One crazy fact about the movie "Paths of Glory" is that it was banned in France for almost 20 years after its release. The film, directed by Stanley Kubrick, is a powerful anti-war drama set during World War I and stars Kirk Douglas as a military officer who refuses to carry out an unjust and potentially deadly mission. The film's unflinching portrayal of the brutality and corruption of the military establishment was seen as a direct criticism of the French military, and the government felt that it was too controversial to be shown in theaters. It wasn't until 1975 that "Paths of Glory" was finally released in France, where it was met with critical acclaim and helped to solidify Kubrick's reputation as one of the greatest directors in film history. Today, the film is considered a classic of the war genre and a powerful statement against the futility and horror of war.
