Is the old film "Glorious Road" wearable?
Many old movies, like gravel, rolled in the river of time, causing a few blisters, which were quickly washed away. However, some classic works are just like gold. Sinking into the river of time, they may be silent, but as time goes by, they are washed brighter and brighter. Stanley? The American film Road to Glory (1957) directed by stanley kubrick is such a piece of gold. The film was not allowed to be staged in France until 1975 because it showed the wrong command and unfair behavior of senior French generals. Kirk, the big star of the year? Kirk Douglas suffered a lot of accusations and financial losses because he participated in the performance of such a film, but he persisted and ensured that the film was completed on schedule. The Library of Congress 1992 thinks that this film has "cultural, historical and aesthetic value", so that it can survive and be staged again at the London Film Festival in 2004. Today, this film has been nominated by the American Film Academy as one of the best 100 films in a century and one of the best 10 palace films. In fact, the highlight of this film is that Douglas defended three defendants in a military court. The court tried the representatives of three so-called cowardly soldiers. In ancient Rome, there was a punishment of "ten killing one" for soldiers who were afraid of the battle. Unexpectedly, during World War I, France actually implemented a similar criminal law. This is not a film fabrication, but a historical basis. These three soldiers on trial are not particularly timid. They were randomly selected by their superiors to replace their legions. The so-called "crossing" is entirely because the German firepower is too strong to complete the task. The so-called "random selection" is not like ancient Rome, where soldiers lined up and killed one person for every ten people. One of the three men was retaliated because of a conflict with his superiors, the other was appointed by his superiors because no one liked him, and only the third was decided by lot, although he was praised twice for his bravery in the battle.
