Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2006)

This is a fantastic portrayal of one of the greatest Generals that ever lived. This movie was created as Patton himself would have wanted it to be. George C. Scott even looks somewhat like Patton, although the voice is a major discrepancy. Patton's real voice was actually rather high-pitched. The score is also fantastic, the theme of echoing trumpets captures the complex, contradictory and enigmatic man that was Patton. However one should note a few things. First, the movie makes to mention of Patton's soft side, for he was indeed a gentle man, when he wasn't in the midst of a battle. Also note that while all the events in the movie are true, each one actually happened, many are slightly out of sequence, or context.
