It's obvious by his smirk that Cpl. Ferole knows, just as Col. Dax does, the utter absurdity of trying to take Anthill with just Pvt. Meyer. A great performance by the late, great, eccentric Timothy Carey.
The acting, the pathos, the absurdity of arguing for truth, the ridiculousness and utter ignorance of the upper echelon officers, and the exasperated Dax--the anger, oh the infernal anger. This is without a doubt one of the greatest movies of,all time.
The most obvious, and disgusting, part of the scene is this prosecuting attorney in his neat uniform, smirkingly, never having tasted one moment of any combat
Agree. I thought Richard Anderson played the part great. He was such a smug, kiss up to the general, but when it came to reading the execution order at the end, I think he realized what the system had done to these men and regretted the part he played in it.
The accomplished director of photography of the movie, Georg Krause, was from Germany . Shortly before this movie he had also photographed two parts of the classic trilogy of the "o8 / 15" - movies, which were among the first movies made in Germany about WW2 in 1954/55. He was known and especially aporeciated for his gritty and grisp black & white cinematography. In fact he never shot a single movie in colour. Some further fun facts about this movie: Kirk Douglas played not only the lead role, but served also as producer of the movie thru his own production company, Bryna-Productions. The movie was completely shot on a pretty tight budget ( close to 1000000 $) at the Bavaria Studios, Munich-Geiselgasteig and some nearby surroundings in Germany. The trenches were built and the battle scenes filmed on a field near Munich-Pullach. The "New Castle Schleißheim" in Oberschleißheim is the location, where the execution scene was filmed in front of, and also the trial scenes were filmed inside that same castle. The specialist providing the (then still solely ) practical pyrotech effects was the famed German FX-man, Karl "Charlie Boom Boom" Baumgartner, who'd provide the pyrotech effects for some thirty years for many international movies, among them "The Longest Day" (USA 1962), "Dunkirk 1940" ( France 1964), "The Bridge at Remagen" (USA 1968), "Waterloo" ( Italy/USSR 1970), "A Bridge too Far" (GB 1977), "Steiner - The Iron Cross" ( Germany 1977) and "Das Boot" (Germany 1979/80/81) To save the production same money ironically all the ( non-speaking ! ) extras playing French soldiers were actually German policemen recruited from the state police of Bavaria, because they got payed by the Bavarian federal state and were by law not allowed to earn some extra money, because, as said, they were state officials. There really lies some irony in the fact, that all the extras playing French soldiers were actually Germans, doesn't it !? ;) This was a rather cheap method for the Bavarian goverment to promote the movie production facilities in Munich to foreign producers and attract them to produce their movies there. The policemen would be sent to the movie set during their official work hours and got paid by the state. Another advantage of hiring policemen as extras was, that they were naturally used to handle arms, so the production had not to spend considerable time in give unexperienced extras some training lessons in it. ( Five years later another classic American war movie would be produced here as well : "The Great Escape" with an all star cast. And in 1979/80 another classic, "Das Boot", this time as a complete German production.) But it is pretty likely, that most of these men had also actually fought as soldiers, the older ones in WW1 ( and maybe they were even forced to fight again in the "Volksturm" during the last months of WW2 ) and the younger men probably in WW2. So most of the non-speaking extras certainly knew the song, that tje German girl sings on the last scene ( "Der treu' Husar" / "The Faithful Husar") and could fully understand the lyrics. So it was probably no big acting deal for them to tear up, when Christiane Kubrick had sung it in front of them so movingly and in such plain fashion like a German mother from a hundred years ago would have sung it to her little child. There lies so much "innocence" in the unpretentious way she sings this simple tune, that you can't help but being deeply touched by it. Kind regards from a classic movie buff from Germany !
The utter absurdity of war when officers care more about their own careers than they do the lives of their men. The ones that should have been placed before a firing squad were the odiots in charge.
It's appalling how little regret and honor the "leadership" had in sending their men on a suicide mission. They compounded it by making three men the scapegoats for their own ambition and incompetence.
And their entire country paid for their incompetence in blood. What some generals did in both WWs on both sides should have been considered treason, just like the politicians who allowed it to happen.
Among the very most powerful war/anti-war films ever made, and with one of the greatest casts. I prefer this Kubrick film to almost everything else he did. (He met his match with Timothy Carey!). PATHS OF GLORY, GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES....few other films attain the heights in taking audiences to the depths of war.
First I watch this movie was in 1987 .some one recommend it And it was best anti war movie evermake.the camera work.the set.the lighting the acting.the dialoque was top notch. It should have won the best picture.
The other two have good military records, although SPOILER it doesn't save them. The one played by Joe Turkel (Arnaud) is wearing a gallantry medal but was selected at random. I don't know about the French, but I have looked at court-martial files on the Web of British soldiers sentenced to death and executed in WW1, and social judgments about them are often present in superior officers' comments explaining why pleas for clemency were disallowed etc.
Anyone griping about all the yanks in the French army should remember that this is a movie for grown ups. If you want 'outrageous accents' in the trenches just go watch the The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones.
He hammed it up a bit, apparently he was fired from the set and was replaced by a double for his final scene (his prison cell confession with the priest)
I love this film, one of my all time favorites. Just one note of discrepancy though. Carey's character in one breath suggests that he agrees with the absurdity of storming the ant hill alone ('Just me and Meyer, your kidding sir'), then shortly after suggests that he should have indeed taken it, but retreated ('I knew we should have taken ant hill, but we come on back'). S
The implication is they were supposed to have taken it or died in the attempt. The instinct for self-preservation is cowardice and warrants death, according to the prosecutor and generals who certainly did not go over the top themselves.
Should have sent all those desk soldiers to that the "anthill"...as it's obvious they knew how to do it ...in situations like this it is painful to see how they try to railroad someone into taking the blame....but they themselves ( the generals) are to blame....yes with war there are casualties....but WW1.....oh my god....
I don't really think that's an error, michaelpbeck , Carey is almost certainly just portraying an opportunistic guy trying to save his skin. His story is a balancing act between what's true and what's just advantageous to say, and it's not constantly level.
He clearly regarded taking the Anthill as hopeless but then accommodated himself to what the officers would presumably think. He is doomed anyway, what he says does not matter.
i do love the occasional looks of sympathy, or guilt, the judges give. like they know it's fucked up to do this to these guys, but they're doing it anyway. some with the prosecutor who chokes up a bit when they're about to be shot
Corporal Paris is the most powerful character of the three prisoners in this great movie. For some reason, people praise Timothy Carey (Private Ferol). I don't think facial expressions of Carey fulfilled the requirements of the character. He can be seen half smiling in certain scenes and his eyes clearly do not go with the scene in this clip too. I rate acting of this actor in this particular movie as inadequate and flawed. I am a great admirer of work of Anjou playing General Broulard and less of George McCready playing General Mireau and even lesser of Kirk Douglas playing Colonel Dax. Obviously, all of this is IMHO.
Those officers and court know that man was not a coward. He was not insubordinate. There is no shame or dishonor in retreating from insurmountable odds and danger. The officers should lose their command for wanton risk of soldiers. The royalty of the UK, Russia and Germany where all related. They probably wanted to reduce the population of the youth of their nations. Sad note; some American soldiers stayed in Germany in the mosel river valley to operate the vineyards because the German soldiers that owned the vineyards were killed in war.
You can also watch the French version, but I bet I understand it better than you ;). Now, that said, this film is a charge against the French army (at least the framing). But what is denounced here could be seen in other armies. Without wanting to take a "glorious" opposite view, (there were shots, officers obsessed with their glory and career advancement, mutinies, etc.), the veterans who experienced this war would not have (and didn't) all like that all that is shown of this battle and the French army is the point of the film. In a context where each offensive could cost thousands of lives that dragged on, the human aspect had little place, but for them the feeling of having "done the job" was very important. Otherwise, how to overcome so many sacrifices?
Paths of Glory and "Breaker Morant" exemplify the horrible treatment of real soldiers and how soldiers are made pawns of sacrifice to benefit superior officers
Holy fucking shit that was frustrating to watch. How the tribunal couldn't even seem to fathom why those two guys didn't win the war on their own. Probably thought they were Call of Duty protagonists, christ.

Tim Carrey was not a... mentally stable man. He was disruptive and clashed very drastically with Kubrick. One day I guess he did not bother showing up anymore.
He condemns himself by saying "I knew we should have taken that hill." This is a ridiculous thing for him to say. Kubrik made a huge mistake with that. He wasn't infallible. I've seen quite a few simple, obvious errors in his films.
I think it's more of a soliloquy mixed with sarcasm, rather than condemnation to himself. It's as if he's saying "Oh yeah, so I should HAVE taken that hill with just two of us, huh? Idiots."

@@martinidry6300 Wouldn't call Lyndon's shoes that film's make-or-break, not by a mile. People often do fatal dumb or irrational things and this "Paths" soldier was no genius: their deaths were pre-decided, plus that written testimony concerned the general and wouldn't have excused these soldiers. It's foolish to think Kubrick would have painted negligence into his protagonist here. The rest of your views on Kubrick's films are yours to have and hold, but "amateurish" among your other totally subjective adjectives is the most laughable. As for Kubrick "wasting most of his life," you're way out of your league.
Timothy Carey reminds me of Nicolas Cage. He's strange and had a unique way of acting. Unlike Cage, he could actually act. Cage is a drooling idiot who is trying to fool people into thinking he's some kind of genius. Nope. He is just a very terrible and irritating moron who got his parts in movies because he is a member of the insider Hollywood Coppala family.
Also Wild At Heart, Bringing Out The Dead, Raising Arizona, Adaptation, and the the recent insane acid horror insanity known as Mandy (beyond insane), among others. But sure, people can just make broad generalization about him, it's certainly easier than having to do actual critical thinking, when they can simply settle for parroting "he sucks" whenever his name is mentioned. I say this fully aware he has given some terrible performances in films that were poorly written. He is an inconsistent actor who needs a well written script and a talented director who knows how to guide his eccentric, off-kilter personality.
who else has a sudden desire to see the prosecution have there still living entrails removed by rabid chihuahuas dragging them out while a gourmet french chef tenders them into stomp womped chitlins for the still waiting officers to dine upon?
It's obvious by his smirk that Cpl. Ferole knows, just as Col. Dax does, the utter absurdity of trying to take Anthill with just Pvt. Meyer. A great performance by the late, great, eccentric Timothy Carey.
Brilliant acting! Great scene! RIP Timothy, brother from Bay Ridge!.
Ferol knows he's doomed and gives the brass the finger...
Doing a good Nichols Cage impression. Just like a private being crucified by corrupt officers.
"Eccentric:? This guys bio indicates he was nuts in real life.
I think his smirk is meant to convey that he's mentally challenged.

Seen this movie multiple times. After seeing this clip I’ll watch it again tonight.
He feels like the kind of guy that could only come along in the sixties but here he is in the fifties.
A Hep-cat
Exactly. Or even the 70s. Watch him in The Killing, also by Kubrick.
The 50s were not that innocent.
Society was boiling.
At the time, he’s a guy who would be referred to as a beatnick. Counter cultture’s pre cursor to the hippie.
I've always felt that about Timothy Carey. He was a living anachronism.

@@kreg857 The director is responsible for the end product. The scriptwriter for the dialogue. That line doesn't make any sense - excepting you.
While I'm at it Kirk has written testimony that could save the condemned soldier's from execution. He allows Adolph Menjou to retain that testimony. Again a giant mistake as Kirk's character is condemning his soldier's by pure negligence. Too few listen or see, with perfectly good eyes and ears but hampered by stupidity. Over to you.
You slide over my point. Being sarcastic or ironic in a court martial, when it involves agreeing with the prosecution is ridiculous.
Stanley Kubrick made mistakes. Glaring and amateurish. He was over rated. Barry Lyndon is beautifully made and a bore. The Shining is a mega bore. Eyes Wide Shut = what a drag. Clockwork Orange = an avante garde play turned into motion picture - Yuk! 2001 = 90 minutes too long. Last good film was Strangelove. Pity he didn't make Napoleon = he wouldn't have wasted most of his life.
@@martinidry6300 Wouldn't call Lyndon's shoes that film's make-or-break, not by a mile. People often do fatal dumb or irrational things and this "Paths" soldier was no genius: their deaths were pre-decided, plus that written testimony concerned the general and wouldn't have excused these soldiers. It's foolish to think Kubrick would have painted negligence into his protagonist here. The rest of your views on Kubrick's films are yours to have and hold, but "amateurish" among your other totally subjective adjectives is the most laughable. As for Kubrick "wasting most of his life," you're way out of your league.
Timothy Carey reminds me of Nicolas Cage. He's strange and had a unique way of acting. Unlike Cage, he could actually act. Cage is a drooling idiot who is trying to fool people into thinking he's some kind of genius. Nope. He is just a very terrible and irritating moron who got his parts in movies because he is a member of the insider Hollywood Coppala family.
First, he doesn't drool. Second, he's not an idiot. Leaving Las Vegas tells you that.
Also Wild At Heart, Bringing Out The Dead, Raising Arizona, Adaptation, and the the recent insane acid horror insanity known as Mandy (beyond insane), among others. But sure, people can just make broad generalization about him, it's certainly easier than having to do actual critical thinking, when they can simply settle for parroting "he sucks" whenever his name is mentioned. I say this fully aware he has given some terrible performances in films that were poorly written. He is an inconsistent actor who needs a well written script and a talented director who knows how to guide his eccentric, off-kilter personality.
I get more of a John Lithgow vibe...
Cage most certainly went to school on Carey....
who else has a sudden desire to see the prosecution have there still living entrails removed by rabid chihuahuas dragging them out while a gourmet french chef tenders them into stomp womped chitlins for the still waiting officers to dine upon?
Good movie but not as good as all the others Kubrick's movies.
It's his best.
