“Paths of Glory” is one of Kubrick’s most underated films (or at least lesser known) and the ending is pure emotional power.
The fact that you just spent almost 90 minutes hating humanity and the shitty situations in which we put ourselves as a species, only to be able to come away from the film thinking “we’re not all bad” because of what happens in the final 10 minutes blows my mind.
If you haven’t seen it, I can’t recommend it enough.


When I was a substitute teacher I would give the kids logic puzzles of varying difficulty. I would offer $100 if anyone could provide me with the answer to this one. If they looked it up on Wikipedia and could then explain it to me, I’d give them a king size candy bar.
I never had to pay out.
