Chrimle Review of Paths of Glory

Paths of Glory (1957)

Decent story, but unfamiliar characters made the conclusion over-dramatic...

[5/10 · 2 December 2020]

A well paced movie, despite many shots being unnecessarily long and not directly progressing the story. The story is simple and well established, the only issue is the various characters having similar names - and are often confused when their role were not mentioned. It certainly had the potential to be a lot more emotional, but unfortunately, the characters were completely flat and not at all familiar before it was over. Even though it shows moral dilemmas from difference perspectives, the conclusion was very underwhelming...
