opinião.

    Tive problemas principalmente na personagem do General Mireau, nas vezes em que já vimos aquela figura de poder e de maldade pura antes e depois deste filme. Acho uma fórmula demasiado simples, demasiado fácil que se alastra a outras personagens também. Mas também compreendo o que dizes quando falas na perspicácia do filme, como filme de guerra. Admito também que ter lido a folha da cinemateca do filme condicionou esta minha visão das coisas.

A great try to present all that is inglorious behind the glory.

A weak start, but an overall excellent film on war, government, and the self-interest issues inherent in hierarchical structures of authority.

Best two scenes: When Kirk Douglas is walking through the trench before the attack, with the long tracking shot. The battle sequence, another tracking shot of Kirk Douglas

perfectly paced, an incredible performance by Kirk Douglas, and has some of the best battle footage in any movie I've seen. A masterpiece and to me, Kubrick's best.

favorite line (paraphrase): look at that cockroach. tomorrow he'll be alive and i won't.... favorite scene: (a no brainer) colonel daxs' apology.... perfectly blends humour (quite often in a subtle manner) and fine drama.......

The absolut nonsense of war and men in a tight 88 minute tour de force by Kubrick, Kirk Douglas and George Macready.

Ugh. So full of cheese. Yes, war is bad, this movie is just a long series of sanctimonious speeches to that effect. Great job!

I feel in this more than anything, Kubrick defined the style that marks his career from here on in. The ending of this story is what makes it an iconic anti-war movie.

A truly remarkable movie about the absurdity of war and the fragility of human psyche during hard times. Powerful ending.

The whole meaning of the movie can be seen in the final scene: war is meaningless, hate between different nations is stupid, and that's shown by the fact even French soldiers can feel moved by a German popoular song about a man going to war.

Intelligently made and well-acted, but it somehow doesn't carry the emotional wallop that it should, perhaps because it feels rather too calculated an exploration of human vanity.

After I watched Paths of Glory and Spartacus in order, I can say it clear I prefer "Paths of Glory" more.

Not one of Kubrick's better films. However, it still captured me, just not in the usual Kubrickian way. Oh his cinematography is there all right, but something was a bit off for me...

This movie made my blood boil, and the ending scene gave me chills. Kirk Douglas is amazing! I love how he's still around with us today.

I want to live in the dimple on Kirk Douglas's chin.
