Details
Movie Description
PATTON is a three-dimensional bronze bust of World War II field general George S. Patton (George C. Scott) who wrote poetry, fired pistols at strafing fighter planes, and loved America with a lofty and historical zeal. Tracing his personal rivalries with such generals as Rommel and Montgomery, his problematic treatment of his own men, and his nearly runaway contempt for diplomacy, the film triumphs as an enduring portrait of a complex and larger-than-life figure. PATTON was recipient of 10 Academy Award Nominations and winner of eight, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Scott, Best (Adapted) Screenplay--Francis Ford Coppola/Edmund H. North.
Synopsis
An award-winning and highly praised biography of controversial World War II hero General George S. Patton. The film covers his wartime activities and accomplishments, beginning with his entry into the North African campaign and ending with his removal from command after his outspoken criticism of US post-war military strategy.
Industry Reviews
"...[Scott's performance] is still the glue holding together this blunt study of war..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - p.64 - Roy Hemming
"...One of the best American movies....A great film....The opening shot is a stunner..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/03/2002)
"...[PATTON] still mesmerizes on the strength of George C. Scott's chew-your-behind performance as George S. Patton..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (11/05/1999)
"[A] riveting portrayal of rampant egomania with Scott fully deserving of his best actor Oscar."
Uncut - Simon Button (08/01/2001)
4 stars out of 5 -- "It's certainly a great performance from Scott, a seamless, pity-free portrayal."
Total Film - Nev Pierce (06/01/2006)
Quotations
"Nobody ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." -- General George S. Patton (George C. Scott)
