In Reply to: Ebert on Kubrick's "Paths of Glory" posted by rico on March 7, 2005 at 08:47:24:
The Western Front during WW I was nowhere near being 500 miles long. Ebert should look at a map of western Europe. The entire front was less than 200 miles long, the French held perhaps 2/3 of it, the English and Commonwealth troops the rest.
Follow Ups:
Well, MapQuest shows a driving distance of 397 miles from Ypres in the north to Belfort near the Swiss border. AAA shows 391.5 miles for the same trip. 500 miles may be an exageration, but 200 miles seems a little small. It's true that most of the action took place in the north ... Ebert may have been relying on a reference that included the Italian front, which was contiguous with the "Western Front."
men under similar circumstances to "Paths of Glory", during the Boer war, and in many ways a much better film than Kubricks

I love them both, but the Morant is a good film, while the PoG is special.
