Paths of Glory I 1957 Directed by Stanley Kubrick TCM BREAKFAST CLUB SCREENING Paths of Glory I 1957 Directed by Stanley Kubrick The precocious talent of Stanley Kubrick had already come to public attention when, still in his late 20s, he made Paths of Glory in 1957. A year earlier he revealed his extraordinary gifts as both storyteller and motion picture craftsman with the noir-influenced crime thriller The Killing. Bleak and sombre, Paths of Glory was released when America was not, for once, embroiled in military conflict. While World War II had ended twelve years earlier and Korea’s ceasefire was into its fifth year, their legacy was still an agonising issue for thousands of bereaved families and injured ex-service personnel, not to mention the increasingly idealistic generation of young Americans whom John F Kennedy would find so receptive to his political creed three years later. Paths of Glory, with its powerful anti-war message, would therefore have struck a chord with many, says TCM writer David Humphrey Kubrick adapted Paths of Glory from Humphrey Cobb’s 1935 ambitious General Mireau (George Macready) orders a regiment novel, whose title Cobbs had cribbed from a line in Thomas on a suicidal mission to take a hill thinking it will enhance his Gray’s famous poem Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard: chances of promotion. He leaves the planning to a disbelieving Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas), who can see the operation is The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, doomed. And so it proves - the mission is a complete failure. And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, None of the French troops reaches the German stronghold, with Awaits alike th'inevitable hour. a third of them not even leaving the trench either because they The paths of glory lead but to the grave. can see the pointlessness of the assault or are pinned down by enemy fire. Furious, the French general orders his own artillery The film takes its inspiration from the true story of five French to open fire on them to scare them into leaving.

  • PATHS of GLORY (U.S., 1957, 87 Minutes) “The Paths of Glory Lead
    PATHS OF GLORY (U.S., 1957, 87 Minutes) “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” (Thomas Grey, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, 1751) After 28 year old Stanley Kubrick directed the film version of Humphrey Cobb’s 1935 semi-fictional novel in 1957, he was asked why he had produced an anti-war film at the patriotic height of the Cold War. Kubrick reportedly replied that he had not made an anti-war film but rather a political one about authoritarian ignorance. Both the film and the novel are not so much anti-war and pacifistic as they are critiques of the bureaucratic apparatus organized to conduct modern warfare. As is currently being described in OLLI course F304, by 1915 the Great War in the West reached a bloody stalemate. The German Army, with minimal ground holding forces and skillful deployment of men and guns, repulsed every Allied attempt to drive it from France and Belgium in battles at Ypres, Arras, the Argonne Forest, and in Champagne. French losses alone reached a staggering 1,000, 000 fatalities. Against this backdrop (and with portents of Verdun to come), Paths of Glory presents the story of common French infantrymen caught in the web of military gamesmanship and blind ambition in command. The film emphasizes the gap between those who receive orders in the trenches and their self-serving, ruthless and opportunistic commanders in the rear. Focusing on the chain of command, the film targets the army as an institution which seems to lurch from one murderous horror to the next, guided by the ambitions and vanities of the moment.

  • Hollywood's Treatment of World War I
    Making Meaning from the Images: Hollywood’s Treatment of World War I John Harvey Lesson Purpose The purpose of this lesson is for the student, using the guidelines provided in the unit objective to focus on the importance of World War I not only as an historic event but also as a multi-faceted tool of Hollywood. It is not to say that Hollywood is secretly run by an illuminati bent on shaping our view of the world, but the images Hollywood presents can often be interpreted as representative of certain ideologies that were present during the era of a given film‘s production. History, it is said, repeats itself. Sometimes, history on film tells as much about the time the film was made as about the period it is depicting. The view through cinema shows themes or images that bear repeating. Characteristic of the great movie machine, Hollywood has often used the power of the cinematic medium to persuade audience viewers to view things in a different light. Just as a director or cinematographer will deliberately reposition the lighting setup for a given shot from a film to enhance, de- emphasize, or subtly affect the appearance of a set or a particular actor, directors, producers, and studios have used film as a means of promulgating a virtue, ethos, or value system via narrative structure or a juxtaposition of images. This is commonly accepted as one of the most powerful components of any visual medium, and film is certainly not an exception to the rule. Some have maintained that such use of an art form is propaganda.

Magda: Stanley Kubrick -- Auteur Stanley Kubrick – Auteur by Adriana Magda (Motion Picture Television 1113) tanley Kubrick is considered one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in history. Many important directors credit Kubrick as an important influence in their career and Sinspiration for their vision as filmmaker. Kubrick’s artistry and cinematographic achievements are undeniable, his body of work being a must watch for anybody who loves and is interested in the art of film. However what piqued my interest even more was finding out about his origins, as “Kubrick’s paternal grandmother had come from Romania and his paternal grandfather from the old Austro-Hungarian Empire” (Walker, Taylor, & Ruchti, 1999). Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26th 1928 in New York City to Jaques Kubrick, a doctor, and Sadie Kubrick. He grew up in the Bronx, New York, together with his younger sister, Barbara. Kubrick never did well in school, “seeking creative endeavors rather than to focus on his academic status” (Biography.com, 2014). While formal education didn’t seem to interest him, his two passions – chess and photography – were key in shaping the way his mind worked.

In keeping with the strategy advocated by Grand-Maison (« l’attaque à l’outrance » – attack to the bitter end) General Brulard plans an attack on a fortress hill, the Anthill, in the middle of “no man’s” land for the dubious reasons of publicity- seeking and career promotion. When the attack inevitably fails, General Mireau orders his artillery to fire on his own men in order to force them out of the trenches saying, “if the little sweethearts won’t face German bullets then they will face French bullets”. Later he insists that 10 men from each regiment be tried (for “cowardice in the face of the enemy”) and executed, but reluctantly settles for a symbolic one man from each group.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
