    US/GB, R: Stanley Kubrick, D: Kirk Douglas, Wikipedia

    PATHS OF GLORY disects power, temptation, manipulation and consequently severe disconnects from reality and ultimately humanity. Kubrick shows a war beneath the war – a war for a decency and humanity which both were stripped off of people by the actual war, both in the hostile environment of the trenches and decadent and above all safe residences of higher up military leadership.

    Gentlemen of the court, there are times when I am ashamed that I am a member of the human race and this is one such occasion.

    Kubrick portrays soldiers as vulnerable human beings instead of pseudo-heroic combat machines only running on duty and pride and reveals that the only path to real glory is remaining human.
