Poslednja scena iz filma.
It is arguably the best film about the
first world war, and still has a reasonable claim to being Stanley
Kubrick's best film. Paths of glory (1957) is now re-released
for the 1914 anniversary: this brilliant tale of macabre futility and
horror in the trenches was adapted by Kubrick, Calder Willingham and
pulp master Jim Thompson from a 1935 novel by Herbert Cobb, in turn
inspired by a real incident.
George Macready plays General Mireau,
an officer who in 1916 orders a suicidally pointless attack on a
German stronghold and after the inevitable fiasco orders three men to
be chosen, by lot, to be shot for cowardice. (Mireau is a cousin to
Sterling Heyden's Brigadier General Jack D Ripper in Dr Strangelove:
calculating percentages of acceptable loss is something that happens
in both films.) The resulting execution scene is like a nauseous
non-crucifixion — three thieves without Christ or three Christs
without a thief.
