I just bought "Patton" on DVD, the movie about WWII General Patton from 1970 starring Ceorge C. Scott. It was rewarded 8 Oscars! I haven't seen this one yet but I loved George C. Scott as General Buck Turgidson in Dr. Strangelove. Anyone seen Patton? What do you think of it? It looks like a great warmovie... |

WOW! What a movie! I highly recommend this to anyone that can dig Apocalypse Now. George C. Scott does a most remarkable job as General Patton and his efforts earned him an Oscar in 1970. However, Scott refused to take the price and stayed home watching a hockey game instead! General Patton, eccentric and cynical and as passionate about the war as he is makes for a very entertaining movie character. He believed in reincarnation and saw himself as having been reborn time and time again as a great warrior throughout history. There is this one scene for instance where he's talking about how he wants to meet Rommel man to man in a tank battle and let that one battle settle the outcome of the war. Disappointed with the fact that this kind of warfare is out of fashion, Patton remarks: "I hate the 20th century!". There are lots of good quotes in this movie and the one that maybe amuse me the most is when Patton is asked what he thinks of Marocco and he answers that he likes it because it's like a combination of the Bible and Hollywood.. If there is anything negative to say about this movie it must be the silly, one-dimensional, stereotypical way the brits are portrayed in it. It's sheer parody, Black Adder style! I can imagine the brits being very offended by that. But don't let that stop you from seeing this great movie... Enjoy! |
