Patton review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/12/11
The story of General George S. Patton (George C. Scott) in various battles in American II Corps in North Africa, Allied invasion of Sicily and Battle of the Bulge. He is a General with a conceited, vain attitude mixed with exceptional strategic battlefield tactical concepts to win battles. George C. Scott's astounding performance really made the film a classic to watch. The cinematography is one of the best scene on screen because of the different locations utilized. The score was likewise memorable. Its technical in terms of screenplay and focuses on the General's sometimes absurd comments that affects his brilliant career. Some nice quotes from the picture: "All my life I've wanted to lead a bunch of men in a desperate battle. Today, I get to do just that." "An entire world at war and I'm left out of it? God will not permit this to happen! I will be allowed to fulfill my destiny!" Patton had a few dragging parts since it is a bit dated, still, as a whole the film was enjoyable to watch.
