Paths of Glory

“Timothy Carey made a movie who's he's one of the guys that killed in the end of the movie. He was the only actor that Kubrick allowed to improvise and he made a crazy movie that I love that I don't think has ever been on DVD called The World's Greatest Sinner that everyone should try to see. Great opening scene. Great last shot, too.”

“I've always been a big fan of war movies and Paths of Glory. I think from my point of view Paths of Glory is the great Kubrick film because I felt that I was with the company in the trenches.”

“And here is the film that completely changed my view of what films are about. It was a Saturday matinee in the San Fernando Valley. I was about 13 years old and this film came on and it completely changed my life because I fully realized films are about justice, injustice, the rights, the wrongs of the world. The tracking shots are all my homage to Stanley and those wonderful shots going through the trenches. First time I'd seen a film that I was aware of the camera.”
