Paths Of Glory(1957): A Movie Review ♟️

avatar

Hello Movie Lovers,

Greetings to all of you.I do hope that you are all been passing a beautiful time before the set box and your pastimes being spent for the enjoyable moments at the feat of watching films you like and the other you see as a default choice. Right? We all feel the thril of looking at the shots that portray our favourite actors on the tv screen. Its really unmatched to any other forms of entertainment.

Movies. Basically a great aspect of life that showcases something that we dont get to see normally in our real life, rather which is deep in the realm of our thoughts and that we witness the broader influx of imagination that glides through the ages of time ; just a little push from the actual time of present and a peep through the past & future - thats what I feel special in movies I personally like and set that on my priority list.

Today I would criticise and review a movie that I think here noteworthy enough to be shared with you and a strong story that might be shared with you. One thing I would like, is the tone of gossipy expression, and which I would expect that you get right in the end of the writing. Movie, the title in the headline really gives off a sense of something historic, something bold and the visual plots that carry the tone of significance.So, lets not talk too much and lets delve in the core discussion.

The word glory itself is a word which I suppose cary a big meaning, not in the life that we all lead in general, but greatly in a few specific sectors of human life ;one is in the political stream of life and the other which is the regimental army, the troops and the militia, who are particularly appointed as to protect the nation and in some cases relatively to follow the commands in the times of warefare and when strifes take place badly.

The movie paths to glory takes us to a place where guns blaze and missile roars,the bullets pierce the black jackets and the stains of blood at the store fronts, on the streets and the battlefield gradually go deeper in the sense of the extreme situations. This is such a movie that wouldnt give you the full quota of your satisfaction if you are a beauty lover and the aesthetically driven a spectator, but the seriously delivered nature of life in a battlefield is what being visualized greatly by the production team.

The movie follows a history, and by the way we also do get to see the historical connection that far so long time been a massive part of the 20th century two big happenings, the world wars at an interval of two decades time, when the super powers of thr world battled their best of the strengths to wear the crown of the superiority ; gaining control and implementing the full set of the imperialistic attitude, that only the sole objective of the life is to get into war and win over the war and extend the national flag to international arena's and thats what happened.

France army and the Germans did play the actual role in the film and it is the portryal of some of the events that showcase some of thr hidden facts that the public and the general people didnt get to see in the real life. French govt actually didnt like the way the film being captured and so the national agency proscribed it until 1975.But,yet if you are an avid fan of warlike movies and love actions like me, possibly you could find interest watching the movie.

The second phase of the movie takes us to an event where the plot depicts the period of the movie being over, the military prosecution arranging a trial to punish some of the soldiers who didnt have enough courage to dare to defy the rules, and fight against the enemy rather who fled away from the field. The prosecution ordered them to be executed and so they were being kept at the prison cell as a condemned criminal --in a seemingly endless await for the exact time of arrival and the death to cover them all.

The two condemned prisoners being busy at the conversations with each other, chatting for the final times and remembering their best times of youth that were being spent on the academy, how they travelled to long distances and the last few hours left before entering into a new realm, which is far far away from the present life and the anticipation of the time. One prisoner talks with the other, that the spider on the wall, next to them will live tomorrow, but they wont. That scene creates a very harrowing depiction of the movie.

What I think as true is that, despite a warlike movie, even if it looks good and in reaity the fantasy of it turns out untold terrific devastation in reality. A war not only kills a thousands people, but it threatens the existence of mankind and the living being altogether. Sometimes its the ruling class which destroys the nation to great extents and their whim choices discommode the whole country and the citizens suffer for it. The movie is an excellent example of it.

The movie stars Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meaker, Richard Anderson as the lead actor and to me they performed really well and which is a great scene to watch. The cinematography has to be appreciated greatly because each time I try to find the speciality of the movie, I notice the close angled shots and the shade of color and light, the figure based camera rolling and the distinct sense of spatial reasoning, which implicates the depth of touch and experience that the director has.

In the end I would rate it 7.5/10 in the broad scale view,a very good film to watch and if you havent seen that yet, I would say if you like a bit of history and a bit of war and compact actions,then dont miss it, because this piece has it all.

Thanks For Reading.

There are so many good movies and we do not have enough time to see them all, I had never heard of this one I guess because of how old it is, however, I like movies with historical connection, I guess because of how you describe it is super good, I do not know if I'm going to see it, but it caught my attention.
