Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
dworldeater Patton is a very rich and engrossing biological film about General Patton. It is more of a character study of the man than a film about WW2 and George C Scott delivers an incredible performance that won him an Oscar. The film holds up well through the years and looks and sounds amazing. The script was very edgy and original at the time and elevated the status of up and coming film maker Francis Ford Coppola, who also received an Oscar for his work on the screenplay. While the approach to the subject matter was fresh and original, it has much in common with much of the other WW2 films that came before it. What is most interesting is the complicated layers to General Patton as a man and George C Scott delivered an amazing performance. Overall, the film Patton is very classy and very well made production that was both commercially and critically successful. A classic film that deserves the acclaim it has received.
seeleyal This film is nothing short of a masterpiece. Not your classic war film, it is entirely focused around the rise, fall, and redemption of a well-respected general. We are able to watch the war from both sides as well, through the respective languages (which I believe was a very nice touch). The cinematography is that of a classic war film, put together with some very artistic long takes. Also, it is very naturalistic in the sense that you see the scenes the way that you may see it in real life. Without dramatic shadows, colors, and lighting. The sound is fantastic as well because you are often not distracted by background music. In fact, in most dialogue-heavy scenes the only noise whatsoever is the dialogue, forcing the viewer to take notice of the advancements in plot. Lastly, I admire this film very much because of these elements. For me it is very difficult to watch a war film that is driven so much through the dialogue and "behind-the-scenes" action. However, I found it difficult to turn my eyes from the screen and became wrapped up in Patton's story. This film is a must see for everyone!
Miguel Neto Patton is a great movie War, portrays well the war and its damage, the cast is very good, George C. Scott this great, the cast is very well also, the direction of Franklin J. Schaffner is very good, more the film has problems, I found the slow pace, the film takes a long time, with some is needless dialogues, the battle scenes are very good, the soundtrack is excellent, especially the theme music, the costume is very good, has scenes well strong, as in the opening scene, Patton is a great movie, has great scenes, even me finding the rhythm of slow film, tiring at times, have good performances, a great speech at the beginning of the film and a great soundtrack. Note 8.3
wistern I have watched this film few times. The first was perhaps thirty years ago. The last a few minutes ago. I have always thought it a very good film. Now I think it is a great one. I have not read any biographies of Patton and I cannot comment on the historical accuracy, but the film is flawless. From the score, which is as good as any I can think of, the cinematography which is beautiful shot, the script and of course the outstanding performances of both Malden and Scott. It is a real epic and the best film I have ever seen on the subject of war. Yes in parts it glorifies war but then it is about one of the finest generals of the 20th century. It has stood the test of time even down to the prophetic and profound speech by Patton about 'push button' warfare. Magnificent.
