in this film. Dax tries to get them out of the trenches but the soldiers will not move because they know they will die. When Dax goes up the ladder out of the trench to try to lead the charge shows why the soldiers won’t move because Dax can’t get out of the trench without a dead body rolling onto him. Another infuriating scene in Paths of Glory‚ that’s shows how greedy the people in charge during the war is the trial scene. This scene is why this film is highly regarded as a great film. This scene

The social ills of this area are not just a result of one issue‚ but multiple issues within the community including the average
