The film delves into the futility and irony of trench warfare, specifically highlighting the detrimental effects it has on both the physical and mental well-being of the soldiers. Through powerful storytelling, Paths of Glory sheds light on the brutal conditions and the horrors of war, as well as the disconnect between the commanding officers and the men in the trenches.
