Kubrick's "Paths Of Glory"- Final Scene

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 7 years 11 months 2 weeks ago

The best final scene in cinema? A tough call, but this moving, unforgettable scene ranks up there with the greatest. Battered by the brutality and injustice of war, these soldiers are the real human beings.

Paths of Glory is based loosely on the true story of five French soldiers executed for mutiny during World War I; their families sued, and while the executions were ruled unfair, two of the families received one franc each (roughly equivalent to 15 American cents in today's currency), while the other three received nothing.

The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th'inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Of course, the girl that sings in this scene went on to marry Stanley Kubrick, the director of this movie....and they remained married right up until he died.
