An Exercise In Nonsense
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
View MorePatton3 Out Of 5Patton is a character driven feature that follows up its characters like an irrevocable command. The work that went behind writing just the protagonist clearly pays off, for it is the only thread that one wants to hold on to in this overstretched journey and boy what a thrilling ride it has to offer. It is rich on technical aspects like costume, production and art design, sound department, cinematography and editing. The camera work is stunning, it is shot beautifully with amazing locations and visuals that endorses the feature. The screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North, is electrifying and smart if not gripping and the only reason to that would be the overlong runtime that it ticks for which seems inessential at certain points. Franklin J. Schaffner; the director, is in his A game and has done an excellent work on executing the feature which could have easily been blunt and disenchanting and the key to that would be the sense of urgency that is created to bind it all. The performance objective is scored majestically by the protagonist George C. Scott and Karl Malden in his supporting role. Patton is a self-challenged and self-motivated feature whose protagonist justifies its title like never before.
View MorePatton 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.
View MoreSound: Excellent environmental sound. Great use of the fanfare orchestral theme. 85/100 Technical: Very good use of montage editing emphasizing character. Excellent reenactment of the war. High quality cinematography. 90/100 Narrative: Great use of the opening monologue to set up our protagonist. Presented the historical facts well, the inaccuracies seemed minor. I have read "A Soldiers Story" by Omar Bradley and found the film made the tension between Patton and Bradley not as strong as is really was but is still was there in the film. The story arcs well; we see Patton rise, fall, rise again and retire. Good use of companion story from the German perspective also. 90/100 Acting/Character: High quality portrayal of Patton and Bradley. We see some of the tension between Patton and Bradley but more is placed between Patton and Montgomery. 95/100 Did I enjoy it: Yes, a great deal. I was kept attentive with what Patton was going to say or do next. 100/100 Artistic merit: The opening monologue is the most iconic piece of this film; added to a well crafted film give it it's power 85/100 Total score 90.8/100
View MoreMusic by Jerry Goldsmith? It will be awesome! As suggested in film class, this is a war movie, but shouldn't be taken that way if you're seeing this film for the first time. George C Scott is incredible throughout the film, and as Patton was a bugger and a pain to so many people around his circle, you really start to fall on his side of the argument when you see the portrayal by Scott. There are actually some decent battle scenes, but that's not what the film was made to show, and it's not what Schaffer was looking to exploit for the narrative. the aspect ratio was enormous! I cant imagine the lenses used for this film, and there are some great wide-angle shots of North Africa and European country sides that are phenomenal. As mentioned in the first line, the music by Goldsmith is stellar, and I wonder if Jerry Goldsmith can take fair to bad movies and just make them great with his original scores!
